Hello Sudoroom, Jake Spaz mentioned there was some discussion on this list about the Makerspace and suggested I join so you can ask me questions directly. I'm going to include here the update I sent to the interested parties earlier today so you can have a clear idea of where we are at and what the current challenges are: Hey all, I wanted to give you an update on the Maker Space. Myself and Erin Burton, the director of Mosswood Park, were hoping to have access to 'the barn' by now but as it stands its still fenced off, even though its structurally sound. This is just to keep people away from the Rec center which is a burnt husk. I think first important step in building a proposal is getting a tour of the building and seeing what already exists and what we can do with it. Unfortunately Oakland DPW isn't promising access to the Barn till late March, mid April. Erin can enter it but she can't bring guests. Also I have made contact with Sudoroom and they have an open forum meeting the 2nd Wednesday of the month which I hope to attend in February to give a pitch. I have not heard back from Ace Toy Monster or Mothership Hackermoms. If you know anyone over there you can poke to see if there are members willing to contribute to the proposal or commit to a build out once the proposal is approved, that would be most welcome. Erin already mentioned the makerspace to DPW and they grumbled and said no. Erin says we should ignore this and I agree. Any DPW in any city in the world's main job is to say no, even if it doesn't draw from their resources because from their point of view any changes to anything single thing, even the changing of the wind, effects their resources. DPW isn't tasked on building a community, we are, so froward we march. If you have any suggestions on how to best utilize our time till we can gain access to the Barn, I'm open to suggestions. Thank you for your time and your patience, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out. always, RICK! -- FIGMENT Oakland: oakland.figmentproject.org Oakland Awesome Foundation: awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/oakland/ Dancehall of Beautiful Radiant Things: dancehallofbeautifulradiantthings.com Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Portfolio

Pipe bender in da house?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Do we happen to have a pipe bender at Omni somewhere? Need to adjust some electrical conduit. Not absolutely required, but it'd look better with all the bends on the right places. .. Patrik

This may include drones but also ways to hack planes. There's some excitement over flying car start-ups in the bay area lately as well, although that stuff up until now has been very costly. I'm sure there are lots of amateur plane makers all over, and I know that gliders bought used are as much as very cheap used cars. I've met people who worked at big airplane companies, but to be honest, I've never seen much on open sourced flight information. Does anyone get the opportunity to hack on that stuff? It always seems to be interesting rich people. In the ultimate MFA senior thesis in college, a rich classmate bought an entire plane for a sculpture, and what can I say, that stuff looks pretty cool.

I don't know the details - something about tight flight paths in the mountains, and one of the local tech billionaires pissed people off so much flying his jet loudly in the south bay that private flights are banned in Silicon Valley. But hey! It's always good to know.

Some members have discussed *autonomous boats projects* as well. Questions[edit <https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Movement/Boats&action=edit&s…> ] - People come here and are always outfitting their *houseboats.* It'd be cool to take some of that knowledge and permeate it all over... there must be so much carpentry wisdom to share! - Many members of the hacker spaces are part of the breakaway hippie cult group Cal Sailing Club <https://www.cal-sailing.org/home-sp-700/who-we-are>, which offers punk rock low cost sailing lessons and boat lending and proves that sailing "isn't just for rich people" and started with rebellious UC Berkeley students doing some kind of protest against the administration in the 1960s. - There's hella history around ferries in the Oakland bay area... https://oaklandwiki.org/Oakland_Ferry_Services_%28Historic%29 - Did anyone ever hang out with the East Bay Boat Hackers? They were considering a space somewhere in 2012. hackerspaces Link <https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/East_Bay_Boat_Hackers> - So many people die every year trying to immigrate in dangerous boats <http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/04/30/illegal-immigration-by-boat…> - can hackers help make lifesaving, affordable devices for these refugees?

New Wiki: Movement/Trains

by Romy Ilano

We need a SudoRoom wiki page on trains. Many members are huge train enthusiasts, taking the Capitol Corridor to work on the South Bay or the Caltrain. A lot of SudoRoom members regularly Amtrak their way to hacker conferences all over the country! Nerds are fierce bike and Caltrain advocates in Silicon Valley, and they are known to pelt well meaning but surprised officials with elaborate spreadsheets explaining the lower cost per rider of a bike train place than a parking spot place. It'd be cool to see more hacker advocacy, as local trains have increased service this year on the Amtrak due to higher ridership. Preliminary Wondering[edit <https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Movement/Trains&action=edit&…> ] - How do trains work? - Are trains still hackable? - What ever happened to model trains building and collecting? How will we live with ourselves until the 2019, when the model train section <http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/transport/model-railway/> of the Deutsches Museum is open for the public again? - Will the USA ever get the gleaming speed trains being put up with blinding speed in China? - Has anyone ever tried to illegally hack together a new railways system in some kind of squatter/burning man area or interesting part of town? - Some people are building handmade railcars to explore abandoned railway systems at the TechShop - Neat! http://www.instructables.com/id/Railcar-Project-Techshop/ https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement/Trains ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
