Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon

by Vicky Knox

I'm no longer in town but I have something to say. I think this is a good opportunity to explore. I hear your concerns about their approach, Ryan. I am particularly irked by the inspirational music in the video. *shudders* That said, I would love to take this opportunity to transmit our collective concerns and critiques to them...call it "hacking their framing". :] Whether one likes it or not, these folks have a lot of power in shaping popular technology development and understandings into the future. While we may not revolutionize Google, we can at least encourage them to do their bidding in a way that is a little less evil. I'm happy that they're directly reaching out to hackerspaces, which means they may take notes. I'm also happy that they're reaching out to us because our social ecosystem is quite a bit more diverse than theirs and therefore has more potential for wisdom (I wonder, have they reached out to Mothership or LOL?). The tech industry (or any business that requires a steep social capital (whiteness, maleness, ability to work 40+ hours/week, etc.) in order to have a better (or any) chance at getting employed), after all, is largely ableist and culturally stagnant. Please excuse my nesting.

Fwd: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon

by Jenny Ryan

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Arie Meir" <ariemeir(a)google.com> Date: Jun 24, 2015 12:13 PM Subject: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon To: <info(a)sudoroom.org> Cc: Dear Sudoroom community, I'm reaching out from the philanthropic arm of Google, Google.org which supports non-profits aimed at technical innovation. In our attempt to expand opportunity and independence for people with disabilities we have recently launched a campaign <https://get.google.com/disabilitiesimpactchallenge/open-call.html> aiming to identify and support non-profits doing innovative work in the assistive technology space. The reason for this email is that in addition to the campaign,we are thinking of organizing a hackathon around mid-late august focused on assistive technology using this event <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_BQzJD9gpo> as a source of inspiration. The basic idea is to bring the need-knowers (people with disabilities and their families/caregivers) together in the same room with tech folks (hackers/makers/designers) and develop prototypes for affordable products that could serve the needs of the community of people with disabilities. We thought that the hacker community of Sudoroom might find it interesting/relevant and some folks perhaps wish to participate. We are trying to gauge the level of interest in something like this from the hacker/maker/developer community. Thoughts ? Ideas ? What should we think of to make this event more relevant/interesting to the folks involved ?

Fwd: Important: No more bank payouts. Action required.

by yar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com> Date: Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 7:12 PM Subject: [sudo-accounts] Important: No more bank payouts. Action required. To: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com> Greetings! You're receiving this message because you're one of the nine people who have been withdrawing money from Gratipay 2.0 directly to your bank account. Our provider for bank payouts, Balanced Payments, is going out of business, and they stopped providing bank payouts last week. We tried pretty damn hard over the past couple months to migrate to a new provider for bank payouts, so that we could provide uninterrupted service for you, but we failed. Sorry. :-( Our backup plan is PayPal. To maximize the chance that you receive your payout this week in some fashion, we chose to configure your Gratipay account to send money via PayPal to the verified email address we have on file for you—the one you're receiving this email on—from now on. Please update the PayPal address on your Gratipay settings page as necessary, to ensure that we route your payouts properly starting this Thursday. If PayPal is not a good option for you, please get in touch and let's see what we can figure out. You've been very patient with us throughout the turmoil of the last couple months. While we can't quite say that we've fully survived the Balanced shutdown yet (due to its repercussions for us), it's a big milestone to be processing at all even though Balanced has in fact started shutting down. Thank you for believing in us as we continue rebuilding Gratipay! :-) As always, feel free to reply here privately, or join our public discussion on GitHub. chad ---- Chad Whitacre Founder, Gratipay +1-412-925-4220 (cell)

Dimmable 100W LED Driver Design for Arduino

by Robert Benson

I'm trying to drive several devices: 1) 1x 1w 12v fan (pentium 2 cpu cooler) 2) 1x 100w 35v 3a smd led. (I want the led to be dimmable & ideally capable of high frequency switching :)) - *Forward Voltage (VF): DC 32-34V* - *Forward current (IF): 3000MA* - *Out put Lumens: 8000-9500LM* 3) several other servo/stepper motors for pan/tilt type uses with one arduino uno. Obviously, the arduino will not power the led so I need a driver for it & maybe even the motors. My research leads me to think that the led wants a constant current of 3 amps & a variable voltage for dimming. Circuits of this caliber have not been forthcoming in my searches on the web. Thank you for your consideration. Cheers Robb

