Re: [sudo-discuss] Open Source Desktop Biotech lab

by Anthony Di Franco

By the way, we also have a sub-list for discussing this sort of thing, more focused on medical device technology, medevice@googlegroups<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/medevice> On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 7:42 PM, Ryan Bethencourt < ryan.bethencourt(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Dear All, > > Marc, Anthony and I have been talking about starting up an initiative to > build a desktop open source biotech lab set up (an evolution of the current > open source movement) so that we could open up the world of biotech to all > hobbists not just those with access to labs. > > At the moment we're thinking of starting small and simple with a small > desktop lab that would allow you to transform bacteria to express green > florescent protein (i.e. they would glow) but hopefully expanding out to > bigger and more important projects to open up the world of biotech science > to amateurs (and hopefully the development of therapeutics to treat > disease). > > We're currently considering having our first meet up to discuss the > project this upcoming Friday evening.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Crowdsourcing a "safe space" definition

I forked this a long time ago, but now I've edited and committed.

A random email poll about dues - please respond!

by Tommy York

Hello again, I have a couple questions for dues-paying members: 1) How have you paid dues in the past? (Cash, check, other? I don't even know what the options are yet at this moment.) 2) How would you like to pay dues? I'd love to see an easy, online option for donations up on our website (maybe this exists, but a quick glance at the website does not reveal anything, and assuming your average sudoer or outsider isn't going to search for it) but as I understand it, people may have some thoughts on what that option would look like, leading me to ask question 3: 3) What are you constraints on option 2? Would you prefer using non-profit / cooperative / what have you funding options - or the lack thereof, and thus check and cash - over for profit funding options? 4) Comments on various means of communication about dues, what's worked, what hasn't, what you'd like to see. This is a non-committal, information gathering exercise. Looking forward to h^3, Tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

6 beautiful mahogany pews for sudo room. Free!

by Ray Lai

Heres the saga thusly: There are 6 pews for free in vallejo. They are a beautiful mahogany with orange/red seating. They are 16 feet long. Marty was going to haul them with his truck but unfortunately the bed is too short. :( So we turned to Craigslist for a mover. We found one who would do it for $60! Woot! We had it set up for 9 this morning. He calls at 8 and says his truck bed is too small. :( So we looked up prices from U-Haul. $30 bucks for a 17' moving van. Sounds perfect. Unfortunately the fine print says U-haul charges $1 a mile. Vallejo is apprx. 30 miles away. So we are looking at something around $100-$110 with gas & bridge. So any ideas, Sudoers? Anyone have access to a flat-bed? Or want to chip into the cost of the U-Haul? The church lady was so nice; she said she would hold them for another day if we could get it together. When I remarked on her niceness she said it was the "Jesus" in her. :) Ideas? (Tenacious) Ray Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

Free freezer (needs coolant) for your project

by Raymond Lai

Hello Sudoers! Who wants an apartment sized freezer for a project? You can make a DIY smoker <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHJlBLYGNcs> or use it in fermenting beer. <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/> The freezer works as a fridge now (possibly needs more coolant), and it chills to about 40 degrees F. It's completely free, you just need to grab it from our apartment on Oakland Ave x Grand. We are at the top of 1 flight of stairs. Here's some pix for the freezer/fridge that will make the perfect smoker or beer fermenter of your DIY dreams. Cheers, Ray the Ice Cream Man 415.843.1287 <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/>
