# Martin Häuer

Martin (people usually call him 'Moe'), is an engineer and board member of OSE Germany e.V. Currently he is coordinating the creation of the first (German) standard under an open source license: DIN SPEC 3105 (technical documentation of open source hardware incl. certification). By-products: OSH Guideline (community creates their own sub-standards) and oho.wiki (meta search engine for DIY & OSH). Moe believes that the concept of open source hardware (given a good structure) is able to change the way how we work, trade and live together. In a positive way 😃

Expertise: Working on the infrastructure for OSH, coordinating standardisation efforts (DIN SPEC 3105, OKH metadata standard), coordinating working groups to 1) solve legal issues and 2) discuss open source business models. He is also a mechanical engineer (focus on processing machines) and welding engineer (IWE)
