Calling all hardware startups: Sheet Acrylic Manufacturing Workshop

by Ruth Grace Wong

Hi Everyone, There are still spots open for my acrylic manufacturing class at Noisebridge this weekend. This 3 hour workshop will cover manufacturing with acrylic sheets--the best alternative to 3d printing and injection molded enclosures. If you are a startup and don't have the capital or the volumes to justify expensive plastic molds, manufacturing out of sheet acrylic might be the answer for you. Myself (Ruth) and Rik are running a sheet acrylic manufacturing workshop. We make the whole process accessible, from teaching joints/cutting/bending to sharing local prototyping contacts and hosting a 30 minute Q&A with a Chinese contract manufacturer. The workshop is from 9:30AM to 12:30PM on May 5th at the Noisebridge Hackerspace, and costs $75: http://meetu.ps/e/F8KDG/qrLmq/d Feel free to contact me at ruthgracewong(a)gmail.com if you have any questions Best, Ruth

Release Arduino Blockly IDE

by Noah Glaser

Hello, I just released my Arduino Blockly IDE; it allows people to create Arduino Code by dragging and dropping blocks onto the screen. It works on windows, mac, and Linux. Right now windows will try to block it because I don't have enough reputation with the certificate I bought. I am looking for people to test it out and give me some feedback. instructions <http://oaklandcodeschool.org/arduino-blockly-ide-setup/> windows <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> mac <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> linux <https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE/releases/download/v1.0.14/Ardu…> I have a small demo of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nv_PJeeYhI If you are interested in the code you find it here: https://github.com/phptuts/ArduinoBlocklyIDE Thank you, and I hope everyone is doing well.

Aggressive/rude Disco Room occupants on Monday evenings

by Jenny Ryan

Omni's booking working group was just informed by a longtime renter of repeated rude and aggressive behavior from people occupying the Disco Room some of the past Monday evenings, when it is booked for their dance rehearsals, as well as repeated interruptions. Since sudoers are among the most regular inhabitants of the building, I'm writing the list to ask if anyone knows who these people might be and to inquire if there's been any "territorialization" of the Disco Room over the past month or two. Please reply off-list and/or speak to these people directly about respectful use of the commons (use of which should also be scheduled via the Commons Working Group, even if you're a member of a collective). <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.

diaster.radio modulation scheme tests

by Adam

Hi all, I ran some tests on LORA modulation schemes to get the best results I could on a 100mW TX power budget. I nearly ran out of gas during this latest test, and unfortunately I managed to screw up my data logging, so I don't have RSSI or SNR data, but this map contains all the places I stopped and got a two way signal on my jet ski. The transmitter was in my hand, the receiver was at pier 50, SF. DIY half wave dipoles were used, with a center freq of 900MHz with a +/- 100MHz 3db roll off. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1dE2QZS9cgX_oHLWyzmUNAYrjlbX0wJp… I found that quarter wave antennas are no good (see the red markers). The blue markers are today's test, using RFM95's from HopeRF. To get the very long range, I used the following modulation scheme using the RadioHead library. RH_RF95::ModemConfig modem_config = { /*Reg 0x1D: BW=125kHz, Coding=4/8, Header=explicit*/ (7 << 4) | (4 << 1) | (0), /*Reg 0x1E: Spread=4096chips/symbol, CRC=enable*/ (12 << 4) | (1 << 2), /*Reg 0x26: LowDataRate=On, Agc=On*/ (1 << 3) | (1 << 2) }; RF95.setModemRegisters(&modem_config); In other news, you can still jet ski if your core body temp is 88F. Little unpleasant though. - - - - Begin automatically generated footer - - - - I seek to understand, and aim to create.

