This month on Opensource.com, we highlighted the many ways to get involved in open source communities in our Getting Started series. In the spirit of encouraging more members of our community to take the plunge and get involved with open source, we're excited to announce the Getting Started Giveaway, where we'll be awarding one lucky Opensource.com community member a LulzBot Mini 3D printer!

The Mini is the perfect 3D printer for new makers looking to experiment with open source software and hardware. It can print creations of up to 152x152x158mm in size and ships with a one-year warranty and a year of technical support. Best of all, LulzBot manufacturer Aleph Objects freely licenses its product designs, specifications, and documentation as part of its commitment to open source and open hardware. The LulzBot Mini retails from the Lulzbot.com store for $1,250 (USD).
