Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Tommy York

I can't remember exactly from last week, but maybe you brought this up, Marc? I think this is a really great idea, which could bring in revenue (from the kits), more revenue (from workshops focusing on building the kits, and not necessarily for adults [sudo-kids?]), and members (from people who enjoy the workshops thoroughly). Though it is currently being done: If I remember correctly, I think people in the community - Mitch Altman? - do workshops like this. And though an internet "competitor" exists - Maker Shed's kits (http://www.makershed.com/) - and I haven't yet done a significant amount of research about the kind of kits that they offer and so forth, I think it'd be really neat to purchase the parts, design really fun, age-appropriate packaging, sell the kits at some kind of minimal markup online, then above and beyond that have donation-suggested workshops where we guide people through the process of assembling whatever the kit is. Even if other hackerspaces / non-hackerspace entities / for-profit corporations are doing a similar concept, we'll have people interested who are geographically proximate to Sudoroom. Also, we have ideas: the lock picking class brought in great PR (in my opinion), and I'm guessing that the listserv would have a bunch of great ideas that are quirky, exciting, feasible, etc. I've always wanted to build a bunch of modular synthesizer modules, but that's kind of a fringe / eccentric interest. It'd be great to use Sudo-fund for this discussion, if people are interested. ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

Re: [sudo-discuss] Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Ryan Lyle

I propose the following: 1. Host circuit fabbing workshops on a donation basis. This is useful for both inexperienced Sudoers (ahem) as well as the community at large. Call it a workshop/training session. See step 2. 2. Enlist newly trained Sudoers and supportive community members in an afternoon of mass assembly. Provide beer. 3. Sell kits to those who weren't interested in building them. 4. Make bacon.

Fwd: [AMTD] Fwd: Please join us for a FOCUS GROUP to design Maker Spaces

by Rachel McConnell

Interesting concept. I don't know anything further than this. Rachel1.0 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill Lightner <bill.lightner(a)lightnergroup.com> Date: Wed, May 15, 2013 at 12:43 PM Subject: Please join us for a FOCUS GROUP to design Maker Spaces Greetings, We invite you to participate in a focus group we are hosting to investigate maker preferences regarding *Makeropolis*, a two-acre light-industrial, multi-tenant maker community we are planning for 3250 Hollis in West Oakland. The meeting will take place on: · *Tuesday morning, June 11th, from at 10 a.m.* · *at 612 Howard Street in Suite 100. * 612 Howard <http://lightnergroup.com/612-howard-street-san-francisc> is just two blocks from the Montgomery BART station and a block from Moscone Center Garage. We are holding it in this San Francisco building because we renovated it and believe its architecture inspires creativity. Heres brief description of what we are calling Makeropolis: Theres a new industrial revolution in America, with thousands of micro-manufacturers taking advantage of new technologies to make useful things. We see an unfulfilled need for clean and bright workspaces, purpose-built for these neo-industrialists. So we are developing a multi-tenant light-industrial campus where budding entrepreneurs can produce great things. Located in northwest Oakland, this two-acre community combines smaller and larger indoor spaces, access to shared resources, a relaxing outdoor central park and maker-friendly, on-site management. Our mission is to enable innovation, craftsmanship and productivity in a clean, secure and inspirational environment. We really hope you will join us in this exciting process. If you want to bring another maker who has interest in helping create this environment, please invite them and let us know theyre coming. R.S.V.P. wl(a)lightnergroup.com 415-267-2900 x114 Thanks!

I went to sudoroom for the first time yesterday!!!

by Sonja Trauss

It's amazing! It's beautiful! I want to be a member and pay money but I don't want to come to a lot of meetings, is that ok? Would anybody be interested, do you think, in co-op mat pilates classes in the mornings? I really love pilates, but it's really expensive. You don't need machines at all to do it, all you need is a big carpeted floor. I think if a person has taken like 3 classes he or she is qualified to lead a class. I'd like to take turns leading. A potential downside I envision has to do with insurance. Do you think your insurance would prohibit sports, even really low key sports like mat exercises?

making thread

by Romy Ilano

i'm not going to maker faire this year (too bad) i'm starting a thread for people who like to make things. i'd like for this to result in something creative. there were some nice projects last weekend. i made a lot of progress this week learning stuff. == i'm not so interested in being sent lots of links to instructables / youtube videos of burrito delivery drones / stuff that doesn't result in people doing creative things in the space / rambling political rants but you know, it's a "free country" and we are all anarchists so you can write what you want.
