Three days, two open hardware events, one location: Open Hardware Summit and Maker Faire: NYC

If you're interested in open hardware, you should point yourself towards New York next month. Registration has opened for the second Open Hardware Summit, to be held September 15. Conveniently, this again will take place two days before Maker Faire: NYC. Both will be in the New York Hall of Science. What more could an open hardware lover ask for?...

...The one-day Open Hardware Summit was founded by Alicia Gibb of Bug Labs, and engineer/artist Ayah Bdeir. You may recall this past February's success, following last year's Open Hardware Summit, of the release of the first version of the Open Hardware Definition. Last month, CERN turned this into an Open Hardware License.

For the first OHS, 350 people gathered to discuss how to get open hardware to market as well as to talk about the problems around design, protocols, and licensing.
