Beehive Design Collective: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21

by Jake

this is happening! a great example of empowered people using creativity to solve problems. The bees do intense research on subjects like mountaintop removal coal mining and now, California Water Politics (which i haven't seen yet) and then they make a giant poster with compelling artwork that makes it easy to see the big picture. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 15:37:47 -0700 From: Sakura Saunders <sakura.saunders(a)gmail.com> To: Beehive Design Collective <pollinators(a)beehivecollective.org> Subject: Bees swarm Bay Area with new graphic and tour! Oct 19-21 PLEASE FORWARD! We have some exciting news: the Bees will be swarming the Bay Area with a new graphic and tour focused on California water politics in the midst of a massive drought. Sucked Dry: Examining Drought and Privatization from Mesoamérica to California, draws inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, connecting local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. Oct 19: 2pm Dolores Park, SF Oct 20: 6:30pm Greenpeace warehouse, 955 7th St., W. Oakland co-sponsored by Rising Tide Oct 21: 5:30pm Gill Tract Farm, Albany (at the intersection of Marin & San Pablo) co-sponsored by Food & Water Watch & California Student Sustainability Coalition About the tour: California is in the midst of a historical drought, the most severe the region has had in the last 500 years. This water crisis has devastated resources, with several communities facing the prospect of running dry. A number of projects advocating infrastructure development such as the BDCP and Prop 1 have been proposed as solutions for the state, but are they truly in the interests for all? What are their impacts to our drying rivers and reservoirs? Fisheries and communities? Drawing inspiration from struggles against large-scale infrastructure projects throughout MesoAmerica, the Bees will take you on a visual journey touching on the local and the global struggle for control and protection of water. We will also be introducing a *brand new graphic* (still in draft form) that deals specifically with the fight to stop the Tunnel project that threatens the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta About the Bees Based out of small-town Machias across the country in rural Maine, the Beehive Design Collective is an all-volunteer organization of activists, artists, educators and organizers. Our main focus is creating and presenting graphic works about global issues internationally. These portable murals are teeming with intricate images of plants and animals, illustrating surreal but meticulously researched scenes of sociocultural realities in the modern world. Not only are our graphics detailed, beautiful works of art, but they also are tools in understanding the big picture of a region's struggles.

Film Night Tonight

by Eske Silver

The film screening tonight is being pushed back to 9:30. As the Oroboros event upstairs in the ballroom will be starting soon, from 8:30 to 9:30, competeing sounds and a lack of 7:15 attendees mean whomever wasn't able to make it ealier, but would like to come, can still see the screening of "Nothing" by Vincenzo Natali. Perhaps I'll see you at 9:30? Have a good night, all! ~ Korl 500px.com/eskesilver 510.689.4484

Pair programming station and caster callout

by Jake

pair programming is a great way to learn and share computer skills. It is best practiced at a desk where both people can see the same screen, and each other's face at the same time - and each person has their own keyboard and mouse. as you can see here, I made a pair programming station (with help) for us: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/sudo/IMG_20141010_021851.jpg it has everything it needs except for ONE MORE USB MOUSE so if you have an extra, bring it on. ideally a matching DELL mouse. also, it has a bad caster wheel on it, which looks like this: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/sudo/IMG_20141010_022958.jpg this is a picture of the good one. If you have a caster like this that is not broken, please bring it in and put it on the cart. i'm trying to make it have wireless (it's a desktop computer right now) which means learning about openWRT, to make a wifi bridge to ethernet. That way wherever the cart is, it will have internet with spare ethernet ports, for your beaglebone or whatever you're hacking on to plug into. but of course, you don't need to use the computer on the cart - you can plug the VGA cable into your laptop and the USB cable (one for both keyboards and mice) into your laptop, and use that. the two monitors are hard-wired to a single VGA cable, and don't try to change it. i had to make that cable. and the screens are screwed down. enjoy! -jake

Fwd: Propose a session for LibrePlanet 2015!

