Sharing the JS Meetup in other places?

by Anca Mosoiu

Hi all, I'm glad to see the JavaScript meetups resuming! While I've never been able to attend, I like to refer people. Is it okay if I post it on the Oakland Beginner Prorammers Support Meetup Group (which I inherited recently)? Cheers, Anca.

I'm removing it, because nobody ever shows up to host. I'll re-add it if someone can make an excellent case for why it should remain!

Catalyst Project Hosting a forum on Black Organizing in Omni Ballroom Dec. 14 or Dec. 16th

by Stephen Novotny

Dear all, I've been in touch with one of the organizers of Catalyst Project, an anti-racist organization that educates and trains organizations/movements, and they're requesting use of our space on Dec. 14th or Dec. 16th for an event that would include 150-200 people. I'm pushing forward and letting the organizer know that we can provide the Ballroom for either of these dates. Please let me know ASAP if there's any possible conflicts. I feel strongly that we do our best to provide this space for Catalyst at this time as we need to step up and provide whatever support and solidarity we can for the PoC community. Let me know if you'd like to help bottom-line this event. I expect there will be a lot of new folks coming into our space for the first time, people that we'd like to open relationships with now and into the future. with love st

I'm never comfortable with any kind of video surveillance. If it's just pointed at a machine in the corner of CCL or something I wouldn't make a fuss, but if it's recording common areas or access routes I would. Whether we run facial recognition is moot - if a digital image exists, it will be run through facial recognition software sooner or later. That's life in the botnet of things. We should also note that La Commune has already been facilitating conversations for their own security needs, which right now means locking up bookshelves when they close the store. It would be really good if we could help them ASAP.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] physical security working group?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Yes, we probably should start thinking about some of these things. I'm CC'ing sudo as well, since they may be able to help out with some of the technological solutions. A couple ideas I've mulled over in the past: - Tags for equipment that shouldn't leave the building, a scanner at the door that can detect them when they do, and a camera to record who's taking it through the door. Could be combined with Marc's inventory system, of course. (And could also be used to check out tools legitimately...) - Motion or IR controlled lights to discourage stowaways (would need to be sufficiently hard to disable). Plus maybe an overview panel (physical or online) showing where and when movement was last detected in the building, to assist people in closing up for the night. - Lights illuminating the new bike parking when it gets installed - Indoor bike parking with some form of access control (swipe card?) - Equip outside doors with an alarm that starts beeping when the door stays propped open for more than x minutes. - How much video surveillance are we as a community willing to tolerate? Is there an acceptable tradeoff between enhancing personal and property safety, and respecting privacy? A static and well-advertized camera trained at a piece of valuable infrastructure may be OK. A building-wide surveillance system that can track people from room to room with facial recognition presumably isn't OK. Can we agree on where that boundary lies? - Put up signs to remind people that they are being video taped from the apartment building across the intersection. That's a useful PSA for our own community anyway. Patrik On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 2:44 PM, Stan Osborne <stan(a)ana.com> wrote: > Is it time for a physical security working group?

Noisebridge: Software Defined Radio Newbie Pre-Meetup - Dec 11, 7 pm

by Jake

Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:38:07 -0800 From: Casey Callendrello <c1(a)caseyc.net> To: noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] SDR Newbie Pre-Meetup - Dec 11, 7 pm Hi, All. Software Defined Radio, or SDR, is opening up the world of RF to a whole new cadre of hackers. Now we can build new demodulation schemes with a few mouse clicks, and explore a new kind of hidden world. People with SDRs have done exciting things like decode GSM, track commercial airplanes & ships, and talk to satellites. On Wednesday, December 17th, Balint is running the inaugural San Francisco SDR Meetup at Noisebridge. This promises to be an *awesome* event. He is a pioneer in the field, having done a ton of work to unlock the possibilities of SDR. His previous meetup, in the south bay, was packed (20 people alone were streaming it)! The week before, on *Thursday, December 11th*, I'll be hosting a more informal gathering for people looking to enter the world of SDR. You should attend if you'd like to learn the absolute basics. If you buy a SDR before the meeting, we can help get it running. We'll talk, also, about what SDR devices are doing and why they're different from the radio in your car / boat / stereo bike. Even more awesome, everyone who attends with the proper hardware will leave with a working SDR setup, ready to participate in the following week's meetup. What should I do? Glad you asked! Easy! 1. Buy a SDR. The ones listed here are $20 and available on Amazon Prime: http://www.rtl-sdr.com/buy-rtl-sdr-dvb-t-dongles/ 2. Get a job at a tech company. Whine until they give you a fancy thinkpad or macbook. Install Linux or MacOS. Quit. Don't give the laptop back. 2. sudo {apt-get yum port} install gnuradio gqrx rtl-sdr 4. Lastly, read some Things on the Internet: Quadrature Signals: Complex but not Complicated: http://www.dspguru.com/sites/dspguru/files/QuadSignals.pdf The GnuRadio Tutorials: https://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Guided_Tutorials Balint's SDR labs: http://files.ettus.com/tutorials/labs/Lab_1-5.pdf See you all next Thursday! --Casey _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-announce mailing list Noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-announce

Entry To Omni

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, I am a Sudoroom member, but due to involvement in a project have not been able to come to the Sudoroom since our move to The Omni. Hoping to come down soon, but noticed a post by Marc Juul to Niki about a solved card-swipe problem. Does entry to the Omni now require use of a card? If so, how would I get one? If not, and numbers are pressed in, are the old password numbers still valid, including the universal one? Would hate to come down and not be able to gain entry. Someone please advise. Best to everyone,Ira Brightman
