Fwd: programming classes for kids -- need input on a venue!

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Does everyone want to do a fund-raiser/linux install athon with RoShamboMedia, so that we can have laptops for checking-in-checking out for sudoroom classes?(see specs inline) These are actually nice laptops, but they aren't worth a whole lot(maybe 200 complete tops), so theft wouldn't be a big issue. This would be a great deal for teaching classes and etc. for everyone at sudo. Let me know and thanks, Rusty ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: rusty lindgren <rustylindgren(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 4:05 PM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] programming classes for kids -- need input on a venue! To: Max Ogden <max(a)maxogden.com> Max/ Marina: For whatever purpose we need laptops, I asked around today, and I can get a single lot of thinkpads for about 50 bucks each if we buy a lot of 10, they are dual core 12" screens(no hard drives)... we can get these too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WD-Western-Digital-SSD-D0015SI-5000-SiliconDrive-II… Maybe it's time for a roshambo sudo fundraiser to get laptops? -Rusty On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 1:11 PM, Max Ogden <max(a)maxogden.com> wrote: > very cool, thanks Dan!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Hack The Gallery

by Patrick Schmidt

Hi guys, (all sexes) I just came back from the noisebridge to go over some details with Mitch, who checked out my space in berkeley last week. i wanted to announce it Wednesday at the Meeting but as you are talking about Friday 22nd I have to do it now: So I am running this community Art Gallery called the "Open Fine Art Gallery" in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre in north Berkeley, 2 miles north of downtown. As an art gallery its fun to bring people together, lots of new artists that never showed before, but nothing sells and financially it really sucks to be honest, all savings almost gone. We have been transitioning to a community center, every open day (wed-sat) there is a free and donation based class... On Friday March 22 we have a Fundraiser and Kick-Off coming up and we are going to declare the Space a quantum community space, which means a superposition of - hackerspace -makerspace -tinkerspace -co-creator space - coworking space -developer space - you name it whatever space - avocado institute - nyan cat university and whatever the people who use it as a creative community space want to call it (declare it sudo!?) I have been asking some folks that opened community spaces to give talks as well and want to announce that anybody who wants to give a talk on - opening a community space - why a community space is awesome please let me know for the awesome people in our community who have awesome stuff to share about this and might wanna do so. With or without Powerpoint, well planned or spontaneouly. The place has a huge potential (45 feet high walls, vacant theatre next door) So I would like to invite you all to the Kick-Off Event, and also to be part of transition, please let me know if you wanna get involved. best , Patrick 2013/2/26, Andrew <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com>: > For anyone who watched TPB_AFK last week.

The wikitown meetings are on hold unless folks decide to meet without Evan and I, as we're both maxed out on bandwidth atm :/ This evening I am attending an OpenOakland project meetup at City Hall. I would *love love love* to watch the film on Friday evening; the only scheduled activity for which being Hacker Happy Hour with our very first homebrewed subiir! :D Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

magstripe reader/writer missing?

by William Budington

Hey all, I donated a magstripe reader/writer to the space on Thursday, the MSRW206. I came in today to label it, and it's gone. Has anyone seen it? Please let me know so we can use it for the door or other innocuous purposes ;)

Nerd Nite east bay tomorrow at 7pm

by Naomi Most

Greetings, Tomorrow will be this month's installment of Nerd Nite East Bay. The Nerd Nite franchise puts on good shows and is generally a safe bet for supernerdiness combined with alcohol, or either one of those by themselves depending on personal preference. The SF Nerd Nite almost always sells out, but the East Bay version is only just getting started. I went to last month's episode, and it was Good. However, I think THIS month is going to be Great. They'll have Jessica Richman from uBiome, one of the guys on the Curiosity (Mars rover) team, and something about fabrication (not my bag but I'm sure it'll be fun anyway): http://www.bayareascience.org/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=9578 And it occurs to me that much of this will come as no news to some of you. (In remotely related news, this message constitutes my first email to the sudo-discuss list.) Anyway, there's a small chance I will not make it due to utter exhaustion from overcommitting myself (as usual), but if I know some of y'all will be there, I'll plan my stimulant intake accordingly. Cheers, Naomi

Arduino current protection code?

by Tracy Jacobs

Hi all and Jake if you get this, Does anyone know the bit of code for protecting your arduino from current spikes? I could use that now. I'm trying to run a bunch of heavy duty servos with a bit of a load. They have a separate power supply, but I'm not using any motor controller. Does this seem like a bad idea? Could that little code provide enough protection from current spikes? Thanks for your advice, Tracy Thanks for your advice.

Sudo Needs Your Help

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, At the last meeting I proposed we return to a practice of developing specific action items with corresponding members for each item. You can see them here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2013-02-20 I'd like to do this again, but for much bigger items: 1. Door Access Automation version 0.2 2. Fiscal Solvency Improvements 3. Membership process 4. sudoroom.org version 2.0 Add notes and read more here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom I'm happy to help facilitate and keep track of progress on more things, but inversely, I need more help from other members to implement solutions (which are hopefully simple, elegant systems). // Matt
