Theme: Documentation Day

The Open Source Hardware Association has announced October (http://www.oshwa.org/2016/06/17/announcing-october-as-open-source-hardware-month/) as Open Source Hardware Month! Following our open source discussion with Brandon Mensing in July, let's take a closer look together at how open source hardware works!

We'll explore questions together including:

What is the Open Source Hardware Association (http://www.oshwa.org/)?
What is the newly launched Open Source Hardware Certification Program (http://certificate.oshwa.org/)?
What are the guidelines (http://www.oshwa.org/open-source-quick-reference-guide/) for documenting open source hardware?
How can we make documentation easier?

A note about visiting the TechShop:

If you are not a member, when entering the TechShop please sign the waiver of liability form at the front desk upon arrival. This is a requirement for entry. Also please do not access other areas of the shop for your safety. There's a lot of potentially dangerous equipment setup around the shop that you have to be trained to use.
