Open source Medical Device Registration
Several years ago, at the start of the Open Voice Factory project, it became clear that we’d need to register the Open Voice Factory, or some part of it, as a medical device. It was publicised to, in the words of the relevant european directive ‘mitigate handicap’, and so it needed to be registered. There […]
Real Flexible Work
In an team with real flexible work you would be able to shut your laptop at any time without any guilt. There’s lots of reasons you might want to. Maybe you are sick. Maybe someone you care about is sick. Maybe you want to spend some time on your mental health and maybe someone has […]
The funding applications that made us a better charity (even when we didn’t get them)
People who manage funds that give money to social projects are, by definition, great people having to make hard choices about the best place to put money. It’s also important that people who manage funds keep to the lowest possible overhead. It takes money to keep applicants up to date and give feedback and we accept […]
Reviewers wanted for BATTLECRY
eQuality Time has a project we’ve been working on for some time. It’s an artistic project and we’ve submitted to the arts council. We’ve been rejected. Six times.

Open Source Medical Devices
The Open Voice Factory is an Open Source Medical Device, so when I saw a video called “Are We Ready for Open Source Medical Devices?” from Hackaday, I was interested. Althought Ashwin is much more hardware-focused than we are, but it’s worth watching the whole video, and my main highlights were: Ashwin gives a nod to […]
Cover story
The books of White Water Writers have some amazing covers. Here’s two of my favourites. These were make by artists from the same schools as the writers. I love getting great art because yet another student will see their work be part of something really real. Like the writers, the artists work best when they know […]
