GOSH 2017 The Gathering for Open Science Hardware (GOSH) is a diverse, global community working to enhance the sharing of open, scientific technologies. GOSH met for the first time in Geneva, Switzerland in 2016. Fifty key people working in Open Science Hardware (OScH) discussed the key opportunities and barriers facing OScH, and articulated our shared values as a social movement. In 2017, we came together for the second time in Santiago at the Innovation Centre, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. This time, we included nearly 100 people. For GOSH 2017, organizers intentionally increased the diversity of participants to include the breadth of the open science hardware movement. Participants represented 30 different countries. 48% of invited participants were women or trans; 25% were people of colour; 55% were from low GDP countries (“the global south”); 34% were from NGOs or community groups; and 33% came from Latin America. Participants were scientists, artists, 1
lawyers, architects, community organizers, developers, teachers, and students. This diversity is crucial to a global movement, which became apparent in discussions and workshops-- the problems of OScH are different in different places for different people, and so ways forward are equally diverse. To support this diversity, GOSH organizers created a Code of Conduct based on respecting difference. In 2016, participants collaboratively produced the GOSH manifesto, a statement of our shared principles and values. This year, we used the manifesto to articulate a roadmap or compass to guide our social movement towards our shared goal of enhancing the sharing of open, scientific technologies. The Open Science Hardware movement contains many different groups and people with different--and even divergent-- points of view and ideas of how to move OScH forward. But we agree that it is important. GOSH exists to bring these differences together and synthesize them so that we can work collaboratively to achieve our shared goal of open scientific technologies becoming the norm in knowledge production, rather than the exception.
1 These demographics are of officially invited attendees only. They shifted as some people could not or did not attend, and some new people joined us through other routes.

Thursday unconferences (March 23)
1. Design
Synopsis: In this session we discussed around the questions: what design can contribute to OSH? And what can OSH contribute to design? It was a conversation between many methodologies of design (critical design, collaborative design, open design, co-design and speculative design) where design is viewed as a relationship that brings closer designer and user, that is empathetic, hackable and can be adapted to new questions, problems and contexts.
2. Biology-Life Sciences
Participants: Juan Pedro, Shingo, Ryan Hammond, Shneel, Fernando Castro, Juan, Juanma, Tobey, Bengt, Ryan Fobel, Lawrence, Andre, Jenny, Phil, Andrew, Pierre, Stacey, Eduardo, Mohanty, Alexis, Paloma. Synopsis: We discussed what challenges arise from the field of life sciences, biology, synthetic biology and microfluidics. We discussed how open hardware can, for example, solve the problem of non-reproducibility of scientific data (publications even in high impact journals like Nature or Science have low reproducibility). Another example is the potential of open hardware to “fix” the medical industry or biomedical research by supplying more reliable, affordable or distributed production of equipment or knowledge. Also, we discussed what kind of experiments we can perform without a biosafety level 1 lab, just in a kitchen. Furthermore, it was pointed out as a challenge to be able to produce scientific data that can join a scientific publication. Many participants were concerned that many workshops about science or microfluidics were just reduce to “playing” or tinkering. Finally, the role of art in communicating and teaching science was also valued by all participants.
3. Collaborative Development
Participants: David Bild (notes), Marina de Freitas, Séverine Cazaux, Thomas Hervé, Mboa Nkoudou, Dorn Cox, Coco Coyle, Tara Tiger Brown, Kaspar, Gayatri Buragohain, Akshai M, Rafael Pezzi, Greg Austic, Daniel Vicente Lühr Sierra, Shan He, Bethan Wolfenden, Mario Behling, Lena Asai, Jeffe van Holle Synopsis: In this session we tackle the question of how disparate people from disparate places can collaborate to develop a thing/technology for accordingly to local communities needs. We also discussed the main forms, issues, problems, methodologies and possibilities related to the collaborative development of software and hardware.

