~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

Andrew Back announced the CfP for “Open Source Hardware Camp 2017”, taking place in September in the U.K. Note also ChipHack and ORConf! I wish O’Reilly’s Maker Faire would merge with this group, so that these OSH camps were worldwide, not just in the UK…

This year Open Source Hardware Camp will take place over the weekend of Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd September, hosted as part of the Wuthering Bytes festival in Hebden Bridge, which in 2017 will take place over the course of 10 days (again!). We will be returning to the Birchcliffe Centre in Hebden Bridge, which benefits from the convenience of adjoining, budget accommodation. Proposals for talks and workshops for OSHCamp 2017 are invited! That the deadline for submitting titles and abstracts is Monday 1st May. There is no theme and topics may include, for example: Open source hardware projects, Open development practices and principles, Novel/interesting/fun projects built using open source hardware, Tools (hardware and software), Skills and techniques, e.g. PCB fab, DIY SMT assembly, Relevant technologies, e.g. SPI/I2C bus programming, …something else relevant to the community. Other events running as part of Wuthering Bytes 2017 and which may be of interest:
* Fri 1st: Wuthering Bytes Festival Day, http://wutheringbytes.com/
* Wed 6th & Thurs 7th: Chip Hack, http://chiphack.org/
* Thurs 7th PM & Fri 8th AM: EDSAC Challenge
* Fri 8th AM – Sunday 10th PM: GNU ORConf, http://orconf.org/

Excerpts below taken from the announcement by Andrew Back on the OSHWA mailing list.

“Open Source Hardware Camp 2016 will take place place in the Pennine town of Hebden Bridge. For the third year running it is being hosted as part of the Wuthering Bytes technology festival. Tickets are priced at £10/day and this includes lunch. […] We currently have 12 talks and 4 workshops confirmed, with the possibility of one or two more. Covering a diverse range of topics, including laser light synths, LoRaWAN and The Things Network, open source digital cinema (includes Axiom 4K open hardware cinema camera demo/workshop), and iCE40 FPGA development with Yosys and LabRTC. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing the Axiom camera and getting hands-on with the Yosys and Arachne-pnr powered open source FPGA toolchain. […] As in previous years, there will be a social event on the Saturday evening and OSHCamp is once again being hosted to coincide with the Wuthering Bytes technology festival. You’re encouraged to check out the website for details of other participating events, as there may be some of interest. E.g. the annual GCC, GDB and friends developer conference, plus the first ever LLVM Cauldron!”
