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

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

Digital Rights in Libraries Un/Conference at Noisebridge !

by April Glaser

Hi friends, I'm writing to let you all know about an un/conference at Noisebridge on June 29-30, Digital Rights in Libraries. You're all super invited, and we also have a call for volunteers (keep reading)! We've got some killer speakers lined up: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/digital-rights-in-libraries/digital-right… For more info, please check our our press release and poster that I've pasted below! Also, the Library Freedom Project has had some fun media lately (here <http://www.onthemedia.org/story/librarians-vs-patriot-act/?utm_source=local…> and here <http://www.thenation.com/article/206561/librarians-versus-nsa> and here <http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2015/06/03/usa_freedom_act_before_s…>), if you're curious. Additionally and importantly, we could use a few technology trainers to help with some of our open sandbox privacy tools sessions. We know a lot of librarians want to build some skills, and so in these sessions we were hoping to have ample technology trainers available to help participants learn as much as possible. The times we're looking for people to come by and help are: Monday, June 29 @ 2-3 Monday, June 29 @ 4-5 Tuesday, June 30 @ 2:30-3:30 Tuesday, June 30 @ 5:30-6:30 Let me know if you might be available or have any questions. Also let me know if you know someone else who might be interested. Or anything at all. Peace. And thanks a million. <3 Oakland. April --- DRiL *Librarians Convene With Leading Anti-Surveillance Advocates and Technologists In San Francisco to Defend Digital Rights â June 29-30, 2015* Librarians, technologists, and privacy activists and are gathering in San Francisco on June 29-30 to strategize about initiatives to protect reader privacy, reform digital lending, combat censorship, and champion access to information technology in light of emerging concerns over government surveillance, censorship, and other forms of electronic exploitation of personal data. The two-day event <https://libraryfreedomproject.org/digital-rights-in-libraries/digital-right…>, which will take place at San Francisco's iconic Noisebridge hackerspace, falls directly after the American Library Association's Annual Conference; it's also being held in San Francisco this year. Attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, who are leading lawsuits challenging the legality of the National Security Agency's mass surveillance programs, will present, along with experts on copyright and the future of digital lending from Creative Commons and the Internet Archive. Technologists from the Freedom of the Press Foundation (where Edward Snowden is a board member) and Mozilla will be onsite providing in-depth technology training at the hackerspace. The event also features librarians from a number of libraries, including the San Francisco and Oakland Public Library systems, as well as Oakland-based Hack the Hood, speaking on the challenges of providing access to technology and training for Bay Area youth. Librarians have long been working on the front lines of information activism and their communities' right to research. Whether by providing access to technology and the Internet, as well as free education, or by standing firm for over a decade as staunch opponents of the USA PATRIOT Act, librarians are at the grassroots of the Internet freedom debate and are uniquely plugged into serving the information needs of local communities, especially those that lack technological or financial resources. The conference is being organized by the Library Freedom Project, a recent grantee from the Knight Foundation that is a partnership among librarians, technologists, attorneys, and advocates to teach librarians about surveillance threats, digital rights, and privacy-protecting technology. The Nation Magazine recently featured <http://www.thenation.com/article/206561/librarians-versus-nsa> the work of the Library Freedom Project as a cover story. Â What: "Digital Rights in Libraries" Date: June 29-30, 2015 Where: Noisebridge hackerspace, 2269 Mission Street; San Francisco Website: https://libraryfreedomproject.org/digital-rights-in-libraries/digital-right… <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__libraryfreedomproject.…> Â *Contact:* Alison Macrina alison(a)libraryfreedomproject.org <mailto:alison@libraryfreedomproject.org> April Glaser april(a)libraryfreedomproject.org <mailto:april@libraryfreedomproject.org> -- 0x54FC570B
