::''This will be the 8th Noisebridge Hacker Trip To China.'' 
::'''''(Though the start and end dates are now set, and the start and end cities are now set, the rest of the itinerary is only an outline and open to change.)'''''
 
::''In previous years' Hacker Trips To China, we've visited cities that currently have a hackerspace, visited my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We also visited Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and other schools -- all of which have now started hackerspaces. China continues to explode with hackerspaces! We also went to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. We've also gone to Maker Faires and similar events in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. And everywhere we went, we were shown around by local geeks, to see what they thought was interesting where they live.''

::''Wherever we went, those of us interested gave talks, presentations, workshops, and demos. In 2017 we gave presentations at: Maker Bay and Dim Sum Labs in Hong Kong; at HAX, x.Factory, and Lab0x0 in Shenzhen; at Niba Makerspace and for the mayor of Xi'an in Xi'an; at Tsinghua University's iCenter and Beijing LUG in Beijing, and at DFRobot (an open hardware company in Shanghai), Mushroom Cloud, and XinCheJian hackerspcae in Shanghai.''

== This year's Hacker Trip To China ==
'''When: 3-Nov in Beijing''' 
                  through 
            '''23-Nov in Shenzhen'''.

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': It is up to each person to book your own air fare to meet in our starting city, Beijing, on 3-November (which probably means leaving your home on 2-November), and to fly home from our ending city, Shenzhen, on 23-November. ''(Of course, you can decide to come before or after our start date, and leave before or after our end date -- you are free to come and go as you please -- some of us will spend a few days in Hong Kong after Shenzhen.)'' 

I'll organized the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I'll pay in advance for some of this, and you can pay me back when we're in China. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we will go to, we'll visit some of their local hackerspace(s), and will be shown around by local geeks to see what interests them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" (and spectacular) tourist things too! 

'''NOTE THAT THE INFO BELOW IS ONLY A BRIEF POSSIBLE OUTLINE:''' 
'''Here's some possible places we might visit, leaving plenty of room for the serendipity that makes our Hacker Trip To China truly unique and memorable:''' 
* We will start our trip by meeting in '''Beijing''' where we may visit [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Makerspace], and other hackerspaces. We'll also visit Tsinghua University, where they built the "world's largest hackerspace" in 2015 (called the "iCenter"), and where I've been hacker in residence. Beijing has lots and lots of way amazing stuff to visit and be a part of!
* We will probably next go to '''Xi'an''', where we will be shown some of the extensive activity to encourage "innovation" there. We can give presentations at [http://www.nibaspace.com/index/ Niba Makerspace], where lots of way cool and interesting things are happening. Our hosts will also show us lots of local arts and cultural activities, as well as give us a tour of the 10,000 Terracotta Warriors.
* We may go to '''Chengdu''' from there, home of the panda bears, as well as another new Chinese "innovation" hub.
* We may then visit '''Shanghai'''. In Shanghai we will visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I have used for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we will all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We will also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai, the coolest hackerspace in all of China. We can also visit companies started by hardware hacker geeks, such as [http://www.dfrobot.com/ DFRobot]. We can also visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall] (a smaller version of the famous electronics mall we will later visit in Shenzhen).
* We'll finish our Trip in '''Shenzhen''', where we can visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace], [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspace, and a few other hackerspaces, some of which are real, and hundreds of which are new over-the-top bizarre government-started places where they want to create "the next Apple" (we won't visit them all!). We can visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/xfactory/ x.factory] while we are in town, an interesting mix of hackerspace and incubator, where we can organize a Bring-A-Hack event, where anyone of us (for those who want to), along with the general public, can show off our projects. We will also visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio] - the open source hardware company - to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities. We may meet with the founders of [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes] - another open source hardware company. We'll also visit other manufacturers, to see where all the things we use in our daily lives come from (such as springs, cables, PCBs, packaging, etc., etc.). We can also visit [http://www.dorabot.com/ Dorabot], a Chinese robotics company comprised of people in the Shenzhen hackerspace scene. We may also visit [https://hax.co/ HAX], the first and biggest hardware accelerator (and where I'm a mentor) -- those who wanted to gave presentations at HAX last year. Of course, we'll also visit the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen (where, we may again be shown around by famous hackers who really know the place well). If the timing works out, we will go to the [http://www.shenzhenmakerfaire.com/ Shenzhen Maker Faire]. 

For most of us, our trip will end at the end of three weeks, as many people on our trip will fly home from our last city, Shenzhen, on 23-November. But, since '''Hong Kong''' is just over the border from mainland China, some of us will go there to fly home (since it is cheaper, and since Hong Kong is a way cool city).

''Of course, everyone is free to arrive and leave whenever you like for the Hacker Trip To China. 

'''Cost:''' For the Hacker Trip To China 2017, I paid $2,656 total (for 4 weeks, since I stayed longer than the Trip), including air fare from SF, food, lodging, transportation, a new smart phone, a bunch of new clothing, and everything. 
''As in past years, part of this year's trip may be paid for by Tsinghua University, our hosts in Xi'an, and other hosts that invite us to give presentations.''

== You will Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China, you needed to get a visa!

Everyone should get a multiple-entry Tourist L visa (if you only get a single-entry visa, you'll be fine, but you won't have as many options, such as going in and out of Shenzhen to Hong Kong).

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 12 months after you planned to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 23-November-2018, then your passport needs to be valid through 22-November-2019). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China]. (If you like, please email me, and I can reply with my filled out visa form from 2015, so you have an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most recent Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you when I have this).
** a copy of your airline tickets (both to and from China).

