  1. The next step is to give your project a name. You can also add a "sub-domain" that will allow you to access the project space with a short url, such as project-name.fosm.space. You can also add one or more Third Places (fablabs) where the project is carried out, if they have been created beforehand in the list of locations.

  2. Finish creating the project by adding a brief summary of the project. Limit yourself to a few sentences, this is what will appear under the project title in the window banner. You will have the opportunity to describe it in detail in the next step on the showcase page.

  1. Once you are satisfied with the content, you can "Submit Project" through the dedicated button on the banner. It will then be reviewed by the Project Circle team to ensure that it meets the publication criteria. The Circle will validate the project immediately, or it may come back to you asking for modifications if some points are missing.
  2. Once the project has been validated by the Project Circle, it will go into published status, and all the tools you have chosen to activate in the administration will be configured and available to the project members.
