Projects¶
Five projects. One person. The same philosophy applied at different scales.
I take things that seem inaccessible — a hardware platform, an art label, a community space — and build infrastructure for them. Document them so others can participate.
libdrone¶
An open aerial payload platform. EU origin, CERN OHL-S v2 licence, fully documented, repairable from a 3D printer and a €250 parts list.
libdrone is not a drone company. It is an attempt to build the reference documentation platform for open drone hardware — the Britannica of the field. Neutral, hardware-agnostic, written so a competent stranger can reproduce the system without ever contacting the author.
The documentation stack: variables file as single source of truth, master specification, hardware document, payload SDK, FreeCAD cookbook, build guides, parametric CadQuery generator. Produced by one person, nights and weekends.
What it demonstrates: Technical documentation at scale. Open hardware architecture. The discipline of documenting a system before it is finished — because that is when the thinking is clearest.
First public demo flight: September 2026, Telč skatepark opening.
→ libdrone as proof of concept
Skate Art Studio¶
A label and platform for art on skateboard decks. Based in Telč — a UNESCO heritage city of five thousand people in the Czech highlands. Bilingual EN/CS. Growing catalogue of documented works, each with artist profile and process notes.
The model is transparent: 80 % to artists, 10 % to Skate Club Telč, 10 % operations. No hidden margins. No gallery overhead. The platform absorbs contributors as they come, keeps the catalogue, and continues regardless of who participates in any given year.
What it demonstrates: Brand architecture from nothing. A sustainable model for community cultural work. The UNESCO angle as genuine international leverage — art from Telč travels in a way that art from an anonymous location does not.
Next major event: Vernisáž July 3rd 2026, ground floor of Telč Town Hall.
Skate Club Telč¶
skateclubtelc.cz (site launching ahead of skatepark opening)
Five years ago there was no skatepark in Telč. Sessions started with borrowed ramps and borrowed gear. The municipality listened, trusted the project, and cooperated closely. Small donations came in. People showed up. The skatepark emerged from that — not from a single push, but from consistent presence and genuine community trust built over time.
In September 2026 a 59×19 metre skatepark opens. Bowl and street. World quality. A platform outcome, not a personal achievement.
The club is not a sports organisation. It is a community infrastructure project with a manifesto, a set of principles, and a direct connection to Ulrike Reinhard and The Janwaar Way — a global framework for community-led change that Skate Club Telč independently arrived at before the two projects ever met.
What it demonstrates: Community building through trust and consistent presence rather than institutional authority. Five years of operation running on fumes. Values-driven infrastructure that outlasts any individual session, event, or participant — including the founder.
jakubsafar.cz¶
This site.
The site itself is a documentation project. MkDocs with Material theme, bilingual EN/CS, self-hosted on a Synology NAS at a fixed public IP in Telč. Every section is a working proof of something — the documentation philosophy pages describe what I do, the tools pages describe how I do it, the projects pages describe what I have built.
What it demonstrates: Documentation architecture applied to personal brand. The discipline of building something public-facing to the same standard you would apply to a client deliverable.
Radio Club Telč¶
Part of Skate Club Telč, z.s. The engineering layer of the whole system.
3D printing, drone building, amateur radio. A PRUSA CoreOne on the desk, components on order, first flights ahead. The connection to libdrone is direct — Radio Club Telč is where the hardware gets built and tested.
The longer ambition: engineering practice combined with the physical discipline of the Ido Portal method. Build things with your hands. Understand systems from the inside. Stay capable.
What it demonstrates: Nothing yet. This is the one that is still becoming. The September demo flight is the first proof of concept.
Leitmotif¶
Every project here has the same structure.
Take something that seems inaccessible or absent. Build infrastructure for it. Document it so others can participate. Create the conditions for emergence rather than managing the outcome.
That is also how I approach documentation consulting. I do not write documents. I build systems that produce documents — and that can be maintained by the people who inherit them.
