One of my favorite orgs that doesn't get enough attention is glia, which maintains a GitHub org filled with open source medical devices such as this stethoscope or this otoscope. All their projects are all licensed under the TAPR Open Hardware License. This is in addition to their actual sending of doctors and medical staff to war zones and underprivileged areas.

You can donate to them directly here:

Or you can sign up as a Patreon member here:

GliaGliaGlia is a medical solidarity organization that empowers low-resource communities to build sustainable, locally-driven healthcare projects.

This project is hardcore! #OpenSource, #hardware, #firmware and #software. You can buy pre-flashed hardware.

The catch? It's not clear what components to buy or why, and the setup process is so difficult, it's effectively your new hobby.

I expect it'll get better as out gets more popular and more people contribute to the documentation.

🔍 First Look at the Bare Liberux Nexx PCBs 🔍

Our redesigned prototypes have arrived completely bare! These are the raw PCBs, fresh from manufacturing, before any components are assembled.

It’s been a long wait, but they’re finally in the hands of our assembler! Now, we’re excited for the next step: having them fully assembled in our hands. 🛠️✨

Stay tuned for more updates as we bring Liberux Nexx to life! 🚀

PineNote Week Two mini-update. I'm just using the device now. It doesn't feel like a shiny new device anymore (post honeymoon) but I'm still enamored (to stretch the metaphor). I have been using it as a reading and writing device for the most part, single function at a time, and I'm quite happy with it.

I'm not really doing any application switching and using it as a full-Linux device (which it is)... BUT, I'm going away on a 5 day trip and considering just taking the PineNote (with a wireless keyboard) instead of a laptop. Maybe I should and report on that experience!? Bottom-line, that thought doesn't make me nervous (I'll get it on my Tailscale network and leave it without a lock-screen maybe? Taking suggestions!)

If you haven't seen the PineNote overview and rough edges videos, they still hold true after two weeks of usage. I don't generally worry about charging it day to day, aside from that still no other thoughts on battery yet.

​The Tech Pizza Monday meetup yesterday was so successful that we’re doing it again, you guessed it, next Monday! Come for the pizza and stay for the tech discussions. Got an open hardware demo? Cool! Those are the best! The more you believe in free and open software and hardware in service of a free and open society, the more you’re welcome to join us. The location is Victory Cafe, 440 Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON. The start time is 6 PM.

RSVP is not required, or even encouraged, frankly. But we definitely it when you do. We will ask to indulge is by checking you in with the Luma QR code, if only because we enjoy scanning QR codes. #Toronto #tech #pizza #OpenHardware lu.ma/hgja54m1

🔧 Update on Liberux Nexx Prototypes 🔧

After a major delay due to the Chinese New Year and an issue in production, we had to look for a new manufacturer for our prototypes. Fortunately, we found a company in Spain that will take over the production. 🚀

In the meantime, we took the opportunity to make some redesigns to the board. The new prototypes will arrive in the coming days, and we’re excited to share more updates soon.

Cheers! ❤️
