Hello! I am emailing you today to invite you all to attend the 2025 Open Hardware Summit, May 30-31 in Edinburgh, Scotland. This year we are excited to have two days of presentations, panels, as well as a range of hands-on workshops. *Please share this message with anyone you think would be interested, from artists, scientists, scholars, and business owners, to makers and DIYers! *We encourage anybody who is interested in sharing or open source technologies to attend, regardless of whether you are experienced or new to the field. We have open tables and exhibition space for any project you'd like to bring and share, as well as hackable badges! We ask for your help to share this event throughout the community to reach the right people. The Open Hardware Summit is a comprehensive conference on open hardware; a venue and community in which we discuss and draw attention to the rapidly growing Open Source Hardware movement inclusive of industry, academia, the arts and maker communities. If you’re aligned with the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) or maker movements, you have probably leveraged sharing in the same way open source hardware does. Open source hardware is hardware whose design is made publicly available so that anyone can study, modify, distribute, make, and sell the design or hardware based on that design. Open hardware is used in industry, academia and for humanitarian purposes. All of these topics are present at the annual Open Hardware Summit.
