Proposal: Request for sudo room financial alleviation

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings, Sudo Room is having some snafus with our bank, so we're currently unable to pay our shared utilities bill. We have been paying for the Omni's internet, totalling $135.93 to Sonic.net each month. For July-February, this totals $1087.44. Our current utilities bill is $255.35. Deducting our current bill from the total, this amounts to a standing debt of $832.09. While we would like to support the Omni by covering this, we are currently in a very tenuous financial position and may need to dip into this reserve. Is this amenable to the finance committee? We are planning a fundraising event, and several sudoers continue to work hard on booking and coordinating the rental of our common spaces (Omni made roughly $1000 from events this weekend). Gratitude to whoever paid a significant portion of this bill ($135) last week. Donations are hugely appreciated and really needed right now! If any sudoers would like to give one-time direct donations, follow the link on our invoices that are sent out monthly. They can be paid by any card. Current invoice in question: https://waveapps.com/p3tvww-j2ssqn <3 Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

It's important that it configured to be a static IP address. Do you know if it was? It looks like we haven't touched our router, it's still connected to the old uplink, so that will have to be migrated. Let's do that at a less high traffic time than Tuesday night and also wait to cancel Sonic service until we finish doing that?

New Internet

by niki

I guess we have new internet now! Someone from LMI came by looking for Marc. I'd like to ask people that if, in the future, you schedule a service like this you try to find someone to be here if you are not able to be, please. So anyway, let me know who I need to give the relevant information to. N

Who has our LMI customer login information? Did we make sure to get a static IP address? Next we need to hook this into our existing router. Thanks.

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!

Here is the recap of the last build night were we tested the LEDs under the resin. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Faire_Build_Night_2015-02-26 If you haven't seen it yet, the wiki page for the project is here. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Faire_2015 If you can't help us build, no worries, but please consider helping in these other ways: 1. lend/bring your projects, demonstrate your projects, and teach others you know at the show 2. work on projects at the show, and have projects for others to work on 3. spread the word about us needing help with the build and the show content Cheers!
