On OKFN’s open-science list, Jenny Molloy of OKFN announced “GOSH! 2016”, the Gathering for Open Science Hardware, an event specifically dedicated to open hardware approaches for science, science equipment and education.
What: GOSH! 2016, Gathering for Open Science Hardware
Where: CERN, Switzerland
When: 2-5 March 2016
URL: http://openhardware.science/
On behalf of the organising committee for GOSH! 2016, the Gathering for Open Science Hardware taking place at CERN during 2-5 March 2016, I’d like to tell you a little about it and invite you to apply to join another 50 active users, developers and thinkers in open hardware for science, which we think has the potential to greatly benefit research and education. GOSH! is designed to seed what we hope will be an on-going meeting series and a stronger and more collaborative community in open hardware for science. We want to explore the diversity of existing projects, share best practices and identify needs within the groups engaged in making and using open hardware both within research institutions and beyond. We’ll listen to user stories and developer journeys, host a series of talk and workshops on everything from sharing and licensing to design for manufacture and participate in build workshops to learn from other projects. For more information and to apply via the lightweight form by 19 December 2015. Invitations will be sent out by early January. We are sorry to have such limited space for the event and there will be an opportunity to participate in some sessions remotely and hopefully join us for a larger event in 2017. There is no registration cost and we are currently in the process of sourcing travel sponsorship. We’re not currently in a position to guarantee support but we hope to be able to assist attendees where possible and particularly to fund any participants from the global South. Do let us know on the form if funding assistance would be useful to you.
