Anyone good with an airbrush?

by Steve Berl

I'm working on a scale model of the Gale Crater on Mars as a volunteer for Chabot Space & Science Center. It's going to show the Curiosity Rover (MSL) landing sight, where it has travelled, and where it is headed. I'm making the model by stacking up layers of 0.1" chipboard sheets topo map style. Once it's built it needs to be painted to look like Mars. I'm color blind, so probably not the right guy to do this finish work. Also, don't have any experience doing a realistic looking gradients, etc. Anyone out there interested in helping? -- -steve

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Early days of noisebridge

by Romy Snowyla

Here's a thread from noisebridge with a photo project I usually sit next to over there... I called it the early days of noisebridge! I enjoyed the sudoroom party and think the first year event reminded me of the early days of noisebridge ! Very bright and optimistic. It's good everyone is keeping things going :: Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Romy Snowyla <romy(a)snowyla.com> > Date: November 2, 2013 at 9:58:28 AM PDT > To: Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> > Subject: Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Early days of noisebridge > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > Begin forwarded message: > >> From: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> >> Date: November 1, 2013 at 8:42:40 AM PDT >> To: Romy Snowyla <romy(a)snowyla.com> >> Cc: "noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net" <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> >> Subject: Re: [Noisebridge-discuss] Early days of noisebridge >> >> Hi Romy, >> >> I did the photo project hoping it would help people recognize each other and help Noisebridge be a friendlier community.

Increased foot traffic from people coming in and out has, I think, made that harder to maintain, though having more people is a good problem to have. The space needs to be swept and mopped every day, at least an hour's job for two people. People used to do regular loads of laundry to wash the dishtowels and rags for cleanup. Accepting lots of donations without picking through them first means we have quite a lot of trash and e-waste and giant pieces of wood and so on to haul away. >> >> There is just plain a lot of labor to do. I don't have the physical stamina to mop any more or scrub things. >> >> Some of this basic work to maintain the space needs money: to buy cleaning supplies, do loads of laundry, rent trucks and pay fees to the dump. We may have people willing to clean but who don't have the resources. Or, people may not actually know how to mop a floor. That seems possible. >> >> >> - lizzard >> >> >> >>> On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 8:58 PM, Romy Snowyla <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: >>> Sometimes I sit at the front entrance by all the photographs of members and big photos of the space when people first moved in . >>> >>> The space looked sterile but also much cleaner !!!

a one-page doc on do-ocracy, and a question

by Danny Spitzberg

Hey, Sudoers there's been a whole lotta talk and excitement about "do-ocracy" and, occasionally, adhocracy. That's rad! I'd like to question the notion that "do-ocracy" is the logical end of collective efforts. In my view, do-ocracy is a great practice and ethic that is best served embedded in a loaf baked with intention, care, and... democracy. To substantiate that, I'd like to share a one-page doc I composed that situates do-ocracy as a phase between two others, one the early "dream" state and the other an advanced "democracy" (so-called). While these phases exist on a gradient and can (and should) organically bleed into one another, there are important distinctions and caveats. I hope this sparks some constructive conversation around accountability and alignment within the group. Really, I do! warmly, very warmly, Danny [image: Inline image 1]

I was just thinking about the public perception of hierarchy and ways to minimize that. My distinguishing between LinkedIn and job applications was to distinguish between publicly- and privately-communicated content - so an online [public] blog, resume, etc would fall in the same category as LinkedIn for all intents and purposes. Just a suggestion, happy to discuss!

Help us plan a BIG First Friday this week!

by Yardena Cohen

Tonight's meeting has morphed enthusiastically into a planning session for this week's first friday / art murmur. In two days, we'll be at the intersection of: * Halloween / Day of the Dead / All Souls * Sudoroom's first anniversary of moving into our current space * Filing our corp papers in Sacramento * Expanding to new spaces & new ventures So we're going to throw a birthday party for ourselves on Friday night. We're going to bill it as an Art Murmur afterparty from around 7pm to 2am. It will be advertised as having a fundraiser component (donation pitches + raffle), but not as a fundraiser. The promotional materials are being designed right now and we'll have them ready to go viral by tomorrow morning. Here are things we need your help with NOW: * THINGS TO RAFFLE - things and services * A/V STUFF - we have an awesome DJ lined up but need equipment * CATERING - food/drink * your input and ideas for this party and all logistics * invite all your friends * wear a great costume

A pattern also became clear after yet another new subscriber showed up, named: yardena.cohen(a)yandex.com Creepy! At that point I just decided to ban everything from yandex.com, which seems to have stopped the problem. There were no other subscribers from that domain.
