Open Source Hardware (OSH) is gaining a growing representation in scientific community. When dedicated and inexpensive hardware can substitute use of otherwise unjustifiably costly equipment for educational, research or other purposes, OSH constitutes an attractive option. However, OSH needs appropriate validation and validation recipes as well as popularization if full advantage is to be exploited. WG1 within PortASAP addresses these issues and it is the goal of the work-group to conduct and document validation of different OSH and OSH in general and raise awareness about OSH through adequate dissemination activities.
