Reminder: CORE I Class on Thursday from 6:30-9pm!

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers! This email is to remind y'all that this Thursday, Feb 21st from 6:30-9pm we will be holding our first CORE (Communities of Oakland Respond to Emergencies) class at sudo room (which will actually be taking place in the Public School's room as they're hosting a poetry reading that same evening). This is the first in a series of three classes offered by Oakland's First Responders. This class will cover basics of self-reliance in the event of a disaster or emergency that could take out power and other essential infrastructure for up to weeks at a time. The CORE I class teaches students how to prepare a family disaster plan, reduce common household hazards, create emergency supply kits, and respond to a number of possible emergencies, including earthquakes and fires. To RSVP, please email me directly. The current RSVP list is here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/CORE_I_RSVP \o/ Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

TPB_AFK and other questions

by :::Marty:::

Hi Sudoers A couple of things. I didn't get much of a response for screening *The Pirate Bay film* and as Jenny pointed out Tuesdays are super busy. How does this *Friday 2/22 *work for people? There are no conflicts i can see on either the Sudo calendar or the Public school. Also i wanted to know that i've acquired a *first aid kit for Sudoroom* so we can take it off the wish list. Ill bring it in later in the week. I am also looking for folks interested in *developing The Public School *website. There are a lot of improvements to be made and there is a test server already running. The site runs on Drupal. So if any dev types have some extra time or interest i can get you access or we could do a hackathon to shore up the site.

Javascript meetup folks

by William Turner

I wasn't able to attend the Javascript meetup this evening but I would like to reach out to anybody who is attending these meetings and possibly interact online outside of the meetings IE share code, ideas, projects and built a rapport. I have a project I'm doing for people interested in audio & Javascript here http://interactiveaudio.wikiaudio.org . It's a (slow-moving) tutorial series & I'm still learning and code every day. If I can contribute anything to sudo room in the way of a knowledge base let me know. I have extensive knowledge of audio as well as an increasing understanding of *web audio*. Please reach out 510 816 2816. I'm actually curious if sudo room has a projector that can be hooked up to a computer in the main room to do presentations. I would like to possibly do a small one on web audio as well as suggest a few on more complicated concepts like closures and design patterns. For anyone interested the best way to learn Javascript online (in my opinion) that I've found thus far is this http://javascriptissexy.com/how-to-learn-javascript-properly/ - W -- WIlliam Turner Founder WikiAudio.org http://helpknow.com

wasa2il: a participatory democracy software project

by William Budington

I just caught wind of this little project based around participatory organizations and meant to facilitate policy-driven decision making: https://github.com/smari/wasa2il Presentation: https://github.com/smari/wasa2il/blob/master/doc/wasa2il_introduction.odp?r… Pretty cool, and something sudoroom might benefit from, given our diligence in making decisions according to the bylaws we've set forth. Sometimes these types of tools are too rigid and get in the way of the in-person decision making process, but this one looks pretty flexible. Worth playing around with at the very least.

SF Technoactivism Third Monday 6PM 2013-02-18 -- Q&A with Melissa Chan, targeted journalist in China

by Danny O'Brien

It's time for another monthly meet-up for those involved in anti-censorship, anti-surveillance, transparency and other hacktivism tools: Technoactivism Third Mondays returns to Noisebridge, President's Day, 2013-02-18, from 6PM - 7.30PM. This week, we'll have a Q&A with roving Al Jazeera correspondent, Melissa Chan. Chan has the unique honor of being both targetted for spear-phishing malware when working in Beijing, and being used as the fake source of malware against Bahraini activists when working in the Middle-East. She's currently a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford, where she is working on developing an online toolkit for journalists to protect their computers against hackers and safeguard communications with sources. Chat with Chan about the realities of digital surveillance around the world, announce your current project or idea, meet with other hackers and activists, working on protective tools, or just have some appetizers before finding a good place to eat dinner with your old and new friends. Reply to this mail to RSVP, offers of lightning talks, or to arrange consignment deliveries of vegan cupcakes. Noisebridge is at 2169 Mission St: http://nburl.net/gethere Melisa Chan bio: http://knight.stanford.edu/fellows/class-of-2013/melissa-chan/ About Technoactivism Monday, created by OpenITP: http://wiki.openitp.org/events:techno-activism_3rd_mondays

