Hey folks
last summer and spring we were doing an algorithms and math club
I'm going to restart this on weekends soon ->>>>>>>>>> might be ideal to
wrap this up with both the sunday art and code sessions as well!

Hi All,
First thanks to everyone who has donated or contributed otherwise to the
Laser Cutter.
We still need a lot of funds!
So far we've raised $1724.
Today is the last day of our two week fundraising, so please donate now if
you are planning on giving! Of course, we will accept your money after
today, but we'd really like to have this project fully funded as soon as
possible.
To donate, use this link: https://donate.noisebridge.net/projects/laser
For more background, see the recent laser post: http://blog.noisebridge.net/
There is a deadline for getting this money to the "Laser Company", so reach
out to all your friends that might use a laser cutter and let them know too!
Some math:
If 23 people donate $100 OR
If 46 people donate $50 OR
If 115 people donate $20 THEN
we'll be able to initiate this process with Kaitian
Unfortunately we won't have this opportunity forever, so please donate
today if you can!

Hi, I've been having fun at SudoRoom lately. I have wanted to *3D Print my
MRI of my ankle!*
I'm trying to overcome some hurdles >
-- I'm fundamentally a software and 2D digital person normally, it's hard
for me to get into 3D modelling
-- I'm used to keyboards, not wrenches and touching things which is why I
go to hardware hack night
I want to get beyond the stages of just looking at stuff on the 3D Printer.
Anyone else up to it? I'm wondering if I should come in more than once a
week...

yesterday with the help of Peef and a brand-new piece of hardware, the
payphone is working... and automatically goes to a voice menu!
We got a local slam poetry artist to record a message for us, so that when
people pick up the payphone it says "WELCOME TO THE OMNI! press 1 for
sudoroom, press 2 for CCL... etc" and it will actually work!
once this system is working properly, and we have phones all around, we
can re-wire the doorbell button so it just makes the phone ring, so people
pick up the phone and figure out what to do from there.
please let me know if you want to help setup more phones around the omni,
and help configure the menus in the voicemail.

I ordered a Cisco ATA 186 for the payphone on the front of Omni.
I will bring it over tomorrow night and wire it up... but we have to hook
it into the Asterisk VoiP server, and ideally we will configure it so that
when you pick up the phone, it automatically goes into a menu telling you
to press a key to select which collective you want to call.
Does anyone want to take this on? Robb has set up the asterisk server and
got it going, but I think he could use some help.
This is important because we need to be more careful about who we let into
the building - the OPD and BID are actively trying to shut us down, and we
need to at least try to pretend that we don't open the door for just
anyone who rings the doorbell.
so who wants to help?

Hey it was great to stop by today! I saw the awesome crypto party folks and
was impressed by the biohackers at Counter Culture labs.
I'm thinking about my next project for SudoRoom. I'd like to do something
that ideally benefits both SudoRoom and another non profit at OmniCommons
and use my skills!
I'm working on a cool non profit project (mostly the mobile party) called
FoodRev.org
They are working with volunteers to distribute donated food to donation
centers around the city.
It'd be cool to make something similar for SudoRoom/Food not Bombs.
This could even be extended to things like donations, scheduling clean up
and waste disposal and bringing eWaste to centers.
Looking forward to nice things ahead. *It's really great to stop by
SudoRoom and Counter Culture labs on the weekend. *I'm currently in-between
jobs, but I'm going to get a new job soon and I'd like to keep going to my
favorite hackerspaces, so that means focus on the weekend.
The Sundays are great because the Biohackers are there... it adds a lotta
life to the space! Maybe a Sunday stopover can be a regular thing?

Hey folks
Im looking for a super bright single point light source that is
electronically easy to manage. . An LED comes to mind but i dont have a lot
of experience with high power leds. . Can anyone make a recommendation of a
manufacturer or make or resale source? . Looking for something that
consumes more than 1watt. Fyi. Maybe more like 3w.
