Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Glider Ink - a hackerspace graphic novel
To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net
Hey!
Last year I realized that the notion of hackerspace and
hackers-as-makers, not just blackhat anarchists is totally absent from
the mainstream culture. Watch Dogs 2 had a huge opportunity to change
this, but they only presented warring gangs and vigilantes trying to
bring down evil corporations.
After gathering some stories from European, US and African Spaces I
decided to create Glider Ink - https://glider.ink/ , a fictional story
based on real events and characters I met. I have already managed to
find the most common archetypes and create five main characters based on
them: Inventor, Activist, Troll, Anarchist and Maker. I'd like to focus
on the community aspect and how we can create things together, as
opposed to the Silicon Valley lone genius concept.
Even though I originally wanted to set the story in Poland, I might be
changing that to some more or less defined European city. Seeing hackers
from all over the world, especially Kenya or Philippines I really don't
want to enforce the stereotype that all of them needs to be white.
I'm still working on a script which would be enjoyable both for actual
hackers and people who haven't heard about them before. All of my work -
licensed on Creative Commons - is available at https://wiki.glider.ink/
. You are welcome to comment on it, share your own stories and ideas! If
you'd like to register on the wiki, just ping me.
Sadly, I found it that very few artists are up to the challenge of
trying a de-facto new genre, creating a positive outlook on technology
outside of dark cyberpunk. If you know any graphic novel illustrator who
might be interested in working on this project (fully paid of course),
I'll gladly meet them!
Art styles I'm looking for:

Nick Bertoni created a community workspace where people could come and build
and learn with all types of tools and technology, mostly in the 1980's and
1990's. He also collected a lot of tools and materials, including an
electronics lab, from which I already acquired stuff for sudoroom.
This weekend you should go to the tool sale, even if you don't need anything,
just to see all the awesome stuff. And certainly if you need something, no
matter how weird or rare it is (or you never knew it existed) it will be there.
I can tell you that the Sorensen DCR 20-25B works perfectly since I repaired it
years ago. It's a 20V 25A regulated power supply.
Attached is the Craigslist post for the sale, which will take place
10am-4pm saturday and sunday.
It was written by a family friend who is an antiques dealer so it may not
highlight the electronic / pneumatic elements in terms of what some people
in maker-centric circles might be interested.

Barbera Brady stopped by offering to donate these cabinets & cost of uhaul
if needed.
She met Adam & thought sudoroom might want them as they were her father's &
he was a hacker/engineer type.
Ideally, we would get them by the end of August if not sooner
