Hi All,
* *
After a slew of scheduling and resource issues, we've *finally* managed to
wrangle both a location AND a time for an "Open Hardware Workshop" --
please come if you can! Registration is free; details below.
Aside for PLOTS folks -- would any of you still happen to be available to
come out and give a talk, do a few demos, or both? We've got a lot of
flexibility in the schedule, and we'd love to have you present.
(Note: we're going to have to delay the "hands-on" workshop(s) we'd been
hoping to run, due to complications re: acquiring kits through the
university. I'll be emailing those of you who expressed interest in that
format soon so that we can start planning future hands-on workshops.)
*Event: *UMass Open Hardware Workshop
Time: Saturday, July 14th, 2012, 10 AM to 6 PM
Location: Integrated Sciences Building, Rm 221, UMass Amherst
http://goo.gl/maps/vE62
Abstract: The open hardware community has been evolving rapidly in recent
years, and there now exists a vast array of easy-to-use, inexpensive,
modular and highly flexible hardware designs that are becoming increasingly
useful for the rapid prototyping and implementation of cutting edge,
accessible scientific instrumentation. We hope this workshop will serve as
an introduction to this ecosystem through several demos, and that it will
generate discussion around how to accelerate the adoption of open hardware
in research.
Demos:
- Controlling a digital camera remotely
- A temperature feedback control platform
- Automation of laboratory experiments
- Wireless sensing
- Data acquisition and logging
- Breadboarding an Arduino
- … and others ...
Discussion:
- Status quo -- How are open hardware designs currently being used in
research?
- The future -- Which research fields are likely to adopt open hardware /
data platforms most rapidly? What are the potential barriers to wider
adoption?
- Calibration -- What are the best methods for calibrating open hardware
instrumentation?
- Community -- Who is a part of the open hardware community now, and how is
it changing?
- Data -- What are the advantages and challenges of open data sharing for
the scientific community?
Schedule:
9-10: Meet & Greet + Coffee
10-11: Talks I
11-12: Demos I
12-2: Lunch (BYOL -- or dine in scenic, downtown Amherst)
2-3: Demos II
3-4: Talks II
4-6: Discussion

I was considering, I am trying to pull together a few more people to share
a car. Let me know if there is a group from cambridge/somerville
organizing a trip out.
thanks, fiona

And I just heard from a friend at Tufts that he'll likely be driving from Boston early tomorrow morning. His name is Badel, and he has a car that will fit around four people. If you'd like to coordinate with him, his name is Badel, and his email is: landr...@gmail.com -- or you can text him at (330) 474-9270.
Looking forward to seeing whomever can make it! And we'll hopefully have some good demo videos for anyone who can't ... * *
