<div class="moz-cite-prefix">This is very interesting indeed. The
NSCAP program is currently doing this...we currently have 16 3D
printers across the province, offering 3D printing
workshops/training as well as 3D design. Our provincial
Chairperson Eric Stackhouse is delivering 3D printing/Lego
Robotics proposal next week. If you have more info to share we
are certainly willing to listen. On a side note I am currently
working on a "green IT" solution using a Linux Server, edununtu
and Raspberry Pi's<br>

<div>As a suggestion and to promote appropriation of Fab Labs by
communities, we could build a pilot-project to implement the
idea of Fablabs. As in the beginning of CAP-Sites, funding could
be used toward acquisition of equipment and training of local
resources to build an infrastructure of labs. In regard of
training, this could help small community to develop 21st
century digital skills (3D design, electronics, etc) and
micro-production facility.<br>
<br>
Considering the future development of the <i>internet of object</i><i>s</i> and
the everlasting digital gap, it could have a positive impact on
our communities, as we've seen with échoFab. As of now, many
countries have similar plans of their own, often in rural or
semi-rural areas. We can even imagine some CAP-Site becoming
project leaders in that field.</div>

<br>
Hello folks. I am happy to let you know (a bit in advance
of any CIRA marketing campaign), that I have been asked to
be a community representative on a new CIRA cttee that
will "encourage community projects and education and
research activities." It will distribute a fair amount of
money each year for projects like digital literacy, soft
infrastructure, internet governance, and security and
stability. The mechanics of this are just being worked
out and I would feel a lot more grounded in my suggestions
on how this could benefit some of our communities if I
could go in armed with suggestions from actual people
working in the field.<br>
<br>
I'm asking for a bit of stargazing here, if anyone is up
to it. Let's think long term here -- how can such a fund
support digital literacy and other community internet
projects?<br>
<br>
I am only one person on the committee of 8, but I don't
think others have the kind of community practitioner
connection. So, I'd like to use that to our advantage.
There will be lots of competition out there for more
visible and sexy projects -- but this is a chance for
small communities to have a say. Let's see what we can do!<br>
<br>
Marita<br>
