Anyone good with an airbrush?

by Steve Berl

I'm working on a scale model of the Gale Crater on Mars as a volunteer for Chabot Space & Science Center. It's going to show the Curiosity Rover (MSL) landing sight, where it has travelled, and where it is headed. I'm making the model by stacking up layers of 0.1" chipboard sheets topo map style. Once it's built it needs to be painted to look like Mars. I'm color blind, so probably not the right guy to do this finish work. Also, don't have any experience doing a realistic looking gradients, etc. Anyone out there interested in helping? -- -steve

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Early days of noisebridge

by Romy Snowyla

Here's a thread from noisebridge with a photo project I usually sit next to over there... I called it the early days of noisebridge! I enjoyed the sudoroom party and think the first year event reminded me of the early days of noisebridge ! Very bright and optimistic.

The space needs to be swept and mopped every day, at least an hour's job for two people. People used to do regular loads of laundry to wash the dishtowels and rags for cleanup.

a one-page doc on do-ocracy, and a question

by Danny Spitzberg

Hey, Sudoers there's been a whole lotta talk and excitement about "do-ocracy" and, occasionally, adhocracy. That's rad! I'd like to question the notion that "do-ocracy" is the logical end of collective efforts. In my view, do-ocracy is a great practice and ethic that is best served embedded in a loaf baked with intention, care, and... democracy. To substantiate that, I'd like to share a one-page doc I composed that situates do-ocracy as a phase between two others, one the early "dream" state and the other an advanced "democracy" (so-called). While these phases exist on a gradient and can (and should) organically bleed into one another, there are important distinctions and caveats. I hope this sparks some constructive conversation around accountability and alignment within the group. Really, I do! warmly, very warmly, Danny [image: Inline image 1]

I was just thinking about the public perception of hierarchy and ways to minimize that.

Help us plan a BIG First Friday this week!

by Yardena Cohen

Tonight's meeting has morphed enthusiastically into a planning session for this week's first friday / art murmur. In two days, we'll be at the intersection of: * Halloween / Day of the Dead / All Souls * Sudoroom's first anniversary of moving into our current space * Filing our corp papers in Sacramento * Expanding to new spaces & new ventures So we're going to throw a birthday party for ourselves on Friday night. We're going to bill it as an Art Murmur afterparty from around 7pm to 2am. It will be advertised as having a fundraiser component (donation pitches + raffle), but not as a fundraiser. The promotional materials are being designed right now and we'll have them ready to go viral by tomorrow morning. Here are things we need your help with NOW: * THINGS TO RAFFLE - things and services * A/V STUFF - we have an awesome DJ lined up but need equipment * CATERING - food/drink * your input and ideas for this party and all logistics * invite all your friends * wear a great costume

If anybody is interested in working on Noisebridge Radio please contact me. The filing dates are 2 months away which is not as long as you think. Some of the basics are that the frequency used can't interfere with any existing station, max. power is 1000 watts, and preference is given to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a week. The usual FCC regulations apply, no swearing, nothing that promotes any illegal activity, etc. There are no restrictions about remote access so people could transmit via network access from somewhere else. At that power level we should be able to cover the Mission and perhaps leak out to the Downtown/Tenderloin area. The transmitters run in the $2500 - $3500 range and you can't build your own. It must be a "type accepted" transmitter. Lower power transmitters cost less. Everything else we can build ourselves. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are NOT entitled to your own facts.

by giovanni_re

https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-August/03893… Read these important links below: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 ----- Original message ----- From: Norman Bradley <pryankster(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] The Radio gauntlet is not tossed. Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:22:40 -0700 A while back people were talking about getting a part of the Radio Spectrum for Noisebridge. Well here it is. I can work out the technical parts but somebody else needs to take care of the filings. The window of opportunity is October 15-29, 2013 and for the first time urban stations will be allowed. The license holder must have been in the community for at least 2 years. The range is about 10 miles although given our location at the bottom of a valley I wouldn't bet on it. With this power it is line-of-sight. We should be able to hit Dolores Park and most of the Market Street area from the Civic Center North. Bayview and Hunter's Point? Forget it there is a hill in the way. These are just guesses. We need to prove that we won't interfere with existing stations. That starts with just walking around the Mission and listening to your FM Radio. The more technical details I will work out with some modeling software later. The FCC is giving extra points to stations that will be on the air at least 20 hours a day and is "publicly accessible". A good time to reach out to our neighbors. I am assuming that some of that can be pre-recorded or streamed in from the net. If it is coming over the net we will need to be very careful about who has access. There's that whole no profanity rule. So let us get K - - - on the air. KNOS, NBRG, KNOI are all taken and it must start with a K, West of the Mississippi and all. So here are some of the relevant web sites: The original article from John Hightower: http://otherwords.org/get-radio-active/ The Prometheus Radio Project, "Freeing the airwaves from corporate control": http://www.prometheusradio.org/ More information from Prometheus: http://www.prometheusradio.org/FCC_Update_June2013 -- You are entitled to your own opinion.

