The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) aims to foster technological knowledge and encourage research that is accessible, collaborative and respects user freedom. OSHWA’s primary activities include hosting the annual Open Hardware Summit and maintaining the Open Source Hardware certification, which allows the community to quickly identify and represent hardware that complies with the community definition of open source hardware.
The purposes and activities this organization aims to do are as follows:
Organize conferences and community events
Educate the general public about open source hardware and its socially beneficial uses.
Organize the open source hardware movement around shared values and principles.
Collect, compile and publish data on the Open Source Hardware movement.
Provide a painless way for creators to indicate that their products meet a standard for open-source compliance.
Some examples of OSHWA's recent activities include:
