GOSH Gathering 2025! July 1! Ubiquity Day!

It’s happening!

10 years ago GOSH made a goal that by 2025 Open Science Hardware would be ubiquitous! (and i am not letting that slip by!)

July 1 will mark halfway through this momentous year, and many GOSH (and future GOSH folks) will be together at Dinacon in Bali! And since dinacon is such a weird, long-format conference, it can have subconferences within it, and as such, we are just going to go ahead and declare a celebration of GOSH’s successes and wins over the past 10 years!

So please, even if you aren’t in Indonesia with us, set aside July 1 to rejoice in open science!

Dinacon - GOSH 2025
Here at Dinacon, we will host a day of discussing Open Science Hardware, the history of it, the different communities, have unconference workshops, build some mothboxes and other cool open science tools people can use right now!

We will have lots of different GOSH folks (like the Dinacon team) plus visiting GOSH superstars like @briannaljohns @arky @saadcaffeine @harold,folks from Bali Fablab and many more!!

We will try to do some live-streams throughout the day and can post links here!

Everywhere else! (Ubiquitously celebrate!)
There’s lots of things you can do to celebrate the ubiquity of open science tools (and the greater ubiquity to come :wink: )

  • Share things online
    • discuss what open science hardware means to you, and the future you see in it!
  • Organize a local get-together!
  • Just build an open science tool!
    • Making is one of the loveliest forms of celebrating! Get around to printing that open-flexure you have always wanted! Ask someone like @dusjagr how to turn your tool into an awesome synthesizer! Have fun with science!

At GOSH UBIQUITY DAY we had lots of fun activities already!

I held “office hours” in a very nice office and talked to folks like @Jan-Maarten about things like pidgeon cinema.

And me and @briannaljohns and @OSHWA @leeborg @juul
Held a forum about open licencing and certifying your projects!


Then we got folks to sign up 6 projects already to get openly licensed and certified!
