Fwd: [omni-discuss] Last chance to fill out the survey about Omni visioning/planning

by niki

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 2:08 PM Subject: [omni-discuss] Last chance to fill out the survey about Omni visioning/planning To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> We have 16 survey <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BXGHX2N> responses - so that means, chances are, if you are reading this, you haven't filled it out. I am giving 1 extra day so we can get a few more people. Please forward the survey link <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BXGHX2N> to people who are active collective members or frequent space users who aren't on this listserv. If you don't fill out the survey, there will still be many opportunities to participate int he visioning and planning, but it would be great to get started with broad input. Thanks Laura -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Your input needed on visioning/planning Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:03:03 -0800 From: Laura Turiano <scylla(a)riseup.net> <scylla(a)riseup.net> To: discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Friends and Omninoms, Several of us (me, Niki, Nick O, Kevin, Amgo, David K) met last week to discuss the possibility of engaging in a visioning and planning process for the Omni Commons. We didn't make any decisions about how to do that, but we did make a plan to make those decisions in a way that can involve as many Omni denizens as possible. Step 1: Here <https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BXGHX2N> is a link to an online survey to get the background information we need to make decisions about the visioning/planning process. The questions are directed at people who are actively involved with the Omni as organizers, collective members, and frequent space users. In other words, it is for people who have first hand experience with how things are going within the Commons. *Please fill out the survey by 6am, Monday, February 23rd.* Instructions are given at the beginning. In order to keep the processing of the data manageable, please answer as concisely as possible. If you know someone who would have something to contribute to the survey but who isn't on this list, feel free to forward this email. Step 2: Once we have collected the survey answers we will convene a meeting where anyone can come help analyze the data and get some clarity on what is important to people about the process. We will use this info to develop a focus question, and narrow down the methods we might use. Step 3: The Visioning and Planning working group will develop a proposal for the the process based on the outcomes of Step 2. We will share it around for feedback and then present it to the delegates meeting for approval. Step 4: Carry out the approved plan. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please send an email, ask us in person, or come to our meeting. The next one is not scheduled but will be announced on this list. Love, Laura, Niki, Nick O, Kevin, Amgo, David K _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [sudo-discuss] An Invitation to Robotics Day at Chabot Space and Science Center

by Jake

Diane contacted me and asked to confirm that we'll be there, and whether we'll be bringing the 3d printer or not. The event is saturday and sunday. Is anyone down to do one or both of these days? I can show up in the afternoon but i can't make it at 11AM on either day. Who will bottomline these two days? They will provide a table and outlet and of course, internet. and a sign that says "Sudoroom" -jake On Thu, 12 Feb 2015, Diane Strand wrote: > Thanks Jake!

E-waste in trash room

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I'm not sure who left all the electronics trash in the trash room, but in matter such as these, my eye turns towards Sudo... Please know that E-Waste does NOT GO IN THE REGULAR TRASH! In fact, it is ILLEGAL to dump electronics with regular trash in California, and we can be fined for doing so. E-Waste is terrible for the environment, and needs to be recycled separately. So don't just toss a bunch of junk in the trash room and expect someone else to deal with it! I would strongly recommend that Sudo sets up an e-Waste recycling container somewhere (maybe with a smaller container on the side for batteries) and then organizes a dropoff whenever it starts filling up. (Also a good place to scavenge for interesting parts for reuse, naturally!) The oakland wiki lists a number of places that will recycle or reuse electronics waste, including cell phones, appliances, and batteries of all sorts: https://localwiki.org/oakland/E-Waste_Recycling Patrik

[Noisebridge-announce] Cyberspectrum: Software Defined Radio Meetup (Wed 25th Feb) 7:00pm (fwd)

by Jake

SDR's are super cool, $12 usb sticks (including shipping and antenna) that can receive almost any frequency and let your computer demodulate what's there based on free software. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 13:43:41 -0800 From: Balint Seeber <balint256(a)gmail.com> To: noisebridge-announce(a)lists.noisebridge.net Subject: [Noisebridge-announce] Cyberspectrum: Software Defined Radio Meetup (Wed 25th Feb) 7:00pm Hi all, Announcing the second Cyberspectrum meetup in San Francisco! We'll try to get started at around 7:00pm in the Hackatorium, and for those unable to attend we'll set up a live stream like last time (stay tuned to the event's page/Twitter for more info closer to the time). There's also IRC: #cyberspectrum on Freenode. Full details, including the speaker lineup/topics, are here: http://www.meetup.com/Cyberspectrum/events/220011639/ And the Noisebridge event page is here: https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Cyberspectrum This time we'll be hearing about: * Building a Doppler RADAR with cantennas and SDR * Using MultiPSK to analyse all manner of interesting signals * Wardriving with SDR in the age of the Internet of Things If you're not familiar with Cyberspectrum: "The Bay Area SDR Meetup will serve as a forum to exchange knowledge and ideas related to Software Defined Radio (the software and hardware), and generally aim to get people excited about all the applications that can be realised with the technology. At each meetup, attendees will have the opportunity to present their work/ideas to the group. Engineers, enthusiasts, hobbyists and people of all experience levels are welcome, no matter what your software/hardware background. Everyone is welcome to submit their ideas/presentations to the pool." Hope to see you there, Balint @spenchdotnet

Fwd: [DIYbio] biononymous.me launch

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Heather Dewey-Hagborg <stigmergy(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 7:27 PM Subject: [DIYbio] biononymous.me launch To: diybio(a)googlegroups.com Just a quick note about a new project I am launching, perhaps some of you might be interested in getting involved? (And some of you may be already). It's a new community hub for research and discussion of biological surveillance, which I am tentatively defining as "the means by which biological science is used to track, monitor, analyze, and turn bodies into data.” DNA, biometrics, microbes, all the ways physical bodies become subjects of surveillance. http://biononymous.me/ Check it out, let me know what you think and if you would like to participate! -Heather -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups DIYbio group.

Climbing or sailing rope?

by Marc Juul

Today's mesh node mount is on a slanted roof. We're able to borrow a safety harness, but we're in need of rope strong enough to stop a falling human. Do you have any and can we borrow it today (noon to 4 pm) ? -- marc/juul
