I’d like to offer my assistance. Last year, I hosted an Open Hardware TinyML workshop with support from Seeed Studio. I didn’t apply for anything this year, so I’m happy to help at the stall if you need me.
I’ve requested a table. We can re-use the banners from last year, I have a bunch of stickers as well. I can bring along an openFlexure device along with a centriDrive. Other device contributions for the exhibition table are welcome, send them over to me in Singapore. If they’re 3D printable point me to the STLs I’ll print them and take them along with me.
Anyone have GOSH or OpenScience designs to contribute for stickers please reply here or drop me a message, I’ll have them printed for distribution at the event. We’ll be doing awareness and outreach, inviting people to join / contribute to our forum.
I think it will be great to have a GOSH community booth there, especially with the outlook for our upcoming 10 Years GOSH event in Indonesia!
I will submit somthing to let us go through the official Call for Proposal.
Who else wants to join?
At the moment i am still trying to reschedule a Workshop back in Zurich, but otherwise i will be in the region for the coming 8 weeks, Indonesia first, then Thailand (mostly Chiang Mai) whole of February.
I’ll be there, i’ve requested a Community Exhibition table for my tech for good initiative (SalvageGarden) showing co-created assistive devices, BrailleRAP remains an active project but planning to show more 3d printable objects for this year. I’m of course happy to support the GOSH table I will bring along the banners but the x-frame stands often fail to make it through airline baggage handling.
