This week on the Open Hardware Manufacturing Podcast, Thea and Lucy talk about what collaboration really looks like in open source hardware. They share how they each found their way into the open source world, with stories ranging from building Nerf blasters to creating massive community-driven projects, like Nox or the LumenPnP.

The conversation touches on different ways people come together to build projects, why documentation matters, and how simple things like clear expectations or a quick thank-you can make a huge difference for contributors. They also highlight a few projects, such as Arduino and QMK (open source keyboard software), that demonstrate what strong communities can achieve.


In this episode you’ll hear about:

  • What collaboration means in open source hardware
  • Personal stories from the team
  • Lessons from successful projects like Nox, Arduino, and QMK
  • How to encourage community contributions
  • Why documentation and recognition keep projects thriving
