What’s the temperature there?
Taiwan peut.
That’s interesting.
Maybe we can keep the rice cooker.
OK, I will, I will.
Find a mask in your rice, no thanks.
Thank you very much for your time.
We report to you why we are here today. Because of friendship, and we believe there is really something to do in Taiwan and Taipei regarding MakerSpace community, how to structure it. There is two community events of possibility.
One is FAB15, which is gathering all the FabLab in the world, a yearly event in Shenzhen last year, in Chile this year. Two of those were organized by Nicolas next year. Why not in Taipei or in Taiwan in 2019?
Nicolas’ been meeting a lot of MakerSpace people. Taipei City, Taoyuan City, and legislature went to look yesterday, and here today also to see if you will support this kind of initiative.
Taipei.
Yeah.
But for the FAB Conference, it could be a few days in Taipei. But I will let Nicolas talk about it.
The sustainability of the citizens...
You saw already? Great.
Have you been to Toulouse?
Organizing?
May 11th to 14th?
Of May in Toulouse, in the Taipei City’s commissioner link from the Department of Economic Development. We’ll see if he can support us, if you make a space.
Yes, Taipei City, as in Taiwan.
They are in the process. They are invited, and they try to find funding to drive in France.
You will go to Chile as well?
What do you think will be the best argument to put into the Taiwanese trailer to convince the jury? Full government support is important. [laughs]
You mentioned there’s a theme. A general theme for each FAB Festival or not.
OK.
Hardware making.
IP protection?
Data city, seeing all those things. It could be one of the topics or subtopics of FAB15. Taiwan is already ready to host some of the events or even all the events. Then maybe for FAB14 next year to do this like one week of the meeting and then there is...
We include the two days in...
Politics in Paris.
Yeah. I think it’s a good plan...
There’s a chance the continent was taking turns. If Cairo in Africa is going to be there for a while, but anyway instead of FAB15 it could be FAB20.
My wife is from Taipei.
You can register one week before. There is no deadline. For FAB14, for the candidacy, the best is to say to the foundation you want to apply, and I can try to get also information, if there is also city, apply for it, which one.
If there are information, the reality is it can be prepared, "OK, there is Taipei, and there is this kind of argument," but the video and the group document could be sent...I don’t know. If you get it two weeks before, is it...
Yeah, I think it’s fine. If it’s really before, it’s better.
Yeah, to say that we are preparing something, for sure.
Also, for the video, these kind of things, I think you have already some promotional video from the city, from the country.
In France, we use all of these support video and stuff from the city and the country to do this. We did a presentation and give everything to FAB. We did a document and the video.
If you have after a program for FabLabs, and you would say yes, so next goal will be this, and everyone will see this during FAB15, could be nice. If we have FAB15...
How many people attend the FAB Conference usually?
Over one weekend?
Wow.
We should invite you to attend FAB14 in Toulouse next year. When is the date?
Because the French are in holidays at the time. [laughs]
Like the Olympic flame. They will give you a kind of scepter. [laughs]
You will receive something...
Make something nice, please.
For your time.
