Non-Fab Labs Canada

In the Canadian list there are a few non labs and doubles

-DèmosLab is no longer active
-District3 has 2 entries…
-Siat SFU never replied to my greeting/questions and It looks more like a biology lab than a fab lab.

Thanks

Yes, the inbox was pretty full :slight_smile: but now since mid-October 2016 there’s a new team behind Fablabs.io (including me), you will receive an update very soon!

Regarding your questions, thanks for the feedback!

  • We are contacting the users of the duplicate lab in order to solve this situation
  • For inactive labs we are working on specific features for this, we need to approach this in a scalable way
  • Not sure about the “behind the scene” tab, could you explain this a bit more?

Furthemore, some countries have already started a specific thread regarding this for their countries, like New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil

Could you please start a specific one for Canada? This thread is a mix of this and other requests. In this way, we could have a discussion with all labs and makers in Canada (which is needed as much as new features).

good to know someone is taking care of fablabs.io! :slight_smile:

the “behind the scene” (in french = “coulisse”) page was where I recieved notifications about labs waiting for approval… but maybe it’s tied to the fablab where I worked back then…

and I’ll edit everything here so it fit the “Non-Fab Lab X” structure

Thanks :slight_smile:

Yes, I suppose that the Backstage (in English) is related to the lab and that you were working in a Supernode back then…

not too sure how that “supernode” is different from my actual lab but yes, I guess that’s it.

It could be interesting if it would follow the user as long as he is listed as working somewhere… I still know what a Fab Lab is. Probably even more than some people in supernodes… but well, these are the rules of the game I guess haha

I will second the not-a-fablab statement about Siat SFU.
Is there a way to send it into review for removal?
Contact does not exist, and when I physically walked there and tried to get a contact, the school flat out say the fablab doesn’t exist.
They also got listed as a supernode some how, which is really confusing.

That’s a bug unfortunately, we are working on it.

Any news about the bug now?

Or is it possible to change it into normal fablab manually?
