Do you have a hardware project you'd like to put out into the world?
I am a mentor at HAX (formerly HAXLR8R). We choose 15 groups of people with cool hardware projects, give a small pile of money for your project, you live in Shenzhen, China for 3 months, have access to way cool tools and mentors, the groups all help each other, you learn a lot, and have a blast. And you make your project into a product that goes out into the world. At the end of the 3 days there's a big Demo Day in San Francisco where everyone shows off their projects, with plenty of media attention, and even angel investors.
The deadline for the upcoming group is extended a few days. If you're interested, please submit your proposal here:

Cheers,

peoples,
does anyone have a junker inkjet printer laying around that I could hack
on? Or does sudoroom have a junker inkjet printer laying around that I
could hack on? I'm specifically interested in the print head and nozzles,
it doesn't need to have ink or working motors or anything
and if anyone's ever played with print heads before, I would love some
pointers

these days!)

Hi Sam,
This is Niki from La Commune. I'd like to ask that you please stop going
behind the La Commune counter.
If you want to make coffee, I can find another coffee make to put somewhere
in the kitchen upstairs but the coffee and coffee maker behind the La
Commune counter is not for the "cafe" / bookstore.
In order for La Commune to function, we need to keep this space in order
and we have requested that anyone who is not a member of La Commune please
refrain from using this space.
Thanks a lot in advance for you understanding!
Niki
someone "cleaned" the 3d printer table and now the guitar string that we
use to clear up clogs in the nozzle is missing.
don't clean up something if you don't know how to use it! i'd rather have
a functional 3d printer or soldering setup than a clean, useless table.
i fixed the motor drivers on the type A machine 3d printer, now we just
need another guitar string to clean the nozzle and we're back in business.

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!
