I'm specifically trying to get into orchestral composition. Currently I can
read basic music notation and can play at least piano+guitar at a
basic/intermediate level.
I'd like to level up my theoretical understanding and at the same time get
some experience composing.
This looks ok, but a bit basic:

Any recommendations for online resources / books / university lectures I
can sneak into?

Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone here has or knows of a projector that I can
borrow for one week starting next week?
I am going to Mexico for a conference, and we are in need of an extra
projector. Mine has broken. I promise to be very, very extra careful
with it.
Happy to talk more about any details. The conference is bringing really
amazing technology community organizers from across Mexico to meet with
students and academics at the Caribbean Philosophical Association's
annual conference.

An example of one of the videos we want to share: https://vimeo.com/88181427
Thanks so much,
April

Update: tonight's Sudoroom meeting has formally banned Egon for safe
space reasons. Although Omni's policies require a conflict resolution
process on paper, I strongly feel this is an opportunity to carve out
exceptions to that rule.
There were a lot of notes taken. Here they are:

Our Kickstarter campaign closes in minutes - 10:34 PST, to be precise.

We've already reached our $30K target, but we are still collecting
donations towards our stretch goal: a -80 freezer to store cultures,
plasmids, strains, etc.. A -80 freezer makes sure that the project you're
working on today will still be around for people to build on next year, or
five years from now. Our plan is for this to become a resource for the
whole community, so we will be happy to store archival collections from
BioCurious and other DIYbio labs. We'll be one of the community's
distributed backup nodes, as it were.
Support your friendly local biohackers and mad scientists!
28 minutes to go and counting...

Joe, it sounds like he flat out lied to you. He makes a member feel
unsafe and is not welcome until that issue is resolved. That's the
only story anyone needs to know at this point. Our policies are very
clear about that.
Anyone knows what happened to the big projection screen that was hanging
form the blue biosafety cabinet in CCL?
It disappeared a couple days ago. We're making do with a small standing
screen for now, but we'd like to get our big one back...
Thanks!

Hi all,
I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science
Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE
<http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this
Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time.
Anyone able to give me a hand?
Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long
cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube
rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice,
steaming away. Would look awesome!
I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never
dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide
base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so
the base may need to be removable.
If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like
their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood
<http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>.
Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice
plywood?

Teen Tech Center

Hello Bay Area fellow Wikipedians,
The San Francisco Public Library and the Mozilla's HIVE Learning Networks
are launching a new Teen Tech Center in SF called The Mix.
The Hive Learning Network is a global community effort of Youth Servicing
Organizations led by the Mozilla Foundation. The HLN champions digital
skills and web literacy through connected learning. They have a presence in
11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and growing fast with
10 new cities to launch by end of 2015.
This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a viable
mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help build future
community of Wikipedians.
The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth navigate and use
our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This program will
be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s) to train their
staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in their program.
If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via email, I can share
more details.
The Mix launches next Wednesday June 18th - ideally we would like to have a
Young Wikipedian's in Training booth for back to school - sept 2015.
Thank you!
​Sylvia​

I'm not sure our universe contains big enough N's or O's to respond to
this appropriately.