4. OSH Enabling education
Participants: David Bild, Julián Castro Bosisio, Jeffe Van Holle, Teon Brooks, Thomas Maillart, Tara Tiger Brown, Aakriti Thapa, Tobias Wenzel, Gustavo Pereyra Irujo, Jorge Appiah. Synopsis: We discussed how to facilitate learner-centered environments and we shared problems, tips and resources from our diverse experiences.
5. Inclusivity
Participants: Shneel, Tara, Paloma, Gayatri, Bethan, Shannon, Aakriti, David, Klie, Severine, Xiamyra, Juanma, Jenny Synopsis: This discussion looked at inclusivity in science and technology and specifically open science hardware. The conversation covered whether 'inclusive' is a good word to use as it implies a sense of other. If friends explicitly state 'oh, we'll include you', that does not feel welcoming. The conclusion of the discussion was that being welcoming, listening, visible, open and attempting to understand the community is the crux of working with people who, for example, don't feel they should have a view or opinion on a scientific topic, or who do not feel empowered to teach science. Whether bringing people in is always the right thing to do was also a consideration, it is difficult to differentiate between people who would like to engage with appropriate opportunities and those who just do not want to engage.
6. Performative Interactive Art
Participants: Shams , Julian, Eduardo, Leslie, Ryan, Freya, Daily, Fernan, Mariana, Alexis C Johnson, Anne Goldenberg. Synopsis: A discussion of the role of open hardware in art spurred on by two talking points: crypto Dance: a choreography trying to explain cryptography to lay people and DIY electronic music.
7. Open source in developing countries
Participants: Mohanty, Kshitiz, Roshan, Puneet, Jorge Appiah, Daniel Vicente Lühr Sierra Synopsis: This was a discussion on how open source hardware is used in developing countries and some of the problem faced with adoption of OS hardware vs proprietary options. Some adoption of os tech has been in response to prohibitive costs of closed hardware and software. This makes for sustainable usage and adoption. We discussed the different audiences to increase open source adoption: government, business, higher education. How do we get developing country to contribute their local knowledge from Indigenous solutions? What are the ethics of this?
Page 26
Page 27
8. Philosophy in practice
Participants: Alejandro Nadra, Rafael P., Fernando Castro, Thomas, Joel, Jeff W., Alexander, Juliana, Maria, Ellen, Phil, Max, Hagit, Lina, Laura Olalde, Andre. Synopsis: In this discussion we talked about the philosophies in regards to values and ethics embedded within OSH and science/technology. After discussing our own interests in the session, we posed questions that we would like to be answered. What are the strategies and tactics of making values explicit in open source hardware? Does a design object have inherent political values, or do the values come to the object in context? Can open science hardware mobilize public action? How design helps build publics? Given capitalism how do we keep openness? In which way do we think open hardware can change the world?
9. Agriculture and environmental data collection
Participants: André, Stacy K, Ali, Coco, Shannan H. Leonardo Sehn, Shan He, Nur Akbar Arufatullah, Mario Behling, Gustavo Pereyra Irujo, Andrew Thalor, Lawrence Nderu, Juan Keymer, Greg A., Dorn Cox, Kina Smith Synopsis: We discussed a variety of topics about data collection tools, sensor types, data formats and how to know what to measure. Our main action item was to create a collection of useful tools, not just a list of links, but actual short videos describing each tool in its use and design.
10. Promote tech OS
11. Visionary science Speculative fiction
12. Low-tech
Participants: Akbar Arafatullah, Roshan Kumar Karn, Shams Jaber, S.P. Mohanty, Juan P Maestre, Akhsai M., Yuenyong (Ake) Nilsiam, Laura Olalde, Julieta Arancio, Paz Bernaldo, Gina Letie, Rafael Pezzi, Coco Coyle, Alejandro Nadra, Lawrence Nderu, Kshitiz Khanal, Fernando Castro Synopsis: Traditional knowledge already exists, with more local context. what exactly is technology? Is does not have to be fancy and expensive the simpler the tool, the easier to maintain/repair/use? the word "low-tech" doesn’t make sense. (usually differentiating based on the first look of the tool) As long as something solves a problem efficiently. which is the minimal technology that solves a problem? Is the technology appropriate for a community?
