To investigate the meaning and importance of openness from a community’s perspective, I need to approach open design projects. I hence decided to conduct a web-based questionnaire survey in 20 communities associated with projects developing physical products following an open source development methodology. The focus of this research is to explore the relevance of openness and its aspects and to draw conclusions on developer satisfaction. Particularly the difference between software and hardware components shall be investigated in close detail.