* For US citizens, the visa cost $140 (but it is much cheaper for other nationalities). Starting in 2015, US citizens can get a multiple-entry visa, good for 10 years (even though there is no option for this on the visa form). We should all apply for a Tourist L visa.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate. No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is available for $20 or $30.) 
''NOTE: The Chinese consulates are all closed for Chinese holidays! Please check the dates! For 2018 these dates are: 1-January, 15-January, 15-16 February, 28-May, 19-June, 4-July, 3-September, 1-October, 8-October, 12-November, 22-23 November, and 24-25-December: 
[https://www.travelchinaguide.com/embassy/us/sanfrancisco.htm 2018 San Francisco Chinese Consulate Holiday Schedule]''
 
(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

::'''''(The dates are set, the start and end cities are set, but the itinerary is an outline and open to change.)'''''
::''In previous years' Hacker Trip To China, we've visited cities that currently have a hackerspace, visited my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We also visited Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and other schools -- all of which have now starting hackerspaces. China continues to explode with hackerspaces! We also went to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we went, we were shown around by local geeks, to see what they thought was interesting where they live. Also, wherever we went, those of us interested gave talks, presentations, workshops, and demos. In 2016 we gave presentations at NY University - Shanghai, DFRobot (an open hardware company in Shanghai), Shanghai Maker Carnival, Zhengzhou High School Number 2, "Second Generation and Start-ups" conference in Hangzhou.''

== This year's Hacker Trip To China ==
'''When:''' 8-October-2017 in Hong Kong through 28-October-2017 in Shanghai.

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We were each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in our starting city, Hong Kong, on 8-October, and fly home from out ending city, Shanghai, on 28-October. Of course, you can decide to come and go as you please. 

I'll organized the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I'll pay in advance for some of this, and you can pay me back when we're in China. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we will go to, we'll visit some of their local hackerspace(s), and will be shown around by local geeks to see what interested them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" (and spectacular) tourist things too! 

'''Here's some possible places we might visit, leaving plenty of room for the serendipity that makes our Hacker Trip To China truly unique and memorable:''' 
* We will start our trip by meeting in '''Hong Kong''' and visit [http://www.dimsumlabs.com/ Dim Sum Labs] hackerspace. Hong Kong is a fantastic city, so, we'll also see lots of other cool stuff in Hong Kong. 
* Then we'll go across the border to mainland China again, to '''Shenzhen''' to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace], [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspace, [http://litchee.cn/en/ Litchee Lab], and a few other hackerspaces, some of which are real, and hundreds of which are brand new (this year) over-the-top bizarre government-started places where they want to create "the next Apple" (we won't visit them all!). We'll visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/xfactory/ x.factory] while we are in town, an interesting mix of hackerspace and incubator, where we will be welcomed for a Bring-A-Hack event, where anyone of us (for those who want to), along with the general public, can show off their projects. We will also visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio] - the open source hardware company - to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities. We may meet with the founders of [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes] - another open source hardware company. We'll also visit other manufacturers, to see where all the things we use in our daily lives come from (such as springs, cables, PCBs, packaging, etc., etc.). We can also visit Dorabot, a Chinese robotics company comprised of people in the Shenzhen hackerspace scene. Of course, we'll also visit the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen (where, we may again be shown around by a professional buyer from Deal Extreme (dx.com). And if uhgall@gmail.com happens to be in town, we might visit [http://www.constellation.ws/ Constellation] or even stay in their factory dorm. 
* We will then make our way to '''Beijing''' where we may visit [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Makerspace], and other hackerspaces. We'll also visit Tsinghua University, where they built the world's largest hackerspace last year (called the "iCenter"), and where I've been hacker in residence. Beijing has lots and lots of way amazing stuff to visit and be a part of!
* Our last city will be '''Shanghai'''. In Shanghai we will visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I have used for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we will all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We will also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai. We can also visit companies started by hardware hacker geeks, such as [http://www.dfrobot.com/ DFRobot]. We can visit Phicomm, a medium-sized OEM manufacturer. We can also visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall] (a smaller version of the famous electronics mall we will later visit in Shenzhen).

For most of us, our trip will end at the end of three weeks, as many people on our trip will fly home from our last city, Shanghai, on 28-October-2017.

''Of course, everyone is free to arrive and leave whenever you like for the Hacker Trip To China. 
I will tentatively be flying home from Shanghai 28-October. ''

'''Cost:''' For the Hacker Trip To China 2016, I paid $1,997 total (for 4 weeks), including air fare from SF, food, lodging, transportation, and everything -- including some electronics stuff and some clothing that I bought. 
''As in past years, part of this year's trip may be paid for by Tsinghua University and other places that invite us to give presentations.''

== Possible itinerary outline for Hacker Trip to China 7 ==

'''The start and end dates are set, the start and end cities are set, but the rest of the itinerary is open to serendipity:'''
''7-October-2017 -- '''Leave home''' for '''Hong Kong''' (arrive in Hong Kong on 8-October)''
''8-October-2017 -- We all meet in '''Hong Kong''' -- hotel: to be determined
'''8-October to 11-October -- Hong Kong'''
'''11-October to 16-October -- Shenzhen'''
13-October: tour of factories
15-October, 4pm-6pm: Chaihuo x.factory Bring-A-Hack
'''16-October to 19-October -- Xi'an'''
'''19-October to 24-October -- Beijing'''
'''24-October to 28-October -- Shanghai''' ''
''28-October-2017 -- '''fly home''' (arrive NA or EU on same day)''

== You will Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China, you needed to get a visa!

Everyone should get a multiple-entry Tourist L visa (if you only get a single-entry visa, you'll be fine, but you won't have as many options, such as going in and out of Shenzhen to Hong Kong).

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 12 months after you planned to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 28-October-2017, then your passport needs to be valid through 27-October-2017). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (after we have everything we need I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you when I have this).
** a copy of your airline tickets (both to and from China).

