## Summary

Lee Wilkins, an artist and the chair of the Open Hardware Summit, discusses the Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA), its certification processes, and the upcoming summit in Montreal. Wilkins explains OSHWA's expansion beyond PCBs to include diverse physical objects and its efforts to bridge the gap between maker, academic, and professional communities. The conversation also covers Wilkins' PhD research on human-centric space infrastructure and their zine 'Ohm No,' which demystifies electronics fundamentals for artists and beginners.
