Important Things
In Maker’s Case
Get ideas & inspirations
If your product is NOT good, nobody buy it…
Get friends
The recently products use 2 more special technologies.
Ex. Android game console OUYA
Software & Electronics
Actions for getting them
Get Knowledge & Experience
Improve your Skills
Release your Works

10. ©SIProp Project, 2006-2008 10
Let’s Get Knowledge & Experience
For Getting ideas & inspirations
Great ideas are made by great Knowledge &
Experience.
Recommended Actions (By my opinion )
Join Event & Conference
Lots of specialists are in there. So you can get great
knowledge from them easily 
Travel to Foreign Country
Foreigners have different thinking way. So you can think
on other views from them.

11. ©SIProp Project, 2006-2008 11
Let’s Improve your Skills
For Getting Friends
Everyone want to know special knowledge and
collaborate with person who has special skills.
Recommended Actions (By my opinion )
Try to Do Everything !
Ex. Cooking, Plant, etc... All Making Things!!!
Buy Rare Thing by your money !
Somebody don’t want to spend own money. They want to
get knowledge by FREE.

12. ©SIProp Project, 2006-2008 12
Let’s Release your Works
For “Give and Given” way
Change “Do It Yourself” ⇒ “Do It With Others!”
You should collaborate with people in over the world!
Recommended Actions (By my opinion )
Release your Works as Open Way.
Open Source, Open Hardware, etc…
You can get some feedbacks by over the world.
