Call for Contributions: FabYearBook 2012!
November is upon us, so it is time to start writing your FabYearBook contributions again! Send in your contributions before December 31st 2011 to yearbook@fabfolk.com. Publication date is February 2012.
Your great contributions made the first ever FabYearBook in 2010 as well as last years FabYearBook 2011 beautiful collections of photos, stories and designs from around the FabLab world. We hope to get even more contributions for the coming edition!
Contribute to FabYearBook 2012!
Now it is time to start creating your contributions for the next edition of the FabYearBook! So get creative and share fun, inspirational, or deep stories about your FabLab and the things that happen there, in the form of text, pictures, drawings or whatever you can think of. We accept contributions in any shape or form. To be part of the book it needs to be in A4 format though. But feel free to also send in fun designs (even better if they fit that A4 format!) we can share in the digital version of the FabYearBook.
The FabYearBook 2012 will be available to print in your own FabLab in February 2012. We will strive to turn the publication into a Polycon video event, connecting many FabLabs together while the FabYearBook gets printed in those FabLabs.
The FabYearBook 2012 will be published under the banner of the FabLab Association, where the FabYearBook has found a home from now on.
An opportunity to connect and share!
The yearly Fab conference, such as Fab6 in the Netherlands last year, or Fab7 in Peru this year are great opportunities to meet face to face and feel part of a bigger global whole. The FabYearBook appears halfway between the global Fab conferences, and is an additional way to stay in touch and feel part of the global FabLab community.
Use the FabYearBook 2012 to introduce us all to the people in your FabLab, the staff, volunteers and makers that make up your local community. Show us what great stuff is getting made in the FabLab. Tell us what is hard, what is fun, what is awesome. Share with us the impact FabLab has on your life, your community, your visitors. Don’t be a stranger, and send in your contributions for the FabYearBook 2012!
Spread the word!
Please forward this call for contributions to others (people, FabLabs) you think may be interested in adding something to the book. The more variety and diversity we have in the contributed stories, the richer and more inspiring the result will be to all of us.
