Hey everyone-
All this stuff (see photo) appeared in the entrance hall over night. I don’t know how many times we have to tell people not to leave stuff in the entrance hall until it stops happening.
The EB Zine fest is here tomorrow and they need the EH clear. Any information about who left it is appreciated. If you had anything to do with leaving it, come and move it out or into the basement now.

Every now and again woot.com sells the 5th generation Amazon Fire tablet
(from 2015), and a couple of weeks ago it popped up for $16 + taxes/fees.
I bought one and it turns out that you can flash an unofficial older
version of LineageOS, which is still being maintained for this device, and
get a surprisingly good little tablet running 100% FOSS (well except the
bootloader depending on which Fire OS version it has).
I wrote up a short guide in case anyone else is interested:
https://gist.github.com/Juul/3f93655efb8d99b89a29168dd255b5a2
Beware that I haven't verified this procedure on the latest Fire OS
versions since the tablet i got didn't have the latest version and I didn't
want to tempt fate. From forum reports it doesn't seem like woot is
shipping tablets with the latest firmware anyway, but I can't say with any
certainty. If you get one, just make sure you keep the WiFi disabled until
the guide tells you to turn it on, to prevent it from auto-updating.

Hello All,
I cannot go in details here, because it is not the proper place, besides
that I still don't know why; but I was kicked out of the group by the
person that I went to join, and later on other two members that came to
join the group were asked to leave as well. In our last days the three that
got kicked out worked together and it was for the best. We bonded and we
became friends, brainstorming and decision making was way easier,
horizontal.
We, the original group of four, found two asylum seekers in Mazatlan.
After that two of us, an Italian gay person and myself, supported the
asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. While the two others the group flew
from Mazatlan to Tijuana.
One of the asylum seekers, man in his 40s, had an accident the day before
about 1pm. He tried to aboard a cargo train while in movement. He hit his
face against the train, and was ejected back out to he ground, where as he
said, "went into sleep really quickly" until in the dark of the night when
he was feeling cold. At that time he just dragged himself away from the
railroad tracks to avoid potential incoming trains, to just to curl and
continue sleeping again until the morning when the sun was too hot. A few
hours later we found him. Cuts on his face and hands.
In the same railroad area, among train containers, there was a 16 years old
and he also was supported.
Both of them are now in Tijuana. The kid is in a safe place, with shelter
and food, wiht moms and kids, and already got a number enlisting himself
for asylum. -I lost contact with the man. But last thing I know is that he
has a place where to sleep and eat with the person that kicked me out of
the group. I hope he is okay. Both were given new clothes, and shoes while
in Mazatlan. The funds came from donations like yours. Thank you for that.
We didn't help tons of people, we helped only two.
At the beginning when I was in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco I did some short
interviews and one of them was with Vivian
https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/20/2018-11-18-vivian-a-computer-te…
which we kept in touch. At the time, we couldn't help them. But at least we
have been on WhatsApp. Yesterday latest news, they were in Mexicali for a
few days already and has not eaten, he/she said was hungry. And that a bus
was living tomorrow to Tijuana, but for only the ones that can afford the
ticket. I sent some money, but they was not able to pick it up, the local
store asked for Mexican Electoral ID. So, we lost, 1000 pesos. I had sent
enough for Vivian and partner, and some change. I have to say that I didn't
ask for money to support my flight ticket to Jalisco. And my expenses
there, were covered by donations that my new gay friend had received.
During the trip up north Mexico, I was in contact with another small group
that was made up of three mom, two husbands, four children (including a
baby that was born in Puebla, after jumps of the truck sent the mom to the
hospital).

There are not public videos of the two we helped directly, because they
wanted it private. They allow me to interview them when we arrived to
Tijuana, for me to remember them.But they are okay with some photos in my
facebook account, you may see them there.
Thank you to all of you that supported with moral encouragement, and some
that donated. If you feel that you want to donate, because what I lived and
experienced and the work I saw done today I recommend

The donate button at https://asylumseekerscaravan.org already reflects this

Many thanks to all of you, <3!

the noisebridge info system is called stuff-org and was written by Henner, who
is local in San Francisco.
It was installed on a server at sudoroom recently a few months ago, but it's
not fully configured and nobody knows how to use it.
although i also like the idea of hot-gluing one item to the front of each parts
drawer, although that doesn't help with transistors because you want to know
what they're actually good for. So the parts system below would be best:

But I know that Eric, the main guy who was insistent on getting rid of it, just had a baby, which in his case seems to result in a bad combination of being hard to reach by email, and sudden "let's dump everything we don't need" urges. Sigh...
