We have new equipment: a Wacom bamboo tablet
How do we store it so nobody steals it but everyone can use it?
I'd like to start some drawing sessions!
Is there a scanner at sudo room ?

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Panic! Noisebridge will close down in
July UNLESS YOU READ ALL OF THIS EMAIL (Part 1 of many)
To: Noisebridge-Announce <noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net>
Cc: Noisebridge Discuss <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>
Long email. Really really worth it. Go down to bit marked {}{}{}{} if
you don't want Noisebridge to die. There are links down there. Helpful,
useful, stop-Noisebridge-dying links.
So, Noisebridge The Great, San Francisco's most awesome
free-as-in-speech hackerspace, was packed tonight. There was the backend
webdev with Ruby kids, the Light Patterns with LED and Arduinos gang
were teaching up a storm, Gent Thaci from Kosovo (the world's second
youngest country!) was giving a talk explaining how free software
hackers are helping build a new nation, and how Noisebridge and other
hackerspaces were inspiring him and his friends.
Lots of people were plotting the fundraiser for this weekend, others
were mopping and sweeping, somebody is building a huge mysterious thing
out of wood, and oh my.
We had the weekly meeting, and two things happened. One is that we
consensed on making me the new treasurer.
Then the old outgoing treasurer revealed we only have $7000 left in the
bank.
Our monthly expenses are $5000.
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I AM MADE TREASURER.
I am about to POUNCE on our accounts to explore out what's going on in
intricate ultra-transparent detail (expect even longer bloody emails
soon), but I already have a pretty good idea. Our income wobbles up and
down because we rely a lot on random donations. Sometimes we pull in
more donations, and sometimes we pull in less. We've been pulling in
less for a few months now, and if that carries on, we're all done by
July.
As in, can't pay rent and have to shut down.
I am not too keen on being the treasurer that managed to kill
Noisebridge in less than three months, but I HAVE A PLAN.
1) Panic (see this mail)
2) Big fundraiser on Saturday! Come and party and donate! (I admit this
was already happening and planned before I became treasurer, but still.)
{{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{
SERIOUS BIT:
3) When I heard how screwed we were, I instantly ran across the space to
the Ruby class and gave a little speech asking them to give money. Some
of them signed up for monthly donations, many dropped some bucks in the
donation bucket. People love us, and want to give us money! We need to
ask people who love us for cash more often, and I will.
But for now sporadic donations are not enough. We need to increase
Noisebridge's regular, guaranteed monthly income so we don't dip so low.
I figure that out of the thousand or so people who use Noisebridge, love
Noisebridge, have a Noisebridge key they're waiting to use, or are just
happy something like Noisebridge exists somewhere in the world, young
and old, bazillionaire dotcommer or ingenious starving hacker, can pay
$10 or maybe more a month to keep Noisebridge stable and regular.
But it turns out it is actually really hard to pay us regularly. You can
use Paypal, but some people do not like Paypal, and it needs a credit
card. You can drop $10 in the box, but what hacker remembers that every
month? What hacker remembers to pay their *own* bills every month?
Also, what do you get for $10 a month? Sure, you get the world's
craziest hackerspace, not-even-run by anarchist lunatics who built
WikiLeaks and run one of the biggest Tor nodes and work for the EFF and
construct X-Ray Lasers from spare parts and inspire SciFi books and
start 3D printing companies and make kombucha and robots, and you get to
come to it 24/7 and we'll give you a key, and share our software and our
classrooms and teach you how to fix your laptop or use our woodshop or
share our library or use the darkroom or cook some food or have a free
shell account or throw a party or chase a robot or paint a picture or
make a dress. But you could do that without paying $10 anyway, right?
Well, maybe only until July, but yes, I agree you should get more.
{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}
So here is my deal as the All New Treasurer:
If you send me your email, RIGHT NOW, to treasurer(a)noisebridge.net , and
just pledge to me that you would like to pay $10 (or more) a month to
Noisebridge, I promise:
* I will sort out a way to get you to pay, even if it is sending one of
my minions to your house to pick up $10 worth of quarters from your
couch. Do not sweat about Paypal or stuff. We are going bust. We will
find a way to help you donate in the easiest way possible. For now,
I just need you to pledge.
* If 200 people splurge $10 a month, and we can collect the money from
them, we will
be stable enough to keep going past July (our current burn rate is $2Kish).
* If 300 or so people do this, we will slowly get back to our $15K reserve
without support from companies or the government or charitable
foundations (though I am hitting up other people of course). At that
point, I will advocate we start spending your money on a COMPLETELY
COOL RENOVATIONS OF NOISEBRIDGE. I will RAM THROUGH CONSENSUS that we
should spend any money that is more than three months reserve on
infrastructure improvements. Everyone loves me, so they will agree. If
they do not, we will just keep the money around for emergencies like
this. It will be like Kickstarter "stretch goal"! Only via a strangely
formatted text-only email!
* Everyone on my pledge list will be an Associate Member for the purposes
of strange Noisebridge politics. But I insist they will get more!
* As Treasurer, I solemnly declare that everyone on my list will be
heretofore known as SAVIOURS OF NOISEBRIDGE. That will make them
BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THE HISTORY OF NOISEBRIDGE. When somebody
asks you to move out of the way for a class, you can just say I AM A
SAVIOUR. When someone needs you to wash dishes, just say EXCUSE ME I
AM A SAVIOUR OF NOISEBRIDGE. Some people may have started Noisebridge
and be all hoighty-toighty. BUT YOU WILL HAVE STOPPED NOISEBRIDGE
STOPPING. And far more recently than them. YOU WILL BE THE BESTEST.
* If you are another hackerspace, and you communally pledge $10, we will
come and wash your dishes and try and fix your 3D printer.
That is my once-in-a-lifetime offer.
Send me mail at treasurer(a)noisebridge.net with how much you pledge, and
I will add you to the saviour list.
Go to this web form and add your name, I will add you to the saviour list:
http://nburl.net/pledge
Better still, go to this Paypal page, and sign up for $10 and I will
INSTANTLY MAKE YOU A SAVIOUR:
http://nburl.net/save
Donate to Noisebridge via Causes.com, and THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN:
http://nburl.net/causes
As newbie naive hubristic impatient Treasurer I will set up Amazon
Payments, Square, Swipe, Dwolla and whatever the hell you want. I will
work out a way to get your payment from China or Brazil, Kosovo or New
York. But first I need you to pledge!
I will let everyone know how many people pledge, and keep mailing long
emails until we are saved.
We have three months to save Noisebridge.
Help me, only tenbucks monthly, you're my only hope.
http://nburl.net/pledge
d.
PS Did I say to come to our fundraiser party? This Saturday, 3PM- late.
Tutorials, music, raffles, art and more!