* For US citizens, the visa cost $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). Starting this year, US citizens can get a multiple-entry visa, good for 10 years. We should all apply for a Tourist L visa.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate. No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is available for $20 or $30.) 
''NOTE: The Chinese consulates are all closed for holidays on: 27-30 January, 29-30 May, 30-May, 9-June, 4-July, 4-September, 2-October, 9-October and other dates: 
[http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/eng/lszj/t1424287.htm 2017 Chinese Consulate Holiday Schedule]''
 
(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

== Previous Hacker Trips To China ==
::''This will be the 7th Noisebridge Hacker Trip To China.'' 
::'''''(The dates are set, the start and end cities are set, but the itinerary is an outline and open to change.)'''''
::''In previous years' Hacker Trip To China, we've visited cities that currently have a hackerspace, visited my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We also visited Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and other schools -- all of which have now starting hackerspaces. China continues to explode with hackerspaces! We also went to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we went, we were shown around by local geeks, to see what they thought was interesting where they live. Also, wherever we went, those of us interested gave talks, presentations, workshops, and demos. In 2016 we gave presentations at NY University - Shanghai, DFRobot (an open hardware company in Shanghai), Shanghai Maker Carnival, Zhengzhou High School Number 2, "Second Generation and Start-ups" conference in Hangzhou.''

== This year's Hacker Trip To China ==
'''When:''' 8-October-2017 in Hong Kong through 28-October-2017 in Shanghai.

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We were each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in our starting city, Hong Kong, on 8-October, and fly home from out ending city, Shanghai, on 28-October. Of course, you can decide to come and go as you please. 

I'll organized the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I'll pay in advance for some of this, and you can pay me back when we're in China. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we will go to, we'll visit some of their local hackerspace(s), and will be shown around by local geeks to see what interested them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" (and spectacular) tourist things too! 

'''Here's some possible places we might visit, leaving plenty of room for the serendipity that makes our Hacker Trip To China truly unique and memorable:''' 
* We will start our trip by meeting in '''Hong Kong''' and visit [http://www.dimsumlabs.com/ Dim Sum Labs] hackerspace. Hong Kong is a fantastic city, so, we'll also see lots of other cool stuff in Hong Kong. 
* Then we'll go across the border to mainland China again, to '''Shenzhen''' to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace], [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspace, [http://litchee.cn/en/ Litchee Lab], and a few other hackerspaces, some of which are real, and hundreds of which are brand new (this year) over-the-top bizarre government-started places where they want to create "the next Apple" (we won't visit them all!). We'll visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/xfactory/ x.factory] while we are in town, an interesting mix of hackerspace and incubator, where we will be welcomed for a Bring-A-Hack event, where anyone of us (for those who want to), along with the general public, can show off their projects. We will also visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio] - the open source hardware company - to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities. We may meet with the founders of [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes] - another open source hardware company. We'll also visit other manufacturers, to see where all the things we use in our daily lives come from (such as springs, cables, PCBs, packaging, etc., etc.). We can also visit Dorabot, a Chinese robotics company comprised of people in the Shenzhen hackerspace scene. Of course, we'll also visit the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen (where, we may again be shown around by a professional buyer from Deal Extreme (dx.com). And if uhgall@gmail.com happens to be in town, we might visit [http://www.constellation.ws/ Constellation] or even stay in their factory dorm. 
* We will then make our way to '''Beijing''' where we may visit [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Makerspace], and other hackerspaces. We'll also visit Tsinghua University, where they built the world's largest hackerspace last year (called the "iCenter"), and where I've been hacker in residence. Beijing has lots and lots of way amazing stuff to visit and be a part of!
* Our last city will be '''Shanghai'''. In Shanghai we will visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I have used for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we will all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We will also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai. We can also visit companies started by hardware hacker geeks, such as [http://www.dfrobot.com/ DFRobot]. We can visit Phicomm, a medium-sized OEM manufacturer. We can also visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall] (a smaller version of the famous electronics mall we will later visit in Shenzhen).

For most of us, our trip will end at the end of three weeks, as many people on our trip will fly home from our last city, Shanghai, on 28-October-2017.

''Of course, everyone is free to arrive and leave whenever you like for the Hacker Trip To China. 
I will tentatively be flying home from Shanghai 28-October. ''

'''Cost:''' For the Hacker Trip To China 2016, I paid $1,997 total (for 4 weeks), including air fare from SF, food, lodging, transportation, and everything -- including some electronics stuff and some clothing that I bought. 
''As in past years, part of this year's trip may be paid for by Tsinghua University and other places that invite us to give presentations.''

== Possible itinerary outline for Hacker Trip to China 7 ==

'''The start and end dates are set, the start and end cities are set, but the rest of the itinerary is open to serendipity:'''
''7-October-2017 -- '''Leave home''' for '''Hong Kong''' (arrive in Hong Kong on 8-October)''
''8-October-2017 -- We all meet in '''Hong Kong''' -- hotel: to be determined
'''8-October to 11-October -- Hong Kong'''
'''11-October to 16-October -- Shenzhen'''
13-October: tour of factories
15-October, 4pm-6pm: Chaihuo x.factory Bring-A-Hack
'''16-October to 19-October -- Xi'an'''
'''19-October to 24-October -- Beijing'''
'''24-October to 28-October -- Shanghai''' ''
''28-October-2017 -- '''fly home''' (arrive NA or EU on same day)''

== You will Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China, you needed to get a visa!

Everyone should get a multiple-entry Tourist L visa (if you only get a single-entry visa, you'll be fine, but you won't have as many options, such as going in and out of Shenzhen to Hong Kong).

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 12 months after you planned to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 28-October-2017, then your passport needs to be valid through 27-October-2017). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (after we have everything we need I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you when I have this).
** a copy of your airline tickets (both to and from China).

