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!

#Edinburgh #Klimakrise

"Die schottische Hauptstadt hat Werbung für Fluggesellschaften und SUVs sowie für Kreuzfahrtlinien und Öl- und Gasunternehmen verboten. Aktivisten bezeichnen dies als „historischen“ Schritt im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel."

This Scottish City Just Banned SUV And Airline Ads. Here’s Why

Advertisements for flights, gas-guzzling SUVS and cruises will no longer be permitted under a city ruling described as "historic" by campaigners.
