We may be having issues with the listserv - Matt said he emailed out
information about the balance at the Community Bank of the Bay, but I've
yet to see the email - but we're solvent, we have about $2200 in e account
and need to pay out $1750 in fixed expenses. Note that we fall below the
$500 minimum in doing so, something I intend to fix for next month.
Ken makes some really good points as to the practical importance of
creating a user-friendly and attractive web presence for Noisebridge. This
topic/event may be of interest not only to people who want to help out
Noisebridge, but people interested in working on sudoroom dot org and the
wiki.
If you ever need wiki help, I am available.

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] [8:00pm in Turing] Noisebridge Homepage
Hacking! Web development!
To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net
*Interested in ...*
• Making it *easier* to *donate* to Noisebridge?!
• *Web* development?
• A more *usable* and *attractive* homepage for Noisebridge?
*NOISEBRIDGE HOMEPAGE HACKING!*
Stop by at *8:00p**m** tonight* in *Turing* (classroom) if interested in
helping or providing feedback
Ken Haggerty is organizing :D I will bring some cookies? Oreos?
* * * * *
A group of us will begin hacking out an alternative homepage design, and *
IFF* enough people like it, we can use it on Noisebridge.net.
(DON'T WORRY, the wiki **isn't** going anywhere.
...also, if it sucks, it'll just be good web-dev practice)
But *why*, you ask, should Noisebridge have a new homepage, when our
current one is perfectly fine?
• A wiki is pretty *intimidating* to look at if you are not already a
technically-oriented person.
• Noisebridge is awesome because it's *welcoming* to everyone, and our
homepage should welcome all hackers, from our computer scientists to our
architects, fashion, and food hackers!
• A clear and clean homepage will make it easier to *solicit donations* to
keep Noisebridge running! (where is the donate button??)
• A better homepage with a clear message can *attract non-members* who are
interested in learning more about Noisebridge.
This is the same time/place as the usual weekly Frontend Web Development
lab, so others present will also be working on other cool things too.
Cool beans, show up or shoot me a message at kenmhaggerty(a)gmail.com if
interested,
-Ken

Hi everyone,
Please join us at *2PM this Saturday* (3/30) for the "Today I Learned"
workshop "*Intro to Bicycle Repair and Maintenance.*"
Come learn how your bike works and how to do basic bicycle maintenance and
repair. Feel free to bring your bike! Also, if you have them available,
bring *tools*, *materials*, *parts*, and other *useful supplies* as a drive
to fill our space with more bike essentials!
Location: Sudo Room: 2141 Broadway, entrance on 22nd St., take the elevator
upstairs
Date & Time: Saturday 3/30 at 2PM
Supplies: Yourself (optional: your bike!)
Cost: Free
*This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free
workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative
community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule
at sudoroom.org <http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned> and please
forward widely.*
So from below I read $0.25/cm3 material cost
Based on rough properties i get these:
@ 1.25g/cm3*($40/1000g filament) = 5 cents/cm3 material cost
@ 1.25g/cm3*((180C-20C)*2J/gK*$.2/kWh*0.00027kWh/J) = 1.7 cents/cm3 heating energy cost...maybe we should try printing through a kill-a-watt to see how it adds up with motors, controller, PC too if we want the whole energy component of unit cost.
So the big question is really of labor, of who is going to do the manifold checking, slicing, setup, babysitting while it prints, and verification of the complete part, and how much is their time worth. Volunteers? Do we put that responsibility on the customer and offer accordingly lower prices? If we go with that model, how do we foolproof the interface for the machines? If there's interest, we could put together a proposal for crowdfunding a bank of 3D printers and staffing the operation. This isn't the first time it's been brought up so maybe it's worth taking a closer look.
For metal, it's $8/cm3 +$6 handling at shapeways (http://www.shapeways.com/materials/steel)...anyone interested in joining that 3D printed rocket engine design competition? :)

Just a note, I recently "reverse engineered" their pricing uploaded several objects of a known size and put their prices into a spreadsheet), they dont actually tell you how they calculate it. It's:

For some reason it doesn't rank the printers by proximity -- there are actually many in SF and Oakland that don't appear on Page 1, so click through ... and maybe list the sudoroom printer to make a few bucks on the side?
Find a 3D printer near you.http://www.makexyz.com/

I like that statement made last week
It's not interesting to be constantly promoting products from private companies
I mean you can be polite about it and appreciate the love but you are all right: what's the point of a creative space if the members ideas are getting hijacked to do free pr for companies with business plans ?
Why buy food from local take out? Isn't it better to make your own food?

Who seems to be having a somewhat similar problem in this bleak, bleak
month of March (there's a lot of interesting information about their scale
and reserves here):

You know what? I too am more than willing to bike around in the next couple
of days, collecting donations if you can't make tonight or any evening
later this week. I'm not working until Monday. Send me an email and I'll
figure something out. I love exercise anyway.

We have new equipment: a Wacom bamboo tablet
How do we store it so nobody steals it but everyone can use it?
I'd like to start some drawing sessions!
Is there a scanner at sudo room ?