Fwd: [OLPC-SF] Community Summit = OpenHack 2018

by Hilary Naylor

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sameer Verma <sverma(a)sfsu.edu> Date: Sun, Apr 22, 2018 at 12:33 PM Subject: [OLPC-SF] Community Summit = OpenHack 2018 To: OLPC SF <olpc-sf(a)lists.laptop.org>, "olpc-open(a)lists.laptop.org" < olpc-open(a)lists.laptop.org>, Sugar Labs Marketing < marketing(a)lists.sugarlabs.org>, sugar <sugar(a)lists.laptop.org>, " grassroots(a)lists.laptop.org" <grassroots(a)lists.laptop.org>, iaep < iaep(a)lists.sugarlabs.org> Also posted at: https://www.olpcsf.org/node/265 This year's event is a little different. We are joining forces with some of the other projects in the Commons space at San Francisco State University. This year's event is called Open Hack 2018. The event is largely scheduled to run on Saturday (April 28) and Sunday (April 29). Will have a meet-and-greet event on Friday evening (April 27), but the main event will begin on Saturday (April 28). The format is as follows: 1) What we typically refer to as "projects" are called "Challenges" in this format. Anybody can Submit a Challenge. When submitting the Challenge, you have to provide us with information about the Challenge itself, existing resources, people involved, and the kinds of skills that you may find helpful in completing this challenge. The goal is that we would want to complete some degree of the Challenge by the time we get to Sunday afternoon. 2) The Challenges will be printed and posted up on the wall starting Friday (April 27). On Saturday morning (April 28), people who come in will assign themselves to different challenges. It's quite common for some of the challenges to not have any interested people. That's okay. 3) As we start to see a cluster of people collecting on a given Challenge, we will allocate a room for them and then that room becomes their space for the next day and a half. Unlike in the past, where we had timed sessions (typically 75 minutes), these groups get to work on their problem for the entire day Saturday and half day Sunday. 4) On Sunday afternoon, they present their progress and future direction. The work (code, content, etc) will have to be made available some place (a repo such as github) via a FOSS, or CreativeCommons, or OpenData license. 5) After the presentations, a panel of judges will determine some form of ranking. There may also be some token prizes. This is somewhat different from what we've done in the past, but given the level of maturity in our projects, and the amount of focus that is needed to work on fixing bugs and building upon what we already have, the hackathon approach seems to be more apt than simple presentations. If you have somebody in mind who cannot be there physically, you can always bring them in online. The rooms are fairly well equipped, with whiteboards, projectors and Internet access. We are also in the process of arranging for other operational logistics. In the time being, take a look at the information, the code of conduct, and submit a challenge. http://hackathon.sfsu.edu/ Registration is open. Register at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-hack-sf-2018-san- francisco-state-university-hackathon-tickets-45329250007 Also, let us know if you plan to attend, so we can look out for other arrangements as well, as necessary.

Mediation meeting for prospective sudo room member

by Mitch Hundt

Good afternoon, last week I was personally attacked inside the Sudo Room Hacker space and told by Matt that I needed to leave with no context whatsoever. This offense occurred not 5 minutes from me entering the space while I was delivering left over bakery snacks to the table where snacks are occasionally left. Matt, who has previously vouched for my access to the space as a prospective member, walked in and demanded I leave with no context whatsoever. He was verbally hostile in his demeanor and in the content that he was delivering. I was told later in the day, that the "safe space" policy was being used against me and that Matt quickly took to slanderizing me via email and 3rd parties saying that he did not feel safe around me after he had just very unapologetically demanded I leave the space for no reason and with no context to the situation. I made no verbal threats against him and I feel that he was simply using illegitimate authoritarian methods to harass me. I can prove this via the Omni commons and Sudo Room guide lines of which both rules are slightly different and yet similar. Please keep that in mind at the meeting on Wednesday. Myself and another member attempted to discuss with him why he was so upset with me later in the day to which he became very passionate again for no good reason and continued to show hostility and an unwillingness to resolve the conflict. There needs to be a mediation meeting to have this resolved as I have taken this offence *VERY* seriously and feel *PERSONAL*LY hurt and attacked by this. I will be around Wednesday for the SudoRoom Meeting to address my grievances in person as I have been told this is the best time to do so. If we can do it sooner, even better.

Ban Request

by Matthew Stewart

Hello All, This is Matthew from Sudo. I have been unsuccessful in communicating Sudo/Omni policy to the applying(?) member known as 'Blue'. He is argumentative, disrespectful as witnessed by others on multiple occassions, he has been caught sleeping in the building after being told that would get him banned from the building. I walked into Sudo Room a fifteen minutes ago and he was in there alone with no other members. I told him for the tenth time that he needed another member there and things fell apart quickly from there. He threatened me as he was leaving, I'm done with communication and request/invoke an Omni/Sudo Ban from the building. Thanks! Matthew Stewart Ph: 510.606.0360

Ban Request - Blue

by Matthew Stewart

This is Matthew from Sudo. I asked Caleb from Phat Beets to handle asking 'Blue' to leave. I didn't want to escalate the situation after 'Blue' refused to leave the building. Caleb was unsuccessful, came into Sudo for clarity on building policy and I explained the ongoing trouble as well as my right to invoke safe space. Caleb is returning to his duties for Phat Beets and I feel obligated to leave until this is resolved. Thanks! Matthew

Looking for large picnic cooler(s) for tomorrow

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Does anyone have a large picnic cooler that we could borrow for a day or two, tomorrow to Thursday? The larger and well-insulated the better. Please let us know as soon as possible, because we'll need them by tomorrow (Wed.) evening We are going to defrost our ultracold -80C freezer in CCL, so we plan to move all its content to some big coolers with dry ice in the mean time. We don't have anything hazardous in the freezer, plus everything is well packaged, and we will clean and bleach your cooler before and after we use it, so you should be getting it back cleaner than when you gave it to us. If you have one available, please contact me or Yann (CC'd), and let us know if you can drop it off, or where we can pick it up. We plan to start emptying the freezer the Wednesday evening, and fill it back up again the next day. Thanks! Patrik

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Agenda Item: ABDC Transition

by hol＠gaskill.com

If at some point in the future Omni decides to re-donate those tools, would that be a problem for ABCD? If the answer to that question is yes then I think the correct word is "storage" not "donation." Generally the less the basement is used as storage space the better and we would all love to see better utilization of the basement in any way valuable to the community. On that topic I would love to consolidate woodworking equipment and wood from elsewhere in the omni to the basement (with proper fire safety provisions) and have a dedicated woodshop there serving the whole Omni as well, only tying this in here because I hope there would be room for both. We turned away alot of really great organizations toward the beginning of the Omni because we didn't want to "balkanize" (DK's words) the basement but I fear that has blunted alot of energy to transform the space and sent collectives to other spots. As with past such requests a floorplan showing proposed areas and equipment would better help the member collectives make an informed decision.

