History

Fabricatorz Foundation hosts Bassel Khartabil Fellowship, New Palmyra, Scale Publishing, Font Library and Openclipart.

I’m known for my early passion for Open Source Software, Hardware and Free Culture. My first Open Source Project is the drawing app, Inkscape, where I was given the name “rejon”. I then founded Openclipart.

I also am known for my early work on Creative Commons, Identi.ca (Status.net), and Qi Hardware. All three projects inspired me to go to the source of manufacturing, China. I lived in Beijing for a number of years to learn hardware manufacturing where I worked with technologists and artists.
