Hello:
just a quick note to alert you to
GOSH! Grounding Open Source Hardware
A Summit at the Banff Centre, Banff Alberta
July 16-18th, 2009
GOSH! consists of a Workshop session July 11-15th for invited artists,
engineers, theorists, producers and promoters of open source hardware,
followed by a public Summit session July 16-18th, 2009.
"The Grounding Open Source Hardware (GOSH!) Summit at The Banff Centre
serves to bring together the many and disparate makers, producers,
theorizers, and promoters of physical objects that come to life under
open and distributed models. This Banff New Media Institute (BNMI)
summit will highlight and facilitate the emerging dialogue on both
artist-driven and socially conscious open source hardware projects.
From prosthetic limbs to electronic hardware, the breadth of open
source hardware projects and distributed models of manufacturing
suggest that it is time for these disparate manufacturers, designers,
artists, and engineers to come together to discuss the common issues
of their practices."
