New Year 2010 update
Dear friend,
The 40 Fires Foundation wishes you a happy and successful new year!
2010 will be an important year for us. This year will see the development of
the first pre-production prototype of the Riversimple urban car. We are
delighted that you have expressed interest in our project and we are
committed to continue building a strong community around the world working
together towards the elimination of environmental impact of transportation.
Our short term goal is to make the 40fires website more functional and make
active use of the discussion forums to develop the Hyrban car. We will need
your help in many different areas. We will shortly update the website with
specific questions we would like the community to work on.
LATEST NEWS:
We ran an Open Hardware conference in London last month. It was very lively,
with around 100 attendees and high quality discussions, and was well written
up on the web. Here is a link to the 40fires page about the conference :

On our site we have split the forums in two for more clarity: the "General
Discussion Forum" and the "Technical Design Forum". Please do have a look
and post any comment/suggestion you may have about any aspect of the
project.
We have updated the description page of the car and have uploaded the front
suspension CAD assembly model. If you have been involved in suspension
design in the past or are a mechanical engineer interested in the subject,
we would love to hear from you. Please log in to the forums and let us know
what you think!
There is a very interesting post about software architectural decisions for
the car, on section 3.6 of the technical forums. If you are interested in
software engineering, please have a look! More discussions about software
and electronics will follow.
All the best,
The 40 fires foundation.
