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.
