Open Healthware Feedback Form This survey was created to give our community a chance to tell us what they do and don't like about our new Open Healthware website and certification process. You do not have to answer every question ...

We're excited to share that we are working on an Open Healthware website and are now at a point where it's time for feedback!
We'd love to hear your thoughts on what you do and don't like about it so far and any suggestions on how to improve it.
Here's the link: forms.gle/9kHjeDuavGmx...

Join me at Open Hardware Summit in Berlin this May.

Tickets are affordable and you'll come back a little more inspired that a better world is possible.

We're also still looking for sponsors who want to get their products in front of the open source community!

First @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified open hardware from Pakistan (certification.oshwa.org/pk000001.html) and Vietnam (certification.oshwa.org/vn000001.html).

There are so many countries in the directory that it has been a long time since we had 2 new ones in the same week!
