Anyone want this ancient oscilloscope that John left behind? If not, I may advertise it on the dorkbot list and a few other places. We could ask John to come take it, but it would be a shame to junk it - there's people who are really into this kind of stuff. Does anyone ever go the Electronics Flea Market <http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/> at De Anza College? That would be the perfect audience for this kind of item. Next one is this Saturday.

Fwd: [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce?

by Matthew Senate

What do folks think about this discussion on the *omni-discuss* email list? Curious about your thoughts. // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Date: Sat, Oct 4, 2014 at 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce? To: yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Cc: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> David, I understand what you're sharing about the experiences you have had with people seeking voice and space in this project. However, I do not believe that flipping bits from public to private on our email list archives will change that. I think Jordan's implementation of a *helpdesk@* list (private archives to protect senders), and leveraging clear public-facing, private (or semi-private), and alternative communication channels (e.g. physical "anonymous comment box" by the front door) are all *excellent* ways to approach these situations. We should set up a *whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org <whistleblower(a)lists.omnicommons.org> *or *leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org <leaks(a)lists.omnicommons.org>* for instance! Historically, I have had more than a handful of conversations with folks (some active members, other allies elsewhere in the world) who have used and read the public archives of the sudo room email lists for their information and for all of our benefit. We depend on this form of participation to continue to exist. Further, we link to these discussions in our email threads, on the wiki, and elsewhere. We must be *clear* about what is *public* versus *private,* but we should challenge ourselves to make more communications available (indexed by google also means we can link to it on the public web... the structure of the web that was valuable *even before *search engines and the information search engines use to crawl content and formulate rankings, etc). We can also encourage search engines not to index this content to keep it unsearchable, but probably the folks who typically want to search it will be us and our community. To me, a good number of our problems right now correspond to *access*, *transparency*, and *engaging new participants*. In light of these issues, there is a clear direction for us to travel in which we should value *"open, public discourses over closed, proprietary processes"* as well as *"access and transparency over exclusivity"* in order to *"solve real problems over hypotheticals, while respecting visions of the future"* - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Values All three of us on this thread so far are sudo room members, what do you all think about these values I've shared? // Matt On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 2:11 PM, yar <yardenack(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 12:51 PM, David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > I would like to help you welcome new members - if I can get those > notices, I > > will reply and copy you and Jenny. > > We already have a list called "helpdesk" which is for receiving > private emails about the omni, so if we all CC helpdesk then others > know what's being done and how it's being done.

Can you provide a little feedback on my hardware project on Kickstarter?

by Autonomous

I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that has a Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will fit into a Model B+ case. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429174725/orion-ogs-affordable-3-in-1… I am also launching a separate Kickstarter campaign with the same OS distro on a 16GB SD card for the Raspberry PI. It includes some unique software that I have developed for the RPi. I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have on this project. The marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and promotion shortly. Thanks!
