October comes fast! This year we are once again running Show & Tell, our 24hr Membership Drive Livestream! Mark your calendars because October 10th 8am to October 11th 8am we will be exploring open source hardware far and wide with a focus on delightfully sloppy, human-made prototypes 👁️
After two years of working closely with the Open Healthware community we are proud to launch the Open Healthware Certification process! This certification compliments our base process with a specialized look at source for open hardware health projects.
