We can't believe it but we are only ONE WEEK out from Open Hardware Month aka October!
During the month we encourage you all to find ways to participate in open hardware. Here at OSHWA we've got a few ways we plan on celebrating.
We will be running a 12hr Show & Tell Livestream Membership Drive! During this livestream we'll have open hardware creators from all over the world come on and show off their work.
Look forward to hearing from creators like Guy Dupont, Nick Puckett, Ayesha Iftiqhar, Digital Naturalism Labs, COSMIIC, BrailleRap, chipperdoodles, Lumen Canvas, Maker Brains, Leon Anavi, and so so many more!
Last year we had an amazing time getting an insider look at creators workspaces, sneak peeks at new projects, and even got to spend some time with sloths so you definitely want to be sure to join us live to ask questions and maybe even claim some cool prizes.
PLUS we're going to have some announcements about OHS2026!
We're also going to bring back our OSHWA tee for the month of October! You'll be able to claim your very own tee or hoodie or tank with our beautiful Make Share Iterate design by illustrator Jess Hannigan.
Word on the street is that people get all kinds of compliments when wearing this one!
As is tradition for the last couple years if you certify in October you will get the official pumpkin spice sticker that shows off that you contributed to the database for OHM.
We're also so excited to be offering badges for repeat certifiers during October so get those certs in to really show off your OSHW prowess.
We can't wait to spend another Open Hardware Month celebrating the joys of openness and spreading the word about OSHW!
