Regional Events 2022 - Please share updates in the forum!

Hello everyone,

Really excited by the regional events that were funded by GOSH this year in round 1 for $9910:

And round 2:

As announced in round 1 and round 2, all regional funding awardees should post pre- and post- event updates to the forum, so that the wider GOSH community can stay informed on your progress.

Some of these events have already posted at least one update on their progress. That’s great! And…

:wave: This is a reminder for all events to continue sharing updates in this forum

We’d love to know how your events are going! Thanks everyone. :hearts:

We had a successful first Just One Giant Summit on Friday 1 July 2022, bringing together speakers from academia, industry, and civil society, from organisations, labs, and groups around the world. The event was held online on the Gather.Town platform, allowing for increased interaction and engagement in a virtual environment.

We had a number of great tracks including Open Science Hardware, Africa regional. LATAM regional and one on opportunities and challenges of community laboratories.

Videos of the various tracks will soon be available. Preliminary feedback has been positive, and we’re looking forward to implement suggestions for improvement in future editions. We’ll compile a report on the summit and share with various stakeholders including the GOSH community.

Many thanks to GOSH and the community for not only supporting the summit financially but also actively collaborating and participating in a meaningful way. We appreciate GOSH and all our partners. Thank you! :pray:t5:

Thanks for the update @dusjagr and @gamelmag! I really enjoyed being a small part of Just One Giant Summit, and was interesting experiencing Gather.Town for the first time.

Glad that the regional events are happening, and hope there will be future opportunities like this.

We’re in the organisational phase of the event planned for Autumn 2022: contacting collaborators and mentors, preparing materials and tools.
We also drafted the graphic and prepared the area of the website to release documentation and various announcements

Dear Gosh Regional events partners,
we’re happy to share some news about our event which is scheduled for saturday October 29th.
We’ve been having some warm-up afternoon in the past 3 weeks in order to prepare materials for the event and we published some documentation.
As we’re in Milan, Italy, the documentation is mainly in italian. We created an area of the website with all the posts: GOSH · OBOT
This page is where we shared the work in progress:
Microscapes - documentazione · OBOT
we also uploaded files on wikifactory repository
https://wikifactory.com/@zoe/microscope-adaptor

and here’s the event launch:

Excited to see the update, thank you so much @Zoe! :rocket: Really wish for a successful event!

I am also super curious:

I see you’re using PubPub and Wikifactory! How well are they working for you? Do you like it???

hey @hpy , thanks for interest and feedback.
Yes, we decided to use pubpub because it’s easier to download PDF from the webpage and it’s not an effort to print handouts during events, or generate a publication with specific documents. It’s not so good in dealing with images, and you can’t do galleries but we keep it simple.
I’ve been using wikifactory for some other project and it’s good because you can fork projects and keep track of changes on design files in 2d or 3d format and it becomes more transparent to receive contributions :slight_smile:

Thanks @Zoe for the quick and positive feedback about those platforms! I’d definitely like to give PubPub and try for a future project’s documentation.

We are rolling here in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, for our activities called “ROŠA - Regional Open Science Hardware & Art, Indonesia”, you find much information on the hackteria wiki.

“A regional event series combining a longer on-site residency, aswell as a research & production lab, local outreach and a gathering of interesting players from the region of South East Asia.”

We are hosting a very interesting and diverse group of people to collaborate for a joint residency from 15. October - 10. November 2022. Many local collaborators, artists, sound-geeks, researchers, collectives are here to join the activities.

Many workshops will be developed and shared with a public.

The collaborative research and projects will be developed collectively with the group, starting next week.

A showcase in the form of a “Night-Market” will happen 5/6. November.

A tour in the region will spread and share the developed knowlegdes beyond the event.

If anybody is in the region, please contact us, it’s an open event series for many people to participate!

Wow, @Zoe, this looks really beautiful, I would have loved to come. Unfortunately I just saw this now and am already busy on October 29th. But will it be maybe hybrid, so I can listen to some stuff you do there? I would really appreciate it.
All the best,
Stefanie (from Vienna)

HI @Stefanie, glad you like it! We’re going to keep it in presence, not hybrid because we’re going to be divided in two groups and be very hands-on. We’re going to share pictures later on and also share the outputs. it’s all in italian language, do you speak italian? In any case we can keep in touch and have a call to share with you as it seems you’re working of very similar topics :slight_smile:
