Raman making for monday night - The Public School's Summer School Food Night

by Raymond Lai

Hey Sudoers, Call me cuckoo but I want to make ramen noodles for Public School's monday night dinner. It's the start of their Summer School. I am wondering if anyone has a kitchen aide or other mixer with a dough hook? Also I need a pasta maker since hand pulled noodles might be a bit beyond my skill given the time frame. RAMEN!!!

Fwd: Circuit Bending for Music by Sudo Room x RPSC x MCO?

by Jenny Ryan

Any circuit benders in the house? This looks like fun! Forwarded from info(a)sudoroom.org: --------------- Hey all! Ara here from Rock Paper Scissors Collective! I hope you're enjoying the sandwich board; we're loving the lil Netbook over here! On behalf of the upcoming Mission Creek Oakland Music and Arts Festival ( www.mcofest.org), organizer Kiyomi Tanouye and I were thinking to include fellow local community organizations to publicize during the MCO campaign of opportunities to learn methods of making art and music. The festival is throughout the month of September, publicized and sponsored by the East Bay Express. If any of the talented and knowledgeable at Sudo Room were interested in hosting or coming over to RPSC to teach circuit bending tricks, we'd be happy to plug Sudo Room into the campaign! The projected date of the workshop is Sunday, September 8th. Hope you hear from you all soon! --Ara [ara(a)rpscollective.org] Gallery/Events Director

Elcano: An Open Source Ultralight Automated Vehicle

by Jenny Ryan

Forwarded from info@sudoroom.org:* * *--------------------- Automation is gathering momentum, but implementation may shortchange<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> society<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> . * Vehicle automation is too important to leave to the big companies, so Jigsaw Renaissance <http://www.jigsawrenaissance.org/> is putting together a low-cost electronics and software kit that will open selfdrive for DIY experimentation. All contributions are appreciated. Can you help us out either financially or technically? The RocketHub crowdfunding campaign lasts until Monday, August 30, so we have less than 2 weeks for our Popular Science #Crowdgrant<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/partner/popularscience> to fund production of printed circuit boards: http://bit.ly/DIYRobotKits <http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> We are working on implementing our kit into a self-driving vehicle prototype that includes the vehicle, electronics, servos and actuators. One of the goal is to keep the cost down to under $5,000. Our kit will also fit on an RC car, which saves $2,000 on vehicle cost and $500 on actuators. The prototype is a drive-by-wire recumbent tricycle: legally a bicycle, so no hassle with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). And yes, all of our work is open source including the softwares and the electronics schematics. We’re extremely excited about the release of our kits and hope you can help us spread the word. A sustained presence online will propel us well past our intended goal. Please forward this link. Support the project by backing it, tweeting about it (follow our @ElcanoProject<https://twitter.com/ElcanoProject> twitter account), and even blogging about it. We want our platform to be as robust as possible, so your feedback would be awesome. We're happy to answer any questions people might have. The more questions you ask, the better our answers can be! You can look at the current iteration on www.elcanoproject.org. We recently showed our first vehicle at the Stanford workshop on road vehicle automation (http://www.vehicleautomation.org). A second vehicle is being assembled at the University of Washington, Bothell, and will be the focus of a student project: http://blogs.uw.edu/cssuwb/projects/elcano2/ Our electronics system runs on Arduino microprocessors robustly mounted on custom printed circuit boards. We have already built the low level control module, which isolates vehicle specific functions. We are working on the high level module, which combines three separate processors to find current location, plot a path to the destination, and feed the next path segment (avoiding obstacles) to lowlevel control. We also have a design for a module of five sonar range finders. Future modules will handle the operator interface and connect to a PC based simulator. You are welcome to subscribe to the project update: http://fb.me/6qUFeMLZN Feel free to contact us at info(a)ElcanoProject.org with any questions or just to say hello. Thank you!

Interested in working with teens?

by Jenny Ryan

Hey Sudoers! We've had a surge of young people coming by the space who're learning to program (including interest in collaboration from the Oakland Public Library TeenZones, below), and it would be awesome to start a youth programming meetup. Anyone interested in working with teens and teaching programming? Most likely they would self-organize and help each other learn, so it would really be more a matter of holding the space, setting up some communication channels and showing up on a regular basis :) Alt ideas for collaboration welcome and encouraged! Cheers, Jenny * --- forwarded message --- * Wed Aug 07 2013 09:23:17 AM PDT from "Austin, Jeanie" < JAustin(a)oaklandlibrary.org> Subject: Possible collaboration with Oakland Public Library Teen Zones? Hello - I am a teen librarian with the Oakland Public library. We've recently had some discussions around makerspaces and teen programming. Would anyone associated with sudoroom be interested in providing some programs or meeting to discuss ways that there can be a collaboration between the TeenZones and sudoroom? Thank you for your time, Jeanie Austin Teen Librarian Asian Branch Oakland Public Library

Announcing SUMMER SCHOOL 2013 + CALL for Sudo Room Participation ! [from your friends at the Public School!]

by DZ Brazil

Dear Sudo Folks : My name is David Brazil -- I work with the Bay Area Public School -- & I am psyched to announce that the School will be putting on SUMMER SCHOOL 2013 from August 26 through September 1 at the 2141 Broadway space. (Save the dates!) SUMMER SCHOOL is the second installment of a project that began in 2012 -- it's a week-long extravaganza of events, talks, performances, and free food. Each day is convened around "Studying" a certain subject or theme -- to wit : mon.: studying food. tue. : studying bodies. wed. : studying language. thu. studying crisis. fri. studying race. sat. studying information. sun. studying studying (a daylong session on education). We're particularly excited to make SUMMER SCHOOL an occasion for Public School / Sudo Room crossover, & we had the idea to invite folks from Sudo to propose short talks or presentations for the day on 'information' (considered very broadly). We envision the program running from 12noon to 6pm, and breaking down into three 2-hour segments, loosely organized around topics. Subjects could include anything from classes on math, science & computing to the politics of cryptography, projects for an alternative internet, -- really, anything you'd like a lot of people to hear about ! The Public School is so glad to be neighbors with Sudo Room & we really want the SUMMER SCHOOL to be an occasion for us all to work together on an exciting project. If you are interested in participating, or if you have any questions, please write me direct at dzbrazil(a)yahoo.com. Lastly, we will be having weekly planning meetings at 2141, every Thursday at 6pm, from now until August 26 -- so if you are interested in helping plan and organize the school, please come by ! Hope this finds everyone very well -- Love -- David

Collaboration – If it Were That Easy We Would all Do It – Well

by EcoEconomist11＠Gmail.com

Collaboration – If it Were That Easy We Would all Do It – Well By Carl Frappaolo (@carlfrappaolo) Aug 4, 2010 Collaboration is not new to business, but the recent advent of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 tools and technologies have changed the collaborative abilities and scale of distributed collaboration for the enterprise. Whether it’s because the “World is Flat” or you want to tap the “Wisdom of Crowds,” collaboration, we are told should be a part of your business strategy. What Collaboration is Not But, collaboration is more than a word or even an idea. Many individuals speak of collaboration as if it is a single business process or approach to communication and networking. Much of this attitude stems from the popularized viral adoption of social computing Web 2.0 tools. This is not the case for Enterprise 2.0, the application of collaborative tools within the firewall. Recently, Democrasoft president, Richard Lang blogged, “despite best intentions and the best product, an online community will only be successful if there is a motivated person (the Moderator) who is committed to making it successful, on a day-to-day basis”. Some background: Democrasoft is an “easy to deploy” online collaboration tool. Early history with the product saw hundreds of communities using the platform. But, activity plummeted shortly thereafter, not because the tool didn’t work or meet user demands, but simply because — as Democrasoft found out the hard way, communities need a mission or purpose and a leader. Technology alone is not enough. Indeed, if web-based collaboration were only about technology, then any organization with even a modest IT budget would be doing it, and doing it well. But this is not the case. Tools to facilitate collaboration are valuable, but they do not obsolesce the need for strategy. Collaboration needs to be deliberately designed and managed in order to maximize effectiveness and the value of the outcome. If this sounds daunting — you are right. But there are ways to put a framework around your assessment. Begin with your definition of collaboration and community and the specific business goals or objectives desired from collaboration. The 5 Collaboration Models As you define the goals and objectives, translate these into a basic collaboration model or platform. There are 5, as illustrated in the pyramid below. These models are inclusive, that is to say that the models higher on the pyramid embrace the needs and characteristics of those below it. Typically this also means that the models higher up on the pyramid occur at a lesser rate than those below it. Communities of Practice/Interest Communities of Practice and Interest (COP/I) are social platforms that allow members of a community to share ideas and discussion. They are focused on a particular issue or topic, and provide interpersonal knowledge exchange. Content Collaboration Content collaboration is basically a library. Participants post relevant content, and thus collaboratively build the library over time. This can also include the collaborative authoring of new content. Process Collaboration Process collaboration brings the community together through a business process. Individuals collaborate based on tasks in a coordinated series of orchestrated tasks. The goal is typically process efficiency and control, including identification of the right team member at the right time. Project Collaboration Project collaboration has a defined purpose, a start and end date and clearly defined parameters. Goal-based Collaboration Goal-based collaboration involve projects that have well defined specifically articulated outcomes or questions to be answered. The end date is basically determined by the achievement of the goal. The collaboration model(s) you identify should be supported by a technology framework that leverages specific features from specific tools including automated work scheduling and groupware, mashups, blogs, wikis and social networking. Don't Forget Community Dynamics Finally, pay careful attention to the dynamics of the targeted community or you can jeopardize the success of your effort, in spite of any other planning you have done. An organization I worked with did not heed this warning. After under going an intensive assessment it was recommended that corporate culture be addressed first and foremost, as it was contradictory to open and transparent collaboration. When this was pointed out, management took it "under advisement". They went ahead and funded an elaborate technology approach to expertise location and collaboration. The project died, and blame was placed on the technology. This occurred nearly 10 years ago. Will we ever learn? We place new labels on the issue (it's not KM anymore, now its collaboration); new products emerge (SharePoint: "it does everything"), and all too often forget the lessons of the past. We believe that the "new focus" and/or the new technology will deliver on the promise without requiring any strategy. Sent from my iPad

Tonight at 5.30pm - Idealab- Journal Club - Gene Editing wth CRISPR technology (virtual meeting)

by Ryan Bethencourt

Hi All, I'm sending this invite out on behalf of Nina's Idealab journal club who will be leading the journal club with Derek tonight to discuss Gene editing technology, please feel free to join and also sign up for the free virtual meet up! Gene editing technology ROCKS :) http://www.meetup.com/Berkeley-Biolabs/events/136129042/ The next global Biojournal club is this Thursday, Aug 22nd at 5:30pm PST. The session will be held via zoom.us. If you are interested in participating, please make a zoom.us account if you have not done so already. We can also send you 2 short papers on CRISPR applications. Derek Jacoby will discuss one of them, and Nina will go through the other. Nina DiPrimo, PostDoc at UC Berkeley, Biocoder Journal editor and Berkeley Biolabs Founding Partner will be leading the discussion and will be the primary contact if you have any questions. More info on CRISPR's from Wikipedia: *CRISPRs* (*C*lustered *R*egularly *I*nterspaced *S*hort*P*alindromic *R*epeats) are loci <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locus_(genetics)> containing multiple short direct repeats that are found in the genomes of approximately 40% of sequenced bacteria<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteria> and 90% of sequenced archaea <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea>. CRISPR functions as a prokaryotic immune system, in that it confers resistance to exogenous genetic elements such asplasmids<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmids> and phages <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage>.The CRISPR system provides a form of acquired immunity <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquired_immunity>. Short segments of foreign DNA, called spacers, are incorporated into the genome between CRISPR repeats, and serve as a 'memory' of past exposures. CRISPR spacers are then used to recognize and silence exogenous genetic elements in a manner analogous to RNAi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNAi> in eukaryotic organisms. -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 Conf Call: (650) 741 5013 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com http://www.litmususa.com/ http://berkeleybiolabs.com/ www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php

4tb hard drive on shelf

by Jake

i'm sorry, my last post on this subject came out wrong. Mike Kan of all people pointed out that it was a huge list of novels! I included the complete list of files as four attached textfiles, which were turned into raw text by the mailing list. The list of novels drowned out everything else, which was much more valuable information. here is a much more useful list of what's on there (ignoring the kindle folder and the Books folder) this is all on the 4TB external hard drive currently on the main table at sudoroom. oh also, we will now have 10x traffic from the interweb because of all the book titles posted in cleartext. maybe people will visit sudoroom to read the files off the disk? -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCL] Tekla Labs is about to launch a DIY Lab equipment contest

by Jake

I think part of the problem with that is that if you want to make your openPCR do the job in a reasonable time frame, you need to be able to thermally cycle your fluids rapidly. every bit of material you have that is thermally connected to the PCR vials and heating/cooling apparatus is thermal mass that you need to swing, which makes your energy demand greater on your heat pump, and/or slows down your PCR time. that's why the best material for touching the vials will likely be a thin skin of aluminum, shaped like inverted cones on one side and flat surfaces on the other side, but mostly hollow. Such a shape would be designed in openSCAD, modeled with a 3D printout, and either cast at OMI or Jim's or Bernards, or more likely ordered as a metal print from Pomoko or Shapeways or something. unless you don't care about PCR time, in which case yes, you can make your own thermal manifold out of a block of aluminum or lead. -jake Aug 21, 2013 01:58:57 PM, patrikd at gmail.com wrote: > Hi Hol, > > Why don't you guys use Hackteria's drill bit to drill the wells in the > aluminum heat block?

phone at sudoroom

by Jake

as you may have noticed, there is a telephone at sudoroom it's a grey triangle that kinda looks like the klingon flag, and has an on-off button on its keyboard. It's a corporate speakerphone. last night we added a ringing bell to the phone line, so that when people call it will make a proper noise. when you hear the bell, press the on-off button on the speakerphone so you can talk to whoever is calling sudoroom. the phone number to sudoroom is 510-858-7145 if there is nobody at sudoroom, and someone calls, it doesn't matter that the ringer is so loud because nobody lives at sudoroom or would sleep there, so it shouldn't matter if there's a bell ringing in the middle of the night and nobody answering it. -jake PS alternate plans are, replace the speakerphone with a payphone (so it's more obvious how to answer it) or get Georgio to make a circuit to cause the speakerphone to automatically pick up when the phone rings.. or we could just label the on-off button better.

Tekla Labs is about to launch a DIY Lab equipment contest

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, Lina from Tekla labs has reached out and would love to have some entries for the DIY lab equipment contest from CCL and Sudo Room. If you're interested please sign up :) "Tekla Labs is about to launch a DIY Lab equipment contest, hosted by the maker site Instructables. We'll go live this August (ie any day, as soon as the final t's are crossed). There'll be a Lab Equipment category, as well as a Lab Hacks option for quick and clever hardware solutions in the lab. We'd love to get some help getting word out about the competition and maybe see some Bay Area folks (and beyond) applying for the $5000 in prizes. Even more immediately though, you and your DIY network could really help us out by simply helping us create some site activity by joining our member network (which only takes a minute! I promise! And there's no spam) http://www.teklalabs.org/members/<http://www.linkedin.com/redir/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eteklalabs%2Eo…> Of course, it'd be awesome if you or others submit designs (more soon) or get involved in the competition itself in some other capacity, but this quick 1 minute favor would really help our group of fellow science enthusiasts! Please help spread the word!

