Update: tonight's Sudoroom meeting has formally banned Egon for safe space reasons. Although Omni's policies require a conflict resolution process on paper, I strongly feel this is an opportunity to carve out exceptions to that rule. There were a lot of notes taken. Here they are: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2015-06-10

Last minutes to become a Founding Member of CCL!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Our Kickstarter campaign closes in minutes - 10:34 PST, to be precise. *This is your very last chance to sign up as a *Founding* Member, or to get one of our other amazing rewards. * *https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1836537355/counter-culture-labs-your-biohacking-and-citizen-s* <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1836537355/counter-culture-labs-your-b…> We've already reached our $30K target, but we are still collecting donations towards our stretch goal: a -80 freezer to store cultures, plasmids, strains, etc.. A -80 freezer makes sure that the project you're working on today will still be around for people to build on next year, or five years from now. Our plan is for this to become a resource for the whole community, so we will be happy to store archival collections from BioCurious and other DIYbio labs. We'll be one of the community's distributed backup nodes, as it were. Support your friendly local biohackers and mad scientists! 28 minutes to go and counting... Patrik

Joe, it sounds like he flat out lied to you. He makes a member feel unsafe and is not welcome until that issue is resolved. That's the only story anyone needs to know at this point. Our policies are very clear about that.

help with laser cutting (& design) ?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE <http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time. Anyone able to give me a hand? Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice, steaming away. Would look awesome! I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so the base may need to be removable. If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood <http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>. Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice plywood? Patrik

Fwd: Wikimedia-SF Digest, Vol 76, Issue 2

by Vicky Knox

For the Wikipedia + library nerds in the house. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <wikimedia-sf-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Date: 2015-06-09 15:52 GMT-07:00 Subject: Wikimedia-SF Digest, Vol 76, Issue 2 To: wikimedia-sf(a)lists.wikimedia.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 09:53:40 -0700 From: Sylvia Ventura <sventura(a)wikimedia.org> To: wikimedia-sf(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] ISO Wikipedians to train staff of SFPL's new Teen Tech Center Message-ID: <CAPf9N=xnHM1-rmZM4m=PNnNOaeQd+8FF=ie7D2ciH5c1js_AYw(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hello Bay Area fellow Wikipedians, The San Francisco Public Library and the Mozilla's HIVE Learning Networks are launching a new Teen Tech Center in SF called The Mix. The Hive Learning Network is a global community effort of Youth Servicing Organizations led by the Mozilla Foundation. The HLN champions digital skills and web literacy through connected learning. They have a presence in 11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and growing fast with 10 new cities to launch by end of 2015. This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a viable mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help build future community of Wikipedians. The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth navigate and use our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This program will be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s) to train their staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in their program. If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via email, I can share more details. The Mix launches next Wednesday June 18th - ideally we would like to have a Young Wikipedian's in Training booth for back to school - sept 2015. Thank you!

I'm not sure our universe contains big enough N's or O's to respond to this appropriately.

Hello! Brainbot is looking to hire a hardware engineer! All experiences levels welcome to apply.

by Lily Wang

Hey everyone, I'm Lily at Brainbot! We're making a wearable mindfulness device that vibrates when you are stressed or distracted, using awareness of your real-time HRV signals to help guide you back to a place of calm and focus. We're based in San Francisco and working on our fourth prototype design. We've raised some angel funding and in July we'll join HAX - a hardware accelerator based in Shenzhen, China - for a three-month program to rapidly prototype and go to production on our device. After the program we'll be back in San Francisco to launch! We're looking for a great hardware engineer to come along on the ride - we offer a lower salary than Apple but substantially more equity for the right person - and the chance to create something from scratch at the earliest stage. Send us an email at team(a)brainbot.me if this sounds like something you might love to do. We're particularly looking for some combination of the following interests/skills/experience: Arduino prototyping Biosensors Embedded systems Digital signal processing Rapid prototyping Manufacturing Soft goods and industrial design PCB layout and design Mindfulness or meditation practice Thanks for reading. Let us know if you have any questions! --Lily
