by Marina Kukso

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Workshop Weekend Updates <updates(a)workshopweekend.net> Date: Fri, Jun 28, 2013 at 3:41 PM Subject: Marina, today is the last day to receive $50 off Workshop Weekend: Arduino admission! To: marina.kukso(a)gmail.com Hi Marina, I wanted to remind you that today is the last day to register for Workshop Weekend: Arduino and receive $50 off admission with the code * ARDUINOEARLY713*! On July 13th and 14th, *we'll take you from Arduino rookie to whiz in just two days* -- if you've been wanting to get started with Arduino but you have no idea where to start or you're feeling intimidated by all there is to learn, come join us! Arduino is an electronics platform designed for artists, designers, and hobbyists. Here's just a taste of what kind of stuff you can make using one: - *Arduino Quadcopter*: An autonomous flying quadcopter -- use it to spy on your friends! - *The Inebriator*: An automated cocktail mixer -- it won't ask you for a tip! - *Laser Harp*: A futuristic musical harp that forgoes strings in favor of lasers! - *Secret Knock Door Lock*: A door lock that opens only when the right knowcking pattern is applied! - *RC Lawn Mower*: Why break your back in the heat? This lawn mower is completely autonomous! - *Tweet-A-Watt*: A power consumption meter that tweets your daily electricity consumption. Unlike past Workshop Weekends, *the Arduino weekend is designed to bring you to a level of deep expertise in one particular topic*, comprehensively leading you through all the key steps. Again, *you don't need to have any experience working with Arduino, electronics, or programming* to attend! Check out the full schedule and register here: https://workshopweekend.net/arduino/catalog<http://workshopweekend.net/er?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworkshopweekend.net%2Fardui…> Also unlike past Workshop Weekends, Saturday's workshops will be the same for everyone: you'll be guided through three building block workshops to get you up to speed. On Sunday, you'll be able to work on your own projects with our team of expert mentors present to give you a hand, while also enrolling in your choice of advanced workshops on topics such as advanced programming, working with audio, motors and movement, and LCD character displays. Check out the full schedule and register here: https://workshopweekend.net/arduino/catalog<http://workshopweekend.net/er?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworkshopweekend.net%2Fardui…> And please reach out to us if you have any questions at all about the weekend! I hope we'll see you there! Warmly, J.D., Rolf, Michael, Malcolm, Lee, Andrew, and the rest of the Arduino Weekend Team To unsubscribe from future mailings, visit http://workshopweekend.net/learn/unsub?id=bWFyaW5hLmt1a3NvQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ

Front Page Redesign: Put the mesh network on the front of the wiki + the sudoroom.org page

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I'm looking over the SudoRoom projects and the most ambitious, the one most interesting to me, and the one that needs funding now is the Mesh Network. - Could we redesign the front page so that the mesh network is featured more prominently? it is a manifeestation of all the SudoRoom values - Could there be periodical updates so that people can find the donate button and donate to the mesh network? - Could the front of the wiki features the mesh network as the featured project? Personally as a newsreader, I'd prefer to see more discussion of the mesh network on the sudo-discuss list. If there is some kind of security issue then I can understand avoiding doing that. What doesn't appeal to me as a discussion reader is reading lots of self righteousness, or people weakening a viewpoint by going to the extreme. I'm talkinga bout people that wind down into such deep conspiracy theories that they make anyone with a tangentially related theory seem like a total crackpot. Then again, you can do whatever you want. I'm not working on the mesh network right now, I just like the idea of it. It solves so many economic, social, and political issues in one fall stroke. Best, Romy

post-Bike Smut follow-up

by Vicky Knox

I want to thank everyone who came together last night to collaboratively bust their butts and get the event organized and running smoothly! Major props to the night owls who helped with final cleanup and with luggin those ginormous speakers back to my house! In the end we made ~$200, which was 4/9 of the total donations (4/9 went to Bike Smut and 1/9 went to Rock Paper Scissors for hooking it up with the beer). Maybe we should have a big event where 100% goes to SR? :] :] I had a wonderful time! The major highlights for me were absolutely Ray's aphrodesiac ice cream and witnessing the Sudo Mateists working hard the day before (Not trying to toot horns--in all seriousness, I find food to be way more sensual than porn). After the show was over, I walked around and solicited people's feedback for the show. Some members of the audience... - wished there would have been a greater presence of male-bodied people, transgender people and people of color, as well as a greater diversity of non/gendered roles played out. (I spoke afterward with Phil about the high presence of female-bodied people, and he said that the majority of the production crew are female-bodied as well, and that they would like more diversity in the films they recieve and is open to input.) - wondered how crowdsourcing porn affects demographic of submissions - were not surprised at the lack of diversity in queer porn - had not seen strap-on sex before, and were delighted - were displeased that there was no warning about two films with (staged) nonconsensual acts - want to hack sexuality - might want to have a screening of very diverse porn - think it would be really good to have a follow-up conversation! Sorry if I missed your point--if you pm me I can add it in, or please respond to the list. On the latter point, would anyone be interested in organizing this? Hugs, Vicky
