Episode Synopsis
Welcome to a new HardwareX podcast series: Open Hardware Talks.In addition to our regular episodes exploring open-source hardware projects, we're launching a new deep-dive series. Open Hardware Talks explores key concepts of open-source hardware in casual conversations with experts and practitioners from across the ecosystem.For the first episode in this new series, we ask: How do you validate the openness of a given hardware? To explore this, we're joined by Sid Drmay and Lee Wilkins from the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) which maintains the open-source hardware certification recognised by practitioners globally, including us here at HardwareX. As a bonus, Martin Häuer from Open Source Ecology Germany (OSEG) joins to present the DIN SPEC-3105; the world's first open-source standard.Don't forget! OSHWA is also behind the annual Open Hardware Summit, the world’s first comprehensive conference on open hardware. A hybrid event, most talks and discussions are also available online.2024 Open Hardware SummitMay 3rd-4thMontreal, CanadaFor more info on how to join, check out the links below.Attend the Summit: https://2024.oshwa.org/attend-the-summit/Open Hardware Summit YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/user/opensourcehardwareOSHWA Discord: https://discord.com/invite/bMK7NqFWG9This episode is researched, produced and edited by Miriam Gradel, Journalist and Media Editor at HardwareX.
