Suggestions regarding the search engine
From the discussion session at fablabs.io here:
Ideally the search engine and also a filtered map should be able to filter:
- Labs who attended or attending conference X (fab 10, fab 11....)
- Labs who participated in a program (fab academy 2014, htgaa 2015)
- Labs who offer fab academy program so you can see them only in the map
- Labs who offer residency experiences, since there are a few like this now
- Labs with gurus
- Labs by machines
- Labs by open day
- Labs by proximity
- Labs with more likes (if we have a feature that rates fablabs)
- Labs that seal services (what kind? materials?)
As for now we have Labs
and Machines
. I think we should add People
to the search engine. And regarding this topic we could search:
- Official directory of graduates (Fab Academy / Bio Academy / Future programs)
- Search for Gurus
- Search for instructors
- List people looking for a job so companies/labs can offer them a position. (Linked/connected to jobs.fabeconomy.org ?)
You can already look for People
with the search engine, see for example my user.
But the whole People
section should be improved, I opened a separate issue for it #119 and a milestone at https://github.com/fablabbcn/fablabs/milestone/9
