I am thrilled to be able to welcome Thea “Stargirl” Flowers as the new OSHWA Board President!
As many members of the OSHWA community already know, Thea is a creative technologist and passionate open source advocate. She is the creator of the Winterbloom open source synthesizers (many of which are OSHWA certified). Thea is also the creator of KiCanvas, a maintainer of CircuitPython, and a former Python Software Foundation Fellow. Oh, and she recently redesigned the certification mark brand guide.
While this marks the end of my tenure as OSHWA Board President, I am excited to remain on the board and support Thea, Alicia, and OSHWA however I can. I also want to thank Alicia and the OSHWA board(s) for allowing me to serve as Board President for the past few years. It has been fantastic to be a part of OSHWA’s growth and maturation.
I know the rest of the OSHWA community joins me in celebrating Thea’s new role, and is eager to benefit from the energy and ideas she brings with her.
