Dear fellow GOSHers,
We are starting tomorrow with our GOSH in Kathmandu, Nepal, together with our friends from Karkhana Samuha, and expecting a large participation from local participants. Workshops, expeditions, unconferencing, and more will happen on-site.
This time we also allocated a few slots in our programme for hybrid / online sessions, inviting speakers remotely to present and discuss their works, together with speakers irl discussing what is or could be Open Science Hardware in the local context.
We will use the open source BigBlueButton (BBB) for this online video calls, hosted on our instance by friends (digitale gesellschaft, sorry for the german language entrance portal)
it’s a bit of an experiment, but no worry, we will also record
