Notes

From Joshua Pearce, OSE Board Member, writer for Opensource.com.

Hi All

As some of you know Opensource.com has been branching out from its roots in FOSS and now has a steady drum beat for open hardware. The open call for the May 2017 special issue will be on Hardware - https://opensource.com/resources/editorial-calendar If you have any open hardware projects that you want to get the word out about - please consider sharing on their platform. I just got access to see their readership data and it is respectably large. For example, the last article I posted on using an open hardware methodology to obliterate the cost of consumer goods was read over 10k times in a week. https://opensource.com/article/17/3/how-to-create-consumer-goods-open-hardware

Still not competitive with videos of a cat flushing a toilet but not bad exposure...Hopefully the platfrom will be of use to your projects.

Details below:

Hardware Article ideas:

What open hardware board or open source tool for hardware do you love? What project(s) have you made with open hardware / open source software for your hardware project? X reasons to use open hardware today / why open hardware matters How to get started with the X (open hardware board or open source tool for hardware) Other ideas? Send story ideas to open@opensource.com or using our webform

Proposals due: March 13

Drafts due: April 3

Looks like a site dedicated to promoting open source organizations and tools, but I don't see OSE on the list of orgs. Are there minimum criteria?
