I am thankfull to have spent another great week in the beautyfull MIT-FabLab Norway in Lyngen. It was teriffic to finally meet in person Neil, Thomas, Dani, Vicente, Frosti and Kenny, which I have only known from the Polycom. The Fablab is a great network, and I think it's important to meet up ones in a while in real space. It makes it stronger.
Big questions which are popping up again and again are: How do you make a fablab sustainable? How do you create busineses? In my view, ones you can create a FabLab in a FabLab, a lot of problems will be solved. And I am sure this is going to happen, at least, nobody will stop us to do so!

Many thanks to all for the great time here, I can’t wait to come back here and meet you all again.

IaaC hosted the launching meeting of the Fab Academy program together with the MIT CBA and different Fab Labs of the world. Fab Academy is a distributed educational program based on the digital and personal fabrication. The Fab Academy will provide instruction and supervise investigation of mechanisms, applications, and implications of digital fabrication. Field “fab labs” are providing early access to these capabilities, through prototype tools for personal fabrication.
