Join OSHWA this Wednesday, April 22nd, for a live virtual talk:

Open Source Nostalgia

Speaker: Libi Rose Striegl

Using open source projects to enable modern use of retro-tech is a
foundational part of my art practice. Open source practices are a
central part of my teaching. This forms a base for art and teaching
around technology that is empowering and joyful while still coming
from a place of critical learning.

The talk will be streamed live on OSHWA’s YouTube channel.

To join the discussion, visit the #oshwtalks channel on the OSHWA Discord server.

What could you do?

  • make a press release and spread this around your (local) newspapers, websites etc. (include nice hires pic with people on it)
  • explain the word ‘hacker’ and maker (some people have still a negative / criminal interpretation of hackers)
  • show people around your space and explain what a hackerspace is.
  • give an workshop eg soldering, programming, arduino
  • give a ‘lecture’ about privacy, IoT (and lack of security), open source software.
