March 2015 - sudo-discuss

by Patrik D'haeseleer

FYI, I moved a bunch of stuff that got pushed into CCL during the Sudo cleanup last week back into Sudo. Including a bunch of wood, some slabs of countertop marble/granite, and two black trunks that were blocking the fire exit. Is all the random junk piled up in front of the vending machines supposed to get recycled / disposed off? I would greatly appreciate if someone could take care of that. Thanks! Patrik

Arduino For Total Newbies workshop 29-April

by Mitch Altman

There's still seats available for my fun and popular workshop -- a week from today! Arduino For Total Newbies Sunday, March 29th, 1pm - 4:30pm. Anyone can learn. All welcome! All ages. Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested. photo from the first Arduino For Total Newbies workshop at Noisebridge Learn all you need to know to make cool projects with Arduino! You've probably heard lots about Arduino. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a TV-B-Gone remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you. Summary: What: Arduino workshop for total newbies, using TV-B-Gone remote controls as an intro example project When: 1:00pm to 4:30pm, Sunday, March 29th Where: Noisebridge map (including where to push the buzzer) Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun learning Arduino. Ages 10 to 100 Max #: 50 participants -- This workshop will fill up, so please arrive early! -- Precedence given to those who register in advance at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Cost: $35 -- includes everything you need! And you get to bring your Arduino TV-B-Gone home with you. Optional: $20 communications/programming cable -- (some will be available to use for free during the workshop). Instructor: Mitch Register for the workshop: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Optional: Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it. Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Description: Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well. This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino. Taught by Mitch Altman. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can. Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original TV-B-Gone for Arduino. Itinerary: Intro to ArduinoVery short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught well over 50,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Evil Mad Scientist: DiavolinoNow that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine! And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available after the workshop. You are now ready to download and hack zillions of Arduino projects that are available for free online! Best, Mitch.

lighting options

by Jake

so i guess sudoroom (and CCL too probably) need some new lights, since the flourescents are failing. Home Despot sells 11-watt "warm white" bulbs for $9 each, which would be a good idea if we had regular lamp sockets to screw bulbs into... http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cree-60W-Equivalent-Daylight-5000K-A19-Dimmable-… but china can always do better. I looked on Ali Express and sorted by customer satisfaction, looking for LED lighting in "downlights" which suggests lamps shining downward? these look good but the seller rating is only 97.4%: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High-Quality-Aluminum-9W-15W-21W-27W-45W-LED… they seem to be "16 to 21" watts for $6.95 including shipping. They offer "warm" and "cold" flavors so we could just get a mix of the two kinds, for something in the middle when they're all on. here is the search i was doing: http://www.aliexpress.com/category/200002289/led-downlights.html?site=glo&i… this one is also a good price, and the seller rating is higher (98.1%) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/21W-Antifogging-Epistar-led-downlight-AC85-2… ultimately i have higher confidence in the quality of something we buy from Cree at Home Despot, but I think we should give China a chance and buy a few of the "16 to 21 watt" ones and see how they compare. For reference, Cree (a reputable company) and other LED bulbs sold at Home Despot are called "60 watt replacement" bulbs while actually using 9 to 11 watts. The light fixtures presently in Sudoroom and CCL each have two 75-watt flourescent bulbs, for a total of 900 watts of light in the bocce ball room when they're all working. That suggests that 150 watts of LED lighting would be equivalent, which would cost about $60 from the first aliexpress link i provided. These lights just have wires coming out, so we would perhaps attach them onto the metal structures that are presently holding flourescent lights for simplicity, until we come up with something better. -jake

Great deal on lockers for CCL, Sudo, Omni

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Just saw these on CraigsList. I'll be out of town this weekend, and don't own a truck anyway, but it would be awesome if someone could arrange to pick these up in Alameda. $90 for three 3x5 racks of 1fx1ft lockers. Not entirely clear whether the $90 is for all three racks, but even at $90 a piece this would be a steal! I'm happy to personally pay $90 for all three (in which case I'lll donate one to the Omni), or $90 for just one rack for CCL. My eternal gratitude and 2000 Biohacker Credits (*) to whomever volunteers to pick them up! http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/fuo/4941576885.html Patrik (*) Worth 2 beers

Sorry I haven't been around much recently. Some things have come up and I don't have nearly as much time as I used to. Unfortunately, this means I can't be around for newbie night anymore.

