*** “Products & Services in Support of Open-Source-Energy Research” FORUM RULES & GUIDELINES ***
To better facilitate the transfer of products and services between members of open-source-energy.org and third-party vendors, we have created a forum dedicated to this mission. We have determined a strict adherence to purely Open Source objectives is a detriment to progress and are aware many Open-Source-Energy Research projects require the acquisition of third-party components and services. So to provide a clear delineation between the fully Open Source forums and these proprietary third-party vendors, we have constructed this forum as a landing point. Here is how we intend for this to work:
A. Non-Open Source products or services must be listed in this forum. To reference such materials or services from your Open Source project thread, you will need to first create the thread in this new forum that accurately describes the product or service with links to external websites or other contact information where the product or service can be purchased.
B. The next step is to link from your project thread to the thread you created as stated above above. This needs to be done whether you are building a project or just having a discussion about a potential project. We understand this introduces a bit of extra work when posting here at open-source-energy.org, but we feel it is an acceptable and necessary step to separate work that is truly Open Source from work that is not.
C. To check for compliance and proper use, it is expected within the other forums, there should be no links directly to outside vendors where a product or service is described and shown to be for sale. You can however link directly to a specification sheet or product image, provided such link or image is in no way associated with commerce. So as an example, consider these two links:
Example. 1.
http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Micr...h%2fFvs%3d
The above link would be considered unacceptable since it depicts a specific vendor where pricing information is described. In order to have such a link, you would need to create a new thread in the “Products & Services in Support of Open-Source-Energy Research” forum area, then reference it from the other forum areas. Most external links such us those to eBay would fall in this category. I would also caution using direct image links describing a specific vendor--these may also fall under this category.
Example. 2.
http://www.micrel.com/_PDF/mic4421-22.pdf
This link on the other hand simply shows the specification of a particular part and provides no real information as to how to obtain the part. A link like this would be considered acceptable and would not require a jump link to the “Products & Services in Support of Open-Source-Energy Research” area.
D. Ultimately, this may be seen as a bit of a pain and the question should arise, “What problem does this solve?” The benefit is it provides a mechanism for members of open-source-energy.org to sell products or services by listing them in this new forum and referencing them within the main forums--something we have strictly forbidden up until now. So for example, you wish to wind coils and have a really slick mechanism to do so. You may want to provide this service to other members and make a few dollars on the side to help you with your other research. The changes we are proposing will allow you to venture into this territory, provided you follow the rules as described herein.
E. There are some restrictions being imposed to create threads in this forum area; that being you must be a non-Newbie member in good standing. One must have at least 20 quality posts and have been a member for at least 90 days. This is to curtail the obtrusive spammer that has no interest in Open-Source-Energy Research and who want to accomplish their own goal. Other limitations and changes can and will be implemented as needed to make this as useful and as painless as possible.
F. Any links posted on the open-source-energy.org site before 1-1-14 will be considered “grandfathered in” and the rules for links do not apply.
Please check our notification page regularly if you wish to engage in any such activity.
These are just some guidelines, ultimately overly argumentative behavior, trolling and otherwise offensive behavior will not be tolerated, such posts will be moderated and the poster will even be banned if so determined by the forum staff.
*** DISCLAIMER ***
Do not attempt to build any electrical circuits, even those presented on this site, if you are not qualified, experienced and skilled. We assume no responsibility or liability, whatsoever, for anything caused by the usage of the website content.
We encourage members to highlight the potential dangers that may reside within a specific build as presented here. This goes for, not only the author/inventor of the build, but also to members who are familiar with the build/machine and recognize specific dangers that may be inherent when building and testing the machine/circuit at hand.
If you come here to work with a great group of people by contributing what you can, when you can, please, come on in. All we ask is that you report the facts as you see them, good and bad news is both needed and necessary. Some devices may have harmful side-effects; if you happen to notice this, please publish your findings in a timely manner. That would help others avoid similar issues.
