Just a quickie for anyone who is in the neighborhood, today the Open Source Hardware Association’s annual Open Hardware Summit conference starts in Edinburgh, Scotland. If you’re able to make it, it’s a microcosm of the open-source hardware world, and full of great talks and great hackers.
If you’re not in Scotland, they have a livestream on YouTube that you should check out, as well as a Discord server for discussions during the event. It’s going on right now!
“Edinburg, Scotland”, Edinburgh
I am here. Super cool people.
Is there any calendar that lists all kind of these events in one place? It happens so often that I learn about such an event on the day it starts, and could otherwise participate if only I knew earlier.
On HAD or on any other website?
Please use the correct name.
Despite the name of the hosting group being the Open Source Hardware Association, the website clearly shows it as the “Open Hardware Summit” without the extraneous “Source” word you’ve added.
I was about to write the same thing. It is a meaningful difference. Not all open hardware is “open source” in the sense of something that gets compiled from source code/files/etc. Also, as pointed out, it’s simply incorrect.
Thanks! Will fix.
Typo in the first comment?
Given the monopoliseing by raspberry pi, noting the bullying of HardKernel, what is “open” about hardware really?
