robot arm mounted cnc + a random pan tilt w/wire harness

by Brendan Reddy-Best

can i use this pan/tilt with wire harness thing I found on the workbench (it's stepper-motor driven belt system with full 360 motion )? I would like to build a 3d camera mount for the robot arm ... I'm drafting some ideas right now, I havent harmed the part, but I did remove it from the space sort of unthinkingly last night. additionally, matt showed me a cnc mill attachment in the space, so I (we?) would like to use that on the arm, too, if there's no objections. once I get some mock-ups i'll put the idea up on github and we can start integrating code!

Money for shakers?

by Adam Munich

Hi all, I had a conversation with the CEO of the Thiel foundation this weekend, and I learned that they've begun a new experiment involving the distribution of grants to organizations who are in some way changing the way things are done in this world, with favor towards STEM (undoubtedly due to Thiel's bias toward democratizing those fields). I mentioned that I've been doing my fellowship work at the Omni commons, and have described the place as it is - a haphazard collection of interesting collectives, and she took significant interest in that. Would this be a conversation the Omni fundraisers would like to continue? There could be good outcomes, given Sudo and CCL's presence and activity in the commons. (If so I'd also like to be an observer in the process, as this year I'll have to do a fundraising round of my own so any experience is valuable!) Cheers, -Adam

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] SUDO: macbook experts?

by max b

I've copied sudo-discuss on this email so that all of the sudo folks get this message. I think a lot of them aren't subscribed to the onmi emails. One useful thing to know would be what year/model macbook it is. It makes a really big difference in terms of how easy it is to open it up and dig around.
