Fwd: APE Workshops

by Romy Ilano

Any comic book artists at SudoRoom? I used to do a lot of comics, related stuff at the RPS Collective ... would like to draw more ties to comic book artists, tech and community and social activism. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andrew Farago <gallery(a)cartoonart.org> Date: Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 4:35 PM Subject: APE Workshops To: Volunteers 1 <gallery(a)cartoonart.org> Once again, the Alternative Press Expo has asked me to put together some programming for the convention. These one-hour workshops are a fun way for beginning and would-be comics creators to meet with a creator, pick up some new skills, ask some pressing questions and get the most out of their convention experience. I’m posting a copy of a previous schedule to give you an idea of what kind of material you can cover in a one-hour workshop. If you participated last year and would like to do something similar to last year’s workshop, that’s great. If you’d like to try something completely different, that’s great, too. If you want to recommend someone else, have topics that you’d like to learn about, or know of subjects that the typical APE-goer will want to learn about, lay them on me. Thanks very much for your consideration! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Electrical stages proposed

by Whitney Lawrence

Upon further consideration and based on input from our community I recommend we move forward in Stages. First Stage: Service the server area (dedicated 20A breaker), 3d print area and Museum with another 20A breaker. Thus satisfying the Fire inspection needs. Stage 2, phase 1: Install plugs along Eastern wall (3rd 20A breaker) Stage 2, phase 2: Install 240V service to Robot on Eastern wall. Other 240v needs? Stage 2, phase 3: Install overhead power (either using the 4th available position of the Balcony breaker or tying into the 3d printer/museum j-box) I need to know about the Robot power requirements. I looked through the manuals posted by Jake and have not found the amperage rating for the control box+robot. Im working under the assumption that she requires a 30A dedicated 240V supply and Jake will preform 3phase magicianary. The reason I ask is because I need to size the breaker accordingly, and we have limited real estate within the Balcony panel (located in the music room). Currently (no pun intended) there are 4 breaker positions available in the Balcony panel. I think that all 240V supply, be it 30A(robot?) or 50A(welder?) any exhaust fans, dust collection service or whatever will have to be supplied from, not the Balcony panel, but the sub that feeds the Balcony called "Above Stage" panel. I recommend having dedicated breakers for the 240V supplies. Unless we know exactly what will be powered, there is no way of passing the <50% amperage usage per plug requirement of the NEC. This is simply the best practice. Furthermore, this should not be an issue if we are using the "Above Stage" panel because according to notes on the panel, most breakers within are not being utilized- so there is plenty of space. I'll continue to draft the drawings based on what I have written here. Hopefully the package will be complete and ready for review by this Friday. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fgw5himtlmemiXReP-fG6rP-I2RoXsSP_MA… Thanks, Whit

Whitney, sorry I just saw this now, so I don't think it got on our meeting agenda. You think we should be allocating $1k to electrification rather than the $500 we agreed on last week - do I understand that right? > Additionally, I request that my August and > September dues be in the form of electrical design and installation. We definitely encourage people to consider their labor as dues if they are otherwise unable to pay. :) > Lastly, > because I am not a licensed electrician, these drafts need to be reviewed by > a professional prior to construction.

Once the draft is ready, I think we have two electricians in our circle so far: * the person Jake suggested, not C10 * Dave Pedroli (gone til september) Maybe we can ask one of them how permitting works?
