Fwd: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space

by Jenny Ryan

FYI. Please share any blocking concerns or general feedback! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Rise Above Printing" <info(a)riseaboveoakland.com> Date: Oct 9, 2014 9:21 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Just to update everyone on the proposal for the space I'm hoping to use for my work at the Omni. If there is consensus on it I'd like to continue preparing the space this month to move into it in November. The space I'd like to print in is the old utility room adjacent to the cafe. Once the kitchen is moved I will move the wall behind the stoves back to where it is in the floor plans, leaving a hallway that supplies sufficient egress to the exit. For the wash out room I would like to use a portion of the upstairs spa room, as in the drawing below. Although it wold be nice to have that on the same floor as my shop I'm not sure that installing the plumbing to the area near the walk in fridge is as feasible financially or time-wise right now. Perhaps that can be done further down the road. I'd also like to have a small desk at some shared office space in the building. Maybe either the ticket room or the old TIL space? If the delegates approve this proposal I'd like to ask that the utility room no longer be used to store trash. I am willing to help get the building some more larger trash cans from waste management if the working group in charge of those facilities is interested in that. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all on Thursday night. Many thanks!

Bike Smut in Oakland TONIGHT!

by revphil

Two years ago I was given the opportunity to light a fire under the comfy haunches of some of Oakland's finest hackers. The Sudoroom hosted The Bay's last screening of Bike Smut, a touring, erotic, bicycle film festival Bike Smut 8: Come Again plays Tonight, Wednesday October 8th at Feelmore 510 in Oakland. This is the only screening in Oakland. Wed Oct 8th Downtown Oakland Feelmore 510 1703 Telegraph Ave 9pm, $10 donation -- But there is a BONUS screening just outside Oakland! Thu Oct 9th Emeryville GUAVA 4210 Holden St 8pm, $10 donation http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2014/10/extra-bay-area-action.html Adults are not given agency to claim their adulthood in many positive forms. We need your help in bringing more joyous liberation. Its time to take control of our sexuality and our transportation! The only way to see the Bike Smut Film Festival is when it plays for a live audience. The various artists' interpretations about what is great about sex and cycling are creative, clever, funny, and aware! Bike Smut has never been just a single person's vision, rather, a coalition of the horny bring this synthesis of transportation and sexuality to life. Past contributors include Gus Van Sant, Courtney Trouble, Madison Young, Tinto Brass, Pandora Blake, and countless more rad, sex-positive filmmakers! This years submissions are from Oakland, Vancouver, Chicago, Gainesville, Montreal, Berlin, Milan and Geneva! I just rode my bike across Europe for 6 months then rode it south from Oregon to Oakland. This weekend I start to ride south to LA. Come ask me about hacking sexual health or better yet make a suggestion about how to do it better. This project would not be as successful without the combined brilliance of many curious and passionate minds. cheeky, reverend phil curator Pick your favorite social media disease WORDS - https://twitter.com/#!/BikeSmut FOTOS - http://bikesmut.tumblr.com/ FACEFUCK - https://www.facebook.com/BikePornFilms OLD SCOOL - http://bikesmut.com ---------------------------------------------------------- economic ergonomic elegant efficient erotic ------- North America will Come Again! <http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2014/05/call-for-entries-bikesmut-8-comeag…> -------- --------------------- Bike Smut ----------------------

Borrow a projector?

by Edmund Biow

Hi folks, I was given to understand that a sudoer could check out an LED projector for an event. I could use one for anInside Urban Shield even <https://occupyoakland.org/2014/10/inside-urban-shield-hear-inside-dope-disc…>t tomorrow, I have one, but it is a low-energy 300 joule <http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-HW350T-micro-portable> jobbie, and I wouldn't mind using a slightly higher wattage unit, if possible. I saw a funky old Sanyo projector, but it didn't look like much of an improvement over my little dude. I know there used to be one over on the CCL shelves, but don't know if that has migrated. I could pick it up tomorrow mourning/afternoon and return it after the event at 10 PM. My list subscription is in daily digest mode, so CC me if you have words of sage advice on the matter.

BBK-Richmond tech job

by Paige Peterson

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hey all, In my research for mesh outreach and collaboration (particularly focusing on the Internet archive tower in Richmond), I ran into Building Blocks for Kids. They are an organization formed with the "mission of supporting the healthy development and education of all children, and the self-sufficiency of all families, living in the BBK Collaborative zone located in Richmond, California." Part of their focus is on digital literacy and access and they are currently looking to hire someone to lead this portion. More info about the position: http://bbk-richmond.org/staff/employment-opportunities/ They've already set up a couple of repeaters to spread the Internet archive wifi access and have funding to set up many more as far as I know. In the end, however, that makes all of these families dependent on the tower so Peoples Open Network could help relieve this dependency by meshing with those who can already afford Internet access in their home. Anyways, good opportunity for someone at Sudo looking for work as well as further pushing this idea of them working with the mesh instead of just setting up repeaters.

extracting robot parameters

by Jake

So the robot's control box has a bunch of constants relating to its geometry, which are important for modeling it, so that we can tell it where to go. These constants are stored in parameter arrays in the robot's memory, preloaded from ROM when we initialized it. Descriptions of the parameter values were found in a cave, in a file called ERCPRM.HLP, scrawled in an ancient dead language, but a translator was found and exported its contents to http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ERCPRM.RTF I have edited ERCPRM.rtf down to the following text file: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/params-important.txt if someone can make a program that adds the actual value of each parameter to this file, it will probably make things easier for whoever wants to make a model of the robot. the parameter data are here: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/dat/PARAM.DAT PARAM.DAT is a file starting with /PRM then each parameter array starts with // and then the name of the array and then PRM, all in one line, for example //RCPRM for the RC array. Then the parameters are listed, ten per line, as a comma-delimited list. putting these values after their corresponding line in params-important.txt would be totally awesome. -jake

robot job files and rectangular coordinates

by Jake

so far, all the robot programs we have extracted have coordinates stored in PULSE format, meaning that all positions are stored as a list of positions for the six axes. This means we have been trying to create a math model of the robot's joints to get it to do our bidding. however, today I was reading page 106 of this document: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479236-17-Communications.pdf and it explains more about the format of a Job file: ///PULSE : Indicates position data (pulse counts) ///RECTAN : Indicates position data (rectangular coordinates) so far we have only seen PULSE, but we could try RECTAN and see if we can feed the robot rectangular coordinates, like we do to a 3D printer. also there is the line starting with ///ATTR ///ATTR a-p : Job data attributes ... m = Position data format, 0 pulse, 1 rectangular ... and ///FRAME coordinate system : Identifies the job coordinate system BASE = base coordinates ROBOT = robot coordinates N = user coordinate number (1 - 8) also, we should realize that the line ///NPOS describes the number of coordinates in a job, and until now I thought we could simply add or remove coordinate lines and that would be enough, but probably not. See how the NPOS line always matches the number of coordinates (of each type) in the jobs we have saved so far: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/tree/master/jobs all our jobs are FRAME BASE and coordinates in PULSE. I don't know how to create a job any other way, so we will have to experiment. -jake
