GOSH@10: On Governance & Belonging - Open Science Hardware Foundation

When Suleiman Abdulsalam first encountered GOSH in 2022, he brought with him unusual expertise in how communities govern themselves – how they make decisions together, distribute resources fairly, and maintain autonomy as they grow. He hadn’t come through the hardware side of open science, but that hardly mattered. It turns out Suleiman’s expertise was perfectly […]