FW: Inventors tv show - call for inventors

by Mitch Altman

FYI, This was received on the Noisebridge Press alias. If you're interested, please contact Ashley directly. Best, Mitch. From: ashley(a)pitch5productions.com Subject: Inventors tv show - call for inventors Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:53:13 -0700 To: press(a)noisebridge.net Hi, My name is Ashley and I work for Pitch 5 Productions, a tv production company based in Los Angeles. We are working on a pilot for a major cable network and are looking for inventors for a segment of the show, so we’re reaching out to Maker/Hackerspaces around the country to find some really amazing creations. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone within your organization might be interested, or if you could submit the following post in any bulletins or message boards. Here’s what we’re looking for: We are casting inventors who would want to have one of their inventions safety tested by a major product testing company. Inventors would appear on camera for a non airing pilot. Inventors would demonstrate their invention and engineers would put their product through appropriate safety testing. For example, if the product has electrical components, some type of motor, or plugs in, they would put the product through the necessary tests to receive a safety mark. This is a great opportunity for inventors who are trying to get their product to market. Interested candidates please send contact info, a brief description of your product and current photo of yourself to ashley(a)pitch5productions.com. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or email. Best, Ashley Sims Research AssistantPitch 5 ProductionsOffice (818) 479-4221

Apple PowerBook G4

Hey all, Jerome and I were messing with this old apple laptop, we left it on the 3D printer desk, assuming that no one would bother stealing such an under-powered device. Lo and behold, it seems to be missing... Hopefully somebody just picked it up thinking it was an up-for-grabs relic! If you have it, please return it to me.

Here is what I wish to accomplish: 1- to get a router with OpenWRT (Not sure of its capabilities, but I like the idea to get ride of the corporate code, because potential backdoors) 2- and if needed, a tiny computer that would be always connected to a VPN account, so that all home computers can use it as their gateway; IF the router cannot do this. What can I give in exchange? Well, I don't know what knowledge I can share when all of you seem to be way above my head. I don't know, maybe Photography? Spanish? :) Please let me know if interested, we can start right away. I am eager to start this.

Don't drop off random "donations" (like stone countertops) in CCL without checking with us first!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

In general, if you have any piece of equipment or furniture you would like to donate to CCL, *please check with us first*! You can always email info(a)counterculturelabs.org to contact some of the organizers (I'll check if we have a donations@ and equipment@ alias as well). At a very minimum, for goodness sake please add a note to whatever you dropped off. So *whomever dropped off a bunch of stone countertops in CCL, please get rid of them.* We don't need them, we don't want them, they're taking up space, and we sure as heck prefer not to have to clean up after you... The same principle applies to any equipment "donations" to Sudo and to the Omni as a whole as well. If you haul something in, assuming you're doing someone else a favor, it is still YOUR responsibility to make sure the respective organizations actually want your "treasure". We are all having a hard enough time keeping entropy under control with the stuff we have already... Thanks! Patrik

Fitting in

by Romy Ilano

I don't fit into the startup scene all the time even though I secretly enjoy it when it's good But I don't fit into the activist & cool social movements folks all the time even though they're doing important smart innovative work I'm still barely getting my feet wet in open source & seek to make contributions but the passionate opinionated folks at Sudoroom && Noisebridge show me the way I'm glad I can visit places like Sudoroom and omni where people like me who don't always fit in can hang out!

Sounds like general backlash, not entirely gentrification or buses? pic.twitter.com/eoIECW9Bp4 We hosted their event. One Omni person was bottom lining it, but didn't read the full poster before approving. Another Omni person saw the posters and do-o-cratically crossed out the word "autistic". Then we asked the organizers to correct all their flyers, which they apparently did. Our community has no love for Google, gentrification, OR for ableism. We are sorry to have our name associated with any of those things. "Anti-intellectualism" is just a cheap shot which portrays tech workers as intellectual and everyone else as stupid. This is an economic issue. You should know better.
