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

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.
