There are plenty of postgrads and plain opensource folks and global processor knowledge that all three of #OpenHW #OpenSW #OpenDev can be done for that right now today by the open source community same way as kernels are on github. #OpenFabs are almost the same as far as knowledge goes, but do require actual capital... to achieve dies that can compete with current offerings such a fab will need rich benefactors, crowdfunding / cryptocurrency. Funny that no one seems to have yet deployed the first three to create open cryptocurrency mining ASICs, even for printing in closed fabs. Currently all such chips seem to be secret for profit commercial endeavours. An #OpenHW ASIC could also be used to fund #OpenFabs.