13. Upscaling
Page 28
Page 29
14. Legal Aspects and Policies of OSciH
Participants: Gustavo Pereya Irujo, Leonardo Sahn Alves, Frayja van den Boom, Thomas Haerve Mboa Nkoudou, Joel Murphy, Phillip Ross, Kina Smith, Daniel Vicente Lühr Sierra, Tarunima Prabhakar, Byron Tarabata, Max Liborion, Shannon, Daily Synopsis: At this session we shared some general information and concerns about patents and copyright. The international differences in legal frames regarding patent and licences were exposed. Then we suggested some alternatives and different pathways in hardware development to keep their results open and avoid patents.
15. Citizen science
Participants: Leonardo Sehn, Laura Olalde, Tarunima Prabhakar, Shannon Dosemagen, Hagit Keysar, Klie Kliebert, Lawrence Nderu, Jeffe Van H, Gina Leite, Juan P Maestre, Fernando Castro, Hamilton Mestizo, Mohanty, Nur Akbar Arofatullah, Thomas Hervé Mboa Nkoudou, David Bild, Max Liboiron Synopsis: We had a discussion around several questions related to the engagement of citizens and communities in the construction of scientific knowledge. We made a distinction between citizen science, community science, civic science and participatory monitoring. We analyzed the difficulties in align scientific community, NGO, and community interests and the approach used to engaged to/in/with communities and we tried to clarify which are the incentives/motivations for their participation.
16. Documentation
Participants: Jeffrey Warren, Yuenyong Nilsiam, Tobias Wenzel, Dorn Cox, Rafael Peretti Pezzi, Laura Olalde, Gustavo Pereyra Irujo. Synopsis: Documentation is often the real "source code" of open hardware in that it is required for an open source hardware project to be built and rebuilt. We shared some experiences and platforms to document OSH and tackled some general questions about ways to do version control, improve feedback and attribution in replication and how increase participation/appropriation.
17. Business models
Participants: Shams, Pierre, Joel, Bethan, Fernan, Shingo, Jorge, Maria, Ali, Greg, Ryan, Tara. Synopsis: We shared our business models experiences and ideas. We discussed and analyzed main issues and difficulties around funding, value propositions, manufacturing, scaling up and organization models. Finally we shared some resources about case studies of businesses that have reached sustainability.
Page 30
Page 31
18. Standards
Participants: Daniel Vicente Lühr Sierra and more Synopsis: Standards are primarily ways of ensuring that hardware is safe, accurate, compatible, and follows best practice. There are already standards, both technical and legal, for any hardware product that's sold (e.g. CE mark, RFI standards) and also for scientific hardware (e.g. centrifuge standards). Sometimes we're legally required to comply (when selling products) and sometimes it's a good idea but not necessary. How can we support each other as a community to meet relevant standards? Also, some standards are voluntary, and could even be created by us - do we need GOSH standards (or a GOSH standards group), or would this be a barrier to openness?

Documentation and Sharing with Tobey (Tobias Wenzel)
Participants: Marc, Richard, Kina, Ali, Bengt, Daniel, Shams, Bethan, Kshitiz, Gustavo Pereyra Irujo, Fernando Castro, Marina de Freitas, Veyron, Doran, Laura Summary: All participants shared why they were interested in documentation and sharing session and shared their past experiences with documentation. Participants read, added comments, and discussed over an already prepared collaborative document, which had headings on hardware documentation, making hardware open, requirements of open hardware documentation, sharing open source hardware, and some personal tips on open hardware documentation.
Design Skills with Maria
Business Model Canvas with Tara and Greg
Participants: Shingo Hisakana, André M. Chagas, Thomas Maillart, Leonardo, Tarumina, Alexis C. Johnson, Yuenyoung (Ake) Nilsian, Rafael Pezzi, Nur Akbar Arofatullah, Jorge Appiah Overview of topic: Hands on workshop on drafting business models. Discussion on the elements of the Business model canvas (template) adapted for open source business from Strategyzer.com.
