Hi Sudo Room folks! I'm reaching out on behalf of the Open Source Hardware Association <http://www.oshwa.org/> to invite you to our upcoming Open Source Healthware Conference <https://healthware.oshwa.org/> taking place August 1&2, in New York City and online. I recently attended an event at Sudo Room and loved the space and people working there together. I thought this invitation might align with the work you all do. The goal of the conference is to share how people are using and developing open source technology in the medical and health field. It is the first event of this kind we are running and we would love to have you and your ideas present. We are currently having a call for speakers <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BOHmQ6A0VacOBBc_j4wUIYqUaqB2TM3rL0ItqySO7Nw/preview> open until June 23 if you are interested in both attending *and *sharing your work! To attend, you can reserve free tickets to the conference here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-healthware-conference-tickets-1315137594949> and are welcome and encouraged to share the event within your networks. For the past year OSHWA has been hosting strategy session workshops on the Open Healthware ecosystem in order to identify challenges and opportunities. We are hoping to work with the community to design a process to certify open source hardware in the medical field. If you're interested in attending these sessions prior to the conference, you can find out more here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDa4gpVXZ5EAelwR0cxqFzhIPcV0wGN7G4ywQkvFrwF1x4sA/viewform> or in the attached fliers. *If you need travel assistance for the conference**, you can apply for up to $1000 in flight reimbursements, hotel accommodations, and per diem expenses. You can apply for these travel funding **here* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe_AT4RNUc9vZ-RU_BXhosoFnCHtETuo2PcHASPmNsdKFUukA/viewform> *. * Check out our website at healthware.oshwa.org for more info!
