Dale Dougherty Discusses Language: Make, Maker, Maker Faires, Makerspaces

20120927-101636.jpg
Dougherty takes time to discuss the history of the variations of “Make” as they relate to Open Hardware.

He told the story of finding the word “Make” when working on a book related to the programming utility “make”, before demonstrating how a process of enlarging the scope of movement emerged through attempts to explore language about it.

A good name is important. Be open and inclusive.
