On 16th September 2011, Massimo Menichinelli was invited to the MAKIT Symposium in Glasgow, an event organized by <a href="http://www.skirmishes.org/" target="_blank">Skirmishes</a> in order to facilitate the emergence of a FabLab in Glasgow, in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lighthouse,_Glasgow" target="_blank">Lighthous building</a>.The presentation was done with remote video link, and you can see it <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/openp2pdesign/open-design-communities" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>
Skirmishes Limited want to establish <a href="http://www.maklab.co.uk/?page_id=11" target="_blank">MAKLAB</a>, an open access digital manufacturing workshop, in Glasgow�s Lighthouse Building and are raising money through a crowdfunding platform <a href="http://www.soloco.co.uk/project-details/maklab-project.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

The awareness about FabLabs and Open Design is still not very common in Italy, for this reason, <a href="http://openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">openp2pdesign.org</a> and other friends had been trying to organize an event in order to help emerge a network of people and initiatives linked to FabLabs and Open Design.<br>
<br>
The event that we were planning encountered some problems (another sign of the difficulty of proposing these issues in Itay), but in end, thanks to Massimo Banzi of <a href="http://arduino.cc/" target="_blank">Arduino</a>, there was a similar event called <a href="http://www.fablabitalia.it/fabcamp#.Tt3nXDiOFLI" target="_blank">FabCamp Torino</a> we participated to. The event was held on October 29th in <a href="http://www.fablabitalia.it/" target="_blank">FabLab Italia</a>, the temporary FabLab (now closed) hosted in the <a href="http://eng.italia150.it/Officine-Grandi-Riparazioni/Future-Station.-The-remaking-of-Italy" target="_blank"><i>Future Station. The remaking of Italy</i></a> exhibition, part of the <a href="http://eng.italia150.it/" target="_blank">celebrations for the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy</a>.
<br><br>
During this event, we discussed FabLabs, the experience of FabLab Italia and how it could be possible to continue such experience starting another FabLab in Turin. You can still follow this discussion (in Italian) <a href="http://www.fablabitalia.it/fablab-torino#.Tt3nSjiOFLI" target="_blank">here</a>.
Massimo Menichinelli's presentation (in Italian) can be found <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/openp2pdesign/fabcamp-torino-29102011" target="_blank">here</a>; the full morning of the event (in Italian) was recorded and you can watch the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLLMNsafieA" target="_blank">on YouTube here</a>.

On November12th, Massimo Menichinelli was invited to give a lecture in a SIMBioMS workshop in Helsinki. <a href="http://simbioms.org/" target="_blank">SIMBioMS</a> (System for Information Management in BioMedical Studies) is a project for a multi-module solution for data management in biomedical studies. In this lecture we discussed how to apply the Open P2P Design mehtodology to designing collaborative services for biomedical studies.

A brief recap: the <a href="http://openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">openp2pdesign.org</a> project started in March 2005 with Massimo Menichinelli's Master Degree Thesis in the Faculty of Design of the Milan Polytechnic. Therefore, for the first year (March 2005 � April 2006) <a href="http://openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">openp2pdesign.org</a> was just a work in progress and it did not really exist yet, it started as a website towards the end of 2006, opening the 2007 as a blog. The main idea, however, was to provide a space for collective discussion and further research for Open P2P Design, with the aim of becoming <b>an open source community</b>.
<br><br>
During the following years, the project has become quite successful, with workshops, lectures or panels in many countries, including Italy, Spain, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, South Korea, Singapore, Mexico. Other people joined the project, but due to technical limitations and varios issues the project has been staying small, without becoming a real open source community.
<br><br>
Luckily, after many months of research, the moment of redesigning <a href="http://openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">openp2pdesign.org</a>, both as a website and as a community dedicated to a set of collaborative activities has finally arrived.<br>
If you go to <a href="http://meta.openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">meta.openp2pdesign.org</a>, you will find that the redesign process has already started, and if you want, you can join it. You can read a longer blog post about this process <a href="http://www.openp2pdesign.org/2011/openp2pdesignorg/redesigning-openp2pdesign-org/" target="_blank">here</a>. We will use <a href="http://trac.edgewall.org/" target="_blank">Trac</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subversion_%28software%29" target="_blank">Subversion</a> software (as in many open source projects) and the Open P2P Design methodology for designing how <a href="http://openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">openp2pdesign.org</a> project will work as a set of collaborative activities. There is also a mailing list for discussion about the redesign of the project here:<br>
<br><a href="http://lists.meta.openp2pdesign.org/listinfo.cgi/discussion-meta.openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">http://lists.meta.openp2pdesign.org/listinfo.cgi/discussion-meta.openp2pdesign.org</a>
<br><br>
If you want to participate in the process, go to <a href="http://meta.openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">meta.openp2pdesign.org</a> or send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:meta@openp2pdesign.org" target="_blank">meta [at] openp2pdesign.org</a> asking for a Subversion account. If you don�t want to participate in the process but want to see / use the new website / community, just subscribe to the <a href="http://meta.openp2pdesign.org/trac/wiki/Newsletter" target="_blank">newsletter</a> and we will keep you updated. In this project, <i>open</i> doesn�t mean just something that you can download for free, but that we welcome any participant in further improving this collaborative effort, so we will very happy if you'll join and help us!
