"'RoBLOKS" is an idea I (Grayson Sigler) have to create a modular robotic tool that is open-source, adaptable to any use and is affordable to the public. The Lumenlab RoBLOKS Gantry Robot (RoGR) is the first RoBLOKS module, and is truly a technological revolution in the making. For the first time in history, high quality robotic manufacturing is available to the public at a price point that is affordable to nearly all. As a bonus, the RoBLOKS RoGR design is modular and easily adapted to many configurations..." (http://www.lumenlab.com/robotics/)

A few weeks ago, I spoke at this year's WordCamp London. My theme was free software and free speech. The first part of my talk was a quick run-through free software's amazing achievements - something I've spoken about several times before.

The Common Libraries initiative was established to ‘prototype the library of the future – today’ – to explore, develop and test new ways of working with library users, to support innovation and the evolution of library services, and expand our knowledge or information commons. Accordingly, we conducted a ‘National Library Science Experiment’ and supported x5 ‘Hack the Library’ days to better understand the potential for Common Libraries to enhance the appeal, resilience and sustainability of libraries in future, before presenting our work at two national events for further discussion, with funding from Arts Council England. Today, we’re delighted to publish the findings from our recent activities working with library authorities around the country.