PPS Pledge 10 bucks and I will also stop with the Star Wars puns.

Bonkers readers,
I am unable to make the meeting tonight, but in doing so would like to kick
off a trend to aid with any voting, be it official or straw-poll.
Anthony Di Franco if in attendance may vote on my behalf, else
If Jordan Cohen if in attendance may vote on my behalf.
A note on format:
By do-ocracy, I have created a format for declaring voting delegates.
It occurs on your Wiki user page, as an ordered list. To prevent frivolity,
you must make alliterating triplets describing each delegate. For example
see: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/User:Maximilianklein#Delegates
Sudoers,
Following a related conversation earlier, here's info on a DIY cellphone:
http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=2182https://github.com/damellis/cellphone
I'd love to follow any development that happens around here. Not a coder, but happy to test!
j.
P.S. from the "you knew it was coming" dept:
How Hard Is It to 'De-Anonymize' Cellphone Data?
http://j.mp/14oUhaC (Science Daily)
"The proliferation of sensor-studded cellphones could lead to a wealth
of data with socially useful applications -- in urban planning,
epidemiology, operations research and emergency preparedness, among
other things. Of course, before being released to researchers, the
data would have to be stripped of identifying information. But how
hard could it be to protect the identity of one unnamed cellphone user
in a data set of hundreds of thousands or even millions? According to
a paper appearing this week in Scientific Reports, harder than you
might think."
Hi Steve,
I put that project up on the etherpad. Last night we did 2-axis control of a webcam using hobby servos controlled by an arduino with pointing instructions sent via serial and we have a few industrial servos used for HVAC that I would like to experiment with at some point for dish pointing. They are there next to the dishes if you want to check them out and pull the datasheets, run on 24V ac or dc with an odd way of sending the signal. Personally I am trying (and failing somewhat) to focus on CNC and brewing/process control so it might be a while before I can help with a detailed project, but I would like to figure out how to drive those servos. What kind of pointing accuracy do you need? My guess is that these will not cut it, but that doesn't mean we can't put something together. Still have not had a second rocket meetup either now that I think of it...
Cheers,
Hol

