10. How to “efficiently” share your maker projects?
1. Technical schematics/code/drawings/sketches go to
http://github.com
2. Write a blog post about your making experience
3. Give a talk at Hackware or OneMakerGroup:
• Slides can go to http://www.slideshare.net/ and into the blog post
4. Finally share a picture and link of your work on social
media

Sharing encourages you to finish your project!
