Fwd: [spaghettinight] You're invited to Hear from a Basque (Spain) ecovillage researcher/blogger over tea tonight at PLACE

by Marina Kukso

hi all, an alternate event for this evening if you're not coming to sudo :) you can go to this event and represent us! - marina ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raines Cohen <raines(a)mac.com> Date: Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 4:14 PM Subject: [spaghettinight] You're invited to Hear from a Basque (Spain) ecovillage researcher/blogger over tea tonight at PLACE To: The Spaghetti Night mailing list <spaghettinight(a)tentacle.net> Spaghettifolk, we've got a fun guy in town involved in international sustainable communities (like your lovely group homes) and we're having him over for tea tonight at a PLACE for Sustainable Living, the neighborhood ecovillage near Alcatraz and San Pablo. We are hosting a researcher/videoblogger from Northern Spain who is giving a talk tonight about his explorations of sustainable community. Join *Ortzi Akizu* tonight over tea in conversations about his travel to explore different sustainable living models around the world. It would be a delight to see you there - he almost made it to SpaghettiNight at Cooperative Roots last night, but the East Bay Permaculture Guild meeting ran long, and he is eager to meet some of you before he leaves town tomorrow. Come early for potluck, or later for conversation and tea. Optional RSVP via our East Bay Cohousing MeetUp group: http:// www.ebcoho.org/events/134540422/ P.S. If you've got any openings to fill, we've got lots of eager, experienced community seekers on our East Bay Cohousing group and can help facilitate introductions and connections, and/or list your open house events, in more effective ways than the Craig's List overwhelm. I just yesterday ran into a SpaghettiNighter from Milky Way Co-op who found some folks from our list, and two others who we connected to Prudence Crandall House.

Fwd: [FixitClinic] Leapfrog educational tablets

by Steve Berl

Anyone interested? -steve ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Mui <petermui(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 7:49 AM Subject: [FixitClinic] Leapfrog educational tablets To: fixitfan(a)googlegroups.com Hi Fixit Fans: Are you interested in this? Contact Jon directly. -Peter Begin forwarded message: *From: *J L <juanitobandito(a)hotmail.com> *Subject: **Fixit: Leapfrog educational tablets* *Date: *August 13, 2013 12:41:55 AM PDT *To: *"petermui(a)gmail.com" <petermui(a)gmail.com> Hi, Peter, My mom works for the West Contra Costa County School District. The district is decommissioning hardware and software for the Leapfrog Leap Pad system. There are 30 non-working tablets. My mom suspects the styluses need attention. She can show someone how to do this, but she doesn't have the time to do it herself. These tablets and probably many more would then be available (with accompanying hard- and software) for donation to an NGO or other after-school program. The set-up just requires one Windows XP computer per classroom. Is this something Fixit Clinic could help with? We don't know who might need this system, but my mom says it's a good learning methodology. Without repair and a donation recipient, a few classrooms worth of stuff will become e-waste.

Workshop idea: Make extra chargers for your portable electronics

by Thomas Levine

We have a bunch of AC/DC power adapters lying around, and we could turn these into extra chargers for our respective laptops and phones. Is anyone interested in having a session on this? If so, I'll run it. The session might go like this. 1. I explain the relevant stuff about electricity (for at most 10 minutes). 2. We look up the electrical requirements of our devices. 3. We look for matching chargers. 4. If a charger supplies the right electricity but has the wrong plugs, we cut off the plugs and exchange them. We'd need these materials. * Things you want to make adapters for * Adapters that you're not using, to add to our pool in Sudoroom I can also bring some assorted plugs. If you have a Mac laptop, you should acquire a broken charger; the plugs seem to be proprietary.

Logo Revision

by Ryan

After a long hiatus, the logo revision is back online and ready to be discussed. I've attached a four page .pdf to review the latest iterations based on the last feedback I received. For those not familiar, we've been discussing this for several months now, and have gone through a lot of different ideas. Prudently, most sudoers have gravitated towards the logo sketches more similar to the current logo, and here we are. This Survey Monkey survey question <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Z9W5K3Y>applies to the Very Last Page (4) of the attached presentation. Please provide feedback.

