help determine future direction of sudo kids

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, just a reminder that sudo kids is still looking for folks who want to be involved in determining and building the future of this program. we are growing (more kids will be coming this tuesday!) and there are actually limitless opportunities for trying out different activities and ideas (i just view the children as test subjects for experiments on learning...everyone does that right?). contact me or ray if you want to do one-off or regular activities or if you want to be a part of coordinating and helping shape the future of the program. best, marina On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 5:27 PM, Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com>wrote: > hi everyone, > > you are once again invited to come do things with the awesome sudo kids > tuesday from 6ish to 8:30ish. want to do a group activity? teach really > brilliant kids something awesome? build a thing with them? help them build > a thing? we've done calligraphy, clay, mate-brewing, piano, radio, and > more. kids have expressed an interest in 3d printing and making videos. if > you want to do either of those things with us (whether tomorrow or sometime > in the future), or have an idea for another thing you'd like to do, be in > touch! > > additionally, ray and i have started working on concrete goals and desired > outcomes for the sudo kids program. we are doing this because a hackerspace > without kids is like a diy electronics project without a blinky light - > extremely sad. kids are natural hackers and if our role is to provide the > physical and community infrastructure to encourage people to keep building > and making and learning and exploring things forever, then kids are > naturally part of that equation :) additionally, having activities for kids > is a proven strategy to expanding our community. yes, we are operating from > the principle that if you hook a kid on a thing, that you will eventually > have an opportunity to speak with their parent. the good news is that we > are not selling stuff but selling the idea of making stuff and being in a > community of makers. finally, if you've never done stuff with kids before, > you may find the experience to be really different than what you'd expect > (i know i have). i continue to be extremely impressed and more or less > constantly verklempt at the insight and intelligence of the children we > work with. > > so, if you want to help coordinate activities and be a part of the cool > sudo kids organizing/future direction/expanding the program crew, (or are > just interested in learning more about what "helping coordinate sudo kids" > involves - it's not a lot), be in touch via email or just come on a tuesday > night. > > - marina >

There is Beer at the End Of The Tunnel

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Greetings! While Subiir believes in the free flow of alcohol with taste (aka beer) for everyone, we also acknowledge that sometimes, building up expectations to a joyous taste-explosion has its worth as well. We are pleased to announce that the drought of Subiir continues for 3 more weeks. And we are even more pleased to announce that in 3 weeks, not only will we release a batch of delicious ipa (batch #6 aka. BitLite), we too shall release a batch of delicious cream ale (batch #7 aka. Creamy Delight) at the same time. *What a time to be alive!* *Wait! There is More!* - *Open finances:* We're starting to track our expenses paid, donations received, and donations passed on to sudo room. its still work in progress. You can follow here: http://bit.ly/subiir all feedback appreciated - *New investments:* We want to acquire one more propane burner and one more turkey fryer, so that we can make two batches at once. Donations received from coming batches will go toward that. And if you have either of those that you are willing to part with, let us know. - *You Are Subiir:* We think it is sad our gear is only used every 3 weeks to brew subiir. We want to experiment with letting others brew on it. if you are itnerested in brewing your own beer on our setup, get in touch. - *Learn to brew:* On that note, our brew days are open to anyone and everyone. if you are interested in coming around to learn and hang out, get in touch and we will keep you in the loop of when we brew. The brewing of batch #8 will take place within a weeks time. That is all for now. it seems appropriate to quote the infamous Queen Lagunitas the MCXXXii: Beer speaks, people mumble. Cheers everyone, and make a great day, Morten on behalf of all of us

Clothes/textile printer cleanup

by karekareraisu＠gmail.com

Hey sudoers! So I compiled our clothes/textiles they can stay or be donated but I though it might be helpful to visualize how much we have. I can help donate them if there are no objections. The other pile is a stack of 7 printers that were labeled as jam monsters. Tom helpfully assembled into a standing desk station. While ergonomic we both agree that they may make a better tear down project for sudo kids or e-recycled. I don't want to leave these piles here for more then a day because I don't want to clutter the room. If no one has any objections I'll get them squared away by end of day Monday (think midnight). kerrie

I can help donate them if there are no objections. Most of the clothing is actually scrap fabric, so wouldn't be suitable for donating as clothing. I think we should sort out the wearable items first, so as not to waste the time of any shelters.

Video - Bio-Data, Bioinformatics and the Gears that Make Biological Machines Tick

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, Please find attached a video recording of Ron's talk from earlier today on: Bio-Data, Bioinformatics and the Gears that Make Biological Machines Tick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RnpkmgH40o Sorry for the light quality, we'll try to correct that for the next class The intersection of biology and computer science is showing tremendous potential. Literally thousands of data sources great and small are publicly available now. Come and enjoy a low key introduction to all the 'omes' - genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, methylomes, metabolomes, etc. We'll play with some of the more useful data sources, tools and biological pathways. No biology training is necessary - the talk will be accessible to anyone. Programming skills are useful, but not necessary. If you have a laptop, please bring it. We will try to look at data in the class and preview a couple of tools. Cygwin on windows machines, OsX or linux are useful here, but we can go over these at the time if needed. We will be designing a project for anyone who wants to go deeper and get more experience with Bioinformatics. Ron Shigeta PhD has been doing bioinformatics for 12 years in biotech in the east bay, before that he made biological information as a protein crystallographer.! -- Ryan Bethencourt Tel: (415) 825 2705 ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com www.bamh1.com www.linkedin.com/in/bethencourt www.logos-press.com/books/biotechnology_business_development.php

Re: [sudo-discuss] DjNeonLeon's laptops were stolen

by Jake

The answer is http://preyproject.com you can install this free software on your laptop and it hides, amd just waits. You create a login on preyproject.com (also free) and if your laptop goes missing, you log in and tell it to start tracking it! that means that you can find out what your computer is doing, what network it's on, and even take pictures through the camera. If you get really close, and need to actually locate it, you can make it make a loud noise! this requires you making your computer usable without a password, which i recommend to everyone anyway. If your computer gets stolen and it's locked with a password, they will simply turn it off and sell it to a pro who will format the hard drive and sell it. If your computer is welcoming and without a password, the thief might keep it around and watch your movies, and connect to the internet at their house and things like that. Then you can track it down and get it back, along with all your precious data. Now you know. -jake Raymond Lai wrote: So sorry to hear, DJ Neon Leon.

noisebridge sunday at its finest

by Romy Ilano

I came into Noisebridge today, and it's buzzing here. People are moving around, teaching and working. There is a very positive vibe. There were people at the library on the chairs who weren't sleeping there, they were talking about ideas with JC. It was cool. The bathrooms were sparkling clean. High feeling of excellence and cool things soon to happen. Telling people at SudoRoom and other organizations about the upcoming Noisebridge party. Turing is pleasant, quiet and nice to work in since I'm learning Python right now for fun. I'm able to concentrate, and then when I'm done I can go out and enjoy the vibe. This sure beats the past few Sundays I've had!