We are two days away from the beginning of the second microcontroller project hacking night at sudo room. As someone suggested, I created a facebookpage for the event. Please invite people you think might be interested! I previously ordered 10 ATMega328p chips and crystals, and will have them available at cost ($5) for those just starting out who want a basic controller.

This will be an ongoing document, and is intended to provide a subsystem-level view of project elements in order to encourage people to join together to work on individual elements or principles where interests overlap in a way that permits a limited scope of collaboration, without having to commit to recurring work on an entire project.

We had some interesting projects last time and I expect even more this time, hopefully with a few people from the last event returning to show what they've done with their projects since then. Personally I will try to go back and forth between 50% working on 2-3 projects, 30% getting newbies started on their controller builds, and 20% snacking/shooting the shit. Looking forward to seeing y'all!

I'm seeing very smart conversations about off grid alternative energy infrastructure and systems here
Is there a way to easily show me in a chart what the off grid alternatives are that are not discussed in the cool Silicon Valley greentech scene?
And I hope nobody bashes greentech too much... It's become such a dirty word in the investment community because its returns are not quick and easy like mobile social networks
There are a lot of great biofuels panels I worked on where the idea of off grid wasn't presented because its not a viable business model.
I think the lesbian biofuels reclaimed cooking oil gas station in Berkeley I met a fee years ago was neat but it was hard to make people see it as relevant in a deal flow
So I feel my education is incomplete as are other Americans

As Marina mentioned in her email, we're *short rent* and need to *collect
dues* from everyone to cover it. I understand that meeting attendance
hasn't been as high as active membership in general, but if you've missed
out on paying dues in the last month, can do so, and can make it tonight,
come!
One thing I thought might make a significant different in collecting rent
and dues is having a (physical) drop box installed on the wall in Sudoroom,
so that people could safely drop off checks at any time of the day. I
suppose this would be much like the mailbox, but mayhaps with keys
distributed to the ~5 checksigners, so that checks could even be dropped
off in this physical box after receiving them in the mail. I'm broke until
I get my first paycheck from my new work in ~2.5 weeks, and don't really
have a lot of things, so I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about a
potential lockable dropbox to install on the wall / somewhere at Sudoroom.
If all else fails, I'll check out urban ore before the meeting.
tl;dr: pay rent.

Hello nice persons,
Would any of you python mathematical types be willing to help me solve
a problem using pandas (and/or numpy)?
The math itself isn't hard; the difficulty revolves around my
unfamiliarity with the tools, and good god is this ever a huge load of
learning I'm having to do just to reshape some data.

Romy,
I believe you misread my intent. It was NOT about PR and they aren't selling anything except t-shirts (for the non-creative). It was a request for interest in participating. Sudo is a creative community. I'd waste our time asking for anything else, no?

Hey I hung out at sudo room yesterday ... The sound art guys were cool!
Then came a public school dance group -- this lady led a bunch of male dancers which was neat. I'm so used to women dance troupes
It got me thinking:: how do you get the different groups to cross pollinate more?
Do sudo room people mix much with the dancers or the public school?
I'm already thinking of ways to coax the dance group to work with the experimental sound guys and do some kind of dance music hack!
Maybe we can build arduinos to put on the dancers !

