Fishsitter license

I'd like my fishsitter to be shared, used by many peoples to help them to manage their aquarium and improve the fishsitter.

And I'd also like my project to be modified, improved by community, but not for commercial use and not use the term fishsitter.

That's why I choose a CC-BY-NC-SA License for my project.

Dissemination

I think follow this steps for the dissemination :

1. Test the fishsitter in the context of the fablab aquarium
2. Publish the "how to build it" in instructables or hackaday.io
3. Get feedbacks from users/makers
4. Launch the community website
5. Try to launch a crowdfunding compaign (Kickstarter, Ulule, ...)
