Hi everyone!
I'm working with Judi from San Leandro to put together our first BACH [Bay
Area Consortium of Hackerspaces] newsletter. We'd like to highlight the
projects people are working on in various hackerspaces around the Bay Area.
*Please reply to this thread with a one-sentence description of something
you've been working on at the space* (feel free to add more details, but
start with a sentence that summarizes so I don't have to ;) ).
I'll start: The Oakland mesh group just finished a …
[View More]successful crowdfunding
campaign <https://www.wepay.com/xtewtey> to bootstrap the first 100 nodes,
consisting of low-cost routers and antennas to make point-to-point wifi
connections across the East Bay.
Mesh networks are awesome because they don't depend on the existing
centralized Internet Service Providers to function. Though they can be
connected to the Internet as we know it now, a mesh provides a
decentralized means of communication with our local community. We view mesh
networks as a means of reconnecting to our neighbors, supporting local
businesses, and enabling grassroots community collaboration. In the event
of disaster or government censorship, an active mesh network is a resilient
mode of communication and sharing of information. Learn

.
Thanks!

things to do!

There used to be a way to listen online to OPD's radio communications
here: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10182
This required someone in the city to connect an analog radio and serve
the content digitally. They regularly had over 100 listeners, and
peaked at 3000+ during crisis events. But it was hosted in an office
that just closed shop and so as of today, they had to take down their
feed. Right now I don't think there's another way to listen to OPD
online.
Perhaps this is a gap …
[View More]that Sudoroom could fill? Does anybody know how
to get something like this set up? I imagine we'd need to relay to a
data center because of the large number of streamers. Or maybe just
colocate locally? Does anyone know a cheap colo in Oakland?

A group of us Occupy Oaklanders and fellow-travelers would like to have
a meeting at the sudoroom to organize opposition to the Domain Awareness
Center that the $hitty Council unanimously approved funding of last
Tuesday.

We are thinking maybe Wednesday, August 14th at 6 PM. Seems like
Wednesday is one of the less hectic days, I attended the weekly meetup a
couple of weeks ago and it didn't …
[View More]seem too huge, maybe we could nestle
in the quadrilateral of chairs and couches near the entrance to the
sudoroom proper without being unduly burdensome. If it makes our
presence marginally less loathsome I'll bring a 12 pack or so of IPA to
share with the Meetniks. Anyway, if no one objects by tomorrow
afternoon I'll take the liberty of penciling in our meeting on the
sudoroom & OO calendars.

Hey everyone
Just wanted to post here that we'll be continuing the Bioinfomatics series at Sudoroom next sunday (August 11) at 7 p.m. We had several awesome sudoroomers show up and I wanted to let everyone know about it.
We'll be breaking into some genome and gene data and digging a little into biopython to do some sequence extractions. All this will get us started in an open source project to contribute to the glowingplant project.
