The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) is dedicated to promoting accessible and collaborative technological knowledge while respecting user freedom. OSHWA's main activities include hosting the annual Open Hardware Summit and managing the Open Source Hardware certification, which allows the community to identify and represent hardware that aligns with the open-source hardware definition. The organization aims to accomplish several goals, including organizing conferences and community events, educating the public about open-source hardware, fostering the movement's shared values, and collecting and publishing data on the Open Source Hardware movement.

Additionally, OSHWA provides a seamless way for creators to indicate that their products meet open-source compliance standards. OSHWA extends its gratitude to Kelly Maguire, George Shammas, Aaron Williamson, and Per Andersson for their contributions to the organization. By becoming a member, you can help support the Open Source Hardware community, including initiatives like the certification program and the Open Hardware Summit.
