As my friends and colleagues can attest I carry a camera with me everywhere I go. I shoot film exclusively using a couple of mechanical rangefinders, which offer me needed reprieve from my otherwise relentlessly digital work-and-life-flow (I have my friend Joi Ito to thank for turning me onto rangefinder photography).

Sometimes new acquaintances are flustered by the cameras and the number of exposures I make, but understand my aims once they see the results.

Released today is the monthly Qi Hardware's news where you'll see a veritable explosion of developments.

Beyond the fun news of the homebrew CMOS project making the world's smallest Nyan Cat, Fabricatorz Christopher Adams provided some design tweaks to the upcoming Milkymist One product launch:

The changes are included in the upcoming Milkymist One RC3 hardware with the new logo laser etched onto the top of the case, seen below.

And then you can also see it propagated to the box design:

You can also see on the latest news the full spread of the slides I developed for FISL12 in Brazil:

This just scratches the surface of the last month of news from the Qi Hardware Project. Please read about the other developments and join the copyleft hardware revolution!

We've had a big year for 分享主义. I took some time these past few holladaze to collect together links in English and Chinese about Sharism Forum and our new Sharism Presents events for the collection of history. Also, please check out the quick sharism presentation now live at sharism.org. Here's to a big year of SHARISM in 2.0.11. Cheers!

The Fabricatorz are once again travel-ready as this week picks up steam. Most immediate on the list of events, Get It Louder 2010 is in final prep stages before lifting off in Shanghai. This year's exhibition, a popular platform for new and upcoming artists, is themed around Sharism. As such, a Sharism Forum, coordinated and moderated by members of Fabricatorz will kick off the week-long event

A recent StatusNet blog goes into detail about how the event will be paced:

Jon Phillips is a moderator and organizer of the Sharism Conference in Shanghai which is taking place on Friday October 22,2010. He will be talking on Friday from 1:00pm to 1:30pm.

All are invited to this initial Sharism Forum to see the fruits of our labor.

From Get It Louder, the action continues into the Arab World. On October 23, much of the Fabricatorz Team will present at ICTQatar, a workshop based around free software and open source development. Main goals for this event will be to educate those eager to discover methods for open source development, advantages in using them, and why open source techniques are important. Attendees can expect all free culture bases to be covered, including: backgrounds, latest developments, and practical how-to's.

Rounding out an action-packed next few days, Fabricatorz will be assisting AikiLab in putting together a DJ/VJ Party at the HackerSpace, in Damascus. Partying is free, but the drinks will cost!

Even more news, events and recaps on tap for next week!

UPDATE:Jon Phillips adds a huge thank you to Fabricatorz team members, Christopher Adams and Sophie Chiang for making Sharism Forum real. Without them, the conference would not have happened. Thank you so much. Fabricatorz coordinated the Sharism Forum happening in Shanghai right now with the help of our sponsors, Get It Louder, Google and Mozilla.

Fabricatorz are back in the development cycle after weeks filled with travel, meetings, and community events. Developer Bassel Safadi is busy building out new features for his rapidly evolving Aiki Framework, while Brad Phillips helps improve Aiki's portfolio with new and improved sites. Official announcements on these projects are expected next week, and feel free to utilize Brad's newest GPL-Themed web badges!

Meanwhile, Founder Jon Phillips and Developer Christopher Adams capped off successful journeys, in Tokyo, with Digital Garage, by taking the stage at The New Context Conference 2010. Building off of last week's CC.ASIA site launch, Jon and Christopher spoke about Sharism and it's potential impact in Asia.

From Asia, Jon landed in London, where he was a featured speaker at the Future of Web Apps Conference.

Later this month, many of our Fabricatorz (including Bassel, Christopher, Jon, and Barry Threw) will be featured at ICT Qatar, an open source workshop that will aim to inform and educate attendees about F/LOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software) and how it can be effectively utilized.

More details and Releases are on the agenda for next week!
