These days GA is perhaps a dozen folks, mostly dotards like me, unfortunately predominantly cursed with a Y chromosome. We almost never riot and torch the town these days, mostly just rehash the previous weeks' political actions and plan the next weeks' protests against the evil empire. These days our main focus is labor & debtor solidarity, anti-repression organizing (e.g. police brutality and surveillance), and attempts to protect the commons & the environment. > > Also, we would like to participate in the crypto-parties next Sunday and in January.

I'd be honored to have occupy as our guests! Careful though, you might run into some trans folks and biohackers, neither of whom you want to make offhand comments about chromosomes to.

Fwd: Zazzle SudoRoom shirts

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I'd like to use Zazzle as a testing lab for upcoming SudoRoom t-shirts. I don't think sudoroom should stay on zazzle long term but it's a good area for experimentation and iteration. Here are some current offerings: http://www.zazzle.com/sudoroom_hacker_cats-235058901626923953 http://www.zazzle.com/sudoroom_poster-228896454693130140

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Charging for Lockers

by Romy Ilano

It's nice to know that SudoRoom (www.sudoroom.org) in Oakland, our sister hackerspace, has instituted lockers. we could ask them for any learnings, fails, etc. Hey SudoRoom - how have your lockers been going? Anything that works or doesn't work for you?

Maker/tinkerer parts

by Gideon Weisberg (gweisberg＠riekes.org)

Hello, I was asked to post this message about a bunch of possible parts here by a member. Let me know if anyone finds this useful. My name is Gideon Weisberg, and work I with the non-profit Riekes Center in Menlo Park (mentoring in sports, fitness, the arts, music, and nature awareness). Years ago (10?) we were given a Bod-Pod to allow the fitness department to offer a (then) state-of-the-art body assessment system to low-income students, as well as the other athletes who train at our center. While at the time this version of the Bod-Pod system ran about $50,000, it is now obsolete. It likely has lots of useful parts for a tinkering lab. I am looking for ways to find a new home for the system, and am especially interested in helping any useful parts find their way into innovative reuse or educational programs (or at least becomes somebody's weird furniture/studio prop). Any proceeds from selling this system will go directly into our programs (the first $750 I can raise will be buying new tires for our passenger van). The Bod Pod (with it's computer station, manual, and calibration/maintenance records) can be delivered within the Bay Area. I am open to thoughts and suggestions regarding the ultimate fate of this devise. I don't want it to go in a land-fill. Thank you for your consideration, Gideon Weisberg gweisberg(a)riekes.org Coordinating Naturalist The Riekes Center www.riekes.org
