Re: [sudo-discuss] East Bay DIYBio next meeting possible topics of discussion...

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, I just wanted to confirm that we are indeed still meeting this Friday at 6pm if that still works for everyone. At the moment I'm still trying to get us access to the Berkeley space that we discussed before for the possible East Bay DIY Bio hacker space but no word yet. So we have a choice 1. Meet at a Cafe/Bar/Restaurant (possibly Saturn Cafe) in Berkeley at 6pm 2. Alternatively, we could meet back at Sudo room at 6pm just before the hacker happy hour and talk for a while as people arrive until about 7/7.30pm? My preference (for simplicity) would probably be Sudo Room Let me and our fellow Biohacker members know if you have a preference? Please also see the agenda below compiled by Ron: 1) How to build a self-sustaining community? What sorts of organization, resources, people, physical requirements would there be to get a space off the ground? Who will be in the community and what are their goals? How might membership work? What are our self sustaining budget numbers? How will the lease and other such legal obligations work? How can we collaborate with biocurious and nextgen? Who can be our allies to build this momentum? Other topics related: legal, regulatory, fiscal requirements, organization, volunteers, building momentum, lab rules 2) Projects. Everyone loves talking about projects. Given some idea of what the community needs, how can projects build that community? Because it takes at least 6 months of focused experience to get up to speed in actual biological hacking, team projects will probably be the mainstay of the lab for a while. Team projects should probably be focused and supported by vote, but how can we gauge what is too ambitious for a first round? For example: - open benchtop* - the bioprinter project is an experience to learn from - bio Informatics support for the lab or diyBio - open source bioreagent design. 3) Appendix: Lessons learned: - Biologists involved in the core of the startup process have been pretty useful. - getting members up to speed can take months and they need mentorship to get to a level of creative practice. - projects build enthusiasm as well as get people experience - classes are important - the community is made of people all of whom are needed to build the community successfully (e.g. members, volunteers, class attendees, board members (or something like board members anyway). * BTW - This is the gogofuge link I mentioned - really a niceified dremel centrifuge. http://diybio.org/2012/06/12/gogofuge/ All the best, Ryan On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 9:09 AM, Ron Shigeta <rtshigeta(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Hey everyone, > > Really enjoyed seeing everyone in last month! > > Since we have decided to talk more about an East Bay DIYBio space...

Walked up in the Sudoroom like what up, I'm cfarivar

by Cyrus Farivar

Hey all, Cyrus (suh-ROOS) here. My day job is at Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/author/cyrus-farivar/) where I write about business, tech policy, privacy and surveillance. I'm also the author of "The Internet of Elsewhere" (http://amzn.to/lVg5Cj) a book about the history and effects of the Internet in four countries around the world. I also love Oakland, tacos and biking—the East Bay Express gave me a "Best Bike Tour" award back in 2010 for my "Tour de Taco." (http://bit.ly/ZszktY) I also am active in radio, and have done lots of reporting for NPR and other public radio. I lived and worked for two years ('10-'12) in Germany, working for Deutsche Welle English (German intl public radio). I've also lived in France, Senegal, Australia and Switzerland. (French is my best foreign language, but I speak some German, Persian and Spanish too.) I met Matt at the Techliminal party the other and am curious to meet the Sudoroom community. I came by the space today and worked for a little bit and am hoping to become a member. I have a standing engagement on Wednesday nights but I'm hoping to come to a meeting sometime next month.

Help with a senior thesis project studying the effects of the internet on young minds

by Anca Mosoiu

Hi everyone, Meet Kevin. He's a senior at Met West High School, where they do a senior thesis project. Kevin is looking at the effects of the internet on young people, and how to get them focused more productively. If you'd like to be interviewed, let me know - we can pick up a time to invite Kevin to the Sudo room and talk to a few people at once. I know you have some opinions (and experience...) about this. :) Here's his proposal summary: My project idea is to help young people become aware and know what the internet and technology are doing to the planet and to our brains. Not only are young people, millennials, wasting their time on the internet with social networking sties, but they don’t gain anything educational and useful or for financial benefit while on these sites. One thing they are losing is time on the internet for social networking and not accomplishing work or homework with the same effort and competence. We should care because it is controlling people and just making them spend most of their time on the sites. Recent studies show that technology is changing how our brain works; reading, concentration, contemplation and our capacity, which are also losing the full abilities of the human brain. Since we depend on technology so much, I want to make people aware of how our brain is being impacted and find different ways that we can minimize our loss. I want to tell them that they should use their brain power and time on something that will help them in the future so they do not lose both of them during the same time at a young age. -- Cheers, Anca. -- -=-=-=- Anca Mosoiu | Tech Liminal anca(a)techliminal.com M: (510) 220-6660 http://techliminal.com | T: @techliminal | F: facebook.com/techliminal

Re: [sudo-discuss] Meeting tonight, but where is the agenda?

It's been on the local pad all along. I've just copied the contents to https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom and starred the revision, but good luck keeping it up there... Sorry I probably won't be there tonight. Still recovering from a bad cold. (I had to tunnel through ssh to do this...)

sudo-crowd mailing list

by Eddan

Dear Sudo folk. I am pleased to announce the formation of a new mailing list focused on crowdfunding, theory and practice. We will be collecting background resources and commentary on crowdfunding to fill out the JOBS Act page on the Sudo wiki - http://sudoroom.org/wiki/JOBS_Act. To sign up for the list, please go to: http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-crowd. In addition to discussion, we will use the mailing list to collaborate on crowdfunding related projects. The first one being the drafting of public comments on behalf of Sudo Room ( http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/jobsactcomments.shtml). You can see the comments currently submitted to the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobs-title-iii.shtml. There are a bunch of them, so I think the most substantive comments to perhaps start with are the two Rockethub white papers on Regulation ( http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobstitleiii-39.htm) and Implementation ( http://www.sec.gov/comments/jobs-title-iii/jobstitleiii-39.htm). sent from eddan.com

Spare Quality Coffee Grounds

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Yo sudosicles, Sudoshroom has started shrooming today. We have a deal with Farleys and get their awesome espresso grounds for free. This means that>> 1) right now we got around 3/4lbs of high quality grounds at sudoroom leftovers. Come pick em up asap and use em in your garden/shrooming. This wont be the last time we will have leftoer grounds. 2) sudoshroom won\t need grounds collected by ourselves space. We can still keep collecting but personally Im unsure what it will be used for, because for shrooming, the grounds we get from farleys are plentiful and with less risk of contamination, more dry and easier to handle. The alternative to collecting is composting in the bins mr Senate set up (good job Matt!), which seems pretty fine too. Make a great night, Morten
