missing power drill

by hol＠gaskill.com

sorry to hit the list with this - I brought a yellow corded power drill during one of the move-in sundays and it is nowhere to be found. probably has "GASKILL" written on it in sharpie, figured someone just borrowed it which is okay as long as it comes back...maybe someone else who brought tools took it back with them? cheers, hol

daisy-chaining power supplies in the space

by rusty lindgren

Hello Fellow Sudo People, This is a good article about why we shouldn't daisy-chain things in the space. Any suggestions on a work-around is appreciated. I am offering to help hack this problem. http://www.compliance.gov/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/fastfacts_daisychains.… -- Cheers, Rusty **

February's Awesome Foundation SF grants earmarked for kids' projects

by Rachel McConnell

Calling all teachers, parents, educators, teenagers, and kids! The Awesome Foundation grants $1000 to people with AWESOME projects every month. We want to remind everyone that for our February grant, we will sponsor only projects submitted by kids! Submissions can come from individuals or groups of people who are either under the age of 18 or in high school. We will also consider applications submitted by educators on behalf of a classroom-wide project. We want to encourage youth to dream up an awesome idea and experience the magic of bringing it to fruition. What kind of project? Well, the single most important guideline is that the project is totally awesome. But, we also tend to favor projects that spread awesomeness to a wide audience. We suggest that interested applicants take a look at our website and browse through past winning projects: http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sf Of course, anyone may submit an application at any time, but February’s grant will only go to a kid’s project. Students should submit proposals through our website between February 1st and February 28th. http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may just be interested! Rachel McConnell Microtrustee, San Francisco Chapter Awesome Foundation

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy

by J.C.

Some details from nb that could give some insight at hacker space financial planning. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Noisebridge Treasurer* Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy To: Noisebridge <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Cc: Noisebridge Treasurer <treasurer(a)noisebridge.net>, secretary(a)noisebridge.net Hey folks, a little bit more in depth financial report this week. Can someone show this at the meeting? Our secretary, my usual proxy, is home sick. Can someone chat with me about presenting this stuff? I can also write a little more elaborate explanation. The attached charts are looking at *individual donor income*. That means I've excluded corporate matching, anonymous cash donations (which all go under Anonymous), and the large donation from the Thiel foundation. What you're looking at here is individuals (all renamed to protect the innocent) who regularly donate to noisebridge, and trends in that income. A few interesting notes: - We always seem to get nervous about our balance in the winter, but we actually have less income over the summer. - 2011 was actually a good year for us. That was the first year we panicked in the winter about not having enough money, twittered about it, and made lots of money. You can see the peak in late 2011 / early 2012. 2011 also has the largest average annual donation per donor, the largest annual total, and the largest summer income. Winter 2010 beats winter 2011 though. - We have a small core of amazing, consistent, large donors. I thought these might change over the years but they are actually pretty consistent. You can see them in the color coding for the stacked annual chart. So thank you to Signe Bergman, Gertrude Harding, Marianne Hainisch, Emily Stowe, and most of all Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, for their incredible support of Noisebridge. -Kelly