* For US citizens, the visa cost $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). Starting this year, US citizens can get a multiple-entry visa, good for 10 years. We should all apply for a Tourist L visa.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate. No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is available for $20 or $30.) 
''NOTE: The Chinese consulates are all closed for holidays on: 27-30 January, 29-30 May, 30-May, 9-June, 4-July, 4-September, 2-October, 9-October and other dates: 
[http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/eng/lszj/t1424287.htm 2017 Chinese Consulate Holiday Schedule]''
 
(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

== Previous Hacker Trips To China ==
::''This will be the 6th Noisebridge Hacker Trip To China.'' 
::''In previous years' Hacker Trip To China, we've visited cities that currently have a hackerspace, and visited my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We also visited Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and other schools -- all of which have now starting hackerspaces. China is now exploding with hackerspaces! We also went to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we went, we were shown around by local geeks, to see what they thought was interesting where they live. Also, wherever we went, those of us interested gave talks, presentations, workshops, and demos.''

== This year's Hacker Trip To China ==
'''When:''' 11-October-2016 (Shanghai) through 1-November-2016 (Beijing).

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We were each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in Shanghai on 11-October, and fly home from Beijing on 1-November (or from wherever and whenever you decide to fly home from). 

I'll organized the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I'll pay in advance for some of this, and you can pay me back. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we will go to, we'll visit some of their local hackerspace(s), and will be shown around by local geeks to see what interested them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" (and spectacular) tourist things too! 

'''Here's some possible places we might visit, leaving plenty of room for the serendipity that makes our Hacker Trip To China truly unique and memorable:''' 
* We'll start our trip by meeting in '''Shanghai''' on 11-October-2016. We'll visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I have used for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we will all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We will also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai. We have been invited to the [http://www.shanghaimakercarnival.com/ Shanghai Maker Carnival], where we can all show off our projects and give workshops (if you like). We can also visit companies started by hardware hacker geeks, such as [http://www.dfrobot.com/ DFRobot]. We can also visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall] (a smaller version of the famous electronics mall we will later visit in Shenzhen).
* We'll go from Shanghai to '''Hong Kong''' and visit [http://www.dimsumlabs.com/ Dim Sum Labs] hackerspace. We'll also see lots of other cool stuff in Hong Kong. 
* Then we go across the border to mainland China again, to '''Shenzhen''' to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace], [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspace, and a few other new hackerspaces, some of which are real, and hundreds of which are brand new (this year) over-the-top bizarre government-started places where they want to create "the next Apple" (we won't visit them all!). We have been invited to the [http://www.makerfaireshenzhen.com/english Maker Faire Shenzhen], where we can all show off our projects and give workshops (if you like). We'll also visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio] - the open source hardware company - to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities. We'll meet with the founders of [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes] - another open source hardware company. We'll also visit other manufacturers, to see where all the things we use in our daily lives come from. Of course, we'll also visit the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen. 
* We'll then make our way to '''Beijing''' where we'll visit the [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Makerspace] hackerspace. We'll also visit Tsinghua University, where they built the world's largest hackerspace last year, and where I've been hacker in residence. Beijing has lots and lots of way cool stuff to visit and be a part of.

For most of us, our trip will end here in Beijing as many people on our trip will fly home from Beijing on 1-November-2016.

''I will be in Beijing, as hacker in residence at Tsinghua University from 31-August through 10-October. Everyone is welcome to join me in Beijing for any or all of this residency. (And, of course, are everyone is free to arrive and leave whenever you like.) 
I fly home from Shanghai on 2-November. ''

'''Cost:''' For the fifth Noisebridge China trip, I paid $2,222 total (for 4 weeks), including air fare from SF and food and everything -- including all the electronics stuff that I bought. 
''Part of this year's trip may be paid for by Tsinghua University.''

== You will Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China, you needed to get a visa!

Everyone should get a multiple-entry Tourist L visa (if you only get a single-entry visa, you won't be able to go to Hong Kong).

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 12 months after you planned to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 1-November-2016, then your passport needs to be valid through 31-October-2017). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (after we have everything we need I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you when I have this).
** a copy of your airline tickets (both to and from China).

* For US citizens, the visa cost $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). Starting this year, you can get a multiple-entry visa, good for 10 years. We should all apply for a Tourist L visa.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate. No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is available for $20 or $30.) 
''NOTE: The Chinese consulates are all closed for holidays on: 2-May, 30-May, 4-July, 29-July, 5-September, 3-October, and other dates: 
[http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/eng/lszj/t1328419.htm 2016 Chinese Consulate Holiday Schedule]''
 
(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

The trip is limited to 20 people total (including Mitch) 
-- the first 19 people (after Mitch) who are either there already, or who bought tickets to meet in Shanghai on or before 11-October-2016 are the people who are in this Trip        (which probably means flying away from home on or before 10-October)

''This will be the 5th Noisebridge Hacker Trip To China.'' 
''In previous years' Hacker Trip To China, we've visited cities that currently have a hackerspace, and visited my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We also visited Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and other schools -- all of which are now starting hackerspaces. We also went to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we went, we were shown around by local geeks, to see what they thought was interesting where they live. Also, wherever we went, those of us interested gave talks, presentations, workshops, and demos.''

-- [[User:Maltman23|Mitch]].

'''When:''' 2-October-2015 (Hong Kong) through 21-October-2015 (Shanghai).

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We were each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in Hong Kong on 2-October, and fly home from Shanghai on 21-October (or from wherever you decided to fly home from). 

I'll organized the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I'll pay in advance for all of this, and you can pay me back. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we will go to, we'll visit their local hackerspace(s), and will be shown around by local geeks to see what interested them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" (and spectacular) tourist things too! 

