<blockquote><big>'''Fermentation Mondays! 5-7p'''</big></blockquote>[[File: Masa_fermentando.JPG|Fermented dough, by Flavio Piacenza via Wikimedia Commons|thumb|right]]

Our active projects include making small batches of Kombucha and building a temperature monitor using a Raspberry PI. Got other ideas? Bring 'em by!

We are working out of "Room 1" on the CCL side of the Bocce Room shared by Sudo Room and CCL. When you enter the building from the door at the corner of Shattuck and 48th, you will enter into a room that was formerly a bar and has mirrored walls on one side. Walk to the end of the room through the open door, and make a left. You have arrived! :D

Insurance

2014-03-02T04:54:47Z

Bleeblahblue: update!

==Sudo Room==
===Update 02/28/2014===
Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] STATE FARM: GENERAL LIABILITY QUOTE AND
RENTERS INSURANCE BROCHURE
Hey all,

I paid $149.32 for two months of installments and a $2 filing fee from the
sudo room account and passed the certificate of insurance on to the
landlords.

// Matt
===2141 Broadway===
Requests from the landlords:
:"Liability insurance with George and I as named insureds for $1M that covers the usual (injury, damages, fire, theft, etc.) for officers and members of the Sudo room re. the building. When you have the policy they will give us a certificate of insurance."

So this seems to imply we need the typical General Liability insurance to cover $1M with the landlords as named insureds.

==Research==
===General Liability Insurance===
via InsuranceForNonProfits.org:
"This is typically the "core" coverage for a nonprofit. Most commercial general liability insurance provides coverage for a wide range of acts or offenses which result in bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury or property damage to a third party. The most common type of incident covered by this policy is a "slip and fall". Commercial general liability (often referred to as CGL or GL) insurance is generally available as an "occurrence" policy, which provides significant advantages over a "claims-made" policy.

A general liability policy may also extend to special events. If your organization conducts any type of special events, you should make sure that your general liability policy includes special events and that you follow any requirements about providing notice of special events."

===Talking Points===
*All-ages meeting area separate from workshop area.
*Anyone under 18 accompanied by an adult guardian.
*No seriously dangerous tools in the space.

===Underwriter Paragraph===
Just a draft of key points to make, please prettify the language:

Sudo Room is a non-profit membership organization that provides work space and meeting space for members and their guests, as well as access to tools and materials for creative and technical projects. Member projects and workshops are artistic, scientific, and educational in nature, Activities include 3D printing; audio production, recording and broadcasting; painting and sculpture; electronics assembly and soldering; and computer programming. Events include talks, lectures, workshops and presentations in a clean, safe space.

==1. Rocket Stove.==

This appropriate-technology rocket stove is a replicable, open source wood grill which can be made using found [[material]] and minimal [[tools]] access. Design and instructions on how to build can be found at [[Art and Revolution]]: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Art_and_Revolution

[[File:Rocket Stove Finished.jpg|thumb|Rocket Stove, final version. A [[Rocket Stove]] is an easy barbeque grill that anyone can make, and one of the most efficient burners of wood that's available.]]

A Rocket Stove is appropriate technology. One of the most efficient and minimalistic converters of wood into heat, the stove can be used to boil water quickly and saves the camper having to carry and buy replacement fuels. The first version [https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Rocket_Stove.jpg] burned successfully and proved lasting, even with being used every day in a farm situation. After losing the first version, the second version was built with found materials in the street. Finally, a third version was made, pictured, with found materials as well. This one has near perfect air-flow, for a long contracted burn. We are looking at building miniature versions, once we eat more canned food! I will upload the drawn schematics with the how-to.

Mesh

2013-11-12T21:13:28Z

Bleeblahblue:

'''<big>Oct 25: Launched [https://peoplesopen.net/ PeoplesOpen.net] our public project page!</big>'''
 

'''''We are a group of volunteers building a community mesh network in Oakland, California.'''''

A mesh network is, in essence, free as in freedom alternative internet. Using low-cost routers (often donated or recycled) mounted on rooftops, we're currently building the backbone of the mesh throughout downtown Oakland, from West Oakland to the Fruitvale BART and beyond!

Mesh networks are awesome because they don't depend on the existing centralized Internet Service Providers to function. Though they can be connected to the Internet as we know it now, a mesh network provides a decentralized mode of communication with our local community. We view mesh networks as a means of connecting to our neighbors, supporting local businesses, and enabling grassroots community collaboration. In the event of disaster or government censorship, an active mesh network is a resilient means of communication and sharing of information.

=Technical=
==Building a backbone of point-to-point line of sight rooftop wifi mesh nodes to bootstrap the reach of the network==
*The mesh right now has very few nodes that are directly connected (as opposed to connected over the Internet), which makes the usefulness of the mesh questionable in disaster and extreme censorship scenarios.
*We've been focusing on finding a simple and inexpensive solution for point to point rooftop nodes in order to create a far reaching backbone of high-bandwidth interconnected nodes. Currently we're testing a solution using recycled small satellite dishes with cheap usb wifi adapters mounted and weatherproofed at the dish's point of focus. Inexpensive computers such as a raspberry pi can then, when hooked up to one or more of these nodes, connect rooftops more than a mile apart. Finding people willing to host rooftop equipment and others willing to donate unused satellite dishes has become another way we engage with the local community.

==Mesh coverage of local areas from connected nodes using powerful omnidirectional wifi equipment==
*510pen currently uses a variety of mesh routers from open-mesh.com. Some of them have good coverage, but they are all currently mounted indoors, which inhibits street coverage and mesh links between blocks.
*Better outdoor omnidirectional routers need to be purchased, tested and installed.

==Low bandwidth disaster recovery mesh==
*The likeliest disaster scenario in the bay area is a major earthquake. Such an event is likely to disrupt many wifi nodes, and especially finely tuned point to point links.
*We're building a separate mesh using low-bandwidth, long range radio communication that will run something like a decentralized twitter, where short text messages can be shared and synchronized as radio links are available.
*To implement this, we're using $12 off the shelf tv tuners that can be used as receive-only general-purpose digital radios. Transmission is stil being worked out, but the current idea is that receive-hardware is cheap enough that 2 gig bootable usb sticks, tv tuners and very simple home-made antennas can be distributed both before and after a disaster, and that these will allow people to set up local stations where updates about local resources such as shelters, food and power can be accessed, while stations capable of transmitting new messages will be fewer (possibly requiring more expensive hardware) but will announce their locations such that anyone can walk to a local transmit station if they want to send a message out on the mesh.

=Social=

==Community-Based Participatory Action Research in the San Antonio district of Oakland==
*We are currently researching existing community organizations in the San Antonio neighborhood for potential collaboration, and have established relationships with (and set up mesh nodes for) three grassroots organizations in the San Antonio neighborhood: Liberating Ourselves Locally (LOL), a makerspace run by and for people of color; Sustaining Ourselves Locally (SOL), a community garden and food justice advocacy and education space; and Cycles of Change, a community bike repair, advocacy and education space. Moving forward, we intend to expand the mesh through reaching out to grassroots organizations and local businesses, our process of designing and deploying mesh services guided by the needs and desires of existing community actors.

*The ethnographic research component of the project also involves interviewing local residents, designing and distributing community surveys, historical and political analysis, and asset mapping of existing and potential community resources.

==Documentation of use cases and user stories==
*Articulating use cases for mesh networks involves the creation of user stories based on interviews with local residents and participatory engagement with existing community organizations and groups. The research process will be transparently documented on a research wiki, incorporating interview notes, meeting minutes, an annotated bibliography, written analysis and visual infographics (for an example, see Jenny's current research wiki here: http://wiki.tidepools.co).

*This documentation is intended to support a model of open source technology design that is bottom-up in nature, rooted in the interests of those who would receive the greatest humanitarian benefit from the technology and participate intimately with the development process.

==Illustrated instructables for adapting recycled/reused items for DIY hardware==
*A major focus of the project is to experiment with recycled and donated hardware for the purposes of designing mesh solutions at minimal cost. Experimentation with various firmwares (eg; Commotion, Freifunk, Byzantium) and protocols (eg; OLSRd, batman-adv, Babel) using off-the-shelf and upcycled hardware (eg; donated routers and satellite dishes) will be extensively documented. Well-designed instructables/comics will incorporate use cases, user stories, and DIY building processes in an effort to engage everyday folks to experiment with mesh technology in their local neighborhoods.

