We really need to put pressure on these F*!&^#(&-ing A*!&^#(&-holes at the Boy Scouts of America. They really do not seem to care about the world we all inhabit, and need to be put in their place. MAKE, Sparkfun, Adafruit are into pressuring the BSA. If we can get a bunch of hackerspaces to do the same, we will make an impact. "no matter what happens, how we all react to a group like the BSA will define "us" fighting and losing is ok, but i think you need to fight it all the way… think of a world where there are hacker scouts, learning sharing and it would all start with a shared victory together over an old oppressive scared group trying to get in the way of the future." -- Phil Torrone, of Adafruit Here are just a few places to add some well-placed comments: >>>>>> Boy Scouts Google+ page: >>>>>> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+BoyScoutsofAmerica/posts >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy Scouts Facebook page: >>>>>> https://www.facebook.com/pages/Boy-Scouts-of-America/113441755297 >>>>>> >>>>>> Bot Scouts on Twitter: >>>>>> https://twitter.com/boyscouts >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy Scouts on YouTube: >>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/bsa100years >>>>>> >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> PR(a)scouting.org >>>>>> >>>>>> The official publication for the adult volunteers site: >>>>>> http://blog.scoutingmagazine.org >>>>>> >>>>>> On Twitter: >>>>>> http://www.twitter.com/scouting >>>>>> >>>>>> On Facebook: >>>>>> http://www.facebook.com/scoutingmagazine >>>>>> >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> scoutingmag(a)gmail.com >>>>>> >>>>>> Boy's Life Magazine: >>>>>> http://boyslife.org/ >>>>>> >>>>>> On Twitter: >>>>>> https://twitter.com/BoysLife >>>>>> Email: >>>>>> boyslife.mag(a)scouting.org Best, Mitch.

Fwd: Course for the Fall: i290M- Open Collaboration and Peer Production

by Matthew Senate

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastian Benthall <sbenthall(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 11:37 AM Subject: Course for the Fall: i290M- Open Collaboration and Peer Production To: oa-team(a)lists.berkeley.edu, open-it(a)lists.berkeley.edu Cc: D-Lab Team <dlab-team(a)lists.berkeley.edu>, Aaron Culich < aculich(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Hi all, Just wanted to circulate this course announcement for what we'll be teaching this Fall. Note the section at the end where we are encouraging people working on open projects to contact us so we can direct students towards them. Please forward widely. Thanks -- Seb *i290M Fall 2013 : Open Collaboration and Peer Production* *Instructors : Sebastian Benthall, Thomas Maillart and John Chuang* *Class : F 11am-1pm in South Hall 210* *Lab : T 1-2pm in South Hall 202 and on Internet Relay Chat (IRC)* http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i290m-ocpp/site/information.html *Course Description : *This course is a hands-on exploration of the theory and practice of open online collaboration. Students will engage multi-disciplinary literature about collaboration while contributing to an existing open project (such as open source software, Wikipedia, or OpenStreetMap). Readings will explore business models for open source software organizations, incentives of cooperation and organization design for open source projects. Practical work will be organized around themes of project management infrastructure, community self-governance, and engineering education through open source participation. The goal of the class is to engage students in an existing open source community while developing functionality and expertise that can be part of iSchool Masters projects, faculty-directed research, and beyond. *Prerequisites* : Programming skills are not a prerequisite, but programmers are more than welcome to join. Students will come to the first lecture with an idea of the open project they want to contribute to, and which problem they want to address. If possible, a first contact with the community active in the project should already be established. *UC Berkeley Open Source Projects Promotion * This class promotes contributions by students to UC Berkeley Open Source Projects. Feel free to contact us at sb(a)ischool.berkeley.edu to explain your progress so we can match students with it.

sudo mate gear

by Marc Juul

I have been told that one or more of the people currently running sudo mate have removed mate-brewing gear from sudo room and are apparently brewing at another location. This seems like something that should have been brought up with the group, or at least been announced to the mailing list. (Perhaps it was and I just missed the email?) There are now a few issues: 1. No-one else can now brew mate at sudo room. 2. Some of that gear was purchased by and for the beer brewing group, which made the last bottling session problematic. 3. I don't know the contact info for anyone who knows about this. Who-ever moved the gear: We love you for brewing delicious sudo mate for sudo room, but please reply to this email and update the sudo mate wiki page! -- Marc Juul

TIL Fixit Clinic Questions?

by Steve Berl

Hello, The Fixit Clinic is going to do a TIL on August 24, and I have a few questions: - Will the common room be available for us to expand into if there are more people than comfortably fit in the sudoroom? - Is anyone with knowledge of the 3D printer planning to be there? At a recent Fixit Clinic in Boulder, CO someone was able to fix a broken blender by 3D printing a part "while you wait". I think that is incredibly cool, and would hope that if an opportunity presented itself to do this here, it would be fun, but I don't know anything about running the printer, the modeling software, etc. Thanks, and see you next Saturday. -- -steve
