Hi all!
We at the Open Mechanics Institute need a oxy-acetylene torch (including
gas etc.) to build our first project: the open source ecology CEB Press. (
http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/CEB_Press )
Anyone has one we can borrow / buy? We can arrange pick up of course, and
might even be able to pay a buck or two for renting. We will of course
replenish gas etc.
On the note of our work, if anyone who is skilled in metalwork and
passionate about building and improving on the open source ecology suite,
join us - we meet every Friday at a metalshop close to the Emeryville
homedepot and build.
Make a great day,
The Open Mechanics Institute team :]
Hi All,
Just a quick reminder that we'll be having an informal meeting again
tonight at 6pm at Sudo room to discuss the Open Source Desktop biotech lab
and all are welcome. Tonight will be a short meeting as we'll primarily
just be discussing the parts list for the Open Source PCR (all thoughts
welcome, particularly if you can't attend).
Agenda:
- Intros
- Updates (both the first Incubator and Centrifuge prototypes have been
built and are at Sudo room, now we need to build the PCR and Gel box)
- PCR - parts list for cheapest/decent build
- Order - Ryan will order the parts for us to hopefully hack next week :)
TGIF!
R

sorry to hit the list with this - I brought a yellow corded power drill during one of the move-in sundays and it is nowhere to be found. probably has "GASKILL" written on it in sharpie, figured someone just borrowed it which is okay as long as it comes back...maybe someone else who brought tools took it back with them?
cheers,

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.

Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may
just be interested!