McHawking Robot Hacking

2013-11-12T21:12:40Z

Bleeblahblue:

= McHawking Wheelchair Robot @ Sudo Room =

== Technical Details ==

* For the most recent (but possibly incorrect and/or contradictory) technical information please refer to the [http://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noise-Bot Noise-Bot page on the Noisebridge Wiki]

* For information about the original hack which converted the electric wheelchair into the McHawking robot, please see the [http://www.instructables.com/id/Brain-Controlled-Wheelchair/ Brain-Controlled Wheelchair document on Instructables.com]

* For information on the open source DORA bot project (which was applied to the last iteration of the McHawking hardware) please [http://www.dorabot.com/ visit the project website]

== Network ==

* You can SSH into McHawking if you are physically located at Sudo Room and connected to the "sudoroom" wireless access point

* IP Address: 192.168.1.5 (details on the '''[http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Network Sudo Room Network Page]''')

* username: mchawking
* password: [redacted]

== Software ==

*'''[https://code.google.com/p/mchawking/ Google Code repository]'''

*'''[https://puzzlebox.info/robotics Puzzlebox Robotics tracker (for Brain-Control)]'''

== Operating Instructions ==

* Change to the "lilia" directory int he "mchawking" account's home directory ("/home/mchawking/lilia")

* Execute the "controller.py" Python script ("./controller.py")

* At this point you can operate McHawking

commands:
i j k l to move, SPACE = stop, x = quit
s d f g or 0-9 to adjust speed between 0 and 255.

* First set a speed setting by typing a number from 0-9 on the keyboard. "5" is a good number for getting started

* Then press down and hold a key to start McHawking moving. "i" is for forward (where "forward" means in the direction of the monitor. If you were sitting in the original seat of the wheelchair this would actually be "backward")

* If the wheelchair doesn't drive check to see that the light on the manual joystick is active. Move the joystick briefly in any direction and you should hear the wheel controller click as it engages. Now try to drive again via software.

== Hardware ==

* There is a yellow wire going to a screw terminal on the Arduino which controls power to the computer. This is a safety mechanism and will force a hard reboot when terminal connection is lost by the Arduino (including during normal software exit). Unscrew this cable when uploading new firmware to the Arduino.

===Fascinating Friday Films===
Let's include in this weekly event mind-expanding movies on the realm of sex and sexuality.
*[http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2013/03/hop-on-porny-express_15.html Bike Smut] screening!
===Interactive Pheromone Station===
Based off the old Exploratorium installation titled "''The Olfaction of Attraction''", explorers had access to little squeeze bottles with human pheromones in them. Depending on one's genes and gender, one may find the smell either repulsive or attractive. It's fantastic seeing two people, one with a look of disgust and the other with a pleased smile, trying to reconcile their different perceptions.
==="Quantified Sex" Experiments===
Heart rate monitors, skin flushing, eeg, etc.
*This relates to Ned and Maggie Mayhem of [http://psigasm.net/]: "PSIgasm was conceived in 2010 by an HIV prevention specialist and an experimental physicist, both of whom moonlight as queer porn performers and are active in the Bay Area sex positive scene. The project revolves around measurement devices that can be used as sex toys, simultaneously getting people off and monitoring physiological responses correlated with arousal and orgasm."

==Inclusivity==
===Community Infrastructure===
How do we make the hackerspace a more inclusive space for people of all intersections of human sexuality?

*'''Vicky is committed to making sure that women's and shared-gender bathrooms are fully stocked with menstrual products. She adds stuff on occasion from her bulk stockpile, but isn't always able to get to Sudo Room. Will you help her and add to the pile?'''

*Let's create a sexual health box, including menstrual and safe sex products and information. Thinking in terms of the analog world and how people interact within it is really important! [[image:Condomerie Amsterdam.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Safe sex can be cute and funny and weird and colorful!]]

