This is an invitation to the world’s engineers, tinkerers, inventors and vehicle enthusiasts, to help The 40 Fires Foundation develop a sustainable car the open source way.

\\
This is the first time the ‘source code’ – its underlying schematics and designs - of a car will be available under a Creative Commons License for collaborative improvement. 

\\
Our main priority over the next few months is to start conversations around the design of the %%(color:blue;)[The Hyrban]%% , leading on to the launch of a full blown vehicle development programme. If you have enthusiasm for our goals, and have skills in the following areas, then do get in touch:

\\
- electrical engineering

- mechanical engineering

- software engineering

- environmental engineering

- working with composite materials

- industrial design

- on-line community building

- intellectual property law and licensing 

- car production. 

\\   
Please see the forums (%%(color:blue;)[General Discussion|40 Fires General Discussion Forum]%% or %%(color:blue;)[Technical Design|Hyrban technical design forums]%%) to join one of our on going discussions or to start your own.
