Next week there will be an Open Source Hardware panel discussion at DESIGN West in San Jose, CA:
Open Source Hardware Panel Discussion
Session Code: ET-01
Location: Expo Theater
Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Time: 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
Track: Expo Theater
Are you interested in learning more about open source hardware, but skeptical that it has a place in the professional engineering world? The reality is that more and more engineers are discovering that OSHW can be an essential tool for quick prototyping, characterizing and testing peripherals, and beyond. Hear from some of the OSHW movement's leading personalities on where their products are being applied in the professional design world today and where it's all heading.
The panel is in the Expo Theater which is open to all with Expo passes. You can still register for a free expo pass.
The panel includes:
- Jason Kridner, TI / BeagleBoard.org
- Gert Van Loo, Broadcom / Raspberry Pi
- Chris Taylor, SparkFun
- Pierre Michael, Party Robotics
I noticed that EDN recently posted an interview with Chris Taylor titled: Community key to open-source hardware
I'm really looking forward to hearing the panelists' opinions on Open Source Hardware! Anyone else here planning to attend the event?
Cheers,
Drew
