It's at maybe the worst possible time (6pm tonight) but there's
nothing we can do about it. We'll try to make it as quick & smooth as
possible.

Subject: Linode Support Ticket 4254236 - Critical Xen Maintenance /
Reboot Schedule
Hello,
Linode recently received several Xen Security Advisories (XSAs) that
require us to perform updates to our host servers. In order to apply
the updates, hosts and the Linodes running on them must be rebooted.
The XSAs will be publicly released by the Xen project team on March
10th, therefore we must complete the updates before that date.
These updates are required to protect the security and safe operations
of not only our infrastructure, but yours as well. We understand that
a disruption with such limited notice is inconvenient, and we hope you
understand that these measures are warranted due to the severity of
the XSAs.
Your Linodes have been assigned a maintenance window in which a reboot
will occur. These times are listed within the Linode Manager[1] in the
timezone set in your user's My Profile[2]. Your schedule in UTC
timezone is as follows:
* 2015-03-06 2:00:00 AM UTC - sudoserver
During the maintenance window Linode instances will be cleanly shut
down while we perform the updates. Your Linode will be inaccessible
during this time. A two-hour window is allocated, however the actual
downtime can be much less. After the maintenance, each Linode will
then be booted. See our Reboot Survival Guide[3] for tips and hints on
configuring and testing that your Linode services boot properly after
the maintenance.
Unfortunately, due the logistical demands of this effort, your
assigned windows are not changeable and the host reboots are
mandatory.
For general information, please see our status post:

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist.

Great. It's important that it configured to be a static IP address. Do
you know if it was?
It looks like we haven't touched our router, it's still connected to
the old uplink, so that will have to be migrated. Let's do that at a
less high traffic time than Tuesday night and also wait to cancel
Sonic service until we finish doing that?
I guess we have new internet now!
Someone from LMI came by looking for Marc.
I'd like to ask people that if, in the future, you schedule a service like
this you try to find someone to be here if you are not able to be, please.
So anyway, let me know who I need to give the relevant information to.

can i use this pan/tilt with wire harness thing I found on the workbench
(it's stepper-motor driven belt system with full 360 motion )? I would
like to build a 3d camera mount for the robot arm ... I'm drafting some
ideas right now, I havent harmed the part, but I did remove it from the
space sort of unthinkingly last night.
additionally, matt showed me a cnc mill attachment in the space, so I (we?)
would like to use that on the arm, too, if there's no objections. once I
get some mock-ups i'll put the idea up on github and we can start
integrating code!
noisebridge is making a cool table for maker faire.

Howdy you all,Â
This coming Maker Faire build night we will start on the actual table. We will also go over the working drawings for the table and get a sense of how the
build is going to proceed. Along with this, another resin and pigment test needs to be done as well.
The plan for the next build night, March 5th, is here:
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Faire_Build_Night_2015-03-05
The .pdf of the current working drawings for for the table that we are building is here:
https://noisebridge.net/images/a/a7/Noisebridge_MakerFaire_Table.pdf
Maker Faire booth build nights are every Thursday 19:00 - 22:00 until Maker Faire. You are invited to help build, even if you haven't done woodwork or
electronics stuff before. Here is the recap of the last build night were we tested the LEDs under the resin.

If you haven't seen it yet, the wiki page for the project is here.
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Faire_2015
If you can't help us build, no worries, but please consider helping in these other ways:
1. lend/bring your projects, demonstrate your projects, and teach others you know at the show
2. work on projects at the show, and have projects for others to work on
3. spread the word about us needing help with the build and the show content
Cheers!
