The Open Hardware Summit (OHS) invites submissions for the second annual
summit, to be held on*September 15, 2011* in New York City. The Open
Hardware Summit <http://www.openhardwaresummit.org/> is a venue to
present, discuss, and learn about open hardware of all kinds. The summit
examines open hardware and its relation to other issues, such as
software, design, business, and law. We are seeking submissions for
talks, breakout sessions, and demos from individuals and groups working
with open hardware and related areas. Submissions are due *by June 24,
2011*. Notification of accepted proposals will happen *by August 1st*.

Since the first Open Hardware Summit in 2010, we have seen the open
hardware movement continue to flourish. The Open-Source Hardware
Definition was announced <http://freedomdefined.org/OSHW>, the OSHW logo
was selected by a popular vote
<http://www.openhardwaresummit.org/2011/04/07/oshw-logo-selected/>, an
open source oil spill cleaning robot got more than $33,000 in crowd
funding
<http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cesarminoru/protei-open-hardware-oil-spill-cleaning-sailing-ro>,
Google adopted the open hardware movement’s biggest success
story, Arduino, as its platform
<http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/05/google-picks-arduino-for-android-open-accessory-kit.html>
and
our very own keynote speaker, Limor Fried, was featured on the front
page of Wired Magazine
<http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/03/16/thank-you-makers/> – to name a
few. Needless to say, open hardware is getting BIG.


   Submission topics

Topics of interest for the summit include, but are not limited to:

   * Lessons learned from past projects
   * Legal and intellectual property implications of open-source hardware
   * Means of supporting collaboration and community interaction
   * Manufacturing
   * Distributed development and its relationship to physical goods
   * Digital fabrication (e.g. laser cutters and 3D printers)
   * Software design tools (CAD / CAM)
   * DIY technology
   * Ways to share information about hardware that’s not captured in
     source files
   * Business models
   * Manufacturing on demand
   * Competition and collaboration
   * Sustainability of open hardware products (e.g. how to unmake things)
   * Industrial design
   * “open-washing” (green washing for open source)
   * Open-hardware in the enterprise
   * Specific product domains: e.g. science, agriculture,
     communications, medicine

And any other topic you think relates to openness and hardware. We want
to hear all about it!


   Types of submissions

You may submit proposals for one or more of the following formats:


     Talk

   * Expected duration for talks is between 5 and 20 minutes, depending
     on the number and quality of submissions.
   * We expect all talks to be plenary (i.e. presented to the entire
     summit audience).
   * Talk submissions primarily containing marketing for a product will
     not be accepted. However, talks that share knowledge and insight
     derived from work on commercial products are welcome.


     Breakout session

   * Depending on submissions, there may be an opportunity to organize
     breakout sessions with smaller groups (5-40) to discuss a
     particular topic
   * We expect breakout sessions to occur during a single time-slot of
     approximately 1 to 2 hours.
   * Breakout session submissions should include an overview of the
     content and plan for the session.
   * You are encouraged to co-author breakout session submissions with
     other interested parties but sessions will be open to general
     summit attendees.


     Project Demo

   * This is a casual show and tell session that will take place during
     the end-of-day drinks.
   * You are encouraged to include pictures as part of your demo
     submissions.
   * Please include all demo requirements: amount and type of space
     (e.g. “one 3×3 foot table and one chair” or “a 5 × 5 section of
     wall with at least 10 feet in front of it”), power requirements
     (note: we cannot provide any power adaptors). Please keep in mind
     this is an informal project demo, and complex
     requirements/constraints (internet, light/sound conditions etc)
     will be difficult to accommodate.
   * It will be your responsibility to carry/assemble/set
     up/disassemble your demo. We cannot provide any support for the
     receiving, storing, or shipping of demos.
   * Note: If submitting a project demo, Your project MUST be working
     by the time of the summit.


   Submission format

   * Submissions should be formatted as plain text of no more than
     1,000 words in length and include ALLof the following:
   * The type of submission (talk, breakout session, or demo)
   * A title
   * A bio of the speaker(s) (That’s you!)
   * What you intend to talk about, the topic for your breakout
     session, or a description of your demo
   * An explanation the importance of your submission to the
     open-hardware community
   * A maximum of TWO photos that help explain your topic of submission
     (optional)

Submissions should be emailed to *proposals [AT] openhardwaresummit.org
<http://openhardwaresummit.org>* with the subject line “Open Hardware
Summit submission” followed by the type of submission in parentheses
(e.g. “Open Hardware Summit submission (breakout session)”). *Deadline