I'm watching the Recent Changes list and seeing a huge wave of spam.
I wasn't paying attention to the wiki until about a week ago, so
forgive my ignorance, but is there a strategy for dealing with this
stuff? Can I help?
Cheers,

I'm a kopimist rabbi and can perform conversions, but they're not
recognized by most haredi kopimists. I can also write kopimist fatwas.
And who's interested in getting kopimism religious services started up again?

I am a happy girl, sitting in the hackerspace feeling all pwnie, which is
like a bronie, only not at all. (But I do like unicorns!)
I was given the password to the downstairs door on Friday. I came inside
imagining that there would be other people up here. Alas. There was no one.
I tried the downstairs password on the upstairs door. FAIL! (Mine, not the
system's or the hackers that put it together.) I could not get in. In fact,
I didn't even know the right URL to *get* in the door.
So I sat my bee-hind down on a couch in the common room, got on the wiki,
looked up "door access", found the server name for the inside door access,
and went there. It took me a few tries to figure out the password, but it
was not a hard one.
The door lock is kinda sticky. You can get the right password on the right
URL and hear the mechanism trying to do its thing, but the lock doesn't
fully unlock. The trick is to push the door closed tighter while the lock
turns.
So, yup, I'm inside. Between bringing cookies and breaking into the space,
I guess I should fill out the web form and start calling myself a real
sudoer now. :p
How secure do we need these doors to be? If we have people in the space
MOST of the time, then there is a lower need for security. With an often
empty space, there's maybe more of a risk of theft, vandalism or other
nastiness.
Security through obscurity is no security at all.

thank you so much bill! this was an absolutely urgent need and i would like
to extend a million thank yous to you for fixing it. we will suffer through
the lack of a single sign on, but that pain is worth it for the pleasure of
having the wiki up and running.
i'd like to also take a moment to thank others who have been doing awesome
stuff for the sudo community (if i have left you off the list this is my
oversight and not an intentional slight!):
thanks to andrew & jordan for working on the outside door - this is
imperative!
thanks to mitch for the soldering workshop yesterday
thanks to naomi for organizing the radio room (i'm sorry, but i unplugged
the ethernet switch because it was giving me some trouble!)
thanks to whoever has been getting the site up and running every time it
goes down
thanks to ray for feeding us at meetings and to all who have taken on the
roles of exchequer, facilitator, note taker, and last minute etherpad
switcher
thanks to everyone who has been trying to improve our conflict resolution
process
thanks to morten for bringing his family by to see the space and say hello
and thanks to everyone else who comes to the space, hacks at the space,
brings others to the space, and works to improve things that allow our
community to work better together and love sudo room.

Hi All,
Has anyone seen the 4x4 keypad thats been laying around the space for a
while? Its got a regular set of buttons you would find on a touch tone
phone plus A - D?
PS losing this will not delay the door project as i have a spare, but that
one already had headers sodered on.
Thanks,
Andrew
I think while its apparent that a discussion on issues of privilege, who is sheltered from what types of harm by existing social structures, and related topics are beyond the reach of this discussion, some of the statements i'm seeing in this sound like garden variety victim blaming. If that many people had been that overwhelmed by him, there wouldnt be criminal charges on record.

The wiki has been fixed, there was a problem with the wordpress common
login with mediawiki plugin. This means, unfortunately, there is no
unified login. So reset your wiki passwords
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Special:PasswordReset and you'll get a
new temporary pw emailed to you.
It is a long and arduous process, but the spirit of righteous

In case folks are curious about what is going on at NB regarding this
individual who repeatedly stalked people to their homes.
Whatever your take on safe spaces and openness, this discussion may help to
inform your conception of potential dangers to different members of the
community. I hope we all work to be open to the experiences, and needs, of
others.

