Fwd: [BerkTIPGlobal] Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] NB Radio meetings - Roll over Noisebridge ... (Movin on, & new leaders)

by giovanni_re

--- Original message ----- From: "giovanni_re" <john_re(a)fastmail.us> To: "noisebridge-discuss" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>, Norman Bradley <pryankster(a)gmail.com>, Noisebridge Radio <noisebridgeradio(a)gmail.com> Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] NB Radio meetings - Roll over Noisebridge ... (Movin on, & new leaders) Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:53:18 -0700 & tell hackerspaces.org the news. --- Congratulations Noisebridge Radioers! https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Radio You've had several successful meetings, much was discussed, & progress is well underway to get the NB FCC Low Power FM broadcast station license in before its Nov 14 due date! :) -- Now I'm gonna be movin on. -- Back in February I posted to the NB amateur [= "love"] radio CQ list that NB ought to have a radio station. In August Norman Bradley (also a ham) alerted us that the FCC was about to begin accepting applications, the first time in decades in metropolitan areas. Since then I have chosen to invest my time, in a personal overload situation, into this once in a lifetime opportunity, to get the Noisebridge radio project ball rolling - contributing the skills & knowledge I have, which many here don't (yet) have, so that this project would hopefully acquire sufficient momentum to become self sustaining. I hope it worked - cause I'm about to hit the door. ;) :) -- Now Radioers, leaders of NB, & all etceterians who desire that NB have as much success as possible, hackers have as much success as possible, & our wonderful San Francisco, Bay Area, California & global societies have as much success as possible, I'm now passing the ball on to you! Good luck! :) -- I knew from the beginning that one tiny little me wasn't gonna be able to either create a NB radio station, nor sustain one. So I've tried to alert Noisebridgians to the possibilities & benefits, with the hope that enough people will be sufficiently intrigued so that the idea becomes a reality. I hope that has happened. I'm not going away, but I am bowing out of most Noisebridge "The Bridge" radio activity. I've got many other respnsibilities to attend to. If this project is going to succeed, it has now become _your_ responsibility. The good news is, I believe you definitely have the capabilities to make it a reality. And I believe the unknown hackers, & unknown future hackers, will thank you for it! :) -- If it _is_ actually going to happen, the most important thing that someone who has _not_ done this before, has got to do is make a personal commitment to: 1) getting the Tues 6-8PM weekly radio hacker meeting onto the calendar on the main nb web page, & 2) sending a weekly meeting announcement to the NB--Discuss & Announce lists, so all hackers are refreshly reminded of the meeting, & of their opportunity to contribute to radio, & social, hacking. The other main thing is to immediately help Norman, in anything he needs, to enable him to get a proper, successful application in to the FCC by its November 14th due date. - Please note: Norman is a very busy guy, too. I believe he is also going far out of his way, cutting deep into his own personal responsibilities & resources, to do the things only he at Noisebridge is able to do, to get this project he believes is important to both Noisebridgians, & hackers everywhere, into the air. [Please join me right now in giving Norman Bradley a big round of applause! Me: Clap clap clap! Thanks, Norman! This project certainly wouldn't have had so much progress without all your efforts. I certainly couldn't have done it without you! :) ] -- Now, I've got to get on to other important responsibilities, lide helping Oaklland's SudoRoom get a radio application in, & alerting the USA hacerspacces to their impending doom^h^h^h^h opportunities to get their FCC applications in, with only two weeks notice! -- I'll have more to say, later. Bottom line: It is now _YOUR_ responsibility to _immediately_ get an announcement out that everyone is invited to Tonight's 6-8PM Noisebridge FM broadcast Radio meeting. Best wishes to all. Good luck. And, as we say in the amateur radio community, 73 to everyone. :) --- Join the BerkeleyTIP-Global mail list - http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal.

MCHCK - The $5 ARM mcu board

by David Rorex

I've been following this project for a while, their goal is to produce a small ARM board with everything you need to program it built in for only $5 -- the idea being that at that price, you can stick them everywhere and not have to worry about the cost. They are now close to being finished, and are trying to raise enough money to get some prototypes out into the hands of hackers looking to play with them. You can see details on the project here: http://mchck.org/ *Features* > *open:* entirely open source hardware and software > *powerful: *ARM Cortex-M4 with DSP extensions, 50MHz, 32KB code flash, > 8KB RAM, 32KB data flash > *easy to use:* programmable via USB; USB 2.0 full speed device and host > in hardware > *massive connectivity: *10 PWM outputs, 12 analog inputs, 29 GPIOs, 6 > serial interfaces, 14 touch sense inputs > *low power:* can run directly from a coin cell battery for months > *extensible: *add LiPo battery charger, 2.4GHz radio, extra flash memory, > all without additional boards > *small:* only 50mm*19mm / 1.97in*0.75in > *cheap:* $5 to build at home They need to sell 50 in order to get bulk pricing on stuff, for $60 (which includes shipping) you get: > 5 boards + all the parts needed for them > 2 RF communications boards (NRF24L01+) > 2 LiPo battery charger ICs > 2 180mAh LiPo batteries > 2 1MB SPI flash ICs > 3 different power regulators (so you can run from a variety of power > sources) > 2 microUSB jacks (the boards themselves will plug into a USB port > directly, the optional jack allows you to instead use a USB cable) I've already ordered a kit, I'm thus spamming you all in the hopes that others will as well and I can get my boards (I have an unhealthy addiction to small inexpensive microcontroller boards) link to order here --> https://github.com/mchck/mchck/wiki/Prototypes Note that this is not a finished product yet -- you'll either need a bit of experience with ARM and microcontroller dev, or be willing to wait to use the boards until they finish all the software and iron out any issues that may arise.

I hope that you will collaborate with me making this short video and sending it via email to my address antonio.listi(a)gmail.com.

Fwd: [nightlife-612] Warning to ladies from another Meetup

by Liberty Madison

I wanted to forward this email I received from a group I belong to on Meetup.com to Sudoers. An ALERT and Reminder. Apparently there seems to be a man attending meetups in the bay area who is being less than gentleman like with a few ladies. Check it out- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rick <info(a)meetup.com> Date: Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 10:32 AM Subject: [nightlife-612] Warning to ladies from another Meetup To: nightlife-612-announce(a)meetup.com Hi All, Some of you may have already received this warning from one of Tom's many SF meet-ups. I got three. I am resending it out to you because even though we are not a single's group, everyone should be mindful of their security online. I have removed a Rahul from the group who had an cartoon for a pic and either never attended or or never RSVPed. One remains but with a different member ID than the one in question. Tom has a few very good recommendations that you should consider. I would also recommend not using your complete first and last name on the site. I have never required this. Ladies, please be careful of anyone who comes on a little too aggressive. Consider asking for a business card instead of giving out your contact information. Post event outings for dinner or what not are best in groups with people you have established friendships with coming along. Use good judgement and be safe. Let's all just try to have some fun without the ick. Cheers, Rick Oakland Happy Hour Organizer * * *Please see email from Tom below:* For years I've been getting reports from women that an SF Bay Area meetupmember has been up to various creepy behavior including stalking, harassment, inappropriate touching, and even him being suspected of breaking someone's front door lock at a house party. I've long ago kicked him out of my groups and reported him to meetup. In fact I know he's been reported to meetup at least a few times and they've done nothing because he's careful to wait until he get's someone's personal email or phone number before he starts getting creepy. This character's name is Rahul. There are several Rahul's in meetup so be sure you know which one I'm talking about. Here is his main meetup profile http://www.meetup.com/members/11529766/ He doesn't post pictures of himself so here's another profile cartoon he commonly uses http://www.meetup.com/walking-in-SF/members/11529766/ and here is an email address that he's used in the past bffrahul(a)gmail.com If you have not had an issue with this person yet the best advice I can give you is this: 1) If he email's you do not reply 1) Do not give him any personal information i.e., email address, phone number, address If anyone can find me a picture of this guy in any meetup please send me a link to it. *If you have already had a run in with this guy please read on. * Thanks to the efforts of Gareth, another organizer that many of you know, we have the ear of the meetup CEO and their safety lead and they are interested in hearing your story. Even if your run in with Rahul was some time ago, even if you've already reported him to meetup, please follow the instructions in the email and report your story. Thanks Tom *Hi Tom,* *Thank you for contacting us about this. I'm Liz, and your message has been escalated to my attention. Meetup takes reports such as this, and any possible violation of our Terms of Service, very seriously. * *We would like to conduct a limited inquiry into this situation. I understand that you've heard these stories second-hand, so it may be difficult for you to provide us with the additional information, but if there's anything further you can tell us in connection with your concerns, that will help us look into this further. Additionally, if you know of any members who have had first-hand experience with Rahul, please have them write to me directly at lizd(a)meetup.com. * *The sort of information that will help us look into this further is:* *• a detailed description of the situation* *• links to pages where the content at issue is appearing on the site* *• any relevant emails or content you may have received through the site* *• anything you received outside of the Meetup platform that would be relevant to our inquiry* *• any other information you think may be helpful, such as a relevant police report or similar documentation* *We want to conduct as thorough an inquiry into this situation as possible, and we appreciate your help with this. Having said that, please note that Meetup is unable to moderate member behavior offsite, so in addition to reporting this to us, it is very important that all illegal activity be reported to the local authorities as well. * *Thanks again for your help with this. We'll look forward to your reply. * * Sincerely, * * Liz Dickey * * Trust and Safety Lead * * Meetup HQ* -- This message was sent by Rick from The Oakland/East Bay Happy Hour<http://www.meetup.com/Oakland-Happy-Hour/> .

Broke fancy smart phone, arg.

by Pete Forsyth

So, today I dropped my fancy smart phone (HTC One S) and smashed the screen to smithereens. I have almost (almost! but I think not quite) just had it with the concept of cell phones, almost ready to just figure out how to plan ahead and make use of my land line and wifi. But I don't think I'm there -- I just rely too heavily on stuff like Google Maps and text messaging when I travel or am otherwise out and about. I thought I'd throw the question out there before I up and buy a new phone. Does anybody have a 4g, T-Mobile compatible phone they'd recommend…or perhaps one to sell? Or… what are some good "I'm sick of dealing with cell phones" hacks these days? Pete p.s. I'm (finally!) out of my TMobile contract and happily so. I am also done with insurance plans. I want to just buy something free and clear, something that I can unlock and potentially throw a foreign SIM into in the future. Even if it means spending more up front. I'm sick of cell carrier shenanigans and don't want to play their money games if I can avoid it.
