This Friday! - The New Economy: Revitalizing our cash-free methods of exchange

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all! On Friday, July 19th we held our first POSSE [Potluck Orientation Skill-share Swap-meet Event] at 2141 Broadway, hosted by the BACE Timebank. Food was shared, friends were made, and all articulated things they needed and things they had to offer. We're planning to make this a monthly event on Third Fridays, and would love for this to be a collaborative project with The Public School! *This* Friday, we're having a co-presentation by BACE and EBBX [East Bay Barter Exchange], followed by an open discussion of how to design cash-free exchange systems. Bring some food and join us in cultivating a humane economy! * <http://sfbace.org/2013/07/29/the-new-economy-huddle/>* * * *The New Economy Huddle* Come join us for a public presentation and brainstorm for future events to usher in The New Economy. This Friday’s Huddle is being co-presented by BACE and EBBX–East Bay Barter Exchange. It will be an open format inviting input from members of our community for designing robust cash-free systems of exchange. We invite all to bring a dish to share in pot-luck and your thoughts for what ways would cash-free methods of currency inspire you the most. We look forward to your joining us– @ the Community Space of sudo room and The Public School 2141 Broadway@22nd *Note––entrance on 22nd Street freight elevator, stow your bike upstairs Friday August 2nd, 6-9pm http://sfbace.org/2013/07/29/the-new-economy-huddle/ *For an up-to-date listing of events held in the Commons of 2141 Broadway, please visit our collaborative calendar here: http://2141broadway.wordpress.com* ------- Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

by sanaking＠riseup.net

Hey all, better late than never? I remember some folks talking about setting up carpools/caravans awhile back,a quick perusal on the list doesn't turn up anything, and it was suggested to check on the list, so .. No pressure to reply, just thought I'd drop a line to checkin, as I'm writing this I realize the lateness makes all impractical, but,meh! Ok bye! <3

help determine future direction of sudo kids

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, just a reminder that sudo kids is still looking for folks who want to be involved in determining and building the future of this program. we are growing (more kids will be coming this tuesday!) and there are actually limitless opportunities for trying out different activities and ideas (i just view the children as test subjects for experiments on learning...everyone does that right?). contact me or ray if you want to do one-off or regular activities or if you want to be a part of coordinating and helping shape the future of the program. best, marina On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 5:27 PM, Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com>wrote: > hi everyone, > > you are once again invited to come do things with the awesome sudo kids > tuesday from 6ish to 8:30ish. want to do a group activity? teach really > brilliant kids something awesome? build a thing with them? help them build > a thing? we've done calligraphy, clay, mate-brewing, piano, radio, and > more. kids have expressed an interest in 3d printing and making videos. if > you want to do either of those things with us (whether tomorrow or sometime > in the future), or have an idea for another thing you'd like to do, be in > touch! > > additionally, ray and i have started working on concrete goals and desired > outcomes for the sudo kids program. we are doing this because a hackerspace > without kids is like a diy electronics project without a blinky light - > extremely sad. kids are natural hackers and if our role is to provide the > physical and community infrastructure to encourage people to keep building > and making and learning and exploring things forever, then kids are > naturally part of that equation :) additionally, having activities for kids > is a proven strategy to expanding our community. yes, we are operating from > the principle that if you hook a kid on a thing, that you will eventually > have an opportunity to speak with their parent. the good news is that we > are not selling stuff but selling the idea of making stuff and being in a > community of makers. finally, if you've never done stuff with kids before, > you may find the experience to be really different than what you'd expect > (i know i have). i continue to be extremely impressed and more or less > constantly verklempt at the insight and intelligence of the children we > work with. > > so, if you want to help coordinate activities and be a part of the cool > sudo kids organizing/future direction/expanding the program crew, (or are > just interested in learning more about what "helping coordinate sudo kids" > involves - it's not a lot), be in touch via email or just come on a tuesday > night. > > - marina >

There is Beer at the End Of The Tunnel

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Greetings! While Subiir believes in the free flow of alcohol with taste (aka beer) for everyone, we also acknowledge that sometimes, building up expectations to a joyous taste-explosion has its worth as well. We are pleased to announce that the drought of Subiir continues for 3 more weeks. And we are even more pleased to announce that in 3 weeks, not only will we release a batch of delicious ipa (batch #6 aka. BitLite), we too shall release a batch of delicious cream ale (batch #7 aka. Creamy Delight) at the same time. *What a time to be alive!* *Wait! There is More!* - *Open finances:* We're starting to track our expenses paid, donations received, and donations passed on to sudo room. its still work in progress. You can follow here: http://bit.ly/subiir all feedback appreciated - *New investments:* We want to acquire one more propane burner and one more turkey fryer, so that we can make two batches at once. Donations received from coming batches will go toward that. And if you have either of those that you are willing to part with, let us know. - *You Are Subiir:* We think it is sad our gear is only used every 3 weeks to brew subiir. We want to experiment with letting others brew on it. if you are itnerested in brewing your own beer on our setup, get in touch. - *Learn to brew:* On that note, our brew days are open to anyone and everyone. if you are interested in coming around to learn and hang out, get in touch and we will keep you in the loop of when we brew. The brewing of batch #8 will take place within a weeks time. That is all for now. it seems appropriate to quote the infamous Queen Lagunitas the MCXXXii: Beer speaks, people mumble. Cheers everyone, and make a great day, Morten on behalf of all of us

Clothes/textile printer cleanup

by karekareraisu＠gmail.com

Hey sudoers! So I compiled our clothes/textiles they can stay or be donated but I though it might be helpful to visualize how much we have. I can help donate them if there are no objections. The other pile is a stack of 7 printers that were labeled as jam monsters. Tom helpfully assembled into a standing desk station. While ergonomic we both agree that they may make a better tear down project for sudo kids or e-recycled. I don't want to leave these piles here for more then a day because I don't want to clutter the room. If no one has any objections I'll get them squared away by end of day Monday (think midnight). kerrie

I can help donate them if there are no objections. Most of the clothing is actually scrap fabric, so wouldn't be suitable for donating as clothing. I think we should sort out the wearable items first, so as not to waste the time of any shelters.

Video - Bio-Data, Bioinformatics and the Gears that Make Biological Machines Tick

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, Please find attached a video recording of Ron's talk from earlier today on: Bio-Data, Bioinformatics and the Gears that Make Biological Machines Tick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RnpkmgH40o Sorry for the light quality, we'll try to correct that for the next class The intersection of biology and computer science is showing tremendous potential. Literally thousands of data sources great and small are publicly available now. Come and enjoy a low key introduction to all the 'omes' - genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, methylomes, metabolomes, etc. We'll play with some of the more useful data sources, tools and biological pathways. No biology training is necessary - the talk will be accessible to anyone. Programming skills are useful, but not necessary. If you have a laptop, please bring it. We will try to look at data in the class and preview a couple of tools. Cygwin on windows machines, OsX or linux are useful here, but we can go over these at the time if needed. We will be designing a project for anyone who wants to go deeper and get more experience with Bioinformatics. Ron Shigeta PhD has been doing bioinformatics for 12 years in biotech in the east bay, before that he made biological information as a protein crystallographer.! -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php
