Hack Agnostic Kit (HAK) started on Github

by James Sundquist

Hey all, I'm working out a series of scripts, or a "wrapper" if you will, to layer on top of an existing Linux installation with all the necessary tidbits to help a person be able to start hacking on their open source project immediately in their current hackerspace (while minimizing setup time and computer headaches). I'll post up a working script by the middle of next week and try to incorporate all feature requests. This can be portable, but for right now I'm focusing on Debian-based distributions (Mint, Ubuntu, #!, Tails, etc.) to get started. How will it work? Run a live CD such as Tails and run the wrapper to immediately set you up with all necessary tools and scripts. Save all the changes you like to persistent storage (a thumb drive or hard disk) so you'll never have to repeat the process. Code hosted on Github<https://github.com/sunjam/hak/wiki/Feature-Request>so you can vet and fork it. Is this for a specific hackerspace? No, my hope is that the idea will be incorporated by anyone needing a little assistance with using open source tools. I also see a lot of confused people who cannot get on the wireless without assistance in their local hackerspace. Why do I need it? Step into X hackerspace for the first time and get instant access to the internet, open the most recent class notes, print a document on the printer, and anything else you can imagine. How can I help? Submit your feature requests<https://github.com/sunjam/hak/wiki/Feature-Request>and code to Github. Also, spread the word to any person or space who may be interested.

[Articles of Association] Sugested change to values

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Thinking about hacking the values a bit based on our continued experience. What do folks think about adding this new value to guide us into the grayer, murkier, brighter, and wonderful future? "Value fairness and common sense over prolonged process and bureaucracy." You can see it here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association/Value_fairness And the diff: https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association%2FVa… // Matt

AMT visit today - status of Bay Area Coalition of Hackerspaces?

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, Went over to Ace Monster Toys today for the first time for their microcontroller meetup. Similar mix of first time visitors and people randomly hacking on other things interacting. Also went down and checked out their shop, definitely pretty well set up on the fabrication side. Anyone care to join for another visit to do some laser cutting and whatnot? What ever happened to the idea of a federated coalition? Would anyone else be interested in coming up with a scheme of being a member of multiple spaces? One theory just brainstorming would be to have an RFID key or something to track what proportion of time is spent at various spaces and allocate membership dues proportionately. I talked to them about applying their starving hacker rate to people with an existing hackerspace membership but the combined total would still be higher than necessary. Thoughts? Hol

Proposed bans for decision at next meeting

by Marc Juul

Two bans have been proposed at tonight's sudo room meeting. They are up for discussion on the mailing list for a week before we decide vote at next weeks meeting. Banning will require that 2/3 of the members present at next weeks meeting agree to the bans. The people up for bans are: * Ardeen (big read beard) * Sarah (short-haired lady) These people have been problematic in a few different ways, mainly in their use of the space to sleep and as a general living space even after being told firmly that their sleeping in the space is not ok. They are not sudo room members. -- marc/juul
