19:00
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!
still sounds like a lot of top down stuff to me...boring.

hi there,
does sudoroom or any other omni collective want this map reading library
shelf. it's for displaying large books and maps + reading while standing.

come and get it - lmk

Hi all,
I had a conversation with the CEO of the Thiel foundation this weekend, and
I learned that they've begun a new experiment involving the distribution of
grants to organizations who are in some way changing the way things are
done in this world, with favor towards STEM (undoubtedly due to Thiel's
bias toward democratizing those fields).
I mentioned that I've been doing my fellowship work at the Omni commons,
and have described the place as it is - a haphazard collection of
interesting collectives, and she took significant interest in that.
Would this be a conversation the Omni fundraisers would like to continue?
There could be good outcomes, given Sudo and CCL's presence and activity in
the commons.
(If so I'd also like to be an observer in the process, as this year I'll
have to do a fundraising round of my own so any experience is valuable!)
Cheers,
-Adam
I've copied sudo-discuss on this email so that all of the sudo folks get
this message. I think a lot of them aren't subscribed to the onmi emails.
One useful thing to know would be what year/model macbook it is. It makes a
really big difference in terms of how easy it is to open it up and dig
around.

thx 4 linx & $.02. maybe i should have said "Building Education from the
Underground up". Most curricula is developed in a top down fashion with
relatively few contributors...kinda like close source software. i'm wishing
for wiki, git, etc projects in which the general public can contribute
content, comment, like-dislike, etc.
i'm not seeing enough lessons on hacking, sustainability, political
organizing, alternative health...you know, the stuff *we* want people to
know.
amplifying what exists, creating a platform for people to collaborate &
develop more & analyzing what works is what i'm getting at.
i admit, i haven't done my all my homework. perhaps it already exists, in
which case, i want to get involved in some of the projects :-)

I am currently looking for any local or non-local if they are in mostly
cosmetically complete state, InMoov projects for photography for a magazine
article. I figured I would reach out to the local hackerspaces and see if
anyone knew anyone doing an InMoov project.
Thanks!

Free Open Source Education (FOSE - acronym apparently recently ditched by
US Gov)
Building education from the ground up.
Online organization to develop and maintain free open source educational
tools and server space to share them.
Top-down education sucks. We can do it better.

Would you forward the link below as well as the invitation attached to Sudo
Room? Edward was involved there a few times, and there may be some folks
who know him. We are trying to connect with his friends as best we can.

Thanks Jake! The event starts at 11am, goes 'til 5pm, but you can leave earlier if need be. I'll put you near an outlet.
Are you guys bringing a 3D printer? I'd really love to have one on the floor, so if you aren't bringing one, I'll reach out to someone else who can.
Please let me know if you need anything else or directions to the museum.
So happy to have you guys on board!!
Diane
