Subject: [nobawc-announce] Sign the Petition - CA Worker Cooperative Act
To: "nobawc-announce(a)lists.nobawc.org" <nobawc-announce(a)lists.nobawc.org>
> Hey NoBAWC community,
> AB 2525, the Limited Liability Worker Cooperative Act, is currently working its way through committee in Sacramento. In order to help move this legislation along, we need to show state lawmakers that this bill has support. The great folks at Sustainable Economies Law Center have put together an online petition to make it super easy for you to do so. Currently there are only 66 signatures… We need to bump that number up! A link to the petition is below. If you want to find out more about the bill or to read the actual language, the link below will take you there as well.

> We are hoping to get as many signatures as we can by this Friday… so please take a moment to sign and then use your social media tentacles to get the word out there.
> Thanks for your support.

(Hmm... Perhaps we should try to use the Cisco 2960 that we have there so we can at least check connected switch ports. I volunteer to work w someone else that maybe interested on this potential project. )

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 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 *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/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

Subject: [i-announce@ischool] Don't miss tomorrow's special lecture: "Toward Reproducible Computational Science" with Victoria Stodden
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.
