Hi!<br>
<br>
I was following in up on this upcoming event and letting you guys
know that LulzBot is joining the celebration and offering 8 3D
printers to participating hackerspaces. One simply needs to fill up
the form on their website here
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.lulzbot.com/printer-giveaway-2014">https://www.lulzbot.com/printer-giveaway-2014</a> and be motivating
enough in their usage plan. Of course running a Hardware Freedom Day
and introducing Free and Open Hardware to your area is highly
recommended.<br>
<br>
So all the best and may you all be lucky! (though obviously only 8
will be).<br>
<br>

Dear all,<br>
<br>
As we announced earlier this year [1], Hardware Freedom Day [2]
will be celebrated on March 15th this year. While we did a soft
launch about 3 weeks ago (still had some details to iron out) we
are please to officially launch this week.<br>
<br>
Note that besides the celebration related to Education Freedom [3]
earlier this year, we believe education is a big topic among
hackerspaces as we have seen on this list, be it to educate the
younger crowd or just for us the "older bunch" who love to learn
new things everyday. While a lot of the major Open Hardware
projects already have quite a lot of documentation on the topic,
some quite interesting approaches use either physical data to
convey the notion of programming to kids, or insert a simulation
layer to make the technology more accessible to the younger
audience (like Etoys and physical Etoys).<br>
<br>
Anyway the event is really about reaching out about Open Source
Hardware, your hackerspace and all the associated topics and we
hope that this event will add significant value to what you are
doing already! Current registered events can be found here at <a

Of course you can contact us either by replying here, or on our
mailing list [4].<br>
<br>
All the best and happy HFD!<br>
