The Open Hardware Repository ohwr.org is a place on the web which was created in 2009 so electronics designers at experimental physics facilities could have a space to collaborate on Open Source Hardware (OSHW) designs, much in the philosophy of the free software movement.

In its latest incarnation, it is an easy-to-browse catalogue of OSHW designs, still limited in scope to controls and data acquisition for physics, with links to the designs themselves (now hosted elsewhere) and to forums where you can participate in discussions around those designs.

Are you a developer thinking of diving into the open-source world, or have inquiries regarding your open-source software, gateware, or hardware designs? You will find the necessary information within these pages. From contact details for the OSPO, to the nitty-gritty on copyright, licensing, and doing your due diligence. We have also sprinkled in some wisdom on best practices for steering your open-source project towards success.
