Hey Porter,

What was it like working with Mat Zo on Easy? What was the collaboration process like with someone as established as him?

Hey! I wrote a repair guide for a Fender guitar amp for you guys for my technical writing class at Cal Poly SLO! My question is what sort of compromise could you foresee that would both allow use consumers to do what we wish with our products, while still protecting the intellectual property of the numerous companies we purchase our products from?

How much of "traditional" Native American Culture is still present. By this I mean how different from typical American culture is the culture of the reservation. Thanks

Hey there! Love what you guys do, and love to see a SLO company on here.

Way back when I was a CS student at Cal Poly we partnered with you guys for a technical writing class to do a repair guide. (We fixed our teammates Fender amp: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Fender_Frontman_15r). It was a really great experience, and you guys provided us with some basic tools to get us up and running.

My questions then are:

  1. Are there any similar programs that you guys run to get people off the ground repairing their own stuff (and potentially writing a guide as they do)? I could see it being a bit more difficult to get going without all the resources we were offered when we wrote our guide.
  2. Do you guys still partner with Cal Poly to teach students how to write guides? I had a ton of fun doing it, and I still always love getting the "Your guides helped X people this week" emails!