==Resources and People to Connect With==
* Good Vibes. OH WAIT, Vicky knows Joani Blank, the founder!
* Feelmore 510 - gallery and sex shop, also run Fresh Fridays at The New Parkway (selection of films from the erotic, pornographic, thoughtful and beyond)
*FemSexComm/FemSex
*Arse Electronika
*[http://slashdong.org/ Slashdong]: Kyle Machulis is a whip-smart brash software engineer who, on the side, blogs about teleldildonics (using haptic and telecommunications technology to facilitate long-distance sex), DIY sex toys, and other mash-ups of sex and tech. He's really fun.
*''The Archaeology of Vice''. Kari Jones and Liz Clevinger work in the archaeology programs at the Presidio of San Francisco. Among the things unearthed? Well, the archeological record suggests that, shockingly, soldiers stationed there liked sex, based on the wide range of vintage porn, prophylactics, and medically-dubious STD cures dug up in the Presidio."

DisasterRadio/Android app

2013-11-12T20:57:57Z

Bleeblahblue:

The Android app should at minimum contain a browsable offline map of the local area that displays locations of various emergency-relevant services. It should include automatic bluetooth synchronization to receive stations and other phones.

The code is [https://github.com/DisasterRadio/DisasterRadioAndroid available on github].

= Bluetooth =

The bluetooth device discovery and connection from Android phones is working, but we're having trouble connecting to python-bluez examples and currently troubleshooting. Could be because python-bluez is unmaintained since 2009 or because the bluetooth usb sticks we have just plain suck.

Interesting projects:

*[https://github.com/schnej7/Blue-Mesh Blue-Mesh]

= Synchronization =

We'll use a variation on [https://github.com/dominictarr/scuttlebutt scuttlebutt] synchronization that supports receive-only "sync". Currently porting to Java.

= Maps =

There seem to be two Android map libraries:

*[http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/ MapsForge] - Vector-based
:Seems like development stopped in late 2012. Map download server is down. I tried it out and while it's pretty fast even on an older phone, the map is not impressive to look at.
*[http://code.google.com/p/osmdroid/ osmdroid] - Bitmap-based

DisasterRadio/SDR software

2013-11-12T20:57:22Z

Bleeblahblue:

This page is currently a bit of a mess, containing only some notes about GNU Radio. Much documentation work needed.

= Source code =

The code is [https://github.com/DisasterRadio/DisasterRadioSDR available on github].

= Interesting links =

*[https://www.cgran.org/wiki/Projects List of awesome GNU Radio projects]

= UHD gain selection =

The command:

sudo uhd_find_devices

Should list the gain range for the TX or RX frontend of choice.

E.g. for the WBX TX frontend you get:

Gain range PGA0: 0.0 to 25.0 step 0.1 dB

Make sure you're not looking at the gain range for TX when you're looking to receive or vice-versa, as the won't necessarily be the same!

= GNU Radio UHD device selection =

For a USRP 1 this should be in the form: serial=<hex_serial>. E.g:

serial=24e6b31a

To find device serial run:

sudo uhd_find_devices

You're looking for output that looks like:

| _____________________________________________________
| /
| | Mboard: USRP1
| | serial: 24e6b31a

To set the sub-device (the daughterboard and channel) use the format:

<slot_name>:<daughterboard_frontend_id>

E.g:

B:0

This slot_name and daughterboard_frontend_id are also findable with the command:

sudo uhd_find_devices

The output you're looking for looks like:

| | _____________________________________________________
| | /
| | | RX Dboard: B
| | | ID: WBX, WBX + Simple GDB (0x0053)
| | | _____________________________________________________
| | | /
| | | | RX Frontend: 0
| | | | Name: WBXv2 RX+GDB
| | | | Antennas: TX/RX, RX2, CAL
| | | | Sensors: lo_locked
| | | | Freq range: 68.750 to 2200.000 Mhz
| | | | Gain range PGA0: 0.0 to 31.5 step 0.5 dB
| | | | Connection Type: IQ
| | | | Uses LO offset: No

Specifically the lines:

| | | RX Dboard: B

and:

| | | | RX Frontend: 0

Together making up the B:0.

== For command-line python scripts ==

For command line scripts, device and sub-device is often specified with the --args and --spec arguments. E.g:

my_script.py --args serial=24e6b31a --spec B:0

This syntax may vary from script to script, but this is the most common syntax.

== For GNU Radio Companion ==

For the "UHD: USRP Sink" in the latest version of grc (as of this writing) the field "Device Addr" would be set to e.g. serial=24e6b31a and the field "Mb0: Subdev Spec" would be set to e.g. "B:0".

