> Some electronics books from the 50s claimed making triode tubes would be

> the technology, which was perceived as very complicated and expensive.
> Yet, someone successfully operated his homebrew receiver made from
> hundreds of that time's electronic parts.

> breaking security systems based on the obscurity of the silicon layout.
> Some are even devising DIY methods to replicate parts of the microchip
> manufacturing process, with impressive results.

> What are the frontiers of DIY technology? The first Exceptionally Hard &
> Soft Meeting (EHSM) will feature presentations of the brightest DIY
> achievements. But we do not want to stop at DIY. In fact, we should not,
> because teamwork is the only way to get the big things done.

> The open source ethos is about keeping the freedom and openness of DIY
> when many people are involved. At a time when thousands of developers
> from hundreds of companies contribute to Linux and the world's largest
> physics laboratories share openly licensed hardware designs on OHWR, we
> will explore the cutting-edge open source hardware and software
> practices.

> This premiere of the EHSM will be held in Berlin on December 28-30 2012.
> Everyone is welcome to attend it. Curiosity is enough to qualify, and
> we have kept the minimal entrance fee affordable. (Please order your
> ticket as soon as possible, see below)

> THEY ARE ALREADY COMING
> To give you an idea of what is coming up, we are pleased to announce
> that the following speakers will be presenting their awesome work:
> * Jeffrey Gough (warrantyvoidifremoved.com) will talk about and
>   demonstrate metalwork techniques. How to go beyond extruded ABS coming
>   from a 3D printer? There might even be a hands-on workshop coming up,
>   stay tuned.
> * Shawn Tan (aeste.my) has been working on a new open source
>   microprocessor design and will introduce it at EHSM.
> * Ben Krasnow (benkrasnow.blogspot.com) makes all sorts of seemingly
>   impossible science experiments at home, such as creating aerogel (yes,
>   that thing on spacecraft), Pop Rocks candy, or building a scanning
>   electron microscope. He will talk about a yet undisclosed but
>   promising topic.
> More speakers will be announced as we confirm them, check http://ehsm.eu
> for the latest information!

> FOR ACADEMIA
> While researchers are most welcome to present their work at EHSM, please
> note that this is not a traditional academic conference. We will not
> formally publish proceedings(*), and we do not claim affiliation with
> any institution. We are also OK with previously published work, we
> simply expect high-quality presentations.
>
> (*) Contrary to the practice of most academic publishers, we will,
> however, do our best to ensure the free dissemination of information.
