I won't be here next Tuesday (April 15). I'll be visiting family for
passover. But the printers will still be there, and are always free to
use. Have fun without me!

It's not down but it's been very very slow for several days. The
uplink is saturated and we haven't figured out why.
wiki nerds, rejoice!

Subject: [hackerspaces] Interwiki \o/
To: Hackerspaces General Discussion List <discuss(a)lists.hackerspaces.org>
Since the end of February, Wikipedia implemented the following Interwiki
prefixes:
Hackerspaces: to point to hackerspaces.org
LibrePlanet: to point to libreplanet.org
In the meantime, the hackerspaces wiki and the DIYISP.org…
[View More]wikis have
been using lp: for libreplanet, hs: for hackerspaces, and diyisp: for w00t.
Now that Hackerspaces: and Libreplanet: are officially supported, any
wiki can start using those to link to their hackerspaces pages, etc.
E.g., [[hackerspaces:NYCResistor]] will link to
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/NYCResistor
You can also transclude contents from the hackerspaces wiki into your own:
E.g. {{hackerspaces:User NoStinkinBadges}} (does that actually work? ,o)

Hi All,
As you may/may not know, a great conference is coming to Oakland early may
called Vator Splash (they want to highlight a lot of the great and
different startups growing up in Oakland and the surrounding east bay
cities). I've really been enjoying their recent coverage (through live work
Oakland) of some of the unique types of startups that are blooming in
Oakland and the East bay.
I was also wondering if you could do me a really big favor, we have one day
of voting left (I listed *…
[View More]Berkeley Biolabs* this morning, so it's super
tight) and we need all the votes we can get. Could you vote for us with one
click? Any votes and sharing would be SUPER appreciated!
If we're successful we get to present to a few hundred people and talk
about biohackers and new technologies we're trying to build and get funded!
*Berkeley BIolabs*

Thanks if you're able to help!
All the best,
Ryan

To me, the biggest challenge and also the most exciting part about being a
hacker is staying up to date with shit: getting plugged into the right mix
of theory and hands on. I'd love it if people out there would share their
casual science / tech feeds or journals. Whether it's on twitter or
blogosphere or fuck even if it's behind an academic paywall.
Here's some of mine from my twitter feed just to get started:
@techreview MIT tech review
@EurekAlertAAAS <https://twitter.com/…
[View More]EurekAlertAAAS> Eurekalert is a GREAT
science discovery feed
@Medgadget <https://twitter.com/Medgadget> biomedical device news
@hyperallergic <https://twitter.com/hyperallergic> nyc based art blog

Don't miss Tomorrow's Special Lecture at the UC Berkeley School of Information:
Toward Reproducible Computational Science: Reliability, Re-Use, and Readability
with Victoria Stodden
Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 4:10 pm - 5:30 pm
210 South Hall
The dissemination of reproducible computational research — where the code and data that generated the results are made conveniently available — is now widely recognized as a transformative movement within the scientific community. It is attracting attention not only from researchers but also from librarians and repository managers, journal editorial boards, funding agencies and policy makers, and scientific software developers.
This talk motivates the rationale for this shift, and presents solutions I have been developing to facilitate reliable and re-usable computational research including: new empirical findings on changes to journal data and code publication policies; best practices for code and data release; the open source dissemination and access tool ResearchCompendia.org; and the "Reproducible Research Standard" for ensuring the distribution of legally usable data and code. Some of these results are described in the forthcoming co-edited books Implementing Reproducible Research and Privacy, Big Data, and the Public Good.
Victoria Stodden is assistant professor of statistics at Columbia University and serves as a member of the National Science Foundation’s Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure (ACCI), and on Columbia University’s Senate Information Technologies Committee. She is one of the creators of SparseLab, a collaborative platform for reproducible computational research and has developed an award winning licensing structure to facilitate open and reproducible computational research, called the Reproducible Research Standard. She is currently working on the NSF-funded project “Policy Design for Reproducibility and Data Sharing in Computational Science.”
Victoria co-chaired a working group on Virtual Organizations for the NSF’s Office of Cyberinfrastructure Task Force on Grand Challenge Communities in 2010. She is a Science Commons fellow and a nominated member of the Sigma Xi scientific research society. She also serves on the advisory board for hackNY.org, and on the joint advisory committee for the NSF's EarthCube, the effort to build a geosciences-integrating cyberinfrastructure. She is an editorial board member for Open Research Computation and Open Network Biology. She completed her Ph.D. and law degrees at Stanford University.
Her Erdös Number is 3.