'''Here's some possible places we might visit:''' 
* We'll start our trip by meeting in '''Hong Kong''' on 2-October-2015. We will visit [http://www.dimsumlabs.com/ Dim Sum Labs] hackerspace. We'll also see lots of other cool stuff in Hong Kong. 
* We'll next go over the border into Mainland China to '''Shenzhen / Guangzhou''' for a few days to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace] and [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspaces, visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio] - the open source hardware company - to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities, and to visit with [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes] - another open source hardware company. We'll also visit some other manufacturers, to see where all the things we use in our daily lives come from. Of course, we'll also visit the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen. 
* From there we'll go to '''Shanghai''' where we'll visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I have used for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where will all, hopefully, get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We will also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai, and maybe [http://site.douban.com/133681/ Onion Capsule Makerspace] in nearby Hangzhou. We can also visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall]. 
* We'll also go to '''Beijing'''. We'll visit the [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Makerspace] hackerspace. We'll also visit Tsinghua University, where they'll just be finishing construction of the world's largest hackerspace. 
* We'll make our way back to '''Shanghai''', where, for most of us, our trip will end.
Many people on our trip will fly home from Shanghai on 21-October-2015.

I will be staying in China until 2-November-2015, when I fly home from Shanghai. Before then I will be traveling around China. Everyone is welcome to join me for any or all of these further adventures. (And, of course, are free to leave whenever you like.) 

'''Cost:''' For the third Noisebridge China trip, I paid about $2k total, including air fare from SF and food and everything -- including all the electronics stuff that I bought. 
''Part of this year's trip may be paid for by Tsinghua University.''

== You will Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China, you needed to get a visa!

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 12 months after you planned to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 21-October-2015, then your passport needs to be valid through 20-October-2016). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you).
** a printout of your invite letter (I'll email this to you).
** a copy of your airline ticket.

* For US citizens, the visa cost $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). Starting this year, you can get a multiple-entry, good for 10 years. We should all apply for a Tourist L visa.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate. No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is available for $20 or $30.) 
NOTE: The Chinese consulates are all closed for holidays on: 1-May, 25-May, 3-July, 31-July, 7-September, 1-October, 2-October, and other dates: 
[http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/eng/lszj/t1222697.htm 2015 Chinese Consulate Holiday Schedule]

(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

 

Here is the application form for the China Tourist L Visa (same as the link given above): 
http://www.china-embassy.org/eng/visas/fd/W020130830801798289342.pdf

'''I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow -- but here is the basic idea (from my 2014 visa form):''' 

On this form, most of the fields are obvious.
* For section 2.1, check "Tourism".
* The date of first entry in section 2.4 is the date we entered China, which was 2014-11-03.
* Longest intended stay -- section 2.5: 30 days.
* Itinerary in China -- section 2.6:
** Date: 3-11-2014
** Address:
*** Orange Hotel Beijing Zhongguancun
*** 北京市海淀区北下关街道皂君庙甲7号
* Who will pay -- section 2.7: myself
* Information of inviter in China -- section 2.8: 
          Name: Xia Hui Dong 
          Address: Shun De Building #410, Haidian District, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084 
          Phone number: +86 186-1832-8671 
          Relationship with applicant: host 
* For sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5: check the "No" box for all these
* For sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8: leave all these blank

''Because the first three Noisebridge China Trip were so successful,'' 
''I am planning a fourth Hacker Trip To China, including all cities that currently have a hackerspace, and visiting my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We will also be visiting Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and probably some other schools -- all of which want to start a hackerspace. We will also go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we go we will be shown around by local geeks, to see what they think is interesting where they live.'' 

'''When:''' 3-November-2014 (Beijing) through 24-November-2014 (Shanghai).

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We'll each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in Beijing on 3-November, and fly home from Shanghai on 24-November (or from wherever you decide to fly home from). 

I'm organizing the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I will pay in advance for all of this. You pay me back. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we go to we'll visit their local hackerspace(s), and be shown around by local geeks to see what interests them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" tourist things too -- and the places we'll be going have spectacular sights! 

'''Here's some possible places we'll visit:''' 
* We'll start our trip in '''Beijing'''. We'll visit the [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Maxpace] hackerspace. We'll also visit Tsinghua University. We can all give presentations and workshops (if you like). 
* We'll go to '''Shenzhen / Guangzhou''' for a few days to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace] and [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspaces, visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio], the open source hardware company, to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities, and visit with [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes], another open source hardware company. We'll also go to the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen. 
* We'll go to '''Shanghai''' to visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I use for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we'll all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We'll also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai, [http://site.douban.com/133681/ Onion Capsule Makerspace] in nearby Hangzhou, and there will be time to visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall].
* We'll go to '''Kunshan''', which is supposed to be a beautiful city, near Shanghai, to go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), which is a huge Maker-Faire-ish event where we will have a table to show off stuff, if you like. 

I will go on from Shanghai, eventually back to Beijing, where I'll fly to Singapore on 1-December. I'll be part of a mini-maker-fair-ish set of events there that go on for several days, organized by [http://sgmakers.com/ Singapore Makers], and fly home from Singapore to San Francisco on 11-December. Everyone is welcome to join me for any or all of these further advantures. (And, of course, you are free to leave whenever you like.) 

'''Cost:''' For the third Noisebridge China trip, I paid about $2k total, including air fare from SF and food and everything -- including all the electronics stuff that I bought. 
''It is possible that part of our trip will be paid for by Tsinghua and IEIK 2014).''

== You Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China you need to get a visa!

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 6 months after you plan to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 24-April, then your passport needs to be valid through 25-October-2013). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you).
** a printout of your invite letter (I'll email this to you).
** a copy of your airline ticket.

