Qi Hardware dice "¡Hola mundo!"

   

Qi Hardware, fundada en la creencia que el hardware abierto, produce dispositivos hardware de calidad aplicando los principios del Software libre a la electrónica de consumo. Los tres elementos fundamentales de nuestro desarrollo son hardware copyleft, nucleo "upstream" y software guiado por la comunidad.
Cada una des estos elementos forman una parte vital en nuestro Qi, o flujo de energía. Solo si los desarrolladores realmente conocen como funciona un dispositivo pueden sacarle máximo rendimiento, solo si mantenemos el núcleo upstream las aplicaciones podrán hacer uso de las ultimas tecnologías incorporadas y solo si escuchamos a la comunidad podremos trabajar junto con nuestros clientes para rediseñar la libertad.
