Subject: [sudo-members] Invitation to Attend OSHWA's Open Healthware Conference in New
York City!
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
