Re: [sudo-discuss] A computer Rock Paper Scissors Collective?

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

How's a laptop? Or is a desktop preferred? // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Max Klein" <isalix(a)gmail.com> To: <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] A computer Rock Paper Scissors Collective? Date: Thu, Mar 28, 2013 6:59 PM I am hanging out and volunteering at Rock Paper Scissors Collective right now. They need a new computer for the gallery. We could easily assemble one from our spare parts graveyard, but I perhaps someone has a more complete better alternative? They will trade some of their comparative advantage for it, they say. Max

We're solvent...

by Tommy York

We may be having issues with the listserv - Matt said he emailed out information about the balance at the Community Bank of the Bay, but I've yet to see the email - but we're solvent, we have about $2200 in e account and need to pay out $1750 in fixed expenses. Note that we fall below the $500 minimum in doing so, something I intend to fix for next month.

Homepage hacking

by Vicky Knox

Ken makes some really good points as to the practical importance of creating a user-friendly and attractive web presence for Noisebridge. This topic/event may be of interest not only to people who want to help out Noisebridge, but people interested in working on sudoroom dot org and the wiki. If you ever need wiki help, I am available. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ken M. Haggerty <kenmhaggerty(a)gmail.com> Date: 2013/3/28 Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] [8:00pm in Turing] Noisebridge Homepage Hacking! Web development! To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net *Interested in ...* • Making it *easier* to *donate* to Noisebridge?! • *Web* development? • A more *usable* and *attractive* homepage for Noisebridge? *NOISEBRIDGE HOMEPAGE HACKING!* Stop by at *8:00p**m** tonight* in *Turing* (classroom) if interested in helping or providing feedback Ken Haggerty is organizing :D I will bring some cookies? Oreos? * * * * * A group of us will begin hacking out an alternative homepage design, and * IFF* enough people like it, we can use it on Noisebridge.net. (DON'T WORRY, the wiki **isn't** going anywhere. ...also, if it sucks, it'll just be good web-dev practice) But *why*, you ask, should Noisebridge have a new homepage, when our current one is perfectly fine? • A wiki is pretty *intimidating* to look at if you are not already a technically-oriented person. • Noisebridge is awesome because it's *welcoming* to everyone, and our homepage should welcome all hackers, from our computer scientists to our architects, fashion, and food hackers! • A clear and clean homepage will make it easier to *solicit donations* to keep Noisebridge running! (where is the donate button??) • A better homepage with a clear message can *attract non-members* who are interested in learning more about Noisebridge. This is the same time/place as the usual weekly Frontend Web Development lab, so others present will also be working on other cool things too. Cool beans, show up or shoot me a message at kenmhaggerty(a)gmail.com if interested, -Ken _______________________________________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss

Re: [sudo-discuss] Find 3D printers near you

by hol＠gaskill.com

So from below I read $0.25/cm3 material cost Based on rough properties i get these: @ 1.25g/cm3*($40/1000g filament) = 5 cents/cm3 material cost @ 1.25g/cm3*((180C-20C)*2J/gK*$.2/kWh*0.00027kWh/J) = 1.7 cents/cm3 heating energy cost...maybe we should try printing through a kill-a-watt to see how it adds up with motors, controller, PC too if we want the whole energy component of unit cost. So the big question is really of labor, of who is going to do the manifold checking, slicing, setup, babysitting while it prints, and verification of the complete part, and how much is their time worth. Volunteers? Do we put that responsibility on the customer and offer accordingly lower prices? If we go with that model, how do we foolproof the interface for the machines? If there's interest, we could put together a proposal for crowdfunding a bank of 3D printers and staffing the operation. This isn't the first time it's been brought up so maybe it's worth taking a closer look. For metal, it's $8/cm3 +$6 handling at shapeways (http://www.shapeways.com/materials/steel)...anyone interested in joining that 3D printed rocket engine design competition? :) Mar 15, 2013 09:50:47 AM, drorex(a)gmail.com wrote: Just a note, I recently "reverse engineered" their pricing uploaded several objects of a known size and put their prices into a spreadsheet), they dont actually tell you how they calculate it. It's: >$6 + $0.25/cm^3, with a minimum price of $9.50 -- so it's definitely to your advantage to combine multiple parts into a single upload. > > On Fri, Mar 15, 2013 at 9:31 AM, Adam Stiles adam.d.stiles(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > For some reason it doesn't rank the printers by proximity -- there are actually many in SF and Oakland that don't appear on Page 1, so click through ... and maybe list the sudoroom printer to make a few bucks on the side?

Sudo room should be about creating

by Romy Ilano

I like that statement made last week It's not interesting to be constantly promoting products from private companies I mean you can be polite about it and appreciate the love but you are all right: what's the point of a creative space if the members ideas are getting hijacked to do free pr for companies with business plans ? Why buy food from local take out? Isn't it better to make your own food? --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com

More ideas on solvency, this time from Noisebridge...

by Tommy York

Who seems to be having a somewhat similar problem in this bleak, bleak month of March (there's a lot of interesting information about their scale and reserves here): https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-March/035494… You know what? I too am more than willing to bike around in the next couple of days, collecting donations if you can't make tonight or any evening later this week. I'm not working until Monday. Send me an email and I'll figure something out. I love exercise anyway. ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork
