Just when you think the world is closing in, all the cool hackerspace in
San Francisco are falling into shambles, and nobody understand...
Here's a feel good news item for the day!
101 Women Artists Who Got Wikipedia Pages This Week
Last Saturday, about 600 volunteers in 31 venues around the globe engaged
in a collective effort to change the world, one Wikipedia entry at a time.
In the United States, Canada, Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, and the
United Kingdom, in nonprofits and art schools, in museums and universities,
these people--mostly women--set out to write entries, uncredited and unpaid,
for the fast-growing crowd-sourced online encyclopedia.

Hey here's an open call for photography. I'm thinking of having an artist's

support ... the artists! Planning a male figure drawing group, cartoon
sessions jams, and more.

urban, lady-positive Instagram snaps. Bonus points for lady photographers,
first-timers, artists of Color, and youth artists.

Brown Bag Seminar: A Reality Game to Cross Disciplines
With Benjamin Stokes
Wednesday, February 12, 2014, 12:10 pm - 1:00 pm
107 South Hall
Educational and civic games are typically preparatory, teaching skills and information to be applied later. Yet the rise of reality gaming introduces a new possibility: that the game directly shapes real-world networks, even as it educates. Networks are a novel target for educational games, despite the vital importance of networks for educational attainment, securing jobs and even civic engagement.
Benjamin Stokes investigates how digital media foster civic engagement, informal learning, and activism. He is currently studying how mobile media and videogames can advance social justice by bridging online and offline participation. Previously he co-founded Games for Change, the branch of the serious games movement focused on social issues and nonprofit organizations. Most recently, he was an education program officer at the MacArthur Foundation in their portfolio on Digital Media and Learning. Benjamin has also led the development of original digital media properties: at the educational nonprofit NetAid, his team created digital games and an activist training website that engaged more than 150,000 youth in fighting extreme poverty. Benjamin is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Southern California in the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

Hi,
The Association of Professional Model Makers (APMM) conference in San Jose is looking for someone to give a 1-hour Arduino demo on 7-March or 8-March. In return you get a day pass, lunch, and keynote dinner.
I'd love to do it, but I'll be out of town (my panel got accepted at SXSW).
If you're interested, or know anyone who might be, please contact Sam, who's email is shown in her email, below.
Best,
Mitch.

Hello Mitch,
Bruce Willey recommended you as a potential presenter at our upcoming Conference in San Jose March 6-10 and said that you would be interested in doing a one-hour Arduino demonstration for us.
Our workshops take place on Saturday the 7th and Sunday the 8th, between 9AM and 5PM. Would you be able to do that for us? We can give you a day-pass to our conference, and include you in our workshop lunch or the keynote dinner that day (our keynote speaker is David Kelley of IDEO!).
Please let me know if this is something that piques your interest or fits your schedule.
Thanks much!

There is sawdust on the floor and on tools, the "keep this space clear" table top is not clear. And various other items are not put away.
Please do not do this, and if you see someone doing it, ask them when they plan to improve the space for others to use.

Hey, I just fixed a hack on the SudoRoom main page.
Someone is hacking the SudoRoom Wiki - I don't know who, I know this
probably happens often. Are there safety precautions?
https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Sudoroom&action=history
I undid the "hardcore jerkey action" - and I saw that someone also undid
this shortly before I went on the page.
Any idea wh'os doing this?
