Fwd: [omni-helpdesk] How to Build Better Hacking Communities

by Sadie Harmon

This came through the helpdesk, FYI: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Andy <cmtyresearch(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Nov 17, 2015 at 1:56 PM Subject: [omni-helpdesk] How to Build Better Hacking Communities To: info(a)omnicommons.org Hi Omni Commons, We are running a *paid* research study and looking for people who are active volunteers in the intersection between hardware/software (e.g. maker communities, raspberry pi etc.) to talk to about their experiences as volunteers in maker communities / fablab communities. The study is for a large open source company and the goal is to understand how to create better experiences for volunteer contributors in open source and education focused, technology communities. To take part it requires 1 hour of your time over a video call (skype or similar). We will be able to reimburse you for your time with a $75 gift certificate to Amazon.com. If interested, please fill out this short form: http://goo.gl/forms/Y4chIu53pZ We thought this might be of interest for contributors in your community and where hoping you could help us spread the word by sharing to your community. Your time would be greatly appreciated! Don't forget to fill it out :) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13dl2QrtKN_sbHKjxQEkixDINeDjzNj3KxSZFDgs8Tx… Best regards, Andy _______________________________________________ helpdesk mailing list helpdesk(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/helpdesk

Please Let's Help Linda

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello Everyone, Linda Grant needs our help. WHO IS LINDA GRANT? For those that don't know Linda, Linda Grant is a mother and local Activist here in Oakland. Linda is a comrade that has been in the front line so many times helping different causes that includes supporting mothers who had lost their children due to Police brutality, etc. Now, Linda is the one suffering a lost and needs support. WHAT HAPPENED? Last week Linda's grandson, a 2 year old, was killed in a car accident, and her daughter lost one of her arms. TWO WAYS TO HELP: 1- She reached out to me if we, at Omni Commons, can help her by providing space where the repass can be taking place. They need to know this answer desperately, and if it can be for free if possible. I offered my help to find out, so that's why I am writing this email and I will follow up in person with some of the working group that handle the events. -I asked Linda for the date and time, but they don't know this yet, but they will be providing that information by Monday at the latest. 2- While in communication I requested her any link to the fund rising for the funeral so that I can share it with us here; so perhaps some of us can help her with some money. Please help if you can. I know Linda from the Occupy days, and she deserves all the help that we can give to her and her family. So, while the date and time comes to us, please, please, reach out to the gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/b8922mp8 and donate what you can. Many thanks in advance, Daniel -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I'll do what I can to help but yes it was just a thought ! The building WG is not embroiled in any democratic process right now. At this point it's a few skilled people with a long list of noncontroversial tasks to do, and not enough time in the day to organize new volunteers to do them. Help wanted.

SUDO HACK REDUX

by Mari M.

Hey guys! I apologize for postponing my involvement in Sudo Hack. I've been suffering from severe asthma and needed to time in an allergen free environment to recover. I'm feeling a bit better and I should ok within the next few weeks. Last Sudo Hack, I didn't do too good of job getting people's individual contact information so when I sent emails to Sudo-Discuss, I didn't get a response back. These are some dates that are available taking into account the holidays: Dec 5th Dec 19th Jan 4th Please email me with contact info and which date you're available if you'd like to come help clean the space. :)

THURSDAY: Design for imperfect manufacturing and challenges of making wireless optical system KORUZA

by Jenny Ryan

Stop by sudo this Thursday at 8pm and meet Musti, inventor of the open hardware optical wireless system KORUZA <http://koruza.net>. KORUZA is a 1Gbps wireless optical system for locations up to 100m apart, using an eye-safe infrared light beam. A low cost, open source and open hardware, wireless optical system, making the free space optical (FSO) technology available to masses and providing an alternative to Wi-Fi networks for RF spectrum congested urban areas. *Design for imperfect manufacturing and challenges of making wireless optical system KORUZA* Complicated and precise systems can be designed more smartly with imperfect tools and machines, demonstrated by the example of KORUZA, a low-cost wireless optical and open source open-hardware system for gigabit 100m wireless communication in urban areas. Motivation for developing this project comes from Wi-Fi, which is the most popular choice for creating low-cost networks these days. However, a large number of such networks fail to co-exist in urban environments due to RF spectrum congestion. KORUZA solves this problem by using a highly collimated optical beam for bi-directional communication. In this talk I will discuss the use of 3D printing for development of precise optical setup with imperfect parts, how to design a system using and re-purposing mass-produced off-the-shelf components, discuss impacts of setting up a global distributed experiment World Wide Koruza l experiment and observing the developed product in real-life. I will also demonstrate the latest KORUZA 1.0 prototype now suitable to make wireless optical gigabit links between buildings. *Bio:* Luka Mustafa is a Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow and working full-time on developing the wireless optical system, KORUZA, at Institute IRNAS Rače in Slovenia, which he founded in 2014. He is also working on his PhD at University College London. For the past year he has led a keen young team at IRNAS to develop open hardware manufacturing solutions ranging from precise 3D printing of plastics and other more unusual materials to large-scale CNC and plasma cutters for heavier metalwork, innovating on the use of optical fibres for these applications. He promotes and deploys open wireless networks with the "wlan slovenia" project, manages national and international wireless backbones and contributes to several open-hardware and electronics projects worldwide. He has wide experience interning on projects from sound-systems to particle accelerator control systems.

You can also attend KORUZA event at Noisebridge on the 16th: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge_Koruza_event
