Russian Open-Source Hardware
/mini-conference/

The goal of the conference is twofold. First, we want to widely promote an idea of Open Hardware and make it as respected as F/OSS. Second, we want to foster a community of Russian Open Hardware enthusiasts to share experience, ideas and coordinate joint actions. We also want to facilitate integration of Russian Open Hardware developers into international community, kind of "break the wall".

Main part of the conference is in Russian, which includes a block of short talks about Open Hardware in general (15 min each) and a block of projects presentations (3-5 min each). We also plan to have a block of talks in English with speakers, participating over Skype (15 min each).

Online video broadcasting is planned and all talks will be recorded for later offline access.