by april glaser

hey y'all. propose a session to libreplanet 2015 by Nov 2. I believe they have scholarship. happy to answer q's if ppl have ! tyvm, abril -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Propose a session for LibrePlanet 2015! Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:58:12 -0400 From: Libby Reinish <info(a)fsf.org> Reply-To: Libby Reinish <info(a)fsf.org> To: April Glaser <april(a)eff.org> Free Software Foundation Dear April , Thanks again for presenting at LibrePlanet 2014. The next LibrePlanet will be held March 21-22, 2015 in Cambridge, MA, and the call for sessions is open now through Sunday, November 2nd. I hope you will submit a proposal for a talk, panel, workshop, or strategy session for LibrePlanet 2015. If you want to run any ideas by me, or have any questions about the application, don't hesitate to be in touch. The original email with more details is appended below. Oh, and please pass this along to your networks if you feel so inspired--we'd be grateful! Looking forward to your proposals, Libby Reinish Campaigns Manager LibrePlanet 2015 <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> is coming! We're excited to announce that next year's conference will be held *March 21-22, 2015 in Cambridge, MA*. The Free Software Foundation is teaming up with the Student Information Processing Board at MIT once again to bring you a conference you won't want to miss. Our Call for Sessions <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/call_for_sessions/> is open now, and you can also apply to volunteer <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/> or exhibit <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> at LibrePlanet 2015. General registration will open in October. You've got until Sunday, November 2nd, 2014 at 19:59 EST (23:59 UTC) to submit your proposals <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/>. We can't wait to see what you come up with! This year, the theme of LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> is "Free Software Everywhere." We're looking for talks that touch on the many places and ways that free software is used around the world, as well as ways to make free software ubiquitous. Think "everywhere" in the broadest sense of the word--it's not just geography-based talks we're after. What are some contexts where free software is thriving, and some others where it needs a push? How have you worked to gain a stronghold for free software in your company or community? And what about free software on all of the myriad pieces of hardware we use, including laptops, phones, tablets, and even coffee makers? At LibrePlanet 2015, we're taking software freedom around the world, to outer space, and consider its role in industry, government, academia, community organizing, and personal computing. Should I submit a session proposal for LibrePlanet? Yes! We encourage speakers of all experience levels to submit a proposal. LibrePlanet is a great place for new and seasoned speakers alike. While LibrePlanet always includes technical talks, our program also emphasizes non-technical topics and topics that are appropriate for newcomers. We are especially interested to see proposals from people who use free software or apply its values for social benefit, from academic research to community organizing, education to medicine and the arts. LibrePlanet is committed to increasing the participation of speakers belonging to groups traditionally underrepresented at free software conferences, including women and people of color. Some ideas for sessions * Sharing a story of how free software has been applied for social benefit * Tackling a threat or organizing challenge facing the free software movement * Demonstrating a new and exciting piece of software or development within an existing software project * Engaging youth, the future of the free software movement. We're looking for proposals for all age groups, from young children, to high school age, to college students * Thinking critically about challenges and opportunities facing the movement, and charting a path to victory * Bringing a key part of free software history to life * Giving newcomers a way to learn about free software principles and philosophy, and/or giving newcomers a way to start using free software in their daily lives At LibrePlanet, we are looking for sessions that embrace the free software movement's ideals and also its language. For example, using "free software" is better than using "open source". Volunteer for LibrePlanet LibrePlanet depends on volunteer support during the planning process all the way through the event. We're looking for volunteers who want to help us with the planning and preparation work for LibrePlanet. Learn more about volunteering and sign up at LibrePlanet.org <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/volunteer/>. Promotional opportunities at LibrePlanet LibrePlanet is the perfect place to spread the word about your organization to an inspired and engaged audience. We have two kinds of promotional opportunities for LibrePlanet 2015: exhibit tables and sponsorships. Exhibit tables will be located in a highly visible primary thoroughfare. Your table and program acknowledgement will reach hundreds of software developers, free software activists, academics, students, and computer users. You can apply for an exhibit table at LibrePlanet.org <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015/exhibit/> Exhibitors will be accepted on a rolling basis until the hall fills, so apply early! What makes LibrePlanet <https://www.libreplanet.org/2015> so special is the amazing contributions from our speakers, exhibitors, and volunteers. We can't wait to hear your ideas!

Internet speedz? mb up & down?

by Danny Spitzberg

Hey all, there's a 48hr live broadcast of hackathon-like happenings around the world, HQ'd at Omni Nov 15 & 16. It's called Deconstruction (see thedeconstruction.org) and it consists of a small crew of people on-site to manage the video feed and possibly tour Omni. The organizers asked me about Internet bandwidth... I haven't speed-tested anything and figured there were folks who knew our capacity better. Does anyone know the typical and min/max Internet upload/download heft? Might it be >10mb? >20mb? curious, thanks, Danny

Right now we have 10 lockers at Sudoroom. Most of them have locks, but no names, so we don't know who uses them. From now on, if you are using a locker, please: * label the locker with a name, nym, email or other contact info * send an email to sudo-discuss or info(a)sudoroom.org to say which locker you've taken * pay if you can. right now we are asking $30/month although we're open to other models. If some lockers are still unidentified after a month or two, we may take extreme measures... Thanks!

fyi! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Catherine Bracy <bracy(a)codeforamerica.org> Date: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 4:29 PM Subject: [cfabrigade] Fwd: We Launched!

Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows... To: Catherine Bracy <bracy(a)codeforamerica.org> Hi Catherine, Hope all is well. Thanks so much for the guidance over the past few months. I’m excited to let you know that we launched the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program last week. See the program here: www.mozilla.org/advocacy. We’re accepting applications for 2015 Fellows now, and I am hoping that you can help spread the news to your network — seems like an ideal opportunity for Code for America alumni. Here is a bit more about the program: - Protecting the Internet -- 2015 Fellows will work on a range of issues -- from net neutrality to privacy to anti-surveillance -- that are core to protecting the free and open web. - Attracting a Diversity of Talent -- Fellows will receive a stipend plus all sorts of living expense add ons. We want to get the best and most diverse pool of talent out there. - Using Tech to Inform the Policy Discussion -- Fellows will serve as ambassadors, mentors, and guides to their nonprofit hosts. They will work in the open helping to better inform the policy discussion throughout civil society and government. The application window closes in December. It would be so helpful to the program — and to building the army to protect the Internet -- if you would let your network know about the Fellowship opportunity. Let me know what you think and, if you can help, I’ll send you messaging (tweets, posts, etc.) to make it easy to spread the news. I’d also love to hear any ideas you have as we shape and build the program for the future. Thanks so much! --Dave ps: Here is what The Washington Post had to say about the program: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/30/mozilla-just-5… __________ Dave Steer Director, Advocacy Mozilla Foundation Email: davesteer(a)mozillafoundation.org Cell: 415-845-5110 Twitter: @davesteer and @MozillaAdvocacy www.mozilla.org/advocacy -- If you are having trouble unsubscribing via brigade+unsubscribe(a)codeforamerica.org, please email brielle(a)codeforamerica.org. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Code for America Brigade" group.

Fwd: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space

by Jenny Ryan

FYI. Please share any blocking concerns or general feedback! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Rise Above Printing" <info(a)riseaboveoakland.com> Date: Oct 9, 2014 9:21 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Just to update everyone on the proposal for the space I'm hoping to use for my work at the Omni. If there is consensus on it I'd like to continue preparing the space this month to move into it in November. The space I'd like to print in is the old utility room adjacent to the cafe. Once the kitchen is moved I will move the wall behind the stoves back to where it is in the floor plans, leaving a hallway that supplies sufficient egress to the exit. For the wash out room I would like to use a portion of the upstairs spa room, as in the drawing below. Although it wold be nice to have that on the same floor as my shop I'm not sure that installing the plumbing to the area near the walk in fridge is as feasible financially or time-wise right now. Perhaps that can be done further down the road. I'd also like to have a small desk at some shared office space in the building. Maybe either the ticket room or the old TIL space? If the delegates approve this proposal I'd like to ask that the utility room no longer be used to store trash. I am willing to help get the building some more larger trash cans from waste management if the working group in charge of those facilities is interested in that. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all on Thursday night. Many thanks!

Bike Smut in Oakland TONIGHT!

by revphil

This is the only screening in Oakland. Wed Oct 8th Downtown Oakland Feelmore 510 1703 Telegraph Ave 9pm, $10 donation -- But there is a BONUS screening just outside Oakland! Thu Oct 9th Emeryville GUAVA 4210 Holden St 8pm, $10 donation http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2014/10/extra-bay-area-action.html Adults are not given agency to claim their adulthood in many positive forms. We need your help in bringing more joyous liberation. Its time to take control of our sexuality and our transportation! The only way to see the Bike Smut Film Festival is when it plays for a live audience. The various artists' interpretations about what is great about sex and cycling are creative, clever, funny, and aware! Bike Smut has never been just a single person's vision, rather, a coalition of the horny bring this synthesis of transportation and sexuality to life. Past contributors include Gus Van Sant, Courtney Trouble, Madison Young, Tinto Brass, Pandora Blake, and countless more rad, sex-positive filmmakers! This years submissions are from Oakland, Vancouver, Chicago, Gainesville, Montreal, Berlin, Milan and Geneva! I just rode my bike across Europe for 6 months then rode it south from Oregon to Oakland. This weekend I start to ride south to LA. Come ask me about hacking sexual health or better yet make a suggestion about how to do it better.

