-- Open Source Hardware Camp 2018 --

This year Open Source Hardware Camp will take place over the weekend of Saturday 30th June & Sunday 1st July, at the Blue Room, Lincoln, LN1 3BU.

We’re excited to be hosting OSHCamp for the first time ever in the historic county town of Lincoln — home to, amongst others, noted engine builders Ruston & Hornsby (now Siemens, via GEC and English Electric). Lincoln is well served by rail, reachable from Leeds and London within 2-2.5 hours, and 4-5 hours from Edinburgh and Southampton.

Proposals for talks and workshops for OSHCamp 2018 are invited!

There is no theme and topics may include, for example:

* Open source hardware projects * Open development practices and principles * Novel/interesting/fun projects built using open source hardware * Tools (hardware and software) * Skills and techniques, e.g. PCB fab, DIY SMT assembly * Relevant technologies, e.g. SPI/I2C bus programming * ...something else relevant to the community

If you would like to give a talk on the Saturday and/or run a workshop on the Sunday, please submit details via the form at:

Any questions can either be directed to the list or sent to andrew@abopen.com.

**** Note that the deadline for submitting titles and abstracts is Monday 25th March at 17:00. If you would like to discuss ideas etc. please get in touch sooner, rather than later. ****

A social is planned for the Saturday evening and details of accommodation nearby to the venue will be provided in due course.