Name ideas for the Open Source Desktop Bioengineering lab?

by Ryan Bethencourt

Hi All, Yesterday a few of you brought up a great point, the "Open Source Desktop Bioengineering lab" is a bit of a mouthful for a project name. Do any of you have creative ideas for a shorter, snappier name? I thought it made sense to open source the name just like we're open sourcing the project :) All the best, Ryan -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 794 6463 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php

This Sat: Today I Learned: "Livelihood Hacking AND Teaching Techniques Collaborative Workshop"

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, This Saturday's Today I Learned will be starting a little bit late (4PM) and will feature the talents of Morten and Sam on the topics of "Livelihood Hacking AND Teaching Techniques Collaborative Workshop" Morten will be presenting *Livelihood Hacking:* - Your biggest regular/monthly expense is likely rent followed by food, which also happen to cover some of the more basic needs. Significantly reducing the financial costs of these significantly increases potential ways to live ones life. Morten lives comfortably for $500 a month and will talk a bit about how that looks like, throw some ideas for how it might be replicated in your context, and together we will further explore this topic of livelihood hacking in a workshop setting. Afterwards, Sam will be presenting *Techniques Collaborative Workshop* - This will be about how to be a better teacher, as well as how to expand the TIL program and teach material outside of our collective comfort zone. We will also aim to create a sudo wiki entry on this material. It'll be hosted as a potluck. And as always, many slots for future Today I Learned sessions are available! Please sign up here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#Feb._16:_Livelihood_Hacking_AND_Te… Marina

Sudo Radio Is Live

by Andrew

Hey All, Sudo Radio is live at: http://radio.indybay.org/sudoradio.ogg After spending way too much time trying all other solutions, the simplest is the best! Take a look in the Radio Room for instructions on how to operate everything and talk on air. PS. As was suggested by Mischa we need a giant "TALK" button. This can be achieved by making a one button midi controller. which can be done with an arduino like this, kinda, http://www.instructables.com/id/Arcade-Button-MIDI-Controller/ Let me know if you want to help me with that project!

kickstarter for trolls TV show

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, I know a lot of people have been interested in the show I have been concepting for awhile, and since Andrew and I are finally getting our studio space together, I thought it might be cool to do a kick-starter and see who is interested in being part of the show. You can email me separately, if you want to be part of the show and I'll add you to my list. I'll probably do an open casting call, and talk to friends at public school. -- Cheers, Rusty **

Learn to Make Beer on Wendesday Feb 13th or Friday Feb. 15th?

by Thomas Fitzpatrick

Anybody interested in beer on making beer on Wednesday Feb 13th or Friday 15th? My dad is an experienced brewer and has offered to lead a session. All experience levels welcome. Malt extract or whole grains. whole grain batch takes 6 to 7 hours and is cheaper. extract takes about 4 hours is about ten dollars more, and is slightly lower quality. Porter or Pale Ale. Your call depending on the interest level. Product can go to sudoroom supply or however pays for ingredients. 25 - 35 dollars in ingredients will make 5 gallons which is about 50 bottles. It comes out 50 to 55 cents a bottle for what is usually a 1.70 a bottle for high-quality micro-beers. %30 to %40 of the cost. We have all equipment here at our house and can do it here.

outside door

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, the outside door was stuck in the locked position this morning and i couldn't unlock it with a key or use the sudodoor wireless to unlock it. perhaps i misunderstood from last night, but when i connected to sudo door from my phone, my understanding was that the browser was supposed to automatically go to the correct url. unfortunately i couldn't use the sudodoor wireless to connect to any site. as of now, the door is open (someone else in the building probably unlocked it, although i'm not sure how). would love to have guidance on troubleshooting the door if this kind of problem happens again, although i'm sure that as we develop documentation for the door on the wiki that it will help with at least some of the problems (i didn't know what url to go to to enter the pw, for example). thanks and we are ever closer to having the door issue solved! marina

