I’m pleased to report with all of your help out there that the Open Hardware summit reached it’s sponsorship goal, thank you! Be advised, printed materials for the Open Hardware Summit have gone to the presses! If you choose to sponsor your logo will only appear online.
One of the topics that I think will come up at the Open Hardware Summit will be the latest crop of “Arduino-Compatibles” – some add features, others are just straight up clones. Open-source hardware allows you to build on top of projects like the Arduino and even make a business around it…
Microchip working within the OSHW community…
Upwards of $2000 will be awarded. The scholarship is made available by the generous individuals and sponsors who have made the Open Hardware Summit possible.
Folks, the Open Source Hardware Summit still needs some sponsor support. ANY ONE can sponsor the summit and every bit counts. If you enjoy the wonderful world of open source software and hardware PLEASE considering supporting the summit!
…”I think it’s great to see Microchip coming in to the open-source hardware world and I’m really looking forward to them addressing some of the issues Ian outlined.”
