18.INVENTION, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND INCOME

June 1, 2016

This week's assignment is to develop a plan for dissemination of own final project, and prepare a summary slide (presentation.png, 1280x1024) and video clip (presentation.mp4, HTML5, < minute) in own root directory.

1.Licence

I specify a creative commons licence "Attribution 4.0 International Licence" for my final project. In this license, It is allowed to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format, and remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially. But, the licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
There are 2 reasons why I chose this licence. The first reason is that I want feedback from many people who used or made it. And I want many craftsmen to use this machine, but it is hard for most of them to use a computer and digital devices. So I think that if this machine is commercialized by somebody, more craftsmen may use it. I decided to admit the use in the commercial purpose from such a reason.

2.How to share

I have written posts on FabLab Sendai’s blog about what I had experienced in Fab Academy to have many people know the process of the making.
And I'm planning the workshop of making own bamboo blind with this machine. As for the production of the Japanese paper, winter is the peak period. So I'll make the manual which how to make machines is written down, and complete the program of the workshop by that time.
Then I want to make new products with paper that I made!

[the progress of final project]
Additionally, I ran test program on my original Arduino that I made in week17. (I'll use this board in my final project.) But the connection of a computer and it did not go well...

I used wrong resistor... So I changed them and added a jumper wire and a condensor. Then LED blinked!
