Back by popular demand from a really awesome open source hardware community, and people like you, the Open Hardware Summit is back for more! Check out the extraordinary lineup of speakers this year, featuring some of the biggest game-changers in Open Hardware history. We also hear you can purchase your tickets here: http://ohs2011-eorg.
The DIYLILCNC team are hard at work on their next release of the friendliest, cutest, sturdiest lil’ open-source CNC mill the world has ever known. And you can help! They’ve started a kickstarter to finance further development of the DIYLILCNC. For just a few bucks, you can have the smug satisfaction of having furthered the cause of open-source hardware hacking– and just in time for the Open Hardware Summit, too!
Check out their video and lend a hand. After all, when you’re tired of low-cost, automated machining tools, you’re tired of life.
This Sunday you can learn to use our Epilog 35 watt laser to rapid prototype that idea you’ve been kicking around. If you’ve got a project, a plan, or if you just want to make an enclosure for your arduino, Astrida will walk you through the steps A-Z. This hands-on class will introduce you to laser cutting, materials, and file preparation.

We have a few slots left in Saturday’s Intro to HTML/CSS class. You’ll be in good hands with professor Alexis, who has vast experience serving the demands of corporate clients. Although she’s got the chops to code for the big dogs, she’ll give you what you need in an easy-to-understand workshop. You’ll be able to make a website with style when you’re done.

Sponsorship for the Open Hardware Summit is open! Special thanks to our sponsors who have already donated.
The summit is in its second iteration in partnership with MAKE and Makerfaire at the New York Hall of Science. Last year, 350 people came together to share knowledge about bringing open hardware to market, solving issues around open design, protocols and licensing. Many more people watched online and got involved in the conversation through the forums and twitter. Together with support from you, we have gained more momentum as a team. The definition we signed last year was turned into a license by CERN. We held a logo competition which received 129 submissions and chose one by popular vote. The summit continues to be about the DIY, Maker, small scale (and growing to large) fabrication movements and Open Hardware, and legalese around open source hardware.
By sponsoring the Open Hardware Summit you’ll be fostering the open source hardware movement. Read more about Why to Sponsor.
This is a non-profit event. Extra funds from sponsorship will be put toward a scholarship for creating open hardware.
Would you like to Sponsor?
Your donation is tax deductible. Thanks to Eyebeam Art and Technology center, our non-profit fiscal sponsor for handling the finances.
There are a few spots left in our Introduction to Programming. Taught by our very own Kellbot!
Learn basic programming concepts in this introductory class. This class is aimed at people who have never programmed before, and we’ll start by learning our way around Python. We’ll cover data types, control flow statements, and a few common libraries used to write programs.
