The LinuxCNC project is trotting along. And I believe this great software system for numerical control of machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, cutting machines, robots and hexapods, would do even better with more in-person developer gatherings, so we plan to organise such gathering this summer too.
This year we would like to invite to a small LinuxCNC and free software fabrication workshop/gathering in Norway this summer for the weekend starting July 4th 2025. New this year is the slightly larger scope, and we invite people also outside the LinuxCNC community to join. As earlier, we suggest to organize it as an unconference, where the participants create the program upon arrival.
The location is a metal workshop 15 minutes drive away from to the Gardermoen airport (OSL), where there is a lot of space and a hotel only 5 minutes away by car. We plan to fire up the barbeque in the evenings.
Please let us know if you would like to join. We track the list of participants on a simple pad, please add yourself there if you are interested in joining.
The NUUG Foundation has on our request offered to handle any money involved with this gathering, in other words holding any sponsor funds and paying any bills. NUUG Foundation is a spinnoff from the NUUG member organisation here in Norway with long ties to the free software and open standards communities.
As usual we hope to find sponsors to pay for food, lodging and travel.
