Subject: Solar panels meeting tonight 7pm
To: <building(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, discuss <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
A few of us will be meeting at Omni 7pm tonight to talk about putting
solar panels on the roof. We'll probably be in the entrance hall
mezzanine.
A friend reached out to me asking if Omni may be interested on a display.
Pasting below part of the message with the details:
“Daniel. I am wanting to get rid of my 2008 55" Vizo 1080p flat screen. Was
thinking this could find use at The Omni. If you know someone with a truck
they can pick it up at my place this coming weekend. Works fine except for
every now and then a couple of lines appear mostly on the left side, but
they dont appear all of the time.”
Thank you, and please let me know.

Hi sudodiscuss!
I was hoping to come by to use the laser cutter and was having trouble
finding any information about it on the sudoroom wiki.
I'd heard there was a new laser cutter set up there now too so just was
wondering about the status/information of both machines?
I've used a few different laser cutters pretty extensively in the past but
each one can be finicky in its own way so was wondering if anyone could
point me towards any resources, or would be able to help me out in the next
few days?
Was hoping to finish up a project in time for camp next week :)
Thanks!

Ok Rich said he will be "outside at 7", I believe this means sudo room but
I've written back to confirm.
His email address is rich.gporter(a)gmail.com if you need to get in contact.
I need to pick some one up before sudo room and will try to be there around
then. Don't hold up for me if I don't make it in time though.

I'm told by Rayc that on this coming Tuesday at 7, we're going to need at
least 3 hackers to coordinate moving a laser cutter into Sudo Room. Reach
out to me (off list) if you'd like to help.

Greetings from UC Berkeley!
I am the current operations manager at UC Berkeley's largest makerspace, Jacobs
Hall <http://jacobsinstitute.berkeley.edu/our-space/labs-and-equipment/>.
We serve 1,200 students every semester from all majors across campus.
I will be leaving my position and would like to share the job listing in
case any of your members past or present would be interested. Founded just
four years ago, it has been an honor helping to build the design community
at Berkeley.

Hello!
This is Christine Hodges. You may or may not know me from the circles I
move in: I'm a former tech worker, hackerspace user, meetup.com
participant, effective altruism/rationality community adjacent, member of
First Church Berkeley UCC.
So I got a new job teaching technology at an elementary school in Oakland.
I'd like to give my 230+ Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade
students great, hands-on learning opportunities with electronics and
coding: a STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math). I
have a plan to introduce electronics concepts, bring in physical computing,
then tie that to software coding later in the school year. But I want
students to have hands-on experiences first. This requires stuff like LEDs,
batteries, electronic building blocks, etc.
Thus I started a series of DonorsChoose.org projects to fundraise for these
class materials.
And guess what: some anonymous donors will match every donation so it cuts
the cost in half! Yay! I think this matching will be available all this
week, maybe longer, but I don't know.
And now I'm asking you if you could please chip in while I have this
matching offer. A $10 donation becomes $20. $100 becomes $200!
3 projects posted, many minds educated...
1) The #1 priority project is the basic electronics components and only
needs $339 to be fully funded:
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/intro-to-circuits/4347772/
2) Electronic building blocks gets students creating at a higher level of
abstraction - needs $221
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/electronic-building-blocks/4348639/
3) Makey Makey devices bridge hardware to software - needs $385
https://www.donorschoose.org/project/from-circuits-to-coding-with-makey-mak…
Thanks so much for your participation! Feel free to pass this along to
potentially interested people.
Christine
