From @OSHWA , remember that October is Open Hardware month! And on oct 2nd they are having a fun event of a 24-hour telethon like fundraiser/hangout. If you want to talk about something open hardware and open science related, sign up below!
"I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to see if you would be interested in participating in an Open Source Hardware Association initiative for October; Open Hardware Month.
We are looking to run a 24-hour membership drive that will pull on people and organizations in our community to show off their work, workspace, and why open source hardware is important to them. We want to show all the incredible ways that OSHW exists out there, and all the incredible people who make that happen.
We are planning this as a 24-hour livestream where we can have people sign up for 20-40 minute slots starting October 2nd at 8am EST to October 3rd at 8am EST. It will be broadcast on our YouTube channel which can gain up to 3k+ views.
To streamline gathering interest please fill out this form.
We have 70 slots to fill which is a pretty huge thing so we’re really looking forward to seeing how many people we can fit in. Post livestream all segments will be put on YouTube as a playlist for people to watch later as well.
Looking forward to creating something super cool together!
