  "type": "Talk 40 (30min +10 Q&A)",
  "abstract": "After more than 7 years, a small team of hackers and designers in Berlin are about to release the third generation of their Open Hardware laptop family: MNT Reform Next. Here, Lukas \"minute\" Hartmann will discuss why we need Open Hardware computers, what we learned through trial, error and hardship of designing and hand-assembling over 1000 of them by hand, and how you can claw back some autonomy over your hardware from Big Computer.",
  "description": "The talk will illustrate, with many pictures and without holding back, interesting problems and solutions we encountered while creating 3 laptops on shoestring budgets.\r\nAiming to inspire more people to take custom hardware into their own hands, I will quickly walk through the essential tools and methods that you can use to create your own Open Source Hardware computing devices or modifying existing ones, like:\r\n  - How and why I choose chips and components\r\n  - How to get them into KiCAD for electronics, and get boards made\r\n  - Use FreeCAD and OpenSCAD for 3D modeling, and get enclosures made, also from unorthodox materials\r\n  - Cables, connectors and screws considerations\r\n  - Firmware and Kernel troubles (designing Hardware for Linux)\r\n  - Our basics of community participation (GitLab, IRC, Discourse)",
