Join OSHWA today!

As participants in the Open Source Hardware Community, we invite you to join us in the expansion of our member base. Industry leaders have long recognized the need for better communication between sectors at the local level, and your support provides the structured forum needed.

With participation in local OSHWA branches, you have the opportunity to focus on local OSHW problems and join in finding solutions by networking more effectively with other members of the community. New technologies and national standards require expanded educational opportunities, which are offered through the local branches. Through your local branch, we can share information more effectively, mutually consider legislative and communal needs and, by working together, provide the best possible service to the public!

More information on membership dues can be found at www.oshwa.org/membership/. All that is required is your participation.

For questions or additional information, please contact us at Info@OSHWA.org or Caleb@OSHWA.org.

We look forward to seeing you at our next OSHWA meeting!