Anti-capitalist Tactics/Strategies
Attendees: Kaspar, Andrew Thaler, Shneel, Stacey K, Klie Kliebert, Thomas Mboa, Coco Coyle, Juan P Maestre, Max Liboiron, Freyja, Ryan, Ellen Foster, Lena Asai, Eduardo Overview of topic: In this session we first talked about why we do not like capitalism, and then tactics, strategies and mechanisms we have done, heard of, or seen that cultivate a subversion of capitalism -- with the hope to bring them into our own practices. Discussions of issues around patent law and struggling to keep things open was raised. Some very important critiques and different viewpoints on how we define, engage, and are affected by capitalism were brought up in regards to the non-Western context -- and the conversation ended on this note and the need to focus on social needs and community engagement.
Contextualising OSH: lessons from the global south
Overview of topic: We discussed issues around the way technology, particularly open technology, gets to the global south. The ideas of OSH as a "common", cognitive justice, science shops, cultural appropriation of technology, and how we can make technology easy to appropriate.

Build Your Own Waterscope Microscope with Richard
Attendees: Gina Leite, Gustavo Pereyra Irujo, Hamilton Mestizo, Juan Pedro Maestre, Paz Bernaldo, Yuliana Rodríguez. There is a video of this section: https://vimeo.com/213341233, made by Paz, and a post in the forum.openhardware.science (only this documentation available) https://github.com/rwb27/openflexure_microscope/releases/tag/v5.16.10-beta
DIY-CAD design with Marc
Attendees: Shan He, Akshai, David, Aakriti, Tara, Andrew, Alexis, Kshitiz Bar Session 23.3.2017: Richard, Paz, Puneet, Juan P. Maestre, Ryan & others Overview of topic: We have been testing the new workshop that i developed for GOSH, called diy-CAD (do-it-yourself Children Aided Design), specifically for the Gär Lämpli project (fermentation lamp). The core idea of the workshop-kit is tool for creative designs of printed circuit boards, introducing basic concepts of Open Hardware being something to re-design for your own use. Going from an open/shared schematic and bill of materials to a manufacturable board, using SMD (surface mount devices) components. The design tool is mostly pen and paper, where the footprint of the parts are scaled 400% and can be freely rearranged, and then a copper layer can be painted to draw the functional board design by hand.
Feminist Meetup
Attendees: Max, Bethan, Gayatri, Klie, Jenny, Severine, Goldjian, Coco, Freyja, Ryan, Alexis, Jeff, Lena, Shneel
Overview of topic: A meeting of feminists that mainly discussed the following topics:
● Surviving work (and non-feminist spaces) ● Joining up in networks for support & how do we keep up a connection after GOSH ● How do we talk to people about feminism? ● Going deeper and looking at feminist ways of doing science, technology ● Creating spaces that embody feminist spaces: online networks, physical meetings
Hands-on DocuBricks documentation with Tobey (Tobias Wenzel)
Attendees: Shingo, Yuenyong, Mariana, (3 others), Tobias (later individually with Kaspar, Fernan, and Roberto)
Overview: The modular hardware documentation structure of DocuBricks was explained, while everyone downloaded the editor software. The group explored how to add authors, parts in the Bill of Materials (with optional manufacturing instructions), how to add sub-bricks and parts to the content of bricks, and how to add instructions, images, videos, design files and code. It was tested how the editor saves the XML structure, how downloaded projects can be reopened and modified, and how uploaded projects get

rendered online. The session then continues in a range of individual discussions on where to use, connect to, and extend the documentation tool.
