sudo lights!

by Jake

Dana donated a spool of warm-white LED tape, and another spool of addressible LED tape, to sudoroom. looks like about 5 meters of each.. so where should we set them up? the white LED tape is simple, it just turns on and lights, but the addressible stuff will need to be connected to a microcontroller of some kind to control it. Who will step up and do that? I can help with the power supply and wiring if you do the software. -jake

FW: The White House Announces a Week of Making this June 12-18

by Mitch Altman

Does someone at Noisebridge and/or Sudo Room want to be part of the National Week of Making? If so, there's a link at the bottom of the email from the White House (copied below), but which I'll add here, too: https://www.whitehouse.gov/nation-of-makers I think it would be really cool to be "officially" involved. But there are two things that make me uncomfortable: 1) "STEM" is a term created by the US military -- it leaves out the very important "A", which many have added to make it more relevant, and moves things away from the military: STEAM 2) There is involvement from various government agencies, many of which are cool, but one of which is: Department of Homeland Security. Best, Mitch. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: The White House Announces a Week of Making this June 12-18 Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 17:07:12 +0000 From: Santoso, Stephanie <Stephanie_M_Santoso(a)ostp.eop.gov> To: Mitch Altman Hi All, I wanted to make sure that you saw the following exciting news about the Week of Making and the National Maker Faire! Announcing a Week of Making this June 12-18 By Tom Kalil and Stephanie Santoso Last year, on June 18, President Obama hosted the first-ever White House Maker Faire and issued a call to action that “every company, every college, every community, every citizen joins us as we lift up makers and builders and doers across the country.” By democratizing the tools and skills necessary to design and make just about anything, Maker-related events and activities can inspire more people to pursue careers in design, advanced manufacturing, and the related fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and possibly take their creations to the next level and become entrepreneurs. Today, in preparation of the one-year anniversary of last year’s Faire, we are excited to announce that the White House will celebrate a “Week of Making” this summer from June 12-18. The Week will coincide with the National Maker Faire here in D.C., featuring makers from across the country and will include participation by federal agencies including: the Department of Education, National Science Foundation, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. Small Business Administration, Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Institute of Standards and Technology, NASA, Corporation for National and Community Service, Department of Homeland Security and the Smithsonian. At last year’s Faire, President Obama welcomed people of all ages who are funneling their ingenuity into amazing projects, developing creative solutions to important problems and bringing their innovations to market. He met Lindsay Lawlor, who built a 17-foot, talking robotic giraffe named Russell, and he met teenage sisters Camille and Genevieve Betty, whose motto is “Who needs a paper route when you can start your own robotics company?” He talked to entrepreneurs such as Marc Roth, who was homeless in San Francisco before taking classes in design and prototyping at a digital fabrication studio and maker space. After only several months of classes, Marc was able to open his own custom laser-cutting business. As the President put it, “Today’s D.I.Y is tomorrow’s Made in America.” Lindsay Lawlor introduces President Obama to Russell, the Electric Giraffe at last year’s White House Maker Faire. (Photo Credit: Pete Souza). The President announced a large number of commitments made by the Federal government, mayors, educational institutions, companies, and non-profit organizations to expand opportunities for engaging students STEM through making, supporting makers who want to become entrepreneurs and make it easier for individuals to learn 21st century design and fabrication skills around the country. Twenty-one Federal agencies committed a suite of services for people interested in engineering and manufacturing, including expanded access to start-up grants, making it easier for makers to manufacture their products domestically, and business mentoring and training. More than 150 colleges and universities, over 125 libraries and more than 90 mayors pledged to take steps to help advance making in the United States. To continue to expand upon this effort, here are some ways that you or your organization can help: · Individuals can volunteer to mentor and share their skills by hosting workshops or classes in areas of their community that have fewer opportunities for designing, developing and prototyping projects. · K-12 school districts can create opportunities for interactive, hands-on STEM learning in and outside of the classroom. Schools can also establish maker spaces to empower students to design and build, and solve real-world problems. · Colleges and universities can establish on-campus spaces that are accessible to students, faculty and the broader local community to tinker, design, build and invent. They can share best practices with other educational institutions through networks and communities of practice. · Companies can encourage making in their community through design and engineering and help designers, inventors and other aspiring entrepreneurs create American jobs by navigating the transition from prototyping to manufacturing. · Mayors can join the Mayors Maker Challenge and encourage companies, foundations, non-profits, schools, libraries and museums to get involved with product development and manufacturing. Local leaders can also back initiatives that make it easier for entrepreneurs to manufacture their products locally. And no matter who you are, you can get involved by hosting an event, workshop or activity during the Week of Making in your community or submit your project for the National Maker Faire. By working together, we can provide every child and adult in America with the tools, technologies and resources they need to be part of the creative process and invent, create, and make a better, stronger, and more innovative future. If you or your organization has plans to support students, inventors, designers, builders and other makers in your community, let us know by completing this form. We look forward to announcing progress on the President’s call to action during the Week of Making. You may also contact us at maker(a)ostp.gov. Tom Kalil is Deputy Director for Technology and Innovation at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Stephanie Santoso is Senior Advisor for Making at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

I think our community is strong enough to handle this and ignore one thread if they're not interested in it. I don't see the point in people writing more emails about how someone else should write fewer emails ... oops.