Lost USB Memory Stick with Important files

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I lost a USB memory stick that contains very important files. On Saturday (March 14th) in the afternoon I stopped by Omni to do some computer work, but since my laptop was running out of space, I transferred a lot of files into a 32GB or 64GB (cannot remember exactly) memory stick (that later I put in my pants front small pocket), so that I could have some extra disk space. I left the OMNI about 7:00PM. I believe I may have dropped it at the time that I was looking for food at the fridge. I believe it was there, because right after getting food at the OMNI I went straight to Ed's place. It was at Ed's place when I tried to retrieve it and I realized I have lost it. Please someone pass this email to the OMNI list if possible. Many thanks in advance, Daniel

ATTENTION ALL SUDOERS: We are planning a deep cleaning/purging of all unnecessary clutter! Who: Everyone and you! When:* Mar 14-15 (Sat & Sun) @ 10am - 10pm* Where: Sudo Room in Omni Commons, 4799 Shattuck, Oakland, CA 94609 *Who says what's trash and what's worth keeping?* This will be up to the cleaning crew's judgement unless claimed and safeguarded IN PERSON (no hordes of emails saying "hey I've got a thing on this one shelf!"; though availability and mobility will obviously be considered). SO... be sure to gather any personal items before the flush! And/or be present during the flush to have a say in what gets tossed and what stays. *When is this happening?* March 14-15. We will begin assembling a 'To Be Flushed' pile on Saturday and it should ideally be disposed of on Sunday afternoon. *But I don't have anywhere to put all of my things!* sudo room is not a storage facility! Personal storage space is addressed via lockers in the back of the space. Remember that sudo room's official stance is that: "Note: no personal property should be stored in sudo room unless a system for personal storage can be provided by sudo room." https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits meaning you need to label your things for use, use a locker, or accept that your personal belongings may be hacked or removed without notice. *Why are we throwing away such perfectly hackable things?* While many things are useful, let's get beyond the mentality that "I could totally use this one thing in this one instance!" when the reality is this thing doesn't get touched for months, if ever. Let's make sudo a more usable workshop! *Cleaning crew so far (who to contact):* Matt Senate, Jenny Ryan, Connor Hogan, ... *rad flyers by Matt -Connor

Oakland Renewalable energy accelerator content for thin film solar designs

by zaki＠manian.org

Thoughts this might be of interest to the sudoers.... My friend, Daniel Roesler(Daniel Roesler <diafygi(a)gmail.com>), has a startup in the SfunCube solar accelerator, and he mentioned a contest that SfunCube is hosting: http://www.thinfilmsolarawards.com/ Apparently, China's Hanergy bought a US thin film solar company and are now throwing $600k in cash prizes out there for concept products using thin film solar. SfunCube is handling the US promotion of the contest, but it's been pretty low key so far for how much money it's giving out.

Can anyone show someone the basement today at 4pm?

by Ryan

I'm supposed to be showing someone the basement at 4pm for a hackathon, but my shoulder is really messed up and I'm not feeling well. Is there anyone who can show someone around the space for this today? I'd prefer not to have to cancel on her.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Extension cords?

by Sarah Pritchard

Sorry for the confusion everyone. I copied and pasted something from an email, and clearly I don't speak electrician. ;) Basically, we'll take whatever you've got extension cord wise. Leave them in the ballroom for us if you've got some, and label the equipment that belongs to you. Cool?

