The very worst, most sexist and by far the rudest behaviour I've experienced in my career in tech has all been at #FOSS events and on FOSS mailing lists. Open hardware and open silicon communities are a breeze in comparison. Sort yourselves out, yeah? You're embarrassing the rest of us.

I'll be visiting #Edinburgh for the Open Hardware Summit in May 2025. I'm looking for some advice and local knowledge: - local hacker/social justice/arts/hardware folks or groups - ideas of spaces/factories/archives we could visit - is there anyone I know from the scottish consulate or Edinburgh hack lab here on mastodon? - I'd like to run a Hardware Happy Hour. Any tips for a large bar or a cool hacker adjacent space that would host us? Thank you!
