Thanks to all of our MAKE contributors and readers. You all made this a banner year with many milestones (four regular issues of the magazine, a special “School’s Out” summer edition, a groundbreaking 3D printer weekend and resulting buyer’s guide, two block-busting Maker Faires, a very successful Mini Maker Faire program, with Faires springing up all over the world, an amazing six week online Maker Camp for kids on G+, our Weekend Projects series in partnership with RadioShack, new DiResta and Make: Believe video series, over a million people in our Google circles, the list goes on and on).
You are a big part of making all of this happen. Your involvement in MAKE, the Maker Faires, and the maker movement are helping to drive us into the mainstream. So we thank you for your support, for your enthusiasm, and for your participation.
From everyone here at Maker Media, we hope you have a fabulous, inspired holiday. And we can’t wait to see what great things we’re going to do together in 2013.
All the best, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year,
Gareth Branwyn
Editorial Director
