I visited the Bogotá hackerspace, Hackbo, a month or so ago, and chatted to
them a bit about how the space is working. It's a really nice hackerspace
-- in a residential block, but with four or so big well-equipped rooms, and
with a really busy community, and whiteboards full of really detailed
ongoing projects, which I sort of feel is the real metric of a great
hackerspace.
One of the projects that has shifting from being a prototype to being a
potential full-time work for a bunch of the key hackers is this:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hpsaturn/lumera-transform-your-camera-…
It's a linux-based plugin for Digital SLR cameras (if you don't see your
camera listed, ask, because they're adding them as they go) that gives you
bluetooth LE remote operation, background transfer to online picture
services via your phone or wifi. The hardware will be openhardware, the
code is FLOSS. The device is going to sell for $150 USD ($170 canadian --
they're working with a Canadian group to do the logistics).
Anyway, I just noticed that they're 3 days to go on their kickstarter, but
still have a way to go. I don't have any financial connection with these
guys or the hackerspace, but I try to plug good hacking projects when I
can. I think this'd be a fun gadget to have if you have a DSLR and are
interested in doing some connected messing with it, either with the
existing features of Lumera or extending it.
That's all!
Feel free to forward this around to any communities you think might be
interested!

anyone have any leads on used key cutting machines for omni commons? I'm
scanning craigslist, ebay, etc. most important to have a good coder, so we
can generate high-quality original keys for duplication.
thanks,

You accidentally hit reply-all, so I'm not sure how to respond except:
1) I'm actually not particularly trusting of industry or government, sorry
2) the part where I said "it would create social pressure to accept
whatever results" feels particularly relevant to me right now
hi everyone,
just a reminder that you and all your friends are invited to the women's
variety show taking place at sudo (in the ballroom, not inside sudo itself)
tomorrow night!
it's free and starts at 7:30PM.
more details here: https://sudoroom.org/upcoming-event-womens-variety-show/
i hope to see you all!

Hi all!
We are in the last stages of preparations to launch Omni's crowdfunding
campaign next weekend, and we need your help!
Please use this thread to brainstorm on perks we could offer, keeping in
mind that *experiences* are cheaper to produce and more interesting to
donors than shwag.
* Would any sudoers be interested in co-hosting maker workshops?
* How about making robot drawings (and recording the robot drawing it)
based on SVG images people send in?
* Can anyone bottom-line making 3D printed magnets? Or 3D printed something
or others?
* Marc and I are going to be putting together hackpacks <http://hackpack.me>
that people can buy for themselves or for us to donate to a teenager.
* Maybe we could offer a 'teleconference with a hacker'?
* Anything you can think of!
Fact of the day: 85% of successful campaigns raise 1/3 of their goal in the
first 72 hours. Please prep friends in your networks now for a donation
next week!
<3

Hi all,
I'm glad to see the JavaScript meetups resuming! While I've never been
able to attend, I like to refer people.
Is it okay if I post it on the Oakland Beginner Prorammers Support Meetup
Group (which I inherited recently)?
Cheers,
Anca.

I'm removing it, because nobody ever shows up to host.
I'll re-add it if someone can make an excellent case for why it should
remain!
