[Cad] Speaker Submission to OSHW, due July 1 by midnight (3.5 days from now)

[Nancy Ouyang]

Hello all,
Sorry for the long dormancy -- I'm back on top of things  and will be in
town and more active in September (I've accepted an offer to study for a
PhD at Harvard, working in CS/robotics).

Anyway, I was thinking of submitting a proposal to the Open Source Hardware
conference about the topics we've discussed so far. I don't have a clear
idea of what to say yet, though I do want to promote the ideas propelling
the forming of CAD-discuss, but I figure this would get me off my butt to
get around to organizing/doing a lot of the stuff we talked about last year.

I obviously found the knowledge and energy everyone in this group has
contributed invaluable, and am happy to not submit & let someone else from
the group submit on our behalf, if anyone is particularly excited about it
:) Please just let me know!

I'm happy to help flesh out the proposal, or just provide moral support, if
anyone else wants to speak on behalf of the group.

The call for speaker talks here:

There is an emphasis this year on CAD, which I think is exciting.

> Topics of interest for the summit include, but are not limited to
> Using, Building, and Growing Open Hardware:
>
>    - Digital fabrication and design tools (CAD / CAM)
>    - Business models that support open hardware.
>    - Sustainability of open hardware products (e.g. how to unmake things)
>    - On demand and low volume manufacturing
>    - Legal and intellectual property implications of open-source hardware
>    -
>
> Thank you,
--Nancy