Oakland Power Projects launch (alternatives to police) Wed. Mar 11 6:30p

by Julio Rios

Friends, Critical Resistance is launching their Oakland Power Projects, working on finding alternatives to calling the police in Oakland. I think some of you may be interested in being involved. I am not directly involved in this working group, but I will be attending. Pass it on to interested parties too. It's this Wednesday, and I know there are other things going on, but hopefully some of you can attend. I can do a quick report back at next week's CDC meeting. Much love, Julio ------------ *The Oakland Power Projects Launch* *Wednesday March 11, 6:30-8:30pm* *at Qulture Collective 1714 Franklin St, Oakland (two blocks from downtown 19th St BART)* Critical Resistance Oakland is launching the Oakland Power Projects, an alternatives to policing initiative that engages Oakland residents to build community power and wellbeing without relying on the cops. CR Oakland has been hard at work fighting against the violence of policing and for community self-determination for more than 10 years. Join us in this next phase as we erode the power of policing by investing in the real resources and practices we need. Learn more and get involved on Wednesday March 11. *ABOUT THE FIRST PHASE of THE OAKLAND POWER PROJECTS:* We have talked with residents across the city about their experiences with police and about their dreams for making Oakland healthy and strong. Hearing that access to health resources not linked to policing was a recurring theme in these conversations, Critical Resistance then reached out to community health workers. CR members talked with emergency room doctors, community medics, community clinicians, and herbal healers and asked them what they thought Oakland residents needed to know about staying healthy and what kinds of resources they would like to see developed in the city. >From that information, we’re building our first power project to work with people to build skills and confidence in addressing some health concerns while decreasing people’s contact with the cops. Community convenings are one way to test out what we’re learning, get feedback on our direction, and hear new ideas about how to make our work stronger. We use these gatherings to help think about what works (or doesn’t) in different neighborhoods, with different age groups, and across race, gender, ethnic, and class differences, and to make adjustments to help make the Oakland Power Projects relevant. We need you! Help the Oakland Power Projects take shape. Join us on Wednesday, March 11 to get plugged in. *************************** SUPPORT CR TODAY! Every donation - big and small - is vital to sustaining CR's fight to end the prison industrial complex. Go to: https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/criticalresistance, or mail checks to Critical Resistance, 1904 Franklin Street, Suite 504, Oakland, CA 94612. Thank you for your contributions to this struggle. ***************************

Oakland Public Library in need of digital literacy trainers

by April Glaser

Hi again, Please allow me to add one more opportunity for sudoers to help meet the technology needs of our neighbors: work with patrons at the Oakland Public Library learn basic digital literacy skills, like word processing, Internet browsing, apply for jobs, formatting etc. Or propose to teach a workshop series on the basics of setting up a website, graphic design, hardware hacking, programming basics, or any other skill that you'd like to share. They really need people to come in once a week to help patrons find their way around online and get access to basic services. And the librarians organizing it seem very flexible and enthusiastic. To get get started, please fill out this interest form: http://oaklandlibrary.org/sites/default/files/uploads/OPLVolunteerApplicati… And here's a description of the call for tech trainers that they posted online: http://www.prelive.volunteermatch.org/search/opp1714947.jsp I'm doing it! If you have questions, you can email Sara DuBois: sbubois(a)oaklandlibrary.org Yours, April -- 0x54FC570B

Arduino For Total Newbies workshop, Sun 29 March

by Mitch Altman

I'm giving my most popular workshop again: Arduino For Total Newbies Sunday, March 29th, 1pm - 4:30pm. At Noisebridge. photo from the first Arduino For Total Newbies workshop at Noisebridge Learn all you need to know to make cool projects with Arduino! You've probably heard lots about Arduino. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a TV-B-Gone remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you. Summary: What: Arduino workshop for total newbies, using TV-B-Gone remote controls as an intro When: 1:00pm to 4:30pm, Sunday, March 29th Where: Noisebridge map (including where to push the buzzer) Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun learning Arduino. Ages 10 to 100 Max #: 50 participants -- This workshop will fill up, so please arrive early! -- Precedence given to those who register in advance at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Cost: $35 -- includes everything you need! And you get to bring your Arduino TV-B-Gone home with you. Optional: $20 communications/programming cable -- (some will be available to use for free during the workshop). Instructor: Mitch Register for the workshop: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160… Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it. Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Description: Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well. This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino. Taught by Mitch Altman. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can. Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original TV-B-Gone for Arduino. Itinerary: Intro to ArduinoVery short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught well over 50,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Evil Mad Scientist: DiavolinoNow that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine! And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available after the workshop. You are now ready to download and hack zillions of Arduino projects that are available for free online! Best, Mitch.

