[FOSDEM] [OT only slightly] STEAM Camp OpenSourceEcology 22jan2020 for 9 days

[Mark Van den Borre]

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

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.

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.

Can we discuss off-list(s)?
