Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Learning Shelter Hackathon at Freespace!

by rachel lyra hospodar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Saw this, passing it along, another potential hackerspace in SF, this one focused on teaching diy/hacker/maker skills to homeless folks and those in shelters! ~ ** What is the learning shelter? ------------------------------------------------------------ On June 1st, [freespace] fellow Marc Roth ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba3… ) shared his vision for the Learning Shelter: a shipping container outfitted with maker tools – 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, welders, plasma cutters and more – to serve as a skills training center for those living in homeless shelters. The Learning Shelter will also provide housing to program participants (30 at a time for a 90-day intensive). 43 days later, there are 5 shipping containers in the parking lot at 1131 Mission! HOW CAN YOU HELP? Join the Hackathon ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba3… ) this Friday from 7-10pm and Saturday 11:30am - 8pm to contribute your skills and address the following: * Branding/logo design * Creating a crowdfunding campaign * Making a website for the Learning Shelter * Designing curriculum for program participants * Brainstorming projects for participants to create * Sharing best practices for recruiting participants from local homeless shelters HOW ELSE CAN YOU HELP? We're looking for local leaders who work with the homeless to share their knowledge and experience, and provide insights to help guide your creativity. Contact: ilana(a)freespace.io (mailto:ilana@freespace.io) We want you to be fed. Can you help bring food Saturday? Please email kyle(a)freespace.io (mailto:kyle@freespace.io) RSVP on Facebook ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba34… ) and Eventbrite ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba34… ) to see the full schedule of events. _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss

Fwd: Cityracks Request

by Julio Rios

FYI: Some bike racks coming up sometime soon on 22nd St. Not sure it will help the safety issue much, but may help with overflow when space upstairs is limited. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> Date: Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 10:27 AM Subject: RE: Cityracks Request To: Diana and Julio <dinju.judi(a)gmail.com> Hi Julio,**** ** ** Sorry for the long delay.**** ** ** After going out there a couple of times, I concluded that the best location for racks was on 22nd St. Sites for four racks (accommodating a total of 8 bikes) were marked with white dots. In late May, we mailed the ground floor businesses and the property owner (per our usual process) and didn’t receive any comments. (We are also adding two more racks across the street in front of the Bruner’s Building.)**** ** ** The racks were added to a work order submitted to the Public Works crews who install them on June 7. There is currently quite a back log, so I apologize again for the delay. I can’t tell you when they will be installed L--it’s out of my control.**** ** ** The reason I opted against the Broadway location was because of the white zone/loading-unloading in front of the Sound Room and because removing and replacing the two U-racks there was a bit messy because the sidewalk is in such poor condition.**** ** ** Let me know if you have any questions.

I can't find an email about this, but I believe that we talked and agreed that the best solution was to remove the existing racks there, and replace them with multiple perpendicular racks. I thought you said it would take 3 months, but I'm pretty sure nothing has happened yet, so I wanted to ask and make sure it was still on your radar. Let me know if I need to do anything else.**** ** ** Thanks, Julio**** ** ** On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 9:27 AM, Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> wrote:**** Hi Julio,**** **** What about simply adding a bunch of sidewalk racks?**** **** No need to submit a request online.

For the moment, those plans are on hold.**** **** However, I was wondering if the CityRacks Program would be able to put some bike racks on the Southwest corner of Broadway at 22nd Street (on the Broadway side). This is a commercial area and, recently, hosts a new hackerspace called SudoRoom on the second floor of the building, where many members use their bicycles to get there, but are forced to bring the bikes upstairs due to the lack of safety and visibility below. This corner would be a great location to have a pool of bike racks similar to what is in front of the New Parkway theater on 474 24th Street. I'm not sure if those bike racks were put up under the CityRacks program, but wanted to explore what was possible around Broadway and 22nd. There is plenty of room, but I don't know what kind of process we'd have to go through.**** **** Let me know if I should just submit a CityRacks request on the website.**** **** Thanks in advance for any guidance you are able to provide.**** **** Julio Rios**** **** On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> wrote:**** Hello Julio, First, please accept my apology for responding so late to this request. Second, the CityRacks program installs racks in commercial areas only, not residential areas.

Rather than have to lock up our bikes inside the house each time we come in and out, we would like to have a rack outside the house so we could quickly lock up during the day. Friends and other neighbors would also be able to use the racks, since many also use bikes predominantly. learn_of_cityracks: other learn_of_cityracks_other: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------* *** **** ** **

Re: [sudo-discuss] sudo room access update

It appears a wire came loose between the raspi and the door buzzer. We're trying to figure out the right way to put it back. Unrelatedly, our internet connection is being saturated this afternoon by UDP packets which look suspiciously like either a DDoS or (more likely) somebody was torrenting earlier. The high network load has made door.sudoroom.org appear down, but it still works.

sudo room access update

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, the elevator was emergency locked again this morning. it is definitely a problem to have this continue to be an issue, but we are actively working on a solution (ie, coordinating with laurie and george to ensure that we're on the same page regarding the elevator access control system that we installed last week & the subsequent lack of a need to manually lock the elevator). thank you to everyone for their patience as we resolve these issues and thanks to everyone who's a part of the ad hoc phone tree that's been resolving the immediate access problem whenever it arises :) you guys are awesome! - marina
