write a letter at Noisebridge, and help free Syrian open source coder Bassel Khartabil

by Danny O'Brien

Niki Korth of the Free Bassel campaign writes: December 10th 2014 is Bassel Khartabil's 1000th day in prison in Syria. A self taught programmer and open source enthusiast, he started a hacker space in Damascus and helped to found Creative Commons Syria. He was working to empower his community in Syria through the ethos of the open community and making culture, and in light of this, was arrested. We are holding a letter-writing event for Bassel to mark his 1000th day, call for his release, show our support, and keep his story alive. Are you out of practice with writing letters? Don't worry, we can help. In addition to helping you brainstorm, we'll have pre-written letters to sign, as well as templates to get you started if you need. All are welcome to drop in for any portion of the event. We'll provide envelopes, postage stamps, pens and paper, food and beverages, although you are welcome to bring any of these items to share! **Please bring a laptop if you prefer to type your letters** Event details:: Place: Noisebridge Hackatorium (the tables in the main space) Date: Wednesday 10 December Time: 6-9 pm Read more about Bassel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassel_Khartabil http://freebassel.org/campaign/

special dual-link DVI adapter needed for 30" display - help?

by David Keenan

$99: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dv… Plugging directly into a 'normal' DVI adapter ie single-link DVI will not support the display's native resolution of 2560x1600. Single-link adapters will instead deliver a maximum of half the supported resolution, 1280x800. Single-link adapters include the typical Apple-style DVI>MiniDP adapter dongle most are used to using.. See: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201927 So if anyone feels like giving the video group a christmas present of this pricey adapter cable, that'd be really great! It would be kept with the monitor. Best, David

holy shit! Erik Strals' 3D scans of ballroom & Sudo Room!

by David Keenan

The amazing human Erik Strals, of Immersio, 3D-scanned the ballroom & Sudo the other night. It took him quite a long time and was a labor of love. The results are in and they are SO cool. I love this human! He even offered to come back and help do more of the building! yay! Yippee! This will be so useful for our architectural / permit work especially too! So great - Thank you Eriks!! >From Eriks: *1)* *Here's the 3d scan viewer for the ballroom:* *https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=f2tZhjtaAQZ* <https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=f2tZhjtaAQZ> *Here's the "workshop" (where you can measure things and write comments):* *https://my.matterport.com/models/f2tZhjtaAQZ* <https://my.matterport.com/models/f2tZhjtaAQZ> *Here's Sudoroom and Counter culture labs:* *https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=9JVcHS4y7aY <https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=9JVcHS4y7aY>* *and the workshop:* *https://my.matterport.com/models/9JVcHS4y7aY <https://my.matterport.com/models/9JVcHS4y7aY>* *2) Please forward along to the groups who might be interested in seeing them! And hopefully you guys find uses for it. Please let me know if you do find uses.* *Also, it would be nice to get some recognition ;) * *3) Otherwise, I can do some more scans in the future, probably next month around the same time.* *4) Please also forward this to Mark (don't remember last name, he had a beard), who was the first person I coordinated with within Sudo Room.* --

Event in CCL tonight at 7pm.

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi fellow sudoers, We'll be hosting a private event for members of the Real Vegan Cheese team and some of our IndieGogo donors in CCL this evening, starting at 7pm. We'll be doing a tasting of some existing vegan cheeses (the nut and soy-based varieties). I would prefer not to have random walk-ins during the event, but I expect there may be some leftover cheeses and beers to taste afterwards. Thanks! Patrik

The landlord had a video surveillance system, so it was moot. > PS: are there any particular security needs that La Commune needs help with > ASAP? Yes, securing their books after-hours.

CFP: International Commotion Mesh Wireless Projects