Borrow a projector?

by Edmund Biow

Hi folks, I was given to understand that a sudoer could check out an LED projector for an event. I could use one for anInside Urban Shield even <https://occupyoakland.org/2014/10/inside-urban-shield-hear-inside-dope-disc…>t tomorrow, I have one, but it is a low-energy 300 joule <http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-HW350T-micro-portable> jobbie, and I wouldn't mind using a slightly higher wattage unit, if possible. I saw a funky old Sanyo projector, but it didn't look like much of an improvement over my little dude. I know there used to be one over on the CCL shelves, but don't know if that has migrated. I could pick it up tomorrow mourning/afternoon and return it after the event at 10 PM. My list subscription is in daily digest mode, so CC me if you have words of sage advice on the matter.

BBK-Richmond tech job

by Paige Peterson

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hey all, In my research for mesh outreach and collaboration (particularly focusing on the Internet archive tower in Richmond), I ran into Building Blocks for Kids. They are an organization formed with the "mission of supporting the healthy development and education of all children, and the self-sufficiency of all families, living in the BBK Collaborative zone located in Richmond, California." Part of their focus is on digital literacy and access and they are currently looking to hire someone to lead this portion. More info about the position: http://bbk-richmond.org/staff/employment-opportunities/ They've already set up a couple of repeaters to spread the Internet archive wifi access and have funding to set up many more as far as I know. In the end, however, that makes all of these families dependent on the tower so Peoples Open Network could help relieve this dependency by meshing with those who can already afford Internet access in their home. Anyways, good opportunity for someone at Sudo looking for work as well as further pushing this idea of them working with the mesh instead of just setting up repeaters.

extracting robot parameters

by Jake

So the robot's control box has a bunch of constants relating to its geometry, which are important for modeling it, so that we can tell it where to go. These constants are stored in parameter arrays in the robot's memory, preloaded from ROM when we initialized it. Descriptions of the parameter values were found in a cave, in a file called ERCPRM.HLP, scrawled in an ancient dead language, but a translator was found and exported its contents to http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ERCPRM.RTF I have edited ERCPRM.rtf down to the following text file: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/params-important.txt if someone can make a program that adds the actual value of each parameter to this file, it will probably make things easier for whoever wants to make a model of the robot. the parameter data are here: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/dat/PARAM.DAT PARAM.DAT is a file starting with /PRM then each parameter array starts with // and then the name of the array and then PRM, all in one line, for example //RCPRM for the RC array. Then the parameters are listed, ten per line, as a comma-delimited list. putting these values after their corresponding line in params-important.txt would be totally awesome. -jake

It's one of my favorite incredibly quirky movies, I hope you all enjoy it. See you at 7 in the basement! ~ Korl 1.510.689.4484 STP/ eske silver

robot job files and rectangular coordinates

by Jake

so far, all the robot programs we have extracted have coordinates stored in PULSE format, meaning that all positions are stored as a list of positions for the six axes. This means we have been trying to create a math model of the robot's joints to get it to do our bidding. however, today I was reading page 106 of this document: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479236-17-Communications.pdf and it explains more about the format of a Job file: ///PULSE : Indicates position data (pulse counts) ///RECTAN : Indicates position data (rectangular coordinates) so far we have only seen PULSE, but we could try RECTAN and see if we can feed the robot rectangular coordinates, like we do to a 3D printer. also there is the line starting with ///ATTR ///ATTR a-p : Job data attributes ... m = Position data format, 0 pulse, 1 rectangular ... and ///FRAME coordinate system : Identifies the job coordinate system BASE = base coordinates ROBOT = robot coordinates N = user coordinate number (1 - 8) also, we should realize that the line ///NPOS describes the number of coordinates in a job, and until now I thought we could simply add or remove coordinate lines and that would be enough, but probably not. See how the NPOS line always matches the number of coordinates (of each type) in the jobs we have saved so far: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/tree/master/jobs all our jobs are FRAME BASE and coordinates in PULSE. I don't know how to create a job any other way, so we will have to experiment. -jake

LOL is probably not moving anytime soon, especially not to Temescal. Monday isn't a general meeting, it's an open hack night! Also, LOL has existed for longer than Sudo and I believe it was Jen Mei who first formally "reached out" to us. :)