CCL survey

by Cere Davis

Hey Folks, I was talking to Ramy yesterday about how we need a survey to send out to our members and begin to quantify our impact on the surrounding community, better position ourselves as the valuable institution that we are, and better understanding ourselves and communicate that to other sources of $$. I know this funding and self-quantification issue badly needs to be addressed at other hackspaces, so I have cc’d them here as well. So here it is as a prototype! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/101yPvEzT3M6JGympcJojaUdDvBBtupY0CzuwDIGQnJ… ONLY 5 QUESTIONS!! Here’s the spreadsheet that it creates. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BkSDcypuUiuLxmRXTNRS2Fxl5iq0G2C99X0… Keep in mind that google forms is super limited in what formatting structures it will allow, so it limits us a bit on what level of precision we can get in response data. Don’t hate, it’s free. Survey Monkey isn’t much better from what I can tell. Feel free to copy/edit/comment as needed. -Cere <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkKy5SXYwxZutBR_Bb2EHS31qa88bCpjV…> -- *Cere Davis* Science-Art | Kinetic Sculpture CereDavis.com @ceremona <http://Twitter.com/Ceremona>

steve asked to leave at tuesdays meeting

by Jake

at last nights' meeting we talked about Steve at a meeting again, because i brought it up because we hadn't properly discussed it originally. Since the first time we talked about this at a meeting, Dante was picked to be Dante was picked to be a conflict steward for this issue. At the meeting last night, a safe space ban was initiated for Steve to have to leave until mediation achieves an alternative arrangement. If no mediation takes place, the ban will stay in effect.

wrote payment failed email code need some text and feedback

by Noah Glaser

Hello, Hope you are well. I just wrote some cheap node code to email people when payments fail. https://github.com/omnicoders/stripe-failed-payment I volunteered to do this at the last meeting. I was wondering if someone would be willing to volunteer some text for the body of the email and subject. I tested this with my fake stripe account. Thank you Noah PS Not trying to step on people's toes, if you feel that way please let me know so I can adjust.

Donation

by Samir Faci

I've been a lurker for a while and was a member for a bit as well and I thought of you guys since I have a few electronics to get ride of. I'm not sure if sudo room can use this or has the room for it (no pun intended), but I have an almost 10 year old 46" TV i'm getting rid of. It's functional besides a bit spotty sound when there is a lot of base. Would that be useful you to anyone at SudoRoom / Omnicon or would it turn into a giant dust collector? -- Thank you Samir Faci https://keybase.io/csgeek

membership dues

by Captain Chesapeake

Hi all, The discussion of membership management made me think of proposing suggested membership donations to the space. I have been brainstorming some tiers, and I'd like to also make the possible suggestion of people donating one hour every two months to the space in lieu of dues? Or everybody donate an hour every two months, period? What do you think? The Cap'n

looking for alternative to sudo humans for membership management

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, It might be time to look for alternatives to the sudo-humans software that both CCL and sudo room depend on for signing up and tracking members. Sudo-humans <https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-humans> is still missing some very basic must-have features (like notifying anyone that someone's credit card is bouncing, or that a new member signed up!), and the code seems fairly unmaintainable now that the initial author has left... I've seen both CiviCRM <https://civicrm.org/>and Odoo <https://github.com/odoo/odoo> suggested as well-developed and well-maintained Open Source solutions. Several of the hackerspaces in the Nation of Makers network seemed to be switching towards Odoo, for example. Does anyone have experience with CiviCRM, or Oboo, or want to help us explore our best options? Please pitch in, and help us decide! It would be great if CCL and Sudo could move together to a new platform. Here's some resources that may be useful: Nation of Makers: Software Needs Assessment <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1-3JMWx6Pny9rIGzmIAbhF2YJiVL94ppaUOMWB…> - mentions CiviCRM, Odoo, Cobot, SeltzerCRM, sudo humans, and more Infrastructure and Operations Value Matrix <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K2kZ2usa2HVeL3TwfenGpNCkskGR3kTKArP…> - compares features across various Odoo plugins, CiciCRM, and a few more Patrik

new bandsaw

by Jake

i brought in a new bandsaw for sudoroom. it's free-standing and very awesome. It can cut the fuck through anything you put in there, be careful. i'm going to get some metal-cutting blades for it, for now it has a coarse wood-cutting blade. here's the "manual" for it if we need it, uploaded to the wiki. i don't know how to make a wiki page for it and reference the file, maybe you can do that. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Bandsaw-manual.pdf -jake

Compost bin without lid near CCL

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Whomever had put a large green compost bin without a lid in front of CCL - I moved it to the trash room for now. We really don't want to encourage accumulating too much food debris near our lab, and a compost bin without a lid is a giant no-no, because it becomes a breeding ground for flies that contaminate our experiments...