Hack The Room

2013-11-12T20:56:05Z

Bleeblahblue:

In late May 2013, we find ourselves with a number of hacks necessary to improve ACCESS to & functioning of the space. On Sunday 5/25/13, starting at 11:45 and running all day long (until the wee hours of Memorial Day Monday with a potential midnight tofu bbq), we will be HACKING THE ROOM.

Here are the necessary hacks (by category):

==Hardware Hacking:==
* Getting a raspi attached to the sudo <=> (common space) door.
* Installing a circuit on both doors that will be able to send signals to their respective raspi's.
* Move shit and reorganize space.

==Software Hacking:==
* DONE: Getting the mouse buzzer working
* Creating an API for the door open/closed states
* Whipping up some code for the homepage to interface with the API

==Administrative:==
* Getting a comprehensive membership list
** prerequisite: hack on different configurations of membership & access (how do we determine who gets personal access to the space, etc.)? ...See the [[Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits|"member benefits" section of the articles of association]] for details.
** Check out [[Membership Benefits Discussion]] to participate in the discussion over specific member benefits.
**(roadblock: Tommy needs access to the bank acct to get a list of dues paying members, no?)
** additional thoughts: what else is needed to improve membership management?
* Improving finance management
** Need to determine areas for improvement in the current finance tracking/management system and areas where responsibility can be shared, etc.
* Review clarifications required with landlords for space.
** STATUS: jenny sent the requirements for common space usage that we developed with the public space to george and asked for his list of requirements.
* Meeting format
** STATUS: Check out suggested reformatted version of meeting format at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sudo_room/Agenda_template and a live version here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom . Please create divs and discuss this on the list.
* Outreach strategy
* Encouraging regular payment of dues from members
* Updating https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Door_Access

==Attendees:==

''Please add your name below if you plan to come to the hackathon and indicate which category of hack you'd like to work on and what times you'll be available (if you'll only be available for part of the day, this will help us coordinate to ensure that all the hardware hackers are present at the same time, etc.)''

* [[User:Mk30|mk30]] | admin & food | all day & night, except a few hours in the evening
* [[User:Legind|legind]] | software hacking | all day, maybe taking off in the evening
* [[User:Factotum|factotum]] | hardware+admin+coffee | from ~11 am to ~5pm
* [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]] | Party mode Berkeley Skatepark invasion / setting up bitcoin donation page | Monday night aftermath (not there sunday or monday morning)
* [[User:Eddandotcom|eddanDotCom]] | sudo-opoly | early afternoon and late afternoon
* [[Special:Contributions/50.0.83.158|50.0.83.158]] 19:43, 29 May 2013 (PDT)

==Notes and Comments==

* Please note that the public school will have a poetry reading in the common space from 3-6PM, which means that we won't be able to use that space at that time and that we should strive to provide a quiet environment (ie, music should strive to not spill over into the common area).

Food hacking at Sudo Room

'''Carbonated Mate Drinks'''

We are on the way to making more ecological, less wasteful, less sugary, and overall healthier versions of soda and "energy drinks" at SudoRoom.

* Max has this incredible idea... I'm letting him run with it!
* Romy can bring her own SodaStream from home to make carbonated water. Later we can find ways to buy cheap co2 cannisters and make soda without using proprietary products.

==[[Sudomate]]==

We don't need no proprietary carbonation
we don't need no energy drink monopolization
we don't need no high fructose corn syrup
we just need some sudomate to rip rip rip

Recipe for '''Sudo Mate Mach 5''' 
280 g sugar liquid & lightly caramelized 
80g of Mate thrown into the hot sugar. Stir to mix all mate into liquid sugar 
4 Liters of hot water to disolve the sugar and steep the mate. Steep 5 minutes. 
Add 
4 pinches of salt 
25g vanilla xtract 
30g ginger sliced fine 
50g honey 
40g lemon juice (bout a lemons worth) 
40g lime juice (bout 2 limes) 
and 2 pinches of guar gum 
mixxx 
yield is apprx 4 Liters

== [[Sudoshroom]] ==

Mycology experiments for fun, heath, and saving the world!

