Hi everyone,
Happy 2018!
We are thrilled to announce the public release of the “Global Open Science Hardware Roadmap”, a collaborative document prepared by many hands and minds of the GOSH community! The Roadmap is the product of many brainstorming sessions, starting from community gatherings at CERN IdeaSquare and PUC-Chile in 2017. It materializes a year-long effort to debate, collect, and merge various forms of community input: from narratives of practical experience to ideas on how to better support hardware projects.
We took a long time to allow for direct contributions onto the text, passing through various versions which are also available for future use, modification, and redistribution. After (almost) a whole year of collective deliberation, we finally reached a rough consensus on the basic structure of the roadmap to include three chapters: learn, support, and grow.
As their titles suggest, we dedicate the whole report to the description of the challenges we face and propose practical action for supporting (community and academic-based) research and open hardware while actively helping to reach out for future contributors. Our roadmap is released with a promise: to combine our efforts to invent common solutions while drawing from and improving upon the practical recommendations for achieving our goal of making Open Science Hardware ubiquitous by the year of 2025.