Oakland Nights Live

by Oakland Nights Live

Hi Sudo, I am Jeremy Dalmas. I host a monthly informational / performance talk show called Oakland Nights...Live!, and we are working with the Bay Area Public School to possibly have the show in the common space of 2141 Broadway on the evening of March 16th. But since it is a shared space, we wanted to check with you to see if that would interfere with anything you had planned, or if you have any concerns or questions. We are still talking with Public School to figure it out and to confirm if it will happen, but I wanted to check in with you early on. We are really respectful, very good at tidying up after a show, and are excited about working with everyone in the space right now and whoever might occupy the rest of the space. We'd be happy to stop by any meetings you might have and answer any questions. I've included a brief summary of our show bellow as well as a link to our facebook page. *Oakland Nights…Live!* is a free monthly late-night variety show that is half Fresh Air, half Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, half Johnny Carson and all Oakland. On this show audience members & performers, planned acts & spontaneous interaction, and being entertained & being informed are all part of the same continuum. We’ve got a house band, poetry readings, live RPG gaming, indie video game designers, monthly news trivia, town hall Q&A with candidates for city council, full episode Star Trek re-enactments, private investigators and astrophysicists phoning in from the south pole. We do our best to meld them all together into a pleasant Saturday evening. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Oakland-Nights-Live/162889770462069?ref=ts&f… Thanks! -Jeremy Dalmas Host Oakland Nights...Live!

Oxy-acetylene Torch

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Hi all! We at the Open Mechanics Institute need a oxy-acetylene torch (including gas etc.) to build our first project: the open source ecology CEB Press. ( http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/CEB_Press ) Anyone has one we can borrow / buy? We can arrange pick up of course, and might even be able to pay a buck or two for renting. We will of course replenish gas etc. On the note of our work, if anyone who is skilled in metalwork and passionate about building and improving on the open source ecology suite, join us - we meet every Friday at a metalshop close to the Emeryville homedepot and build. Make a great day, The Open Mechanics Institute team :]

February's Awesome Foundation SF grants earmarked for kids' projects

by Rachel McConnell

Calling all teachers, parents, educators, teenagers, and kids! The Awesome Foundation grants $1000 to people with AWESOME projects every month. We want to remind everyone that for our February grant, we will sponsor only projects submitted by kids! Submissions can come from individuals or groups of people who are either under the age of 18 or in high school. We will also consider applications submitted by educators on behalf of a classroom-wide project. We want to encourage youth to dream up an awesome idea and experience the magic of bringing it to fruition. What kind of project? Well, the single most important guideline is that the project is totally awesome. But, we also tend to favor projects that spread awesomeness to a wide audience. We suggest that interested applicants take a look at our website and browse through past winning projects: http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sf Of course, anyone may submit an application at any time, but February’s grant will only go to a kid’s project. Students should submit proposals through our website between February 1st and February 28th. http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may just be interested! Rachel McConnell Microtrustee, San Francisco Chapter Awesome Foundation

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy

by J.C.

Some details from nb that could give some insight at hacker space financial planning. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Noisebridge Treasurer* Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy To: Noisebridge <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Cc: Noisebridge Treasurer <treasurer(a)noisebridge.net>, secretary(a)noisebridge.net Hey folks, a little bit more in depth financial report this week. Can someone show this at the meeting? Our secretary, my usual proxy, is home sick. Can someone chat with me about presenting this stuff? I can also write a little more elaborate explanation. The attached charts are looking at *individual donor income*. That means I've excluded corporate matching, anonymous cash donations (which all go under Anonymous), and the large donation from the Thiel foundation. What you're looking at here is individuals (all renamed to protect the innocent) who regularly donate to noisebridge, and trends in that income. A few interesting notes: - We always seem to get nervous about our balance in the winter, but we actually have less income over the summer. - 2011 was actually a good year for us. That was the first year we panicked in the winter about not having enough money, twittered about it, and made lots of money. You can see the peak in late 2011 / early 2012. 2011 also has the largest average annual donation per donor, the largest annual total, and the largest summer income. Winter 2010 beats winter 2011 though. - We have a small core of amazing, consistent, large donors. I thought these might change over the years but they are actually pretty consistent. You can see them in the color coding for the stacked annual chart. So thank you to Signe Bergman, Gertrude Harding, Marianne Hainisch, Emily Stowe, and most of all Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, for their incredible support of Noisebridge. -Kelly
