Dear all,<br>
<br>
As we announced earlier this year [1], Hardware Freedom Day [2] will
be celebrated on March 15th this year. While we did a soft launch
about 3 weeks ago (still had some details to iron out) we are please
to officially launch this week.<br>
<br>
Note that besides the celebration related to Education Freedom [3]
earlier this year, we believe education is a big topic among
hackerspaces as we have seen on this list, be it to educate the
younger crowd or just for us the "older bunch" who love to learn new
things everyday. While a lot of the major Open Hardware projects
already have quite a lot of documentation on the topic, some quite
interesting approaches use either physical data to convey the notion
of programming to kids, or insert a simulation layer to make the
technology more accessible to the younger audience (like Etoys and
physical Etoys).<br>
<br>
Anyway the event is really about reaching out about Open Source
Hardware, your hackerspace and all the associated topics and we hope
that this event will add significant value to what you are doing
already! Current registered events can be found here at

<br>
Of course you can contact us either by replying here, or on our
mailing list [4].<br>
<br>
All the best and happy HFD!<br>
<br>
