[Discuss] Call for OSH arcticles on opensource.com

[Joshua]

Hi All

As some of you know Opensource.com has been branching out from its roots in
FOSS and now has a steady drum beat for open hardware.  The open call for
the May 2017 special issue will be on Hardware
<https://opensource.com/resources/editorial-calendar>

If you have any open hardware projects that you want to get the word out
about - please consider sharing on their platform. I just got access to see
their readership data and it is respectably large. For example, the last
article I posted on using an open hardware methodology to obliterate the
cost of consumer goods
<https://opensource.com/article/17/3/how-to-create-consumer-goods-open-hardware>
was read over 10k times in a week. Still not competitive with videos of a
cat flushing a toilet but not bad exposure...Hopefully the platfrom will be
of use to your projects.


*Details below:*

Article ideas:

What open hardware board or open source tool for hardware do you love?
What project(s) have you made with open hardware / open source software for
your hardware project?
X reasons to use open hardware today / why open hardware matters
How to get started with the X (open hardware board or open source tool for
hardware)
