Success is a journey, not a destination
Individual Assignment:
- develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

Project Dissemination Plan
My final Project idea was taken from the existing Lixie Tubes ade by Connor Nishijima, who sells Lixies commercially on Tindie.
So, it was not only me who was excited to make mmy own Lixies with some changes in the existing idea and design. It is basically an open-source project, and this thing helped me a lot in making the designs and getting an idea of possible changes I can make in my version of Lixie. So, I also aim to make everything open-source like the CAD modeling files, electronics files and others , so that people can have cool stuff at one click .
My next move for the project is to increase the features and dimensions in which we can make Lixie, like I changed the Connor Nishijima version of Lixie to a greater extent, check the detaqils on my Final Project Page. I aim to increase the features of Lixie, I really don't like being fixed on the functions; If I can get the Room temperature reading, show the weather through different colors, get the Live website views, Real time clock, and then the only limit becomes my imagination, because with the interfaces available and networking at out hands, we can make great things. So, this is really not a job of month or two , it will need a lot of time and then I will need more like minded people to love Lixies and work further. When there will be enough funtionality at my hands , then I will make the product commercial and give a tough time to Connor Nishijima for sure ;)

Creative Commons
They haave a very useful and clear agenda , "Creative Commons is the global community that breaks down the walls that keep people from sharing their knowledge." This is what makes it so much popular among the people, because nobody like to be limited in sharing in this interlinked world of internet. Creative Commons is also a free to use license.I chose to use this for my final project. Everything is available on their webiste and I read more about its terms of use and other usage rules from the Wikipedia
The type of licenses and and terms are given below:
