Hi,
Reaching out because I saw you have a company / organization related to 3D
printing, makers, etc.
Wanted to let you know about the newly launched 3D Printing Ecosystem map
<http://www.inside3dp.com/global-3dprinting-map/>. Would love for you to
add your place to the map (simply click add your company in top right of the
map <http://www.inside3dp.com/global-3dprinting-map/>.)
Let me know if you have any questions.

At tonight's weekly Sudoroom meeting, we had a long conversation
brainstorming new ways to arrange the space. A lot of it hinges on
uncertainty about the robot arm. A while back we agreed it would move
against the west wall, but it hasn't happened yet. What are the
current plans for the robot? What needs to happen for it to move? How
can people help? Thanks!
Hi friends,
So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more
people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the
needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom.
Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make
an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in
joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week!
It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other
community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit
from learning what you all know.
For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the
activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and
would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on
robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay
Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll
show up :)
Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where
to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help.
Ever upward,
April
A PARCEL CONTAINING 16 POUNDS OF NFC RFID WRISTBANDS WAS SHIPPED TO THE
OMNI A WEEK OR TWO AGO. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO NIC WEIDINGER BUT IS INTENDED
FOR SUDOROOM HACKING.
I HAVE NOT SEEN IT NOR HEARD MENTION OF IT, SO I AM GUESSING IT IS SITTING
IN THE OMNI NEAR THE FRONT DOOR SOMEWHERE SINCE NOBODY KNEW WHERE TO PUT
IT. IF YOU FIND IT, OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF IT, PLEASE WRITE BACK.
<S>THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE USED FOR PERMANENTLY IDENTIFYING COLLECTIVE
MEMBERS AND WILL BE NECESSARY TO OPEN DOORS AND BATHROOM STALLS. YOUR
RFID WRISTBAND WILL BE LINKED TO YOUR WIKI PAGE AND PRIVILEGE KEYBASE.</S>
THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE FOR ALL KINDS OF FUN EXPERIMENTATION AND GENERAL
RFID HACKING, AND CAN BE READ BY MOST MODERN PHONES. THEY HAVE
USER-WRITABLE DATA SPACE IN THEM AND THE POSSIBLITIES ARE LIMITLESS.
WHERE ARE THEY?

P.S. TODAY IS CAPS-LOCK DAY.
Hello,
David and Alice have found a way to get us a free replacement compressor for the walk-in freezer at omni. But the way involves manual labor and we need your help. We have to help remove the replacement compressor and the entire walk-in that it is currently attached to from a bar in San Francisco. David, Joe, and I helped Alice with it today. It will require at least 4 more hours of work. If you are available to help tomorrow (the 23rd), please let us know. Sorry this is so last minute, but we do need your help.
Thanks,
Ben

we got the embroidery machine working!!! it's totally awesome.
tl;dr we need needles! who will order this ebay item?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-MEISTERGRAM-INDUSTRIAL-EMBROIDERY-MACHINE-NEEDLE…
it takes a little coordination though, because it's an industrial sewing
machine with a clutch pedal to engage the motor - and it's very powerful.
So it will sew very rapidly and you have to steer the needle around the
pattern at a rate matching the sewing rate.
it's kindof like driving a ferrari in that way.
anyway, it came with a single needle and it is broken now. We need more
needles!!! we have plenty of everything else.
it uses weird needles - they are the normal length (1.5") but their upper
shank is 1/16" diameter which is smaller than standard sewing machine
needles.
http://www.sewingmantra.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sewing-machine-needl…
the machine is a Meistergram model M'100 and it uses the same needles as
the M700 / M800 like the ones in the ebay item are for.
if you order these needles, write to the list so we don't end up with 50,
although i'm sure we'll need them if we use it enough.
