Email from Open Know-How Group:
Hi everyone,
Hope you all are having a fabulous week, this email is a reminder of our 2-hour working group call tomorrow starting at 2 BST on Zoom; I suggest each driver of the subgroups, to prepare some updates in advance.
In the meantime, Andres has share an exciting project that he would like to share with you and call for reviewing the Open Hardware Makers Curriculum.
About Open Hardware Makers Curriculum:
Together with two friends, André Chagas is running a new program on best practices for open source hardware (more details below).
We want to invite you to a community consultation on the curriculum of our open hardware mentorship program, “Open Hardware Makers”.
Open Hardware Makers is a 15-week, online mentorship program organized by @amchagas, @alex and @jarancio (Not all here, but all in the GOSH forum). It aims to support new hardware projects in their way of acquiring best practices, building welcoming and inclusive communities and connecting to existing networks.
After running a pilot cohort in 2020, we managed to get some support from Mozilla Foundation for a consultation process in order to improve the curriculum.
The consultation process is structured as follows:
Community consultation (10-27th July): we are officially asking for feedback on our curriculum from different open hardware communities Experts consultation: the organizers will incorporate community’s input and work on it with a diverse committee of experts (10-24th August) After this, the organizers will produce a final reviewed version of the curriculum and publish it in September. It will be openly available for anyone to fork, and we’ll have it translated into different languages.
We will review the curriculum in this document. You can make comments in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German or French. Deadline for comments is 27th July.
To launch the community consultation, we invite you to a short call next Friday 10th at 3pm UTC introducing what we’ll do and making ourselves available for any questions.
If you are interested, please sign up using this link or send me a message here, with your email info. Later this week we will send out the link to the online room we will be using.
If you’re not able to join don’t worry, we will also make the recording available in our YouTube channel. If you have any questions or comments feel free to ask Andres at andremaia.chagas@gmail.com, or directly to ohwmakers@gmail.com
Thanks Andres for sharing this exciting project with the community, please let me know if any of you have any projects coming up and would like to share with the community, we would be delighted to share for you.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
Best
Cecilia