Subject: Helpers needed : Software Carpentry Bootcamp for Women in Science
and Engineering
To: pyladiessf(a)googlegroups.com
Hello PyLadies,
Software Carpentry <http://software-carpentry.org/> is a nonprofit
organization for teaching scientists and researchers how to use computers
more effectively. We teach basic python, databases, version control, and
other …
[View More]skills. I and other female scientists are organizing a large Software
Carpentry workshop running April 14-15 at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
(just up the hill from UC Berkeley). This one is targeted specifically at
Women in Science and engineering (
http://swcarpentry.github.io/2014-04-14-wise/).
These dates overlap with PyCon, so while we've got the instructors we need,
we're short-handed on
helpers<http://software-carpentry.org/bootcamps/checklists/helpers.html>who
can float the room to answer questions, deal with technical issues,
etc. Mostly, all we can offer in return is a fun time, helping women to
learn to code. There will also be a reception for wine, relaxation, and
mingling.
Would any of you be willing to join us and help? If so, please let me know
and I'll fill in the remaining details off-list.
Thank You,
Katy Huff

this month of activities and part of the money is being spent to print a
calendar of events.
To add a sharing-oriented event to the list of events that will be included
on the calendar, please fill out this short form:

So we never made it out to First Friday. It was sorta rainy, a lot of
us were burned out, Marc had spent 48 hours straight trying to fix a
sudomesh bug, and I was focused on the TWAC show. But that's really ok
because I don't know if FF could have compared to the quantity and
quality of outreach we got from TWAC. The space was totally packed
with rad queer women, a lot of whom were very excited about what we're
doing and want to get involved. We had 3D printers running the whole
time, did a …
[View More]bunch of impromptu tours and 5-minute speed classes in
printing, coding, etc. Sudo provided a nice low-key hacking
environment as an outlet during show intermissions.
They raised over $1k for the camp - which, to reiterate, will be an
entirely free event for women, trans & genderqueer people to learn and
skill-share about activism and all kinds of life-hacking and other
hacking. They don't use the word hacking but that's totally what it
is. Sudo built hella good will with a community of great folks last
night. Also for such a huge event (at least 200 people came through)
cleanup went really well. We only had to do a little bit this morning
- collect bathroom trash, take trash & recycling downstairs and some
light vacuuming.
Things we still need to do better:
* have extra toilet paper ready ahead of time, do regular bathroom checks
* bag/rebag all trash cans ahead of time
* Make sure the air control system actually works - things get
uncomfortable with that many people and no ventilation. Don't be
afraid of pressuring George to actually go on the roof and
double-check that the power switch is actually on.
When we introduce Sudoroom to the audience, remember don't stray too
far off message. Some major bullet points need to be:
* we're entirely free, volunteer-run and always accept (need)
donations to keep us open
* we're a community space for everybody, you don't have to identify as
an artist/activist/hacker
* we do awesome projects that benefit the community
* we are open and welcoming and always want more members - we tend to
shut the doors when the show gets loud, which is understandable as
we're trying to hack/concentrate, but it also can make people feel
intimidated. So it helps a lot to just give specific strong
invitations for people to come in and join. A few people suggested a
large sign on our door saying as much.
* please respect the space as our guests - please recycle your beer
cans, please clean up spills, please never write graffiti on the walls
or bathrooms - as tempting or legit as the message may be, Sudoers are
accountable to the landlord and have to pay the price for it.