Boyscouts suing Hacker Scouts !

by Mitch Altman

We really need to put pressure on these F*!&^#(&-ing A*!&^#(&-holes at the Boy Scouts of America. They really do not seem to care about the world we all inhabit, and need to be put in their place. MAKE, Sparkfun, Adafruit are into pressuring the BSA. If we can get a bunch of hackerspaces to do the same, we will make an impact. "no matter what happens, how we all react to a group like the BSA will define "us" fighting and losing is ok, but i think you need to fight it all the way… think of a world where there are hacker scouts, learning sharing and it would all start with a shared victory together over an old oppressive scared group trying to get in the way of the future." -- Phil Torrone, of Adafruit Here are just a few places to add some well-placed comments: >>>>>> Boy Scouts Google+ page: >>>>>> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BoyScoutsofAmerica/posts >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy Scouts Facebook page: >>>>>> https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boy-Scouts-of-America/113441755297 >>>>>> >>>>>> Bot Scouts on Twitter: >>>>>> https://twitter.com/boyscouts >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy Scouts on YouTube: >>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/bsa100years >>>>>> >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> PR(a)scouting.org >>>>>> >>>>>> The official publication for the adult volunteers site: >>>>>> http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org >>>>>> >>>>>> On Twitter: >>>>>> http://www.twitter.com/scouting >>>>>> >>>>>> On Facebook: >>>>>> http://www.facebook.com/scoutingmagazine >>>>>> >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> scoutingmag(a)gmail.com >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy's Life Magazine: >>>>>> http://boyslife.org/ >>>>>> >>>>>> On Twitter: >>>>>> https://twitter.com/BoysLife >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> boyslife.mag(a)scouting.org Best, Mitch.

Fwd: Course for the Fall: i290M- Open Collaboration and Peer Production

by Matthew Senate

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Benthall <sbenthall(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 11:37 AM Subject: Course for the Fall: i290M- Open Collaboration and Peer Production To: oa-team(a)lists.berkeley.edu, open-it(a)lists.berkeley.edu Cc: D-Lab Team <dlab-team(a)lists.berkeley.edu>, Aaron Culich < aculich(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Hi all, Just wanted to circulate this course announcement for what we'll be teaching this Fall. Note the section at the end where we are encouraging people working on open projects to contact us so we can direct students towards them. Please forward widely. Thanks -- Seb *i290M Fall 2013 : Open Collaboration and Peer Production* *Instructors : Sebastian Benthall, Thomas Maillart and John Chuang* *Class : F 11am-1pm in South Hall 210* *Lab : T 1-2pm in South Hall 202 and on Internet Relay Chat (IRC)* http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i290m-ocpp/site/information.html *Course Description : *This course is a hands-on exploration of the theory and practice of open online collaboration. Students will engage multi-disciplinary literature about collaboration while contributing to an existing open project (such as open source software, Wikipedia, or OpenStreetMap). Readings will explore business models for open source software organizations, incentives of cooperation and organization design for open source projects. Practical work will be organized around themes of project management infrastructure, community self-governance, and engineering education through open source participation. The goal of the class is to engage students in an existing open source community while developing functionality and expertise that can be part of iSchool Masters projects, faculty-directed research, and beyond. *Prerequisites* : Programming skills are not a prerequisite, but programmers are more than welcome to join. Students will come to the first lecture with an idea of the open project they want to contribute to, and which problem they want to address. If possible, a first contact with the community active in the project should already be established. *UC Berkeley Open Source Projects Promotion * This class promotes contributions by students to UC Berkeley Open Source Projects. Feel free to contact us at sb(a)ischool.berkeley.edu to explain your progress so we can match students with it.

sudo mate gear

by Marc Juul

I have been told that one or more of the people currently running sudo mate have removed mate-brewing gear from sudo room and are apparently brewing at another location. This seems like something that should have been brought up with the group, or at least been announced to the mailing list. (Perhaps it was and I just missed the email?) There are now a few issues: 1. No-one else can now brew mate at sudo room. 2. Some of that gear was purchased by and for the beer brewing group, which made the last bottling session problematic. 3. I don't know the contact info for anyone who knows about this. Who-ever moved the gear: We love you for brewing delicious sudo mate for sudo room, but please reply to this email and update the sudo mate wiki page! -- Marc Juul