Embedded Politics and Value in Technology with Jeff Warren
Attendees: Rafael P., Fernando Castro, Thomas, Joel, Jeff W., Alexander, Juliana, Maria, Ellen, Phil, Hagit, Lina, Laura, Andre
Overview of topic: In this discussion we talked about the philosophies in regards to values and ethics embedded within OSH and science/technology. After discussing our own interests in the session, we posed questions that we would like to be answered. We tackled the first question, but then run out of time for discussing, so are hoping to continue the discussion in person and through an online forum.

GOSH 2017 roadmap: Making OScH ubiquitous by 2025 The GOSH roadmap is a guiding document to help organize the GOSH and other OScH communities to achieve the goal of making OScH ubiquitous by 2025. Using the roadmap, we intend to: change the norms within established, institutional science so researchers openly share knowledge and technology; so research can happen in or out of the academy, in or out of the lab, in or out of commercial spaces; and so enable science to take place where it would not usually happen. The roadmap has several sections that outline areas of intervention to make this happen:
1. Supporting the Open Science Hardware Community 2. Growing the Open Science Hardware Community 3. Moving traditional developers towards Open Science Hardware 4. Supporting Open Science Hardware Projects in all their Parts 5. Education, Training & Learning 6. Research to support Open Science Hardware 7. Institutional Support 8. Funding 9. Impacts & Seeing Success
Roadmap Process The Roadmap began during GOSH 2016, when we summarized the main discussions of spontaneous unconference sessions to support the GOSH manifesto (http://openhardware.science/gosh-manifesto/). This text, in turn, became the foundation for a three day workshop at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, focused on crafting the roadmap. The outline above, as well as some of the points within it, emerged at this meeting. At GOSH 2017 in Santiago, we put the nine sections on whiteboards, as well as a section about our shared values, our community members, and those we impact (stakeholders), and invited all participants to flesh out the sections. First, we collectively outlined and prioritized our main values--46 in all, with openness, sharing, respect for different knowledges, transparency, and sustainability being our most prevalent shared values. Then, people added their ideas, resources, and questions to each of the nine sections. Finally, we choose which aspects of the roadmap each person would work on; some would steward the process, others would write and translate, and still others would take on smaller project within the framework to bring the framework into action.

GOSH Code of Conduct The Gathering for Open Science Hardware (GOSH) is a diverse, global community working to enhance the sharing of open, scientific technologies.
We strive to make open science hardware open to everybody, regardless of scholarly or professional background, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, economic background, country of origin or employment, religion, and other differences. Because we come from different backgrounds, it is important to be intentional about providing respectful, equitable spaces — both online and in person — for our community to come together and engage in constructive, respectful discourse. As our manifesto states: GOSH is used for peaceful purposes and causes no harm.
GOSH is equitable. Equity is different than equality; equality is about treating everyone exactly the same, while equity recognizes that everyone does not start from the same position and so treating everyone the same may leave them in the same uneven positions they began in. For this reason, we are intentional about actively reducing the inequitable barriers that stand between science and those who create, use, and learn from it.
This code of conduct applies to all GOSH spaces, both online and in person.
While we operate under the assumption that all people involved with GOSH subscribe to the GOSH Manifesto and the values laid out above, we take Code of Conduct violations very seriously. Therefore, individuals who violate this Code may affect their ability to participate in GOSH, ranging from temporarily being placed into online moderation to, as a last resort, expulsion from the community or in-person events. If you have any questions about our commitment to this framework and/or if you are unsure about any aspects of it, email [email protected] and we will provide clarification.
How It Works
This Code is an effort to maintain a respectful space for everyone and to discuss what might happen if that space is compromised. Please see the guidelines below for community behavior at GOSH 2017 in Santiago.
We listen.
We begin interactions by acknowledging that we are part of a community with complementary goals. When something has happened and someone is uncomfortable, our first choice is to work through it through discussion. We listen to each other.
● For active listening, we ask questions first, instead of making statements.
Page 45
● We give people time and space to respond.
● We appropriately adjust our behavior when asked to.
● We know that repeating hurtful behavior after it has been addressed is
disrespectful.
● We avoid this ourselves and help others identify when they are doing it.