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC

by giovanni_re

My message to NB about the FCC LPFM project. ----- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: "noisebridge-discuss" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] low ppwer fm. FCC Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:49:08 -0800 http://slingshot.tao.ca/issue.html?0112007 LPFM Alive Despite Legislation By DJ Rubble On November 30, 2012. the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced implementation of the bipartisan Local Community Radio Act of 2010. The legislation instructs the FCC to license more small, local Low Power FM (LPFM) stations. These stations broadcast on up to 100-watt transmitters, usually with a 3-4 mile signal range. The legislation replaces a 2000 ruling first recognizing LPFM. The 2000 legislation was hailed a groundbreaking victory for unlicensed radio, which had seized the airwaves and refused to be removed. However, the radio industry through inside deals from powerful lobbying arm the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) with the FCC and Congress quickly maneuvered to strategically undermine the process to eliminate even the smallest level of competition for the profiteers. Over a twelve year period the net result is about 800 small, non-profit corporate LPFM stations nationally. Virtually none have been licensed in major urban areas, including none in the Bay area. The majority are rural stations owned by a well-funded national religious network, most others by schools and emergency responders. The result is a corporate jukebox of songs from the top ten record labels, AP wire service briefs, and government-funded propaganda from NPR. The current LPFM legislation is again hailed as ground breaking by the media and radio activist organizations that worked hard for passage. It should provide a few more good quality, local stations. But will it help or actually hurt LPFM in the context of the overall goals of the original movement, which started out as "pirate radio"? ... _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

My message that created the idea of Noisebridge Hackrspace radio. ----- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net, cq(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [CQ] K-Noisebridge - NB should start an FM radio station. "The Bridge" Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2013 11:37:45 -0800 Community outreach. Y'know how radiostations call themselves by word names nowdays, instead of call signs? Like Alice, The Bone, The Revolution.? We should call it. "The Bridge". ===== Fwd. Was: [CQ] Invitation: East Bay Amateur Radio Club meeting this Friday at 7:30pm - RADIO SAUSALITO Jack k6jeb at yahoo.com Tue Sep 11 19:52:03 UTC 2012 ------ I'd like to invite you to the East Bay Amateur Radio Club September meeting this Friday, September 14th at 7:30pm. We meet at the El Sobrante Public Library 4191 Appian Way El Sobrante. Since this month's topic isn't specifically about ham radio, why not invite your non-ham friends/family/colleagues? Come join the fun this Friday!!!! This month's presentation: "Radio Sausalito" Jonathan Westerling, founder and president of Radio Sausalito will share with us what happens behind the scenes to keep the Bay Area's smallest radio station on the air 11 years after its first broadcast. We'll learn about the strict technical requirements that limit legal transmission on 180 meters (the am radio band) and the unique technology that that allows listeners to tune in jazz on 1610 AM. Jonathan will also offer up his 20 years of expertise in broadcasting to answer your questions about broadcast radio and its future. Bio: Jonathan Westerling, 36, grew up in the small rural town of Harvard, Massachusetts, a town with literally a single traffic light and more apple orchards than any other town in New England. At the age of 7 he started his first radio station called "WXYZ" using a Mr. Microphone. >From this bucolic upbringing, Jonathan journeyed to Cleveland where he earned a Bachelor’s in Musical Performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music and a Bachelors in Audio Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. After graduating he became president of Tech Efficiency, an on-location computer consulting firm and at the same time served as bassoonist and contrabassoonist for the Canton, Ohio Symphony Orchestra. Jonathan came to Sausalito in 1999 and spent five years with the Branding/Marketing firm Landor Associates rising to the level of Worldwide Technology Coordinator. For the past eight years he has been Manager of Mackenzie & Albritton LLP, a telecommunications law firm in San Francisco. He has served with the Sausalito Arts Commission, the Marin Office of Emergency Services Communications Volunteers and the Sausalito Police Volunteers 73, Jack Burris, K6JEB Program Chair, East Bay Amateur Radio Club -------------- next part --------------An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

INTRODUCING the Sudoroom Global Hackerspace FM broadcast radio project - to the SR discuss list readers.

by giovanni_re

Hi all - short intro here. Sudoroom has the opportunity to join a great project to get all world haackerspaces FM radio broadcast stations, by hackers, for hackers & everyone. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio Broadcast show topics on: News, education, public affairs, Music & arts. The benefits to Sudoroom are that 1) you increase awareness of SR in the Oakland community by being on the FM broadcast air, 2) you thus might increase membership & participation & fundraising for SR,& 3) you inform, educate, & uplift hackers & everyone, including potential hackers, in the local community. :) -- Norman Bradley & I started this project at Noisebridge https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge -- I'm the person working to alert hackerspaces worldwide to this opportunity. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/US_Hackerspace_Radio The key USA date is the FCC Nov 14 application deadline. -- I announced this global project at the Oct 23 wed SR weekly meeting. In attendance were about 6 SR regulars, & 6 first timers. (I also announced this briefly to the biohackers last Friday, about 12 ppl.) -- Matt Senate is wants to get SR to apply for a license, & to have a broadcast station. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Low_Power_FM_Radio I pulled up & bookmarked about 16 links re this, & Matt put them onto the sr wiki. That page needs cosmetic clean up. If you are interested in helping this project, one easy simple contribution would be to clean that page up cosmetically. Then _read_ through those pages! -- I'll send you more info about this as my very limited time permits. Please read the emails i'll send in a minute, & read the pages they link to, if this radio project sounds interesting to you, & you want to help SR, & hackers in Oakland, & everywhere. :) -- Questions? --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.
