#Jan25: 3 years later. An educational day long program on #Egypt

by tahmina mahrzad

#Jan25: 3 years later. An educational day long program on #Egypt https://www.facebook.com/events/424246587705844/ Dear friends and supporters, As many of you probably know, the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution is coming soon less than 2 weeks from now. We are hosting a full day educational program to mark the anniversary of the ongoing Egyptian revolution, it's a collaboration between me and local organizers and supporters here in the San Fransisco Bay area. In Egypt, the 25th of Jan this year is going to be a day of action against the continuity of military rule and the atrocities committed by the coup regime. The program will start from 3 pm and will be all night long until the last person leaves, so you're welcome to stop by any time! Program details will include but not restricted to: -Film screening of rare footage highlighting different stages of the Egyptian struggle. -Skype conversations with Egyptians in Egypt and abroad to hear their perspective on the situation. - A talk by Shimaa Helmy, an eyewitness to the Egyptian movement who's currently in Oakland, CA. - An open forum and a Q/A session on the state of affairs in Egypt since 2011 and up to date. Other activities will be included soon and added to the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/424246587705844/ The event is hosted by the Sudo Room hacker space 2141 Broadway St, Oakland, California 94612 I'm not sure for how long I will be in the US and I'm trying to do as much as I can here before I have to go back home. I will appreciate it if you came by or at least spread the word about the event. Much appreciation, Shimaa Helmy http://shimaa-helmy.tumblr.com/

Copwatch Radio Scanner

by Max B

Hey folks, Berkeley Copwatch is in need of a new police radio scanner! It seems that the police department has switched frequencies/gone digital and their old scanner doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know anything about police radio/scanners and would want to have a conversation with me about them? Anyone know anything about some of the sdr options available and whether or not we could realistically hack something that would be effective? Any help is great! Max

Molecular Cloning class tonight, 6:30-8pm!

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tonight at Sudo Room from 6:30-8pm: Join the GETit Project and Counter Culture Labs for a beginning class on molecular cloning. We will cover the use of online tools to acquire genetic sequences, go through the process of designing primers and vector selection, and start designing cloning experiments to be conducted for the GETit Project. We hope to eventually take the front end work we’re doing here and bring the class into the laboratory to perform their own cloning experiments! - -- Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS1cDRAAoJEHTWWpBUSeDhawAH/3wlQFVU2nl0547OlAT88ukL iUeUimNlGsmbSyqxoMpXmv9OL3dhnz27u6XIGvLA+JVPHMUDZNYOaljQjvpCv2fs zMkfYkM7u0Kd4r4GFyr8SN1bmNcMxENFnkLib2TlwKWmyqFnCcmCFbKbrse5bVF5 IGieYodZzVu6KlMQg6hDf8NluiVccIwfijAHakNzQ7SK5RB2XrtddZJ1+bbmWiur 9zfWTdGeyYl64G6oESkx6WyTKWBB9iwIEdIJmPiy6wd5JNzD31hh4FE2M6MI4NAS kPu2j5o4er7wgmavWDdWuJVapbYat8dUJspZVUgRmy+uqf0PxERuDlfoSAP8Bes= =pI/z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Spacebridge

by J.C.

Hey all, I've been working to revive the space program at noisebridge and will be heading over there this evening if anyone is interested. One of the projects I'm thinking of is experimenting with ways to integrate with mesh and potentially use weather balloon lofted radios for popping up nodes for events or emergencies. There's boxes of balloons & circuits and a couple of big 'ole tanks of helium. Sincerely, Chief Space Cadet ;+) nburl.net/fort <https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Fort>

Machine Learning: Thursday, 1/16 @ 7pm

by Mike Schachter

Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that we are having a Machine Learning meetup at Noisebridge in the Church room (Northeast corner classroom), at 7pm this Thursday, January 16th. There will be a class targeted towards beginners to machine learning. Very basic programming knowledge, like using variables, arrays, and loops, would be helpful. The schedule will go something like this: 7:00pm - 7:30pm Project Talks, and SAGE and ebook distribution - People interested in presenting ideas for projects can stand up and share their ideas for projects to find collaborators. USB keys with SAGE and machine learning resources will be handed out for installation. 7:30pm - 8:30pm Project people can break off and continue collaborating. For beginners and all other interested parties, I'll give an interactive tutorial on regression via SAGE worksheets and the projector. Hope to see you there! If you're interested in getting a head start: Noisebridge ML Wiki Page: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Machine_Learning SAGE Download: http://www.sagemath.org/download.html mike P.S. The intro classes will be recurring, probably every 1-1.5 months, so don't freak out if you can't make it! I will also consider teaching the intro class on a weekend if there is enough demand. If you're interested in helping out to teach or create course material please contact me or solicit the mailing list(s).

hacking broken ankles (knee scooters, etc)

by Romy Ilano

Hey guys I just broke my ankle skateboarding. I'm interested to know if anyone here has hacked any knee scooters, crutches etc. I'm setting up a new wiki: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/HackHumans I'm going to be getting a knee scooter soon, and fully intend to festoon it with LED lights, arduinos, and the like. I'll be documenting my experiences on SF public transportation. My only regret is not being aware of these issues sooner! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