We practice consent.
At in-person gatherings, everyone’s physical space must be respected at all times. We do not touch other people without asking first — this includes physical greetings such as hugs, handshakes, or kisses, since not everyone is comfortable with the same type of touch.
● Ask first.
● We respect everyone else’s right to walk away at any time.
● If you see or experience a violation of consent at GOSH 2017.
Note that many forms of harassment do not look like physical or verbal abuse, but still fall into this category. Non-consent can include exhibiting sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, photography or recording without permission, sustained disruption of talks or conversations, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Additional guidelines for online community behavior
Online modes of interaction involve large numbers of people without the helpful presence of visual cues. Because of this, respectful and self-aware online conduct is especially important and difficult. In addition to the Code, which remains in play in online spaces, our community has created specific guidelines for online interactions. If someone violates these guidelines, someone from the Moderators group (currently GOSH organizers and the Safety Officer, though this will evolve) will place them into moderation by changing that person’s posting permission on the relevant list or forum, on the website, or both. Our triple notification standard for moderation means a point person from the Moderators group will 1) email the person directly with a brief explanation of what was violated, 2) send a summary email to the rest of the moderators group, 3) if it happened on a public list (vs a website), notify the list that one of our members has been placed into moderation with a brief explanation of what is not tolerated.
Page 46
If you wish to begin the process of getting out of moderation, respond to the email sent to you from [email protected].
Media Consent
● There will be a media release for GOSH 2017. If you do not wish to be
photographed or sign the release, you are responsible for placing stickers on your
nametags, and/or raising your hand in the moment to alert photographers to
move you out of frame. We are happy to accommodate you.
● If you are taking a photograph, let people in the room know.
● Always check with parents about posting anything with minors, and never post
the name of a minor in conjunction with their photograph.
How To Report A Problem during GOSH 2017
In Person — Safety Officer: If at any time you experience or witness something that you are not comfortable with and that you feel may be a violation of our GOSH Code, you may contact the Safety Officer for support or guidance either in person, via email, or via our anonymous reporting app. For GOSH 2017, this person was Klie Kliebert. You can also approach a member of the organizing team: Shannon Dosemagen, Jenny Molloy, Max Liboiron, Fernán Federici Noe, and Greg Austic.
Via email — GOSH Organizers: If you experience or witness something and would prefer to email, email Klie Kliebert at [email protected]. You can also email the organizers at [email protected]. Before, during, and after GOSH, the organizers will be checking this email.
Confidentially via online form: To submit a report anonymously for review by the Safety Officer, go online via phone or computer to our anonymous “contact” survey, located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CKBG7FP. This contact form will be monitored throughout the day (at least twice daily) during GOSH 2017. For inquiries before and after GOSH 2017, please email [email protected].
Reporting should never be done via social media.
Consequences
● Anyone requested to stop behavior that violates the Code of Conduct is expected
to comply immediately, even if they disagree with the request.
Page 47
● The Safety Officer or GOSH organizers may take any action deemed necessary
and appropriate, including immediate removal from the meeting without warning.
● The organizers reserve the right to prohibit attendance at any future meeting. This Code of Conduct was created collaboratively, facilitated by Klie Kliebert and Max Liboiron, and drew from other CoCs, including those by Public Lab, International Congress of Marine Conservation 2016, and TransH4CK.

GOSH Mentions in External Reports and Conference Presentations
1. Digital Social Innovation Toolkit
Two projects from members of the GOSH community were selected as part of six case studies from the European Commission-funded Digital Social Innovation Toolkit. The GOSH Manifesto was cited as a source for best practice in design of open science hardware and used as an explanatory factor for their inclusion as examples of digital social innovation.
2. Sage Assembly 2017: Mapping Open Research Ecosystems
The GOSH Manifesto was cited as a positive example of embedding values and ethics into design in a participatory science community by Eleonore Pauwels (Commons Lab, Woodrow Wilson Center) in her introductory remarks during the Ethics and Ecosystems panel.
