Wikimedia Foundation Board election

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, There's less than 24 hours to vote in the election for the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees. This is a really important one, in my opinion, and many others; in short, I believe the Foundation has been suffering from never having prioritized understanding the social dynamics in its volunteer base. That has been manifesting in many ways over the last year or two. With three of 10 seats open, this is a good opportunity to nudge things in a better direction. I wrote several blog posts about it, here: http://wikistrategies.net/tag/trustee-election-2015/ In order to vote, you have to have at least 300 edits to Wikipedia or its related projects -- 20 of them have to have been between last October and April. (There are some other ways to qualify too, but that's the main one.) All the voting info is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_electi… Voting ends at 4pm Pacific on Sunday May 31. Wikipedia is IMO the most widespread and in many ways most important instances of "hacker culture" having an impact. I think it's important that its social health be understood, and that such knowledge should have a strong influence in the kind of planning and intervention the Foundation does. Please take a look, and if you're eligible, vote! Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

New around here. Safety?

by Mike Wardle

I'm sorry if this isn't really correct for this list, but I thought it would be best to ask. I've just moved to Walnut Creek from a small city. While I know it not to be fully true, I've always heard the standard sterotype/generalization that 'Oakland isn't safe, blah blah blah, you're going to get shot/mugged/other'. I would love to come vist Sudoroom, everything I've read about it and the people there seems like a great time. I suppose my question is "would I be safe to take BART down from Walnut Creek to MacArthur and walk to sudo? Should I be worried?". Any tips? I'm sorry, I'm just new around here. Mike

Hackers unite

by romy＠snowyla.com

The world outside is sort of hostile to hackers ! I was a little down because many well meaning people keep trying to direct me to fields inappropriate for me.. Social work, children's education . Mommy bloggers , public school teachers Maybe it's because I'm a woman ! But I'm a hacker and nerd at heart. Why do the powers that be try to take these making people and try to drown them out to become bureaucrats? Even though we don't always get along we are honestly not passive like most normal people. I love the energy at Noisebridge and Sudoroom. If I were forced to stop being a hacker and only socialize with passive non creative folks it'd definitely be a downer But part of that energy comes with a dark side. We are often temperamental. We do not function well In sanitized environments that are "safe for kids". We Are not always the right people to do social work or teach non passionates The energy comes with a price! We are yin and yang. But id rather hang out with true ha hackers of all genders. I imagine my future surrounded by bureaucrats and it's not pretty at all .. Or folks lecturing me not to do my best work because their notions of a woman's happiness are outdated and traditional I hope we can all hug next Sunday Love you all ! Sent from my iPhone

Oh wait, the Omni already has one: https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/mediation Why are you even using sudo-discuss? None of these things even happened in Sudoroom, they happened elsewhere in the building.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Noisebridge-discuss] throwback thursday: 3d printer instructional overview at noisebridge i never finished

by Romy Ilano

Very cool!!!! \(^_^)/ my biggest problem getting fully onto the 3D printing revolution is simply dealing with the 3D software. I think printing was relatively easy I'm wondering if I should help set up a repo at SudoRoom or Noisebridge I remember doing a sudoroom comics jam... we ended up taking Y's drawing and sticking it into a Makerbot tool and we had an instant 3D printout. https://github.com/sudoroom/ComicsArtSudoRoom https://github.com/sudoroom/ComicsArtSudoRoom/blob/master/TodayILearned/Tod… it was nice having the serendipity. I'm thinking of doing another drawing session at SudoRoom and taking the results and putting it to work on the laser cutter. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 12:08 AM, Torrie Fischer <tdfischer(a)hackerbots.net> wrote: > funnily enough, there was a group of ~4 hackers who visited tonight who > thought 3d thursday was still happening, then we started inventorying the > parts for the kit they acquired and demoing the flashforge, so 3d thursday > ended up happening. > > On Thursday, May 28, 2015 08:24:02 AM Romy Ilano wrote: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjIYDlMzBk > > > > hi this is a cheeky badly made 3d instructional video for beginners I > made > > at Noisebridge 2 years ago > > > > I feel bad because i never finished it but it's a nice overview and a > nice > > use of Youtube! > > > > - I think next time I visit Noisebridge I'll try to do something similar. > > - will try to make it super easy for beginners > > - will add really obvious stuff like "this is the USB port that you stick > > your computer into. yes you can use it, go to this wiki link and download > > it here" > > > > I like the chimes too. =D > > > > > > > > > > ============================= > > > > Romy Ilano > > romy(a)snowyla.com >