Trainers needed: digital rights in libraries unconference

by April Glaser

Good morning y'all, I am jazzed to announce that on June 29-30 the Library Freedom Project is hosting a two-day unconfernce, right on on the heels of the ALA annual conference in San Francisco. The best part: it's at Noisebridge! https://libraryfreedomproject.org/ We have all kinds of amazing folks confirmed to speak - groups like the ACLU, Hack the Hood, the Internet Archive, EFF, journalists, and of course, some incredible librarians from across the country working towards projects of social justice and political change. We need tech trainers to help work with participants to learn digital privacy tools, the way surveillance works, as well as other technology issues relevant to libraries. If you're interested in sharing your skills, please email me off-list with the following information: 1. Are you available for an hour slot in the early afternoon (say, 12-3:30) or late afternoon (3:30-7) on Monday, 6/29 or Tuesday, 6/30? We're getting started each day around 1, done by 7. 2. What technology skills or themes are you most familiar with and would like to share with librarians to use locally? Please list anything you'd be able to help with, for example: email encryption, mobile security, getting a more trusted email address, VPNs, migrating from proprietary software, xmpp and OTR, How does tracking work?, Tor, anything else fun? 3. Have you conducted a tech training or skill share in the past that you think would be useful for a librarian community? Thanks a million. All my best, April -- 0x54FC570B

La Commune Stuff

by niki

Hey all! La Commune is trying to clear away stuff that's been stored back by the West wall so that we can really push forward on plans for the cafe. If you have anything stored back there, please note that it should be removed asap or it risks being thrown away. There's a compressor back there with a note on it saying not to throw it away - does anyone know where this compressor belongs? I will move it out of La Commune today and if it's not claimed by the weekend, I will make plans to get rid of it. Also - when we bought all of that metro shelving from John, La Commune paid for 4 units, I believe ($200). The other 4 were for FNB if I'm not mistaken. There's only one in La Commune right now so I'll be looking to reclaim the other three within the next couple of weeks. Just a heads up - if you've been using one of the metro shelves you may want to relocate anything being stored on it. Lastly - Door shifts! Just want to ask anyone working a door shift (and ask the folks who are coordinating these to communicate to others not on this list) to please respect the space behind the La Commune counter. Also, during the day there are usually not people here to introduce new people to the space and whoever is at the La Commune counter ends up performing this work. Most of the time it's alright but I'm wondering if maybe it makes sense to have another table or desk in the front that is the front door shift desk in order to differentiate between La Commune and the rest of the Omni? Just a thought to throw out for your consideration! Love! Niki

HAXLR8R incubator program

by Mitch Altman

Amongst other cool things, I volunteer as a mentor for HAXLR8R, a 3-month incubator progam. Groups that are accepted into the program for their cool hardware project idea: * receive some tens of thousands of dollars in return for a small percentage of their company * live in Shenzhen China for 3 months * get workspace and access to the way cool tools at the HAXLR8R facilities * get training from a wide variety of volunteer mentors (who are professionals with diverse experience) * get help with funding and starting a business * get connected to all of the resources necessary to make their project into a real product in the market. Everything you need. It's pretty awesome. At the end of the 3 months, everyone goes to San Francisco for the big Demo Day, with lots of media attention. Many successful (and very different) products have come from HAXLR8R, including Spark, and Nomiku. If you have a project that you would like to turn into a product, and make a living doing what you love, maybe HAXLR8R could be helpful for you. The next 15 project groups (HAX 7) moves to Shenzhen (for 3 months) starting in *July*! The application deadline: *May 23*. Funding: up to *$100,000*. If you apply early, your chances of getting accepted are higher (less competition). Your project doesn't need to be perfect (or anywhere close) to apply. APPLY FOR HAXLR8R here: http://www.haxlr8r.com/ Please feel free to ask me any questions off-list. Best, Mitch.
