Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy

by J.C.

Some details from nb that could give some insight at hacker space financial planning. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Noisebridge Treasurer* Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy To: Noisebridge <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Cc: Noisebridge Treasurer <treasurer(a)noisebridge.net>, secretary(a)noisebridge.net Hey folks, a little bit more in depth financial report this week. Can someone show this at the meeting? Our secretary, my usual proxy, is home sick. Can someone chat with me about presenting this stuff? I can also write a little more elaborate explanation. The attached charts are looking at *individual donor income*. That means I've excluded corporate matching, anonymous cash donations (which all go under Anonymous), and the large donation from the Thiel foundation. What you're looking at here is individuals (all renamed to protect the innocent) who regularly donate to noisebridge, and trends in that income. A few interesting notes: - We always seem to get nervous about our balance in the winter, but we actually have less income over the summer. - 2011 was actually a good year for us. That was the first year we panicked in the winter about not having enough money, twittered about it, and made lots of money. You can see the peak in late 2011 / early 2012. 2011 also has the largest average annual donation per donor, the largest annual total, and the largest summer income. Winter 2010 beats winter 2011 though. - We have a small core of amazing, consistent, large donors. I thought these might change over the years but they are actually pretty consistent. You can see them in the color coding for the stacked annual chart. So thank you to Signe Bergman, Gertrude Harding, Marianne Hainisch, Emily Stowe, and most of all Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, for their incredible support of Noisebridge. -Kelly

February's Awesome Foundation SF grants earmarked for kids' projects

by Rachel McConnell

Calling all teachers, parents, educators, teenagers, and kids! The Awesome Foundation grants $1000 to people with AWESOME projects every month. We want to remind everyone that for our February grant, we will sponsor only projects submitted by kids! Submissions can come from individuals or groups of people who are either under the age of 18 or in high school. We will also consider applications submitted by educators on behalf of a classroom-wide project. We want to encourage youth to dream up an awesome idea and experience the magic of bringing it to fruition. What kind of project? Well, the single most important guideline is that the project is totally awesome. But, we also tend to favor projects that spread awesomeness to a wide audience. We suggest that interested applicants take a look at our website and browse through past winning projects: http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sf Of course, anyone may submit an application at any time, but February’s grant will only go to a kid’s project. Students should submit proposals through our website between February 1st and February 28th. http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may just be interested! Rachel McConnell Microtrustee, San Francisco Chapter Awesome Foundation

Youth engagement ideas via Ace Monster

by Vicky Knox

Hey people! During Oakland Wiki's hackerspaces-themed editathon last Sunday, I worked on the Ace Monster page, and through that discovered "Hacker Scouts", an amazing mentorship program for young people interested in hacking stuff. Today while lurking Ace Monster's discuss listserv, I ran into a great convo on it. If you are interested in developing a youth engagement program at Sudo Room, these people would definitely be great allies and provide good solid insight. There already seems to be a collaboration going between them and Mothership Hackermoms. (Message 10 is quite beautiful.) V 7. Maker Faire Fundraiser for Hacker Scout Teen! (Samantha Cook) 8.

Cameron is a 17 year old, homeschooled guy that paints, plays with lightning, makes electronic mechanical contraptions, writes computer programs, and builds/fixes computers.His project, the TARDIS tesla is very cool and ingenious in it's design and entertainment capabilities. We are proud to be helping Cam reach his Maker Faire goal. As a member of our Hacker Scouts Guild 001 in Oakland, we have the privilege of seeing him work on a variety of projects with precision, ingenuity and passion. He also mentors the younger members of the Guild with compassion and a cool ability to share knowledge. Between the Hacker Scouts mentors and his mentors at Arc Attack, he has the support to achieve his dream. We believe in him and his TARDIS Tesla, and ask you to contribute to his campaign<http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla>. You can find his fundraising page here<http://www.gofundme.com/TARDIS-Tesla >, and our article about it on the Hacker Scouts Website<http://hackerscouts.acemonstertoys.org/?p=530>.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Announcing 510pen community mesh network meetups @ Sudoroom

by adam scislowicz

I've worked on metro and adhoc based mesh networks at Airespace and then Cisco (Cisco acquired Airespace) as one of two architects. The mesh project I worked on was deployed for the city of Mountain View (dual use for VTA traffic stats), Stanford University, and for drone video surveillance during operation desert storm. The state of the art has improved much since, today I find the following paper on decentralized routing utilizing a cellular automata based approach very interesting: "A Routing Algorithm based on Cellular Automata for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks" http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CG4QFj… Regards, Adam On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 9:23 PM, mark burdett <mark(a)510pen.org> wrote: > 510pen is building a community mesh network throughout the east bay.
