Session
How do you share your OSHW projects? Does your process help keep things like the BoM and assembly instructions in sync? Is it easy to re-use parts from other projects (yours or someone else’s)? Can you easily fork your projects? How difficult is it for you to certify (or re-certify) your projects as OSHW? If you have a process that addresses all these needs, we want to hear about it. And if not, we want to hear how a new process could best support your needs. Join our live discussion on what works in sharing OSHW projects and what still needs improvement. Your input will be included in a public report on how the community shares projects and will guide development of formal processes and tools for sharing OSHW.
