Greetings to everyone at the end of the year! We wanted to share some quick opportunities for people who like Open Source stuff to get FUNDING and go to cool events that will (HOPEFULLY) happen in 2022!
We are so excited to announce that we are going to have the next Digital Naturalism Conference in July 2022, in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka with our friends at Dreamspace Academy!
Please share this with anyone who might be interested in joining us!
This is our own, homebrewed, experimental unconference where we basically just try to get people from many communities involved in science, technology, art, and design together in remote places to explore nature together.
APPLICATIONS OPEN NOW! (until end of january!) 2022.dinacon.org
Funding for HOSTING YOUR OWN EVENT!
Our friends at GOSH (Global Open Science Hardware) have an opportunity to apply for $3,000, $6000, or $10K to run an event yourself!
It just has to be about getting people to collaborate on Open-Source projects for science (including Scicomm, Sci-Art, community science!). For 10K you could run your own dinacon! Events can be in-person, virtual, or hybrid! Maybe you are already running a cool event along these lines
Application and details are all here: https://forum.openhardware.science/t/apply-here-for-goshs-2022-regional-events-funding-round-1/3290
Funding for Building Open Hardware for Science!
GOSH also has another set of funding coming up called the "Collaborative Development Grant" where you can apply to get money to take Open Hardware projects to the next level. The application isn't yet ready for this, but I wanted to give you a heads up that it is coming! Stay tuned in the GOSH forums for more info! https://forum.openhardware.science/
Global Open Science Hardware Gathering October 2022- PANAMA!
October 26-29 2022, City of Knowledge, Panama
We are still finalizing things, and don't even have the website up yet for this event, but I wanted to give you all a heads up that we are going to try to do the next GOSH Global Gathering in October. And it will most likely be held in Panama, across the street from the Canal (and down the road from Dinalab), in the City of Knowledge at the Fab Lab Eco Studio's cool facilities! Save the dates, and hopefully it all works out!
Open Hardware Summit - NYC April 22 2022
