hi everyone, we had a totally different kind of meeting tonight! it was simultaneous with dinner, with all of us loosely sitting and/or standing around the table, with informal facilitation, a rarely consulted agenda with a final check over the agenda to fill in notes and see if we missed any items. unfortunately, we still didn't have the financials included in the meeting, and a few things had not been followed up on from last time, but that's okay. we're getting better ;) so here are the rough rough notes!: *Check out the Meeting archives here: ** https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Minutes*<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Minutes> ''June 19 2013 Attending: [List Attendees] Len, Jenny, Max, Jordan, Bill, Ray, Timon, Marina, Jamie, Alex, Morten, Troy, Sarah, Sam *==Introductions==* ''*Let's get to know each other!*'' Co-Facilitator: [List Co-Facilitator] * Introduction to purpose and format of this meeting *Brief personal intros (< 20 sec per person)* * [Go-around topic] performed 1/3 of the way in once we had a lot of people and enough people who didn't already know each other. *Icebreaker (10 min)* * [Pair/small group discussion on a topic.] eating dinner. *==Announcements (Consent Agenda)==* *''Use this section to briefly announce and consent to items that need no more details or discussion''* Co-Facilitator: [List Co-Facilitator] (< 8 minutes) performed haphazardly throughout the night! :( :\ - This Sat/Sun: Workshop Weekend! workshopweekend.net - Patrick - clay.

Re: [sudo-discuss] state of the room

Any objections to putting that unassembled rack shelving up to the right of the milliscope? I see a pretty wicked arcade box coming together too...good to be back. Hol, will you be around later today? I have a lot of ideas for use of the space and would like to collaborate with you on it. I haven't been around the past couple weeks because of transportation issues (lost my car) but will try my best to make it there today. In particular, Romy and I bought that 5-shelf heavy duty set for the closet. It is meant to be the first of several such units (this one being only a test). My vision is that after we assemble a few of those in the far corner of the closet (to the left of the radio room) all the crap can go on those, and then in the newly cleared space we can stack those grey metal boxes as lockers - the ones I originally wanted to bolt to the wall. All we need to do is replace the locks on those! They are big but I figure people can share them for a flat rate per box. I'm less enthusiastic about having shelving out in the common area. I think we should try to better use the vertical space in the closet and let the common area be nice, clean working and meeting spaces.

Re: [sudo-discuss] ATTENTION -- MUST READ

by johanna faust

i was not witness, GtwoG was: as i understand it a man was fiddling with the keypad trying to get in, looked up and was hastened off by the camera -- which G was happy was there to get his face -- --which it was not, as it had again been unplugged, because there are two usb slots and three items that have to go in them, and I am told a USB hub would lead to conflicts. so the keypad and RFID win, and we have no camera over the keypad, which means ppl just get buzzed in OR the door gets propped open.* which has to stop.* On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 7:40 AM, Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Johanna, > > I didn't know that something happened on Saturday.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: Another American High Frontier First: 3-D Manufacturing in Space

by Hol Gaskill

makes alot more sense than pulling barstock around! glad to see we're moving forward on this with an ISS demo - i think the second prospective space mining company DSI pins their whole business model on 3D printing the parts close to the ore.

ATTENTION -- MUST READ

OK point taken. New top priority for tomorrow AM is to troubleshoot the keypad. Can you please use less red, CAPS and smaller text size next time. My adrenal glans can only take so much.

Maui Makers - B9creator

by rusty lindgren

Hey everyone, While I was in Maui I thought I would check out the only hacker/maker space, so I caught up with Jerry Isdale of Maui Makers yesterday, and helped assemble the B9creator 3d printer. Maui Makers just lost their location, so I drove out to Haiku, where all the gear is now. Haiku is close to the East side of the Island, and it's more remote, rainy and generally beautiful like the rest of the island. In Haiku, they had some really cool tools, like a laser cutter. I have a decent picture of a cool LED backlit wood box that Tony and Jerry built with a laser cutter. It was actually really not too hard to do(although, I mostly just took pictures). The directions are kind of like lego directions, you get pdfs for different components, there are some written explanations with pictures, and then a final assembly doc,...all and all, the design plans were clear and straight-forward and all lego-like. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any printing, because the printing solution didn't come with the printer. So, If you do get one of those printers you need to order the printing solution. With the printing solution, the whole set-up is about 1300 bucks. It's a bit on the pricey side for a modest 3d printer, but it looks pretty high-quality when you unpack everything. The parts were solid in my hand and it includes a projector, so it doesn't seem overpriced. Anyway, I'll send those images around when I get back... I might stay a bit longer, but I haven't told my boss that yet ;) Heh, boss... what a weird word. I don't think they have that out here... very mellow. Cheers, Rusty **