* For US citizens, the visa costs $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). You can get a single-entry, or a multiple-entry visa. I recommend getting a '''multiple-entry visa''' valid for 1 year, since multiple-entry visas cost the same as single-entry, and they are equally easy to obtain. I recommend getting a '''Tourist L visa''', which is very easy.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate (which are all closed on 23-Jan and 24-Jan for Chinese New Year). No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is avaliable for $20 or $30.)

(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

 

Here is the application form for the China Tourist L Visa (same as the link given above): 
http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf

'''I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow -- but here is the basic idea:''' 

On this form, most of the fields are obvious.
* For section 2.1, check "Tourism".
* The date of first entry in section 2.4 is the date we will be entering China, which is 2014-11-03.
* Longest intended stay -- section 2.5: 30 days.
* Itinerary in China -- section 2.6:
** Date: 3-11-2014
** Address:
*** Orange Hotel Beijing Zhongguancun
*** 北京市海淀区北下关街道皂君庙甲7号
* Who will pay -- section 2.7: myself
* Information of inviter in China -- section 2.8: 
          Name: Xia Hui Dong 
          Address: Shun De Building #410, Haidian District, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084 
          Phone number: +86 186-1832-8671 
          Relationship with applicant: host 
* For sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5: check the "No" box for all these
* For sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8: leave all these blank

Cedric: /* People interested in going on the Hacker Trip to China #4, 2014: */ Update flight details (Cedric)

= NOISEBRIDGE CHINA TRIP #4 -- Start Date: 3-November-2014, in Beijing -- End Date: 24-November-2014, in Shanghai=

[[File:KungFuHacking_Nov_2013.jpg|thumb|right|Trip #3 Kung Fu Hacking: Hackers In Residence Kickoff event at Tsinghua University, Beijing]]

[[File:Shanghai_Oct_2009.jpg|thumb|right|Trip #1 Visit to injection molding factory, Shanghai]]

''Because the first three Noisebridge China Trip were so successful,'' 
''I am planning a fourth Hacker Trip To China, including all cities that currently have a hackerspace, and visiting my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We will also be visiting Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and probably some other schools -- all of which want to start a hackerspace. We will also go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we go we will be shown around by local geeks, to see what they think is interesting where they live.'' 

'''When:''' 3-November-2014 (Beijing) through 24-November-2014 (Shanghai).

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We'll each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in Beijing on 3-November, and fly home from Shanghai on 24-November (or from wherever you decide to fly home from). 

I'm organizing the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I will pay in advance for all of this. You pay me back. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we go to we'll visit their local hackerspace(s), and be shown around by local geeks to see what interests them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" tourist things too -- and the places we'll be going have spectacular sights! 

'''Here's some possible places we'll visit:''' 
* We'll start our trip in '''Beijing'''. We'll visit the [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Maxpace] hackerspace. We'll also visit Tsinghua University. We can all give presentations and workshops (if you like). 
* We'll go to '''Shenzhen / Guangzhou''' for a few days to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace] and [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspaces, visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio], the open source hardware company, to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities, and visit with [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes], another open source hardware company. We'll also go to the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen. 
* We'll go to '''Shanghai''' to visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I use for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we'll all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We'll also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai, [http://site.douban.com/133681/ Onion Capsule Makerspace] in nearby Hangzhou, and there will be time to visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall].
* We'll go to '''Kunshan''', which is supposed to be a beautiful city, near Shanghai, to go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), which is a huge Maker-Faire-ish event where we will have a table to show off stuff, if you like. 

I will go on from Shanghai, eventually back to Beijing, where I'll fly to Singapore on 1-December. I'll be part of a mini-maker-fair-ish set of events there that go on for several days, organized by [http://sgmakers.com/ Singapore Makers], and fly home from Singapore to San Francisco on 11-December. Everyone is welcome to join me for any or all of these further advantures. (And, of course, you are free to leave whenever you like.) 

'''Cost:''' For the third Noisebridge China trip, I paid about $2k total, including air fare from SF and food and everything -- including all the electronics stuff that I bought. 
''It is possible that part of our trip will be paid for by Tsinghua and IEIK 2014).''

== You Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China you need to get a visa!

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 6 months after you plan to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 24-April, then your passport needs to be valid through 25-October-2013). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you).
** a printout of your invite letter (I'll email this to you).
** a copy of your airline ticket.

* For US citizens, the visa costs $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). You can get a single-entry, or a multiple-entry visa. I recommend getting a '''multiple-entry visa''' valid for 1 year, since multiple-entry visas cost the same as single-entry, and they are equally easy to obtain. I recommend getting a '''Tourist L visa''', which is very easy.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate (which are all closed on 23-Jan and 24-Jan for Chinese New Year). No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is avaliable for $20 or $30.)

(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

 

Here is the application form for the China Tourist L Visa (same as the link given above): 
http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf

'''I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow -- but here is the basic idea:''' 

On this form, most of the fields are obvious.
* For section 2.1, check "Tourism".
* The date of first entry in section 2.4 is the date we will be entering China, which is 2014-11-03.
* Longest intended stay -- section 2.5: 30 days.
* Itinerary in China -- section 2.6:
** Date: 3-11-2014
** Address:
*** Orange Hotel Beijing Zhongguancun
*** 北京市海淀区北下关街道皂君庙甲7号
* Who will pay -- section 2.7: myself
* Information of inviter in China -- section 2.8: 
          Name: Xia Hui Dong 
          Address: Shun De Building #410, Haidian District, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084 
          Phone number: +86 186-1832-8671 
          Relationship with applicant: host 
* For sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5: check the "No" box for all these
* For sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8: leave all these blank

Cedric: /* People interested in going on the Hacker Trip to China #4, 2014: */ Adding myself (Cedric)

= NOISEBRIDGE CHINA TRIP #4 -- Start Date: 3-November-2014, in Beijing -- End Date: 24-November-2014, in Shanghai=

[[File:KungFuHacking_Nov_2013.jpg|thumb|right|Trip #3 Kung Fu Hacking: Hackers In Residence Kickoff event at Tsinghua University, Beijing]]

[[File:Shanghai_Oct_2009.jpg|thumb|right|Trip #1 Visit to injection molding factory, Shanghai]]

''Because the first three Noisebridge China Trip were so successful,'' 
''I am planning a fourth Hacker Trip To China, including all cities that currently have a hackerspace, and visiting my manufacturer, Seeed Studio, and other manufacturers. We will also be visiting Tsinghua University, considered the most prestigious university in China, and probably some other schools -- all of which want to start a hackerspace. We will also go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), near Shanghai. And everywhere we go we will be shown around by local geeks, to see what they think is interesting where they live.'' 

'''When:''' 3-November-2014 (Beijing) through 24-November-2014 (Shanghai).

'''Flight, transportation, and hotel Info''': We'll each be on our own to book our own air fare to meet in Beijing on 3-November, and fly home from Shanghai on 24-November (or from wherever you decide to fly home from). 

I'm organizing the itinerary and the hotels and other transport. I will pay in advance for all of this. You pay me back. 

'''Where:''' In each of the cities we go to we'll visit their local hackerspace(s), and be shown around by local geeks to see what interests them where they live. We'll also have plenty of time to do "normal" tourist things too -- and the places we'll be going have spectacular sights! 

'''Here's some possible places we'll visit:''' 
* We'll start our trip in '''Beijing'''. We'll visit the [http://www.bjmakerspace.com/ Beijing Maxpace] hackerspace. We'll also visit Tsinghua University. We can all give presentations and workshops (if you like). 
* We'll go to '''Shenzhen / Guangzhou''' for a few days to visit [http://www.chaihuo.org/ Chaihuo Makerspace] and [http://www.szdiy.org/ SZDIY] hackerspaces, visit [http://www.seeedstudio.com Seeed Studio], the open source hardware company, to meet the cool folks there and to see their manufacturing facilities, and visit with [http://dangerousprototypes.com/ Dangerous Prototypes], another open source hardware company. We'll also go to the famous (and totally awesome!) [http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/shenzhen/print Huaqiangbei electronics market] in Shenzhen. 
* We'll go to '''Shanghai''' to visit [http://www.etonnet.com/ my manufacturer (Etonnet)] that I use for [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote controls and [http://www.neurodreamer.com NeuroDreamer] sleep masks, where we'll all get to see how products are made, from start to finish, learning how manufacturing works. We'll also visit [http://xinchejian.com/ XinCheJian] hackerspace in Shanghai, [http://site.douban.com/133681/ Onion Capsule Makerspace] in nearby Hangzhou, and there will be time to visit the [http://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/4064240200/in/set-72157622640069902/ Shanghai electronics mall].
* We'll go to '''Kunshan''', which is supposed to be a beautiful city, near Shanghai, to go to the International Exhibition of Inventions Kunshan (IEIK 2014), which is a huge Maker-Faire-ish event where we will have a table to show off stuff, if you like. 

I will go on from Shanghai, eventually back to Beijing, where I'll fly to Singapore on 1-December. I'll be part of a mini-maker-fair-ish set of events there that go on for several days, organized by [http://hackerspace.sg/ HackerspaceSG], and fly home from Singapore to San Francisco on 11-December. Everyone is welcome to join me for any or all of these further advantures. (And, of course, you are free to leave whenever you like.) 

'''Cost:''' For the third Noisebridge China trip, I paid about $2k total, including air fare from SF and food and everything -- including all the electronics stuff that I bought. 
''It is possible that part of our trip will be paid for by Tsinghua and IEIK 2014).''

== You Need a Chinese Visa!! ==
To go to China you need to get a visa!

* And to get a visa, you need to have a passport that is valid ''at least'' 6 months after you plan to fly away from China (so, e.g., if you are leaving China on 24-April, then your passport needs to be valid through 25-October-2013). Your passport must also have at least ''one entirely blank page''.

* You also need:
** a printout of a filled-out [http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf Visa Application Form V. 2013 of the People's Republic of China] (I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow).
** a copy of the information pages of your passport.
** a copy of your most Chinese visa (if you have been to China before).
** one 2"x2" recent color photo (not a printout).
** a screenshot or printout of hotel reservation confirmation (I'll email this to you).
** a printout of your invite letter (I'll email this to you).
** a copy of your airline ticket.

* For US citizens, the visa costs $140 (much cheaper for other nationalities). You can get a single-entry, or a multiple-entry visa. I recommend getting a '''multiple-entry visa''' valid for 1 year, since multiple-entry visas cost the same as single-entry, and they are equally easy to obtain. I recommend getting a '''Tourist L visa''', which is very easy.

You can pay the fee by Visa, MasterCard, Money Order, Cashier's Check or Company Check. ''Cash or Personal checks are not acceptable.''

To get a visa, you can go to your local Chinese consulate (which are all closed on 23-Jan and 24-Jan for Chinese New Year). No appointment is required. You go in one day, and it will be ready for pick up 4 business days later. My experience is that it takes about an hour the first day, and takes only a few minutes to pick up the visa a few days later. (2 to 3 business-day and 1 business day/same-day express service is avaliable for $20 or $30.)

(Citizens of US and Europe ''do not'' need a separate visa for Hong Kong.)

