I enjoyed dipping in and out of the @oshwassociation 12hr live stream yesterday. Just watched Oscars amazing mouth driven mouse section.. awesome. Anyhoo if it's peaked your interest in getting something certified I have written a small guide to certifying in the latest issue of the pay as you feel magazine. There's also a primer a beginners project and some stuff as well! Grab a copy here concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/

A screenshot of the first page of an article on certifying opensource hardware projects with OSHWA. Theres the OSHWA logo at the top of the page, lots of text and a picture of a certified design which is a small hexagonal rocket.

Srsly... I usually go blob out after doing a livestream (especially like this one – 40 minutes of high-speed rambling πŸ˜†), but I haven't been able to stop watching!

@oshwassociation Aaa @virgilvox is after me and he's tearing it up! His open-source, privacy-focused in-browser zine maker (zeenster.com) has a built-in punk radio player?! And he's working on exporting to #IPFS? Tooooo good 😱✨

sitting up and blinking at this open source eDNA sampler on the @oshwassociation livestream github.com/J4n-M44rt3n/Nutshel

it's a sampling device, needs sent back to a lab for "metabarcoding" (analysing the ecological landscape contained in the sample)

i've (thankfully) never been asked to work on this stuff, hasn't stopped me wondering how near to realtime, close to the field you could get the analysis stage. You know, for obvious art project purposes :/

I bet @gendor would know

I'm on the @oshwassociation 12-hour membership drivestream in just under 3 hours (2pm Pacific / 5pm Eastern)!

Excited to check out some other talks, hang out with #OpenHardware nerds in the chat, and share a bunch of details on the latest #ArchimedesBot updates – plus Halloween shenanigans :D

Publishing the Archie v3 tutorial on #HacksterIO, and I'll add that here afterwards too~ mastodon.social/@oshwassociati
