Ed Rippy Jr. <http://erippy.home.mindspring.com/> died Tuesday, November 1st after a long battle with lung cancer. He was a veteran activist, a sudoroom <sudoroom.org> member, the web master for the Oscar Grant Committee <http://www.oscargrantcommittee.org/>, very involved in Occupy Concord, an excellent writer, active in 9/11 issues & the fight against imperialism, and much, much more. Sunday at 1PM his friends will gather at Vinnie’s Bar & Grill <http://vinniesbar.com/> at 2045 Mount Diablo Street <https://www.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode&q=2045+mt+diablo…> in downtown Concord to celebrate his life and maybe raise a few bucks for his cremation, etc. There will be three great local bands, Blue Moonshine <http://bluemoonshinerocks.com/>, The Breedloves <http://www.the-breedloves.com/> & Celtic trio Sin Silver <http://www.sinsilverandtheavenue.com/>, as well as some BBQ, all for only a $5 cover. The event will go on until 8 PM. https://sudoroom.org/events/memorial-celebration-for-sudoer-ed-rippy/ https://occupyoakland.org/event/celebrate-life-ed-rippy-benefit-bbq-concert/ I've tried to step up and take over some of Ed's responsibilities for the Oscar Grant Committee's web site, I'm not superstitious just because he is my namesake (crossing himself violently even though he is an atheist, thank God). I might have room for a person or two if they show up at the Oakland Museum around 4 PM, some of us OO folks are meeting on the stairs there at 2 PM for the free day to see the Black Panther special exibit. https://occupyoakland.org/event/occupy-oakland-visits-oakland-musuem-black-… “Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living.” -Mother Jones & Not-So-Special Ed

24 to 20 gauge sheet metal sheets

by Trent Robbins

<https://www.linkedin.com/in/trentrobbins>Anyone know a source for some sheet metal? I need 4 sheets at about 24" by 14". The 14" dimension has some flexibility. Preferably galvanized and not stainless as it will be welded. I found a place with 4'x8' sheets but do not have a truck. Thanks, Trent

Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, and Oakland Makers

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, As some of you may know, I've been involved in the Nation of Maker initiative to create a national 501(c)3 umbrella organization for makerspaces. If folks from Sudo are interested in being more involved in this process, let me know, and we can get you in touch. Some of the ways you can help out would be by writing a letter of support on behalf of Sudo. Maker/hackerspaces around the country will also be organizing "Maker Meals" where they invite their neighbors to sit down over a meal or potluck. If anyone in Sudo would like to help organize such a "Maker Meal" together with CCL, please let me know! I don't think we have enough free energy to do one of these by ourselves right now, but we are definitely planning to write a letter of support. We're targeting all this for the week of November 15, when there will be a big announcement planned for the Nation of Makers initiative. The email I attached below has much more info on everything that is going on with Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, letters of support, etc. Along the same lines, I recently reached out to Oakland Makers to see if they were still alive. They were very active two years ago or so, with a ton of support from the City under then-mayor Jean Quan, but it seems they mostly went dormant for the past year. To my surprise I got an immediate email back from Hiroko from 25th Street Collective, suggesting we set up a conference call or meet up with Karen Cusolito from American Steel and Danny Beesley. If anyone would like to be involved in reviving Oakland Makers (and maybe put some more of our own stamp on it!), please let me know... Thanks!

[edit <https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Advanced_Introduction_to_GnuPG&acti…> ]Abstract GnuPG is a powerful tool. In this practical presentation, I will start with an overview of OpenPGP, the messaging protocol that GnuPG implements. Then, I will explain GnuPG's architecture, some good practices, and some neat tricks. This talk is specifically targeted at people who already have a basic understanding of how GnuPG works, and are interested in understanding what's under the hood.

Among other projects, he has contributed to GNU Hurd and GPE (the GNU Palm Environment). After g10code's highly successful fund raising campaign at the end of 2014 for GnuPG, he was hired by Werner Koch to work on GnuPG. During the past two years at g10code, Neal has implemented the new trust on first use (TOFU) trust model, and fixed GNOME Keyring to better interact with GnuPG, among other things.

small lipo battery

by Morgan Allen

Trying to slap a demo together for Hackaday SuperConf and I forgot to order the battery I need and won't be able to get one in time so hoping someone might have something I can borrow or buy. Looking for a ~110mAh battery similar to this. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13853 I think there are some small drones that use tiny lipos like that, maybe someone has an extra. Need something by Thur morning. Thanks

Who makes Robots?

by Cole Church

Hi all, I was referred to your group by a colleague. I work on photo shoots and we are looking to have a robot made for it. The image being shot is young people in a class room scanning the robot in a 3D printer. The shoot will take place in the bay area. Here are the basic requirements for it: Cannot be proprietary, must be unique Does not have to work (but must look like it does) Appropriate for high school age kids Be approx 12” high We are open to someone who already has one built or someone who can build one. We need it by next Friday. Please email me at cole(a)blueceiling.com <mailto:cole@blueceiling.com> if you are interested and we can discuss the cost of rental/building, details of the robot, etc. Thanks so much for your time! Hope to hear from some of you. Best, Cole Church