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Consensus on Barring Shawn Landden from the
Noisebridge space and community (Was Re: On Asking People To Leave (Was Re:
Shawn L. ))
To: "Noisebridge-discuss" <Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>
Last night, we reached consensus on the decision to ban Shawn from
Noisebridge and the community, which in full wording goes, "Shawn Landden
is barred from Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or
participating in the community."
The statement is intentionally worded to so it can be interpreted to
encompass DIGITAL as well as PHYSICAL space.
You can see the meeting notes at
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2013_03_19
I am relieved to see the community band together on this decision, without
hesitation, and hope that it encourages people hurt by this person to
return and continue to be a part of our community. :) Because we do care.
And I always look forward to discussions on what we can do to do better
next time, because it will happen again, at Noisebridge, at every
hackerspace, and it will happen with people we like and are very attached
to and we need to be prepared, mentally, to make difficult decisions.
I know members of other hackerspaces like to joke about Noisebridge drama,
but this is not silly Internet drama. These are real problems that happen
in every hackerspace, every place on the planet, and we're trying to solve
a problem that is unsolved (how can you guarantee the safety of people in a
space, when that space is in a society where violence and threats against
people is accepted, even lauded, because the recipients are women?).
We talk about it openly, and I'm glad talk is open. Information is our best
tool here.

the wiki is down
so this is an ultra simple question
new person wantsto hack on a saturday or sunday afternoon
how does a noob do it?
i know there is some code thing... i always prefer to go there when someone
else is there.
it's irc right?
Hi, I wanted to start publicizing my workshop this Saturday for Today I Learned. But it looks like the wiki for Today I Learned is broken. Is it still OK to do the workshop on Saturday afternoon? My idea is to teach anyone and everyone to solder using lots of fun and intriguing kits for total beginners to complete successfully (and cool enough for experts to enjoy, too). TV-B-Gone kits, Brain Machine kits, blinky-light kits, and lots, lots more. Anyone can learn this stuff! All skill levels, all ages -- all welcome! More info:https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Mondays Any way to get the workshop on the Sudo Room main calendar? It would be nice to use this to attract some new folks to Sudo Room. Thanks,Mitch.

Cisco has made the assertion that there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet by 2020. That number might be high or low as it related to “devices” but I think it seriously underestimates the number of connected things that we’ll need to eventually contend with—by several orders of magnitude. The real number is likely in the trillions.
The driver, of course, is Moore’s law. John Clippinger reports that an Android phone can be had for $30 in some places. That same connected, computational, sensor platform will cost $3.00 and then $0.30 and then $0.03. When a wireless sensor platform costs $0.03 where will it be? Everywhere. Everything, even disposable things like razors or pens, will be gathering data…about you.
We probably don’t really have a choice about whether a $0.03 wireless sensor platform will exist. Technology marches on.
But we do have a choice about how it will be employed. If we follow the path we’re on now, all those devices will be controlled by some company somewhere that is providing the service behind them. [snip]
hi everyone,
tonight is the inauguration and launch event of hack the gallery, a new
creative collaborative space in north berkeley. there will be a short panel
of speakers (including mitch altman and a number of sudoers and
sudofriends), a live piano performance, and socializing in the space (which
used to be a theater!)
PLUS ray will be catering with vegan ice cream!
Where: 1861 Solano Avenue A, Berkeley, California
When: 7-9PM (doors open at 6PM)
Why: because we support more hacker and creativespaces in the bay area and
beyond! :)
More info (including the list of speakers):

Hi guys, (all sexes)
I just came back from the noisebridge to go over some details with Mitch,
who checked out my space in berkeley last week.
i wanted to announce it Wednesday at the Meeting but as you are
talking about Friday 22nd
I have to do it now:
So I am running this community Art Gallery called the "Open Fine Art
Gallery" in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre in north
Berkeley, 2 miles north of downtown.
As an art gallery its fun to bring people together, lots of new
artists that never showed before,
but nothing sells and financially it really sucks to be honest, all
savings almost gone.
We have been transitioning to a community center, every open day
(wed-sat) there is a free and donation based class...
On Friday March 22 we have a Fundraiser and Kick-Off coming up and we
are going to declare the Space a quantum community space, which means
a superposition of
- hackerspace
-makerspace
-tinkerspace
-co-creator space
- coworking space
-developer space
- you name it whatever space
- avocado institute
- nyan cat university
and whatever the people who use it as a creative community space want to
call it
(declare it sudo!?)
I have been asking some folks that opened community spaces to give talks as
well
and want to announce that anybody who wants to give a talk on
- opening a community space
- why a community space is awesome
please let me know for the awesome people in our community who have
awesome stuff to share about this and might wanna do so. With or
without Powerpoint, well planned or spontaneouly.
The place has a huge potential (45 feet high walls, vacant theatre next
door)
So I would like to invite you all to the Kick-Off Event, and also to
be part of transition,
please let me know if you wanna get involved.
best ,
Patrick

