Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, and Oakland Makers

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, As some of you may know, I've been involved in the Nation of Maker initiative to create a national 501(c)3 umbrella organization for makerspaces. If folks from Sudo are interested in being more involved in this process, let me know, and we can get you in touch. Some of the ways you can help out would be by writing a letter of support on behalf of Sudo. Maker/hackerspaces around the country will also be organizing "Maker Meals" where they invite their neighbors to sit down over a meal … [View More]or potluck. If anyone in Sudo would like to help organize such a "Maker Meal" together with CCL, please let me know! I don't think we have enough free energy to do one of these by ourselves right now, but we are definitely planning to write a letter of support. We're targeting all this for the week of November 15, when there will be a big announcement planned for the Nation of Makers initiative. The email I attached below has much more info on everything that is going on with Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, letters of support, etc. Along the same lines, I recently reached out to Oakland Makers to see if they were still alive. They were very active two years ago or so, with a ton of support from the City under then-mayor Jean Quan, but it seems they mostly went dormant for the past year. To my surprise I got an immediate email back from Hiroko from 25th Street Collective, suggesting we set up a conference call or meet up with Karen Cusolito from American Steel and Danny Beesley. If anyone would like to be involved in reviving Oakland Makers (and maybe put some more of our own stamp on it!), please let me know... Thanks!

small lipo battery

by Morgan Allen

Trying to slap a demo together for Hackaday SuperConf and I forgot to order the battery I need and won't be able to get one in time so hoping someone might have something I can borrow or buy. Looking for a ~110mAh battery similar to this. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13853 I think there are some small drones that use tiny lipos like that, maybe someone has an extra. Need something by Thur morning. Thanks

Specs of e325 "rack" server machine

by aaronco36

Robb suggested that I might want to post this info on the General Discuss list, so am doing so. Just wanted to provide anyone else interested with some of the specifications of the e325 rack machine I'm currently testing on the SudoRoom hackatorium table. To be donated to (and hopefully used by) SudoRoom. TL;DR at - https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-53255 - http://www.amdboard.com/ibm_eserver_325_specifications.html (but upgraded to AMD Opteron(tm) Processor … [View More]248) - IBM Rack eServer 325 - Dual 2.2GHz AMD Opteron CPUs - Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports - 3 GB total PC2700 ECC DDR RDIMM memory - 120 GB IDE/PATA hard drive w/ OS, extra inserted but unconnected 120 GB IDE/PATA hard drive in adjacent drive bay (might have FreeBSD pre-installed?) - Unit with both IDE/PATA hard drives weighs 30lbs? - Debian GNU/Linux Jessie i386 installed - Completely insecure default login accounts posted on top of and below machine. Further nitty gritty details down below....... likely much TMI The internal fans make a big screeching racket when machine first powered on. Might need some dusting+cleaning+lubrication.

pair programming station and UPSs

by "jake's co-working station" robb means "the pair-programming station" which is a desk on wheels with two monitors, two keyboards, and two computers arranged symmetrically so that two people can use the same computer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ there are three UPS at the pair programming station.