== Raymond Lai's Food Hacking ==

I don't even know where to start! This man is amazing.
We will add more about Ray's food experiments, many of which are interwoven with personal family stories.
You will find a lot of food experiences at our weekly Wednesday meetings!

GameHacking

2013-11-12T20:53:43Z

Bleeblahblue:

I'm interested in hacking games on mobile phones.

==Happy Patterns==

* Showcasing the creativity of the Sudo Room members
* Showcasing the creativity of the Oakland community
* Promoting community without directly getting involved in Oakland local politics
* Everyone learning to code
* all the code being open sourced on github or bitbucket! Collaboration instead of stuff being funneled into someone's private kickstarter project.

===Pinboard===

====iOS Developer lone Wolf====
[[File:Lone Wolf.jpg|thumb|right|howl! iOS lone wolves!]]

* [[User:Romyilano||RomyIlano]] I am the lone wolf iphone developer at SudoRoom. I previously suggested Cocos2D but the WWDC 2013 announcements changed everything! Since this stuff is NDA, please contact me. we are the lone wolves and outcasts of the open source community. If we do not band together the angry mob will take us and burn us at the stake. Be aware that there are lot of people being paid off by varoius business interests to promote Android at SudoRoom so keep your iOS development a secret or they will gang up on you. I am learning the new APIs. let us band together or be devoured by the mob.

==Anti-Patterns==

There was a lot of anti-PC stuff but I erased it.

* Anyone trying to turn sudo room game hacking into a trade show -- please give full disclosure. Please be honest.

We hope you will join us for what we expect to be a tremendous event !

Love & solidarity -- David Brazil (for the Summer School organizing committee)

''From Jenny via Archives: http://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2013-August/003471.html''

'''[sudo-discuss] Cryptoparty + Lightning Talks, this Saturday at Sudo Room!'''

The last day of the Bay Area Public School / Sudo Room's weeklong Summer School program, Information Day kicks off with a 3-hour Cryptoparty starting at 12pm. We'll be showing people how to run Tor (anonymous browsing), set up private and public keys for authentication, use encrypted chat, and secure their phone calls. All skill levels welcome!

We'll conclude the evening with free drinks and dancing!

Sudo Room is located at 2141 Broadway St, two blocks from the 19th St Oakland BART. Curl left around the corner at 22nd - the entrance is on 22nd St. We'll be running from 12-6, so drop in anytime. Flier attached.

Come and party like it's 1984! :P

Community Democracy Project

2013-11-12T20:34:30Z

Bleeblahblue:

== HOW DO WE CREATE.... ==

...social life beyond the rat-race competition for scarce resources?

...a broadly shared sense of our interdependence, based on concrete experience and not just good intentions?

...public decision making that reflects the diverse insights and experiences of all?

...a working model of collective power emphasizing the regular actions of many over the extraordinary actions of a few?

== IMAGINE ==

that in Oakland, community forums are regularly held in every neighborhood -
in libraries, churches, schools, and other community spaces.

People come together to discuss the important issues of their neighborhoods and of the city.

Unlike the usual sorts of public forums where officials where officials deliberate with token input from ordinary folks, these gatherings are run by people in the community.

At these empowered ''Neighborhood Assemblies'' people do not merely make reccomendations or share their opinions.

They make fundamental decisions.

They decide how the city is run.

They decide the city budget.

What percentage should go to police, to youth programs, parks, transits, etc.?

What new programs do we need?

Which programs do we phase out? Etc.

Although city staff provide necessary technical expertise, reports, etc., and city officials continue to do the detailed day - to - day work of managing city business,

the fundamentals of how our city works - as reflected in our budget - is decided directly by we the people.

We will have strong participatory democracy at the local level.

This bottom up "people's budgeting" program could be a template for other cities to follow,
and could scale up to inspire the deepening democracy at the county, state, and even national level.

By bringing people together to discuss, debate, and decide on concrete issues that affect their lives,
the ''Neighborhood Assemblies'' would help thousands of people in Oakland - from all walks of life - improve their communication, critical thinking, and leadership skills by building collective understanding and colective power.

This is exactly the kind of culture shift our society needs.

