using the CNC mill

by Sébastien Bourdeauducq

Hi, I'm the founder of Milkymist (now M-Labs) and the http://ehsm.eu conference, and I'm in Oakland for a while. I'm building an open source hardware video mixer called Mixxeo (http://m-labs.hk/mixxeo.html) and would like to experiment with/prototype the case design. My current approach is to take a die-cast aluminum enclosure (Hammond 1590F) and CNC-mill that. Could someone show me around the CNC machine at Sudoroom and if it sounds possible to use it for this project, explain me how to operate the machine? I'm not a Sudoroom member, but I will of course make a donation to Sudoroom if things work out. Thanks! Sébastien

Webinar platform with good privacy practices?

by Vicky Knox

Hi all! I was recently invited to join a webinar using Fuzebox, and am concerned about their privacy practices. The particulars: I was given an access link that went to the inviting party's website and was required to give a full name and ZIP Code in order to be granted access to the webinar on Fuze. On the Fuze webinar site itself, I would have had to have downloaded their proprietary software to my desktop if I desired to stream the webinar and not supply my phone number. Umm...no thanks. I'd like to be able to recommend an alternative platform. Any recommendations, cryptolovelies? <3s, V
