I&#39;m currently looking for one or more volunteers to maintain the Openmoko USB PID + OUI service at https://github.com/openmoko/openmoko-usb-oui as the existing maintainer is no longer available. This is a service providing free USB Product IDs and Ethernet MAC addresses for the #FOSS and #OSWH community. Volunteers have to review of the PRs fulfill FOSS/OSHW licensing requirements before merging PRs. #usb #opensource

I&#39;m currently looking to expand my social network and would love to get in touch with anyone in the &quot;global south&quot; (especially African countries) involved in #hamradio, wireless community networks, #FOSS or #OSHW development or the #maker and #hacker communities. I&#39;d be very happy if anyone from the above target groups would reach out and introduce themselves #followerpower

I just recovered the project information of the atusb IEEE 802.15.4 USB adapter since qi-hardware is now defunct. The page and all other resources/binaries/... (full backup) now live at https://people.osmocom.org/werner/wpan/web/ and a git repo with compiling tools can be found at https://gitea.osmocom.org/qi-hardware/ben-wpan #oshw #wpan #ieee802_15_4