Great to see SudoRoom at the Noisebridge party!

by Romy Ilano

It was cool sitting with the SudoRoom folks in the Noisebridge Library. So many people would have tried to get on my case about how "print is dead" and told me books are "dead trees." I should go "look online" where all the "information" is. It was cool learning about POSIX, going over SmallTalk, and learning about Ruby, Python and so on while looking at print books. Viva SudoRoom!

make your own RFID tag

by Jake

i mean, the real things are only about $2 and an attiny chip is $1, and your time is surely worth something, and you should just get a numeric code to get into sudoroom, which doesn't require any matter, but in case you decide to make an RFID tag yourself, here's how: http://scanlime.org/2008/09/using-an-avr-as-an-rfid-tag/ i believe this will work with the sudoroom RFID reader. but why bother? you can just buy a tag or get a code you can type in. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] Oakland Police Radio Feed

by Jake

does anyone know what the frequency is? One can buy a $12 SDR receiver which plugs into the USB, and can decode many kinds of radio signals including fancy encryptable signals used by some police depts. once we get reception going, it will be appropriate to talk about choosing a server to host a stream. -jake Aug 6, 2013 09:34:34 AM, yardenack at gmail.com wrote: >There used to be a way to listen online to OPD's radio communications >here: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10182 > >This required someone in the city to connect an analog radio and serve >the content digitally.

I don't know. We do! Our paired DSL comes with two phone numbers: 510-858-5052 510-858-7145 Right now our modem is attached directly to a 2-line jack. To start receiving calls, all we need is a splitter box and DSL filters. Last I checked there were a number of decent handsets lying around. We really should have done this already, and I'm glad someone is showing the initiative. :)

sudoroom phone!

by Jake

I think sudoroom should have a telephone! a real telephone, wired into the wall. Perhaps sudoroom already has a telephone number? I don't know. The reason i say this is because unlike noisebridge, sudoroom is only open (to non-members a.k.a. potential members) at uncertain times. I would really like to be able to tell these people "call this number to see if anyone is at the space". That way, if sudoroom is open, the members there can answer the telephone and tell the noobs that it's okay to bike over, or whatever they do for transport. If there is not a telephone at sudoroom already, I think we should set up a VOIP phone. I know there is at least one VOIP box at sudoroom and if not, i volunteer to donate one. (it's just a little box that plugs into the ethernet, and has a telephone jack) If anyone has a nice telephone, we can use that. Alternately I volunteer to grab a payphone from noisebridge (there are a couple on a shelf) and bolt it to the wall inside sudoroom and set it up. but i am not willing to set up the VOIP account and configure the little box, someone else can do that. Fortunately the cost of a VOIP phone line is on the order of $2 per month (yes thats right). I think it should be a 510 number, because some people don't have long distance and it actually matters. -jake

Radio Update

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, radio room was rearranged this past weekend and is still somewhat in flux. things are disconnected and kind of all over the place. also the raspberry pi that was streaming content from the radio room to radio.sudoroom.org has a problem and i am borrowing both it and the audio interface that was attached to it to troubleshoot it. i've left notes in the radio room to this effect as well. will aim to return both of these (hopefully fixed!) within the next few days! best, marina

What projects are you working on?

by Jenny Ryan

Hi everyone! I'm working with Judi from San Leandro to put together our first BACH [Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces] newsletter. We'd like to highlight the projects people are working on in various hackerspaces around the Bay Area. *Please reply to this thread with a one-sentence description of something you've been working on at the space* (feel free to add more details, but start with a sentence that summarizes so I don't have to ;) ). I'll start: The Oakland mesh group just finished a successful crowdfunding campaign <https://www.wepay.com/xtewtey> to bootstrap the first 100 nodes, consisting of low-cost routers and antennas to make point-to-point wifi connections across the East Bay. Mesh networks are awesome because they don't depend on the existing centralized Internet Service Providers to function. Though they can be connected to the Internet as we know it now, a mesh provides a decentralized means of communication with our local community. We view mesh networks as a means of reconnecting to our neighbors, supporting local businesses, and enabling grassroots community collaboration. In the event of disaster or government censorship, an active mesh network is a resilient mode of communication and sharing of information. Learn more<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh> . Thanks!

Oakland Police Radio Feed

by Yardena Cohen

There used to be a way to listen online to OPD's radio communications here: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10182 This required someone in the city to connect an analog radio and serve the content digitally. They regularly had over 100 listeners, and peaked at 3000+ during crisis events. But it was hosted in an office that just closed shop and so as of today, they had to take down their feed. Right now I don't think there's another way to listen to OPD online. Perhaps this is a gap that Sudoroom could fill? Does anybody know how to get something like this set up? I imagine we'd need to relay to a data center because of the large number of streamers. Or maybe just colocate locally? Does anyone know a cheap colo in Oakland?
