Outernet edit-a-thon this weekend

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, There's a cool event based in Uganda, but designed for remote participation, this weekend. "Outernet" is a project to repurpose satellites to "broadcast" free information, that can be picked up by inexpensive receivers, for free, and then reshared for free over local networks/WiFi. A way to get information to remote and underserved parts of the world. It's one-way communication, so certainly not a replacement for the Internet or a total solution to the Digital Divide -- but a very … [View More]

Hey all, I'm trying to build a winch for the 14' projection screen that going up over the ballroom stage out of a wheelchair motor assembly. Per Jake's suggestion, I hacked 2 server PSUs to get 24v@14a but the controller is not working and the error code says the right wheel/motor is missing/not engaged. Anyone know what I am missing? Do I need to jump something to get the controller to engage while it is "incomplete"? Thank you, robb let thar b lulz

Invoice 1006 from Omni Oakland

by Omni Oakland

Hi there, Checking in about payment for Sudo Room's rent in April (see attached invoice). I apologize for not being totally in the loop on this, but it's my impression that the Omni agreed to give Sudo a $135.00 rebate on your April rent as reimbursement for paying the Omni's wifi. Is that correct? If so, please see the outstanding balance on your invoice for April 2015 rent and process payment as soon as you're able. Otherwise, please let me know if any of this is incorrect so I can update … [View More]

Fwd: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "Life on Bitcoin" Film at the Archive

by Vicky Knox

A documentary for the bitcoin-heads on living exclusively on btc. I'm a total hater. My impression is that it's a couple of bourgie SF-y folks with a self-imposed "struggle", but I think it should be interesting nonetheless! Plus, the Internet Archive is incredible. :] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Archive.org announcements for San Francisco Bay Area < announce-sfbay(a)archive.org> Date: 2015-07-14 9:55 GMT-07:00 Subject: [Announce-sfbay] You Are Invited: SF Premiere of "… [View More]Life on Bitcoin" Film at the Archive To: vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com [image: https://ia601508.us.archive.org/28/items/dcgdafcc/dcgdafcc.jpeg] Join us *Wednesday, **July 22nd from 6:30-10:30 p.m*. for a the San Francisco Premiere of the documentary film "*Life on Bitcoin*," at the Internet Archive. The film covers the experience of newlyweds Austin and Beccy Craig who struggle for 100+ days to live entirely on the upstart currency. Austin and Beccy will attend and conduct a Q&A session following the film. The couple began the experiment when their credit cards, debit cards and cash were confiscated at the airport upon arrival from their honeymoon. “It felt like learning to swim by jumping in the deep end of the pool,” said Austin Craig. For the next three months, the Craigs tested Bitcoin (and their marriage) by relying solely on the cryptocurrency for every expense, including gas, rent, groceries, speeding tickets, and insurance. For every transaction, they had to evangelize the currency to survive. Ultimately their adventure took them on a road trip across the United States and into Europe and Asia. This film sheds light on the practical strengths and early limitations of bitcoin technology and mixes it with a large dose of entertainment and fun.
