OSHWA (Open Source Hardware Association)

The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) is an organization that promotes the development and sharing of hardware designs—like gadgets, tools, and electronic devices—that are openly available to the public. Their goal is to ensure these designs can be freely used, modified, and shared, encouraging innovation and collaboration. OSHWA provides standards, certification, and resources to help creators share their open hardware projects responsibly and reliably. Essentially, they support a community where hardware designs are accessible, fostering transparency, creativity, and collective progress in technology development.