Tamale is our door controller, as you probably know. It controls the
doorknob by a USB cable. The cable is spliced in two wires which were
apparently VERY LOOSELY attached to two pins on the raspi. In the
process of running ethernet cable from the crawlspace, we accidentally
knocked into tamale and both the wires came loose. We don't know how
they were attached! We'll try trial & error, but it would be very
helpful if someone could help us, who actually put it together in the
first place. How ironic that we finally get the outer door connected,
and then we break the inner door.
tl;dr could tamale's makers please help us fix the USB pins?

Hi Sudo room-
So we had our show on Saturday night and felt like it went really well. We
love the space, you guys and the feeling of 2141 Brdwy. A lot more people
showed up than expected, but it felt like the space could handle it and I
think we cleaned up well afterwards.
We wanted to check in and see if you were okay with us continuing to have
the show there monthly, hopefully on the 2nd Saturdays. If you have any
concerns, either about what happened on Saturday or about what you imagine
could happen in the future then lets talk about them. Either way, if you
are into the show, we would love to talk a little bit about how to make it
sustainable for everyone.
Also, if have the show at the space next month, we were hoping to have the
theme be Hacking and would love to have a guest or two though Sudo room!
Tell us what you think about everything. Thanks!

Oakland Nights...Live!
I got a hold of George and asked him about running the cables, and he
basically unlocked a closet door with access to a crawlspace and said
"have at it!" So if someone can get enough cable to Sudoroom TODAY or
TONIGHT, then we can solve this problem! I've looked everywhere,
including the networking closet in the hallway (George opened it for
me) and I can't find any large spools of Cat5.
I'm going to crawl up and measure exactly how long we need. In the
meantime, can someone please help get some cable here? Thanks!
Today I worked on removing some of the 3rd party javascript trackers
from the wordpress. You'll see that there's now a click-through for
WePay. This is so that the remote javascript normally included in every
pageload will now only be included if you click on the WePay button.
This means WePay can no longer track your browsing pattern through
sudoroom wordpress, and it's js is only included if you opt in. I've
also disabled the 3rd party javascript that JetPack includes by default.
I've also added a flattr button so that you can give us a microdonation
through flattr!

Dear Sir,
It gives me pleasure to announce the release of our new publication "Funding
your Science Idea" - Edition 2.
"Funding your Science Idea" is your comprehensive guide to all the funding
opportunities available for the Indian science industry. For the FIRST time
ALL the opportunities offered by the government, the private equity groups
and bodies are included for an easy reference.
Other salient features include the flowchart description of funding process
for many organizations. Finally, it is easy to understand the process of the
funding. Also included are the "time" that organizations would take to fund,
as well as reviews by already funded organizations about their experience.
I am sure this would be of immense use to you and your organization. I
attach a sample copy for your kind perusal. Please let me know your interest
in purchasing the publication, and I will send you the pricing information.
Kind Regards,
Radha Krishnan

Hi all, I'd like to repurpose Calagator, the open source community calendar
from Portland: http://calagator.org/
The goal is to set up a calendar for Oakland that lists educational +
public events.
The problem is that I'm not a very good Ruby on Rails developer (the
technology that the calendar is written with). It can be deployed to Heroku
but I had some issues.
Is there anyone that has some Rails skills willing to help deploy + babysit
the app (patch occasional rails security vulnerabilities :D)? If so, please
email me.
Here is an issue on Github that summarizes the problems I had:
https://github.com/calagator/calagator/issues/25
Thanks!
Max
