Proposal for a Presentation at Sudo Room

by Segue

Sudo Members, My name's Segue and I live nearby. I've visited Sudo room at least 1/2 doz times but I'm not an official member. I would like to do 1 or more presentations in the coming week and a half at SudoRoom if this is okay with you. The name of the presentation would be (roughly) "The True Nature of Money and the Imminent Global Economic Shift" or something to that effect. There are laws going into effect on July 1st that may have strong repercussions on our already fading position as the global reserve currency. So, yeah, would like to use the 'crisis' to motivate people to get curious about all this stuff, as it has far more of an impact on our daily lives than most people realize. Would this be something that you guys would be into having at Sudo Room? If so, would Tues and Thurs Eve and Sunday afternoon work? The event would be booked out as 2hrs. Exact start time TBD but the usual is like 7-9 for eves and maybe 5-7 for sunday? Or, if Thursday night is too crazy (the calendar looks full), I could do Friday night, say... 6:30p to 8:30pm. This is for June, this coming week! This presentation is focused on the Problem, but I would also like to do a Solution discussion on Sunday only, and in this case, the Problem presentation should start at 4pm and then the Solution Discussion would start at 6:30pm. That Presentation/Discussion could be called: "What to Do? Solutions to the Economic Crisis" I will be sharing images/video from MacBook, so if you guys have a projector and a screen of some sort, this would be super useful. Let me know if this is of interest to you. If so, you have permission to put me on your calendar for any of these 4 dates and to broadcast it widely. Then, of course, also please notify me ASAP and I'll be there and ready to roll! This is only the second time for me doing this (once at BurningMan in 2012) so I'm okay if there are not a ton of people at the first one! If there's some interest at these presentations, I might do more presentations/discussions in July, but this is TBD! Segue segue(a)nzn.com Four One Five-539-8812

Can we turn plastic bottles into 3D printer filament

by Marc Juul

Look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQeeJEpBYsg Someone already asked about using it as 3D printing material on the open manufacturing list and 4ndy said: "If you somehow had an extruder that could use a strip of plastic that buckles under the slightest push... but even then PET is rubbish for FDM/FFF printing due to its high shrinkage compared to PLA. Short answer: no." That's a good point. I wonder if it would be possible to create a print extruder that works for this. It may be that the shrinkage happens before extrusion, such that little or no shrinkage will occur in the print. -- marc/juul

need uSATA disk

by Jake

Hi, Does anyone out there have a uSATA hard drive they don't need? I got a Thinkpad X301 and it only can use a uSATA disk, no place for anything else. It's also known as a "microSATA" thank you -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] New West Oakland Youth Center needs computers for their new computer lab

by Ed Biow

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I wonder if the Center has tried to contact OTX West? Their mission is to supply the youth of Oakland with computers. http://www.otxwest.org/ I've gone to them when trying to collect peripherals and computer cords to send to Cuba, Bolivia & Haiti, they are nice folks. I haven't paid them a visit since XP became unsupported, I wonder what OS they are blowing on the machines these days. As noted, the ACCRC is also a resource. They give away a lot of machines, even if James Burgett can be a prickly codger. (Infomed-USA used to also get hardware from him before we somehow pissed him off). If we want to send machines to the Youth Center I think we should check the machines out first (run smartmontools and memtest for HD & memory) and blow Linux onto them (those old machines probably won't handle Win7 (even if we had licenses) and anyway we should be encouraging use of open sores). I can help with the hardware analysis and have figured out a good way to blow a standard customized Linux image onto old boxen. http://redobackup.org/ On the issue of giving computers to deserving folks, the Pastors For Peace are sending down their 25th convoy of material support to Cuba, they are coming through in mid-July. This year they are trying to get building materials and bike in particular. I'm planning on sending a dozen or so computers. Contact me if you are interested in donating. biow(a)cubasolidarity.net http://www.ifconews.org/node/1439 San Jose, California Event Date: Sunday, July 13, 2014 Route B Details: Main contact person: Shelby Minister Contact phone number: 408-297-2299 Contact email address: coordinator(a)sanjosepeace.org Event description: Food : Potluck ! Entertainment: TBA Location: 48 S. 7th St. San Jose, AC Time: 4: 00 pm Once things have settled down a bit at the new location I'm going to propose having a regular Linux InstallFest at the sudoroom, maybe Fridays (so I can duck out and pick up my pizzas and bring some back to the room) or perhaps after the Cryptoparties. I've got a collection of installation ISOs on DVD/CDs and USB sticks (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ Multisystem is a good way to get multiple ISOs on to a single USB stick). I can also set up a proxy to locally mirror deb archives for faster downloads and updating. I use approx these days, but am also familiar with apt-cacher. squid-deb-proxy sounds intriguing, as well, and I wouldn't mind trying to set that up. http://askubuntu.com/questions/3503/best-way-to-cache-apt-downloads-on-a-lan I think it would be good to have a standard time when folks could come to the room to get help with their open source issues from those of us who have been riding the GNU for a while now. Alright, time to get off of my vertical smile and see how many receptacles I can find for the great enboxening. e > 2.

Message-ID: <2035128596.175480.1403285459110.JavaMail.mail@webmail06> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Neon Leon, We have a stack of computers at the space that we'd love to put in the hands of Oakland kids - I am not sure what state they are in, but they are there and no one has stated any interest in setting them up at the space. We also have lots of peripherals that could be of use in a computer lab. Is there someone with the school who can come and help sort through them and find/put together working ones this weekend? We will be moving soon so getting those computers over to the youth center in the next week would be great.
