[OpenDesign] Institute of Making is opening in London - but how open?

[Kat Braybrooke]

Hello Heloisa,

Thanks for your thoughts re: the blog post - would be interested to hear
more about your National Association for Fab Labs. There are others here
(attn Primavera, Peter!) who are also working to unite Fab Labs across
borders - is an important topic to be focusing on as we work to promote
openness in our respective nations.

Kat
