Opening Up

Over the course of doing FabAcademy I have been inspired to try and transition as much of my workflow to open source software as possible.

As a technical manger in a Fablab I am often asked for software recommendations and where possible it has been great to have open source free software that we can recommend.

But not all the tools we use on a daily basis are open source.

With that in mind I want to take this opportunity to list some of the workflows would like to transition

Image editing

We are pretty good on this front, Gimp and Inkscape have been great options to recommend people

Ipad Sketching app?

I am currently using Concepts on the ipad and love it but would be open to an alternative.

Rhino 3D -> FreeCAD
