Hi Phebe,<br /><br />I think everything on your list except a functioning spare RPi should be at the space and available for you to use - sometimes though, micro usb cables require some digging, so you could also power it from the GPIO pins if you don't find one within 5 minutes or so. As for the wall bracket, if you go for one of the working monitors that has a vesa mount and drill+countersink 4 holes in a piece of plywood and thread matching machine screws through the holes into the monitor, then you can attach that piece to the wall with wood screws any which way. this would be great right where the stairs come down into sudo room!<br /><br />cheers,<br />Hol<br />

<div dir="ltr">Hello,
<div> </div>
<div>A project that I had wanted to build for myself, is a wall mounted google calendar display. At first I thought that I would need to work it out from scratch but then I googled and found that someone had already done it.<br />
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Wall-Mounted-Google-Calendar/?ALLSTEPS">http://www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Wall-Mounted-Google-Calendar/?ALLSTEPS</a></div>

<div>I would love to make one for the Sudo Room / Omni to display the Omni Calendar. It is important for people who visit during the day to be able to know what events are going on. I think it would increases the community involvement with the space. We could even set it up to alternate display of the calendar with posters from the different groups or a short comic explaining the safer spaces policy.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The items listed for making this are:</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 22.1000003814697px;">Equipment you will need</span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 22.1000003814697px;" />
<ul style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 9px 25px; list-style-position: outside; color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 22.1000003814697px;">
<li style="line-height: normal;">Home network (wireless if you can't run a cable to the Pi)</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">Raspberry Pi (I've used the model B)</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">SD card 2GB or larger</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">AC Adaptor (I used a USB wall charger for mobile phones check here <a href="http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Power_adapters">http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals#Power_adapters</a>)</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">Micro USB cable</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">USB keyboard and mouse</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">USB wireless adaptor (MAKE SURE IT IS COMPATIBLE OUT OF THE BOX <a href="http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters">http://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters</a>)</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">HDMI cable</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">Wall mountable HDMI capable monitor or any monitor with some kind of HDMI converter</li>
<li style="line-height: normal;">Wall bracket for your monitor</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know that some of the things donated to the space are available for projects like this one. Are the monitors available for use? Is there any extra / leftover Raspberry Pi's? I am willing to buy/ dumpster dive for items that are needed for this project and not already in the space. I just want to start by asking what is already here that I can use. If you want to build this with me, then send me an email.</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">PS - The Aperture Science sign someone was building looks really cool. I would love to talk to you about how you made it.</span></div>
