If you have a list you're on that this information is appropriate for, please send it! thanks, Rachel McConnell --- Starting April 5, Ace Monster Toys Hackerspace in Oakland is pleased to host a month of design courses and workshops with Régis Lemberthe of A&Ré Design. Originally trained as an industrial designer, Régis graduated with his Master's Degree in Humanitarian Design And Sustainable Living before moving to Berlin and getting involved in the local maker community. He now presents several different workshops there, in parallel with his activities as part of A&Ré Design Studio. From his description of the Design Tour (http://2014.design-tour.org): "One of the most appropriate and exciting answers to mass production and consumption, the maker movement has in the last years gained considerable recognition. Fab labs and hacker spaces are being created in every major city, offering those familiar with low-scale productions techniques access to adequate machinery, as well as training for everyone else. Skill sharing in fab labs is based on the know-how and experience of artists, designers, makers, programmers and hackers committed to making production accessible to all. Yet, while some techniques are widely spread, others sadly remain more confidential. After a few years spent facilitating events at Betahaus Berlin, French designer Régis Lemberthe goes on tour - a series of craft workshops and social+collaborative design courses hosted in maker spaces of various different cities - lasting for a month, wherever interest and facilities are. It has started in 2013 in Betahaus Berlin and will continue in early 2014 in the US, Canada and London before proceeding towards south-east Asia.

[hacking] Arduino Day, March 29 (and cheap Arduinos)

by Dana

Not a lot seems to be happening in the Bay Area for it, but I thought folks might find this interesting: Saturday is the 10th anniversary celebration for Arduino (wow, it's been that long?), http://day.arduino.cc/ Also, a $3, $6, $9 flash sale on boards (allowing backorders) if anyone is looking to stock up! https://www.sparkfun.com/arduinoday ~ dana

Oakland Wiki meeting special guests! (TONIGHT)

by Vicky Knox

Hi everyone! This is a reminder that we will be having our bimonthly (as in twice a month) meeting tonight at Sudo Room at 7pm. We will be graced by the presense of two amazing local orgs: - *Anti-Eviction Mapping Project: *This activist mapping group has been doing work to visualize and collect stories around gentrification and displacement in San Francisco. They are looking to expand their work into the east bay, and are coming to talk with us about how LocalWiki can be used as a shared storytelling platform around experiences of eviction and displacement and a resource center for tenants. - *The Bay Area Video Coalition*: This media workers advocacy nonprofit is looking at LocalWiki as a place to house some of their archival media. See you tonight! Vicky

Re: [sudo-discuss] Head's up! Carpet-cleaning 3:30pm Thu (tomoro)

If our tenancies survive for another rave like this I think we should try harder to coordinate the cleanup scheduling and press for it to happen earlier in the week on one of our less busy nights, and ideally earlier in the day as well.

hack money out of politics – this Sat/Sun in SF

by Danny Spitzberg

Hi all, this weekend, several dozen folks – and you? – are assembling to "hack money out of politics. I'm helping organize and raise funds for the event http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hack-for-democracy-registration-10711042015 (discussion flowing here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7438022). Rootstrikers, Move to Amend, The Sunlight Foundation, Maplight, and other organizations inspired and are partly involved with this newly-formed, nonpartisan initiative. Personally, I'm eager to see us go deeper than the majority of civic hacking with real and consequential political action. Your inspiration and participation can shape the initiatives and the future of this work! Sign up or join the waiting list. Spots are opening up Thursday night! Ping me with questions or proposals – especially for pitches or prize ideas. warmly, Danny

Re: [sudo-discuss] membership reboot?

by eddan.com

Most definitely not offended by your intersectionality. Indeed, I celebrate it. sent from eddan.com > On Mar 26, 2014, at 6:10 PM, Vicky Knox <vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > I sympathize with Eddan's concerns that it is in the logic of open knowledge systems to celebrate the [CTRL]+[c]/[CTRL]+[v] of said systems. That said, I think that talking about there being more POC and women in the Hub than in Sudo Room isn't a fair assessment because said assessment doesn't touch on Yar's concerns of specifically *class*/*economic* exclusion. If we are going to talk about diversity and inclusion we need to talk intersectionally. (Not to offend you, Eddan. I think it's important to bring up this point since it hasn't been brought up yet.) > > HEY!! LOOK!

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Mesh] So, about those Meraki Sparky boards

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Thanks to this hack, we should be able to use a noisebridge-donated lot of ~200 sparky routers for https://peoplesopen.net/ Cheers! // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Adrian Chadd" <adrian.chadd(a)gmail.com> To: "mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [Mesh] So, about those Meraki Sparky boards Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2014 18:34 A little drinking at Noisebridge and some poking from JC got me thinking about the Sparky boards. So I came up to Sudo and worked with Marc to figure it out. The TL;DR version: It's an AR2317 and you have a watchdog timer, but it doesn't actually reset the unit. It just posts an interrupt. It turns out GPIO6 is the "pat to stop it resetting" line. So, the details: I first did "help" at the redboot prompt. I found "bdshow", which is the "Atheros board info."

Watchdog GPIO pin 6? What's that? After manually checking out the watchdog registers via 'x', we discovered that it would count down to 0 and not reset. So, hm. Maybe the GPIO 6 wire is actually the right thing to pat. And yes, the board doesn't reset when you pat GPIO 6. Board: ap61 RAM: 0x80000000-0x82000000, [0x8003ddd0-0x80fe1000] available FLASH: 0xa8000000 - 0xa87e0000, 128 blocks of 0x00010000 bytes each. == Executing boot script in 2.000 seconds - enter ^C to abort ^C RedBoot> # set direction of gpio6 to out RedBoot> mfill -b 0xb1000098 -l 4 -p 0x00000043 RedBoot> x -b 0xb1000098 B1000098: 00 00 00 43 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 |...C............| B10000A8: FF EF F7 B9 7D DF 5F FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 |....}._.........| RedBoot> # pat gpio6 - set it high, then low.
