Was there no mention of Qi Hardware or Osmocom SDR?

I wonder if the OGP OpenGraphics qualifies as one of the oldest.

At least, that's probably one old open hardware project trying to address some annoying limitations of hardware (namely 3D chipsets lack of programming documentation).
Strange Bruce Perens does not mention them.
LCA: Addressing the failure of open source Posted Jan 24, 2012 19:50 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510) [Link] I have always considered the Open Graphics project to be very important. I hope they eventually become more than a prototype - one has to be a developer to get an OGD1. But I note that there have been no announcements since 2010.

Can I add the 'mesh potato' to the list of original innovators in the open hardware space? as well as it's predecessor, the IP04. David Rowe was way out in front here:

LCA: Addressing the failure of open source Posted Jan 24, 2012 19:58 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510) [Link] David gave his own talk, and repeated it after it won "best of conference". Of course we are working together on Codec2.David's girlfriend kindly hosted David, myself, Jean-Marc Valin (Speex, Opus), and Tim Terriberry (Theora, CELT) at her home for several days after the conference. Jean-Marc added statistical methods to the Codec2 codebook training during the visit, making the compression about a third better at equivalent signal-to-noise.
LCA: Addressing the failure of open source Posted Jan 24, 2012 19:46 UTC (Tue) by BrucePerens (guest, #2510) [Link] It's pointless to ask why I haven't mentioned something, there was only about 50 minutes in which I gave two speeches. One can't possibly do an exhaustive list in that time. Osmocom is interesting. I happen to have a few pf the original Ettus Research USRPs from a previous grant project, so I haven't used Osmocom yet.
Qi is interesting, but will be important if they ever manage to break out of being a nerds-only product.
