I might have found the right person with which to share my first adventure in open source. On Tuesday I was at a talk by Pavel Tomancak entitled "Open access", which ended up covering open source software & hardware (in addition of course to publishing scientific results in open access journals).
Throughout the talk I often agreed with what was being said but at one moment I was struck: Pavel mentioned that he had heard about FabLabs and that he dreamed of having one in Dresden!
I couldn't believe what I heard! I had been thinking about something similar in the last months. I spoke about it to several collegues but never found anyone that really understood my vision. I instantaneously decided I had to have a chat with Pavel, to tell him about my ideas.
Well, we did meet this Friday :) It was brief but sufficient for me to understand that finally I have found a like-minded person. Needless to say I am excited! We have an inkling of a plan, I will post as things proceed.
