Lack of email reminders to members has been an issue for awhile now. It occurred to me that perhaps this was just a Stripe setting - seems it was! So now members will be notified by email when their payment fails, and notified 1 month in advance of an expiring card. https://stripe.com/docs/receipts#failed-payment-alerts Is this problematic to anyone? CC'ing some CCL folks who've mentioned this before.

Omni Commons wifi is unavailable

by Sierk

There was a (neighborhood wide?) power outage this morning. Unfortunately, after power came back online, WiFi did not. There is no Omni Commons ssid available (I checked in several locations through the Omni). Also unfortunately, nobody present knows how to resolve things. FYI, in case relevant, I believe that (internet access via) the modem came back online after the outage (because the relevant lights on the modem seem to be flashing correctly, as far as I can tell.) I've been told (but have not verified) that (at least some) wired connections here do have internet access. Sierk

Build Your Own 3D Printer in 1 Day!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

This Saturday, come join us for a whole day workshop (8am to 8pm!) on building a 3D printer at Counter Culture Labs, with some of the folks from Open Source Ecology. Build the open source 3D Printer with the lowest part count in the world. Learn about 3D Printing with step-by-step guidance in a supportive environment. To support Counter Culture Labs, this workshop hosted by Open Source Ecology is $10 recommended, but no one turned away due to lack of funds and free to participate (please register using the link below). Walk-ins are very welcome, especially if you're curious and want to swing by for a few hours or less -- Open Source Ecology wants to share something new and impressive with you. Register for FREE here: https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/1-day-3d-printer-works… We’ll show you step-by-step how to build this modular design in an accessible and straightforward way. You’ll appreciate how an open source 3d printer is designed and experience how teams can work together to build something amazing, even if they’re novices. Each team takes a 3D printer home to their community that they can use to build community-scale infrastructure or make 3D printed objects. To take a printer home, the price is $799. Compared with other open source 3D printers, ours can be built with off-the-shelf parts and our part count is half the others, making it easier to understand, build, and maintain. Because it is part of the Global Village Construction Set (for more info, please watch our founder's TED talk here: https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski), the OSE 3D printer is designed to scale and handle industrial production, which means if you want to some day build a 3 foot printer, this is the printer for you. Additionally, every CAD design of the 3D printer is available in its entirety, so if you want to change out printer heads to print something other than PLA or ABS plastic, our design makes this process significantly easier, especially because we have a 300 page manual to support builders and a process to continually improve documentation. Claim your 3D printer TODAY for 1 of 2 possible builds by registering here: https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/1-day-3d-printer-works… Schedule The event runs 8am-8pm. Specific timing depends significantly on how we progress as a group but generally we follow a timeline like this: 8am: Introduction. Applications of the 3D Printer Construction Set. 9am: Morning Build Session 12pm: Break 1pm: Afternoon Build Session 5pm: Break 6pm: Printer Calibration & First Prints 7pm: Review and Learning Discussion 8pm: Event ends Special Offer Registration secures your placement in this workshop to build and take home a 3D Printer. Participants are welcome to bring along one or more persons to share in the educational experience and assist the build for no extra cost. The workshop is a fast-paced collaborative experience and goes well with many helping hands! Please register HERE to attend: https://microfactory.opensourceecology.org/portfolio/1-day-3d-printer-works…

Hey Sudoers, I'd like to invite you to take a trip down south to Hayward this Saturday for the GRAND OPENING of our brand new Downtown Hayward Library! My group, the Hayward Techies & Makers will be participating in the new Makerspace on the 2nd floor. We'll be demoing 3D printing, and a "Table of Circuits" breadboard activity. There will also be a smaller version of the Flaschen-Taschen LED wall-of-beer-bottles on display. Date: Saturday October 27th. Time: 11 am - Dedication ceremony, Library will open at noon, close at 5pm. Place: 888 C Street, Hayward, CA 94541 Google Maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/8PD925ww9zM2 Short walk from the Downtown Hayward BART station (recommended). If driving, downtown parking is free, but the garage next to the library will likely fill up quickly. You may try parking at the BART station (opposite side), then walk over. Another spot to try is the nearby Lucky's rooftop. Once you arrive, come up to the 2nd floor Makerspace to say hi!

I want to invite anyone interested to come down to the basement and join us in hacking on CCL's large liquid handling robot.[image: IMG_20170705_232100946.jpg] There are lots of neat projects we could use help with, like: - Wiring and programming Arduinos to run lab equipment - Figuring out how OpenPCR <https://openpcr.org/>units are supposed to work and how we can control them remotely - Making stepper motors open and close a freezer door - General thinking about cool things we could do with this robot Conveniently, we're in the basement from 7-9pm every other Tuesday (including this Tuesday, 10/23).
