Building Blocks for Kids and Oakland Technology Exchange Technology Fair Sat Nov 21st

by max b

Hey folks, I wanted to let everyone know about this event that will be happening in Richmond this Saturday, Nov 21st. Sudomesh/peoplesopen.net is a co-sponser and will have a table there. I don't have a particularly good idea of what it will look like, but I do have a ton of respect for the work that BBK and OTX do and it'll be a really good opportunity to see what grassroots digital literacy work looks like. The fair will be at: Building Blocks for Kids 312 9th St, Richmond, CA 94801 (a pretty short walk from the BART station) 11/21/2015 10am - 1pm. We were asked to show up at 9am to prepare for tabling, etc. I'll be there to bottom line it, but if other folks want to show up and talk about sudomesh/peoplesopen.net I'd love the company.

THURSDAY: Design for imperfect manufacturing and challenges of making wireless optical system KORUZA

by Jenny Ryan

Stop by sudo this Thursday at 8pm and meet Musti, inventor of the open hardware optical wireless system KORUZA <http://koruza.net>. KORUZA is a 1Gbps wireless optical system for locations up to 100m apart, using an eye-safe infrared light beam. A low cost, open source and open hardware, wireless optical system, making the free space optical (FSO) technology available to masses and providing an alternative to Wi-Fi networks for RF spectrum congested urban areas. *Design for imperfect manufacturing and challenges of making wireless optical system KORUZA* Complicated and precise systems can be designed more smartly with imperfect tools and machines, demonstrated by the example of KORUZA, a low-cost wireless optical and open source open-hardware system for gigabit 100m wireless communication in urban areas. Motivation for developing this project comes from Wi-Fi, which is the most popular choice for creating low-cost networks these days. However, a large number of such networks fail to co-exist in urban environments due to RF spectrum congestion. KORUZA solves this problem by using a highly collimated optical beam for bi-directional communication. In this talk I will discuss the use of 3D printing for development of precise optical setup with imperfect parts, how to design a system using and re-purposing mass-produced off-the-shelf components, discuss impacts of setting up a global distributed experiment World Wide Koruza l experiment and observing the developed product in real-life. I will also demonstrate the latest KORUZA 1.0 prototype now suitable to make wireless optical gigabit links between buildings. *Bio:* Luka Mustafa is a Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow and working full-time on developing the wireless optical system, KORUZA, at Institute IRNAS Rače in Slovenia, which he founded in 2014. He is also working on his PhD at University College London. For the past year he has led a keen young team at IRNAS to develop open hardware manufacturing solutions ranging from precise 3D printing of plastics and other more unusual materials to large-scale CNC and plasma cutters for heavier metalwork, innovating on the use of optical fibres for these applications. He promotes and deploys open wireless networks with the "wlan slovenia" project, manages national and international wireless backbones and contributes to several open-hardware and electronics projects worldwide. He has wide experience interning on projects from sound-systems to particle accelerator control systems.

#ISO parking space, will donate $50 to Omni.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I am going in a trip from Nov. 3rd to the 11th and I have no place to park my car for that length of time. If someone in the list living near BART would allow me to park in their driveway or similar; between Richmond to SF Airport I would donate $50 to Omni (https://omnicommons.org/donate.html). It will make me happier knowing that I am donating that money Omni, besides that it will way cheaper than paying the airport! I would share the receipt of my donation with you. Many thanks in advance, Daniel p.s. please feel free to email me directly to my email or ask me for my number if you prefer to call. Thx! -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Sudomesh General Meeting Tomorrow, Tues Oct 27th - We need node hosts!

by max b

Our last Tuesday of the month general meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday October 27th at the Omni! We've been busy alpha testing the network and have been getting some promising results! More info on that process can be found here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/Blog#Alpha_Testing_Network We're especially interested in finding a handful of new folks who would want to host nodes. If you're willing to share some of your home bandwidth, generally reliable, and interested in our project, it's a great way to learn about the network while helping us out a lot with very little initial investment! If you're able to email me in advance of the meeting letting me know that you're interested in hosting a home node, that would be especially helpful, but if not that's ok too. We take notes of our meetings (which everyone is encouraged to check out even if you're not in attendance) here: http://pad.sudomesh.org Feel free to add agenda items if there are things you want to bring up/ask/etc. We're also generally on IRC on freenode servers in channel #peoplesopen.net For information on how to join, check out https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh#Join_Us Hope to see you there!

IDEA: How to bring bits of money to Omni. Easy Way.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All! Straight to the point: Instead of going to buy a new/used piece of furniture or whatever item from a store, one should ask in their Collecive and or the Omni email list(s). So if a member has it, then the two parties involved will decide the amount of money that the person receiving the item should donate to Omni. This idea is not inclusive to items, it could include services. For example (a real example): I am going in a trip for 11 days (Nov 3 - 11), and I have no place to park my car for that length of time. If I use the parking lot at the airport, it will cost me $18 a day making it a total of $198 plus tax. But, I would be happier if someone in the list living near BART would allow me to park in their driveway or similar; from anywhere in Richmond to North Oakland, or from SF to the SF Airport so that I would donate $50 to Omni. The person doing the monetary donation could do it in person or use the any of these methods online: https://omnicommons.org/donate.html What are your thoughts? Many thanks for reading this email. Daniel p.s. i will send another email with my real #ISO request as an example of what I mean, and perhaps I get some replies. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