== Your City. Your Budget. Imagine That. ==

== ''Join our campaign as we rewrite the rules in Oakland.''==

==Learnings==
What we are learning from time to time

===From of Batch #1, #2 and #3===
====RECIPES ETC====
*Vanilla extract makes for a really nice aroma. REALLY AWESOME TO HAVE! GETZ IT!
* Salt-lite, mix of potasium and sodium 50/50, is even better than salt. More electrolytes.

====PROCESS, GEAR====
* Bigger pot for main-batch - our keg is 5 gallons. Morten can bring the Subiir turkeyfrier for brewing for next time.
* More containers and things to pour from, into and through in general.
** Getting a big and fine strainer along with a corresponding funnel would be very awesome.
* It was a bit confusing that there were a lot of opinions on each batch. Making batches with separate master chefs worked really well to counter this.
** However, it was a bit messy with a lot of batches going on at once. Better space preparing and workflow would improve this greatly.
* A designated documenter made sure documentation was happening; it worked well that said documenter said ready by the keyboard, doing Just In Time documentation (ie. chefs would simply say numbers as they added, as it was all very experimental).

=== Bottling from Keg, links ===
* [[http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f95/bottling-soda-corny-keg-89081/ some thoughts]]
* [[http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/we-no-need-no-stinking-beer-gun-24678/ a thorough account and walkthru]]
* Counter-pressure bottling:

Biotech Lab-on-a-Desk

= Hardware =

Basic Hardware being worked on.

== Core equipment ==

Open PCR - with a low target price

Gel Box - 120 Volts with amps upto 400 milliamps, imaging possible using a webcam or cell phone

Incubator - Foam box with plexiglass hood and incubator (airflow is important possibly just a little hole, possibly Kombucha style with paper towel top)

Centrifuge - centrifuge (based on the dremelfuge idea of utilizing commercially available equipment)

Our current idea is to us a modular design which would allow the use of one standardized power unit and possibly CPU

== Additional Hardware Project Wish list ==

Sterlization Hood

Mini Fridge

==Wetware==
*
*
==Software==
*
*
Currently discussing a possible open source automation OS for all the modules but still at a very early stage, Marc is has an open source LIMBS system he's developing which may be adoptable.

Bleeblahblue:

= General =

sudoroom has an active beer-brewing group. The mash is made off-site (due to a lack of out-door facilities at sudo room) and fermentation and bottling happens at sudoroom.

Have a look at the individual brews for more info.

See also: [[Sudomate]]

= List of brews =

*[[O:27|subiir 0]] - fermentation started January 12th 2013.
*[[O:88|subiir 2]]
*[[Subiir 6]] - fermentation started june 19th
*[[Subiir 7]] - brewed july 10th

= Projects =

For anyone who wants to brew home brew beer, the materials and basic process are as follows. There is actually a large home-brew community and recipes so, anyone should check in with a basic google search to start: [https://www.google.com/search?q=home+brew+recipes].

The rest is hardware and, there's some that is required for it. The main things are a vat which you can bring to a boil when you're stirring the ingredients, a syphon hose rubber tube, and a large tub with an air vent, that lets out the vent [[air]] as the sugar is transformed by yeast to alcohol. :) Finally, you will need a way to bottle the beer.

== Automated brew system ==
Project to create an automated system to preheat mash and sparge water, carry out step mashing program, and alert operator of different manual steps such as adding hops.

System Components:

-ATMega 328p based controller

-DS1307 Real Time Clock

-DS18B20 Digital Temperature Sensors

-16x4 character LCD Screen

-4x Relay board for pumps and heating elements

-Serial connection for reprogramming

Possible add-ons:

-continuous hopping auger

-servo-controlled gas valve for boil stage

-buzzers and UI improvements

Atmospheric Water Harvesting

2013-11-12T20:25:44Z

Bleeblahblue:

Where there is little access to precipitation, surface water, or groundwater, we must rip water directly from the air. Driven by the need for water at a remote facility, where construction activities have been ongoing through a years-long drought in central Texas, the development of alternative water supply technologies is underway. Under consideration are passive radiative systems and active thermoelectric systems.

The test rig shown below only produced a few mL of water due to failure on the first evening of the commercially manufactured dehumidifier EVA-2200. It is assumed that the fan shut off before the thermoelectric element, leading to overheating and failure. Future systems will have to be designed with scalable power consumption and additional thermal shutdown triggers.
