Hello Marcin, All calls for participation have been finished long time ago. FOSDEM is full to the brim, including spare slots. With your fringe application, you applied for some exposure on the fosdem.org website as an event roughly in a space similar to FOSDEM. I don't think it's realistic to go beyond that right now... Kind regards, Mark Op di 31 dec. 2019 om 10:30 schreef Marcin Jakubowski <marcin@opensourceecology.org>:

Thanks, Mark and Luke,

Posted at The Fringe - thanks for the intro. The dates are January 25 - February 2, 2020.

It would be interesting to see how this could work. As our instructor will be tied up at the actual Open Source Microfactory event venue in Ghent - not sure how we can send somebody to the FOSDEM location. The way it works is that you get the Dev Kit and do all the builds along the way. I could see remote participation where people at the FOSDEM site get kits and collaborate with us over video.

But please look at the details on the website - https://www.opensourceecology.org/steam-camp-january-2020/ - we are actively seeking instructors to run the Micofactory events in multiple locations - so that we leverage the promise of true and open collaborative design for real products. So if anyone is in the slight know of open hardware - or wants to actually learn it and then teach it - this is a great chance to get involves as an instructor. We all collaborate on teaching each other. And maybe next time I can speak at FOSDEM, would love to get more poeple into the open hardware. I'll be running the event in Texas this time - 3 locations are happening simulataneously.

Thanks, Marcin

Hello Luke, Marcin, Alasdair, lists,

IMHO, the realistic option is https://www.fosdem.org/2020/fringe/ . Apply for a spot on that list through https://submission.fosdem.org/submission/fringe .

Kind regards,

Mark FOSDEM vzw

apologies for the cross-list post, the topic is very likely to be of direct or indirect interest, please do share elsewhere, however for questions please do reach out directly to Marcin from OSE rather than crosspost replies!

the OpenSourceEcology Project is running a hands-on real-time collaboration and training course for 9 days that happens to have one of its camps in Ghent, Belgium, only around an hour by train away from FOSDEM and running up to overlap with FOSDEM only on its last 2 days, Feb 1st and 2nd, 2020.

Marcin's Ted Talk is here: https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski_open_sourced_blueprints_for_civi...

it is the beginning of a practical real-world bootstrap process for a modern civilisation and actually uses and puts into use everything that we love about FOSS and FOSH.

participants will get to actually *make* a 3D Printer, a CNC milling machine, then use those to fabricate an Arduino PCB which... you get the idea. a battery operated welder will also be one of the hands-on projects.

Alasdair, an idea just occurred to me: can we discuss privately, they are doing "remote" collaboration: is there room / time for OSE to book a workshop by remote link, for two reasons: one in case FOSDEM attendees are interested to see what is going on, but secondly, if anyone who attends STEAM would like to keep in touch whilst attending FOSDEM? Can we discuss off-list(s)?

best,

l.
