OHANDA + Fablab documentation
Description
OHANDA - Open Source Hardware and Design Alliance
Time: 16:00-16:45
What is FLOSH? Is there a legal share-a-like framewok? What are the common practices? Where are we heading? The panel will give insights from various perspectives and discuss about the future framing of Free/Libre Open Source Hardware and how we could further spread the idea and its values. Supporting material for the RE*CAMPAIGN can be found at http://www.ohanda.org/sites/default/files/RE_CAMPAIGN_promo.pdf. Presenters: Dannie Jost, Alison Powell and Juergen Neumann.
Fablab project documentation
Start time: 17:00
Fablabs require users to share their experience of how to work with machines and document the physical objects that they made in the labs. In practice sharing of this “making of” documentation has not happened to support meaningful project sharing across labs. This is becoming increasingly painful as the number of labs is rising more each year, and one-on-one connections are no longer scaleable for keeping up with advancements made in other labs. Realistic solutions to the situation will need to take into account the existing situation: live with the diversity, while making Fablab project documentation universally searchable and enabling information exchange.
This presentation will frame the issue; and a workshop will dig deeper into the problem and aim to provide preliminary solutions. Fablab documentation hackathon (21/09/2012, 16:00:00 h at MAKE meeting room 1). Presented by Anu Määttä, Aalto Media Factory, Finland.

Juergen Neumann is senior consultant for ICT strategy and implementation at http://www.econauten.de who has worked for major German and international companies and non-profit projects for more than two decades. In 2002 he co-founded http://www.freifunk.net, a non-profit campaign to spread knowledge about open wireless networks. In 2007 he started the Open Hardware Initiative which in 2008 organized the first Open Technology Summit in Taiwan. Recently he is trying to ramp up the Open Source Hardware and Design Aliance http://www.ohanda.org and is lobbying for more open licensing models for the radio spectrum at http://openspectrum.eu. Finally he co-founded http://freigeist.biz where he is exploring the obstacles of open innovation. http://www.junes.eu
Dannie Jost is Science Advisor and Senior Research Fellow at the World Trade Institute, University of Bern. She works in policy and regulation issues where science, technology and trade are involved. Her academic and philosophical interests are in self-organization and the dynamics of complex adaptive systems; trans-disciplinary research, in particular the consilience of law and science; intellectual property, innovation, development, sustainability and education. Dannie has also worked as: consultant for the Swiss Federal government; patent and technology expert for the Swiss Federal Institute for Intellectual Property; management consultant at JMW Consultants Inc; and research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. http://wti.org/people/jost/
Alison Powell is a Fellow in Media and Communications at the London School of Economics, researching digital media policy, politics and advocacy. Her research examines the role of hackers, activists and advocates on the structure, function, and policy environment of the Internet. Her PhD, awarded in 2008, focused on the cultural and policy contributions of community wireless networking to Canadian cities. She has recently given attention to internet governance issues such as net neutrality and the conflict between child safety and freedom of speech, while continuing to critically investigate the role of open source modes of production on the democratization of communication. http://www.alisonpowell.ca/ @a_b_powell
