We’ve now confirmed the first speakers for Festival Day and we have to say, you’re in for a treat! Who are they? Well, we’re keeping our cards close to our chest for the time being and all will be revealed once we’ve confirmed a few more, so stay tuned further details.

Just a quick reminder also that the Open Source Hardware Camp call for participation has gone out and the closing date for talk and workshop proposals is 1^st May. So if you’d like to give a talk on a particular open source technology or something you built, else perhaps host a hands-on workshop, remember to get your proposal submitted in time.

Finally, we’re delighted to announce that for the third year running, ace hosting company and major supporters of open source, Bytemark, are sponsoring the festival. Without sponsors the festival simply would not be possible and so a huge thanks goes out to them for their support!
