Fwd: Invitation to Maker Carnival in Beijing

by Mitch Altman

Hello, I received an invitation to the Maker Carnival in Beijing, which takes place at the beginning of October. The first one 2 years ago was one of the best Maker-Faire-like events I've ever been to. And I'm bummed that I can't make it to this year's. The organizers asked me to pass this invite along to anyone who might be interested. The text of the invite email is copied below. The full invite, with pictures and attachments is here: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Maker_Carnival_Beijing_2014 BTW -- I will be leading another Hacker Trip To China (my 4th) for the first 3 weeks of November. I don't have a wiki page set up for it yet, but here is a page for a previous trip: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/NoisebridgeChinaTrip2 Every trip is different, because the group decides what to do as we go along. But we will visit manufacturers, hackerspaces, schools and universities, and we will be shown around by local geeks everywhere we go. If you are interested in joining me for this year's trip in November, please email me. Best, Mitch. ------------------------------ Dear Mitch Altman, We have the honor of inviting you to the 3rd Maker Carnival held in Beijing, from the date of October 1st to October 3rd, 2014.

domestic resources?

by Pete Forsyth

Hi, I hope this message is OK for the list -- I feel there's probably a lot of relevant knowledge in this community. I have a friend -- not a close friend, but somebody I care about and trust -- who is needing to leave her home due to a volatile situation with her boyfriend, very suddenly. She is OK for tonight, but she said she has contacted some shelters and has been put on a wait list, and is not sure what she can expect. If anybody knows of good resources, or just has any words of advice, please send them to me off list. I don't have much experience with something like this -- I think she is very isolated here, her family is very far away, and I want to at least point her in a good direction. Many thanks for any help. Pete

my photos from last night's party

by Mitch Altman

Hey Everyone, Great party last night!! Lots of really cool people showed up, including a bunch from Sudo Room. Thanks for coming! There was lots of great food, drinks, fantastic music, and dancing! I'm told we raised about $1,400! And Marcel got one of our 3D printers to print during the party -- and printed out our logo. :) Naomi took that photo. Here's a link to the photos I took at the party last night: https://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/sets/72157646118444548/ BTW, our IndieGoGo campaign is now above $16,000, with 10 days remaining. But we still need to spread the word so we can raise enough funds to pay our electrician and pay IndieGoGo. So, please spread the word! Best, Mitch.

robot revealation

by Jake

http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/trip_over_cables.png okay so we really really almost got the robot working tonight we replaced the memory battery, and temporarily disconnected the other memory battery and then initialized its brains.. and now it seems ready to turn on and move! but when you press SERVO ON it tries to turn on the motors, and then says there's an error. I think it's because we don't have three-phase power for it. But i believe we can simulate the signal of a third phase for the circuitry, so that it will think that everything is OK, and then it will act normally. in the meantime, i discovered a treasure trove of documentation. If you were asking before how to operate this thing (once it's functional) here's the answer: read these PDFs. http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ -jake

Intro to JS

by Connor Leech

Hello everyone, I posted this event on Introduction to Javascript today: https://sudoroom.org/events/intro-to-javascript/ This is intended for beginners but all skill levels are welcome. I know for me initially learning to program was a bit daunting. There are lots of technologies and programming languages out there. It can be hard to figure out what to learn. Through this series it would be cool to get people on a track of learning how to learn programming. Open to everyone, totally free, 6pm today Connor questions: 415-717-5557
