[Open Design + Hardware] Products as Platforms, Workshop at DIS2014, 21-22 June 2014, Vancouver Canada

Thu Mar 20 22:04:23 UTC 2014

This sounds wonderful, Serena -- thank you for sharing it!

I am actually living in Vancouver again at the moment, and can vouch for
the location -- it is on the tip of a mountain with a view of the ocean...

Will definitely share around.

> *//Goal*The workshop aims to engage participants in an experimental
> process where they conceive interactive products/platforms, open source
> artifacts that users can modify or build upon thanks to an ecosystem of
> shared documentation, services and licenses. In particular, participants
> will focus on the definition of solutions for facilitating the

> practices and solutions. The workshop reflects on the integration of the
> human centered design approach with the open source culture and proposes a
> framework for guiding the process of designing innovative open source
> products.
> *//Structure*Through discussions and hands on activities supported by
> conceptual and design tools, participants will learn how to leverage the
> design opportunities offered by the open source ecosystem in order to
> define both concepts and high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototypes of
> innovative interactive products. More information about the program
