There's a hackathon happening in Oakland to build tools that are helpful to transgender people Apply by August 2 Happens on Sept 13-15 http://transhack.org/ "WHY A HACKATHON FOCUSED ON THE TRANS COMMUNITY? Research shows that transgender people are unemployed at 2x the national rate–4x for transgender people of color; have incomes of less than $10,00 a year; experience homelessness at 2x the rate of non-trans people; and suffer overwhelming discrimination when it comes to accessing adequate healthcare and legal services. This problem not only affects transgender adults but trans and gender nonconforming youth as well. A necessary step in addressing anti-transgender bias is to create technology that socially empowers transgender individuals. Imagine if there existed a mobile phone app that helps individuals find trans friendly doctors or an app that profiles safe space job opportunities for trans people across the country? Trans*H4CK is a space in which to turn these possibilities into reality."

Sudoroom Street camera

by William Budington

Context: This comes in the wake of George wanting to clear out the iMac in the entrance, saying it looks unprofessional and is in the way. I figured the unused workstation tower (thin) is somewhat more out of the way, and installed software on it to stream the street. Thanks to Jenny for helping me do documentation, which I hate doing. ------------------------------------- The downstairs thin tower is now streaming video of the street. You can find out its IP address by listening via the audio out of the machine. Every 60 seconds it transmits its IP address via text-to-speech! Right now, that address is 192.168.1.159. If you go to 192.168.1.159:8080 from within the space on your web browser, and click Stream, you can now see the street Additionally, this is accessible via VLC, at the network url: http://192.168.1.159:8080/?action=stream *Specifications:* *MJPG_Streamer *Random headless tower *Random webcam found in the space *Next Steps:* *Set up recording on one of the local servers in the space *Most likely software candidate for recording is ZoneMinder, which can define a remote source for recording.

View webpage<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=G190DvpYR9pDeeRiZ9nQmA> [image: Berkeley School of Information] [image: datascience@berkeley] *UC Berkeley School of Information launches Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree* Dear Alumni and Friends of the I School, I am thrilled to share the news that the School of Information is launching a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree with the first cohort of students starting in January 2014. This will be the country’s first fully online Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS)<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=jgDIsKHXfN45z35djKXw-Q>program. The I School faculty developed this new degree in response to the rapidly growing need for well-trained professionals who can organize, analyze, and interpret the deluge of often messy and unorganized data now available from the web, sensor networks, mobile devices, and elsewhere — often referred to as “big data.” The MIDS is a rigorous 27-unit graduate degree aimed at the working professional. It will combine live, face-to-face classes with interactive, online course work that can be accessed from anywhere. While the coursework will be entirely online, all students will also participate in a one-week immersion in Berkeley that allows them to meet one another and the faculty as well as to interact with leading data science professionals from the San Francisco Bay Area. The program will provide hands-on experience with the diverse tools and methods for exploring and finding patterns in complicated, real-world data, and for communicating the findings with decision makers. Just like all other degree programs at the School of Information, I School faculty will teach in the program alongside experienced professionals. If you would like to learn more about the Master of Information and Data Science program, please visit us online<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=oaY1Pim2okA1ZkYYkX_2HA>to request more information or call 855.678.MIDS.

by rachel lyra hospodar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Saw this, passing it along, another potential hackerspace in SF, this one focused on teaching diy/hacker/maker skills to homeless folks and those in shelters! ~ ** What is the learning shelter? ------------------------------------------------------------ On June 1st, [freespace] fellow Marc Roth ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba3… ) shared his vision for the Learning Shelter: a shipping container outfitted with maker tools – 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, welders, plasma cutters and more – to serve as a skills training center for those living in homeless shelters. The Learning Shelter will also provide housing to program participants (30 at a time for a 90-day intensive). 43 days later, there are 5 shipping containers in the parking lot at 1131 Mission! HOW CAN YOU HELP? Join the Hackathon ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba3… ) this Friday from 7-10pm and Saturday 11:30am - 8pm to contribute your skills and address the following: * Branding/logo design * Creating a crowdfunding campaign * Making a website for the Learning Shelter * Designing curriculum for program participants * Brainstorming projects for participants to create * Sharing best practices for recruiting participants from local homeless shelters HOW ELSE CAN YOU HELP? We're looking for local leaders who work with the homeless to share their knowledge and experience, and provide insights to help guide your creativity. Contact: ilana(a)freespace.io (mailto:ilana@freespace.io) We want you to be fed. Can you help bring food Saturday? Please email kyle(a)freespace.io (mailto:kyle@freespace.io) RSVP on Facebook ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba34… ) and Eventbrite ( http://freespace.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce59e3d8c3d2c1c7e944ba34… ) to see the full schedule of events. _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss

Fwd: Cityracks Request

by Julio Rios

FYI: Some bike racks coming up sometime soon on 22nd St. Not sure it will help the safety issue much, but may help with overflow when space upstairs is limited. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> Date: Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 10:27 AM Subject: RE: Cityracks Request To: Diana and Julio <dinju.judi(a)gmail.com> Hi Julio,**** ** ** Sorry for the long delay.**** ** ** After going out there a couple of times, I concluded that the best location for racks was on 22nd St. Sites for four racks (accommodating a total of 8 bikes) were marked with white dots. In late May, we mailed the ground floor businesses and the property owner (per our usual process) and didn’t receive any comments. (We are also adding two more racks across the street in front of the Bruner’s Building.)**** ** ** The racks were added to a work order submitted to the Public Works crews who install them on June 7. There is currently quite a back log, so I apologize again for the delay. I can’t tell you when they will be installed L--it’s out of my control.**** ** ** The reason I opted against the Broadway location was because of the white zone/loading-unloading in front of the Sound Room and because removing and replacing the two U-racks there was a bit messy because the sidewalk is in such poor condition.**** ** ** Let me know if you have any questions.

I can't find an email about this, but I believe that we talked and agreed that the best solution was to remove the existing racks there, and replace them with multiple perpendicular racks. I thought you said it would take 3 months, but I'm pretty sure nothing has happened yet, so I wanted to ask and make sure it was still on your radar.

For the moment, those plans are on hold.**** **** However, I was wondering if the CityRacks Program would be able to put some bike racks on the Southwest corner of Broadway at 22nd Street (on the Broadway side). This is a commercial area and, recently, hosts a new hackerspace called SudoRoom on the second floor of the building, where many members use their bicycles to get there, but are forced to bring the bikes upstairs due to the lack of safety and visibility below. This corner would be a great location to have a pool of bike racks similar to what is in front of the New Parkway theater on 474 24th Street. I'm not sure if those bike racks were put up under the CityRacks program, but wanted to explore what was possible around Broadway and 22nd. There is plenty of room, but I don't know what kind of process we'd have to go through.**** **** Let me know if I should just submit a CityRacks request on the website.**** **** Thanks in advance for any guidance you are able to provide.**** **** Julio Rios**** **** On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> wrote:**** Hello Julio, First, please accept my apology for responding so late to this request.