 

Here is the application form for the China Tourist L Visa (same as the link given above): 
http://www.chinaconsulatesf.org/chn/qianzhen/zgqz/P020130828366275572026.pdf

'''I'll email you my filled out form as an example to follow -- but here is the basic idea:''' 

On this form, most of the fields are obvious.
* For section 2.1, check "Tourism".
* The date of first entry in section 2.4 is the date we will be entering China, which is 2014-11-03.
* Longest intended stay -- section 2.5: 30 days.
* Itinerary in China -- section 2.6:
** Date: 3-11-2014
** Address:
*** Orange Hotel Beijing Zhongguancun
*** 北京市海淀区北下关街道皂君庙甲7号
* Who will pay -- section 2.7: myself
* Information of inviter in China -- section 2.8: 
          Name: Xia Hui Dong 
          Address: Shun De Building #410, Haidian District, Tsinghua University, Beijing, 100084 
          Phone number: +86 186-1832-8671 
          Relationship with applicant: host 
* For sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5: check the "No" box for all these
* For sections 3.6, 3.7, 3.8: leave all these blank

Consciousness Hacking

2014-03-26T09:01:14Z

Cedric: Consciousness Hacking initial description from the meetup page

Consciousness Hacking is a hands-on approach to making new tools for self-exploration, in order to change the way we think, feel, and live. Its an inside out perspective on how technology can serve us by changing our relationship to the world, rather than the world itself. (note: This is NOT about unauthorized or forced influence over anyone or anything.) Meetings will focus more on sharing existing projects, and receiving community support for new ideas, and less on philosophy or theory.

Have an idea for a cool EEG + meditation app? Maybe you're interested in a new way of creating sound to alter the way the brain works? This is the place to explore or present your idea. In the spirit of the Maker Movement or Quantified Self but with the pragmatic spiritual influence of Buddhist Geeks or Dharma Overground, the ultimate purpose of the group is to empower YOU to develop new tools for changing the way you feel and live. You do not need a technology background, and you are absolutely welcome to join if you have no interest in ever developing your own tools, but there will definitely be a heavy focus on modern technology as the hacking medium.

Science is increasingly recognizing what spiritual and religious traditions have been advocating for thousands of years: through focused self-awareness we can fundamentally change our conscious experience. The keys to accessing profound joy and contentment in this world lie not in our external circumstances, but in our relationship to ourselves. Its impossible to deny the profound benefits reaped by long time meditation practitioners, living in solitude or intentional communities. Is there a modern enlightenment, in harmony with the media and technology that seems to constantly externalize our attention, and increase our sense of separation from ourselves and others? Can we create new forms of technology that bring us back to ourselves? Can we leverage existing technologies to help us cultivate calm minds, lower stress, and rediscover our sense of connectedness and the simple joy of being alive here and now?

Consumer EEG headsets are beginning to flood the market enabling inexpensive access to brain activity. Bio sensing technology capable of measuring signals such as pulse, skin conductivity, or physical movement are readily available as commercial products. Computation is no longer a limiting factor, and massive amounts of data can be scoured for patterns no human mind could identify. New methods of neural-stimulation, such as tDCS, TMS and pulsed ultrasound, are being explored and are available to the pioneering hacker. Neuroscience research is beginning to deeply explore the nature of not only meditation, but of mystical and enlightened states. And these examples are just the tip of the iceberg.

Interactive Cubes Workshop

2014-02-22T21:33:00Z

Cedric: /* Hack ideas */ Add Gesture Recognition suggestion.

[[Image:Sifteo_cube_teardown.jpg|right]]
'''Software + Hardware Hacking, let's dig deep into the [http://sifteo.com Sifteo cubes]'''

== What? ==

An amazing explanation by [http://scanlime.org Micah] of sifteo's insane design hacks is on
[http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/12/05/how-we-built-a-super-nintendo-out-of-a-wireless-keyboard-sifteo-sifteo/ adafruit blog].

But as a quick intro, Sifteo cubes can be seen as the best hackable platform, here is a summary of what they have:
* an accelerometer
* a touch screen (128x128)
* 4 proximity sensors (to recognize other cubes touching their 4 sides)

They are wirelessly connected to a base with:
* an STM32 (cortex M3)
* a mono speaker
* a usb connection to log anything to a computer

The base can communicate with up to 12 cubes (maybe 24 if you ask nicely).

It can be programmed with a simple and intuitive C++ API, check out the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK].

== When? ==

At least during the noisebridge [[30c3]]: December 26th (to 30th)

...it might lead to a hackathon with Sifteo prizes soon too.

== Hack ideas ==

Here are a few examples of that could be done during these sessions:
* '''magic light juggle''': acceleration change the color/brightness and the cubes disappear in the air
* '''music & light''': implement a BPM counter to blink color screens on the music rythme by listening to the vibrations sensed by accelerometer (like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1d_02OjXI here])
* '''siftephone in''': listen to a smartphone vibrations with Sifteo's accelerometer (like above)
* '''siftephone out''': talk to a smartphone using sound with audio system such as [http://chirp.io chirp.io] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/siftone here])
* '''midi controller''': play music using the cubes as midi instruments with [http://ableton.com Ableton] or [http://renoise.com Renoise] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/noon here])
* '''internet of things''': control anything remotely using python to forward Sifteo logs to an email or a server such as [http://heroku.com heroku] or [http://parse.com parse.com]
* '''turn up the volume!''': follow this awesome [http://www.instructables.com/id/Plug-it-In-How-to-Hack-Your-Sifteo-Base-for-Bigge/?ALLSTEPS instructable]!
* '''UART communication''': simple hacks involving microcontrollers can be tried too but the project must be worth it ;p (it's a bit more complicated)
* '''Gesture recognition''': cubes accelerometer data can be sent to a computer (w/ USB log) and gestures can be recognized with toolkits such as the [http://www.nickgillian.com/software/grt MIT-GRT]. A lighter implementation can even be ported to the cubes: [http://depts.washington.edu/aimgroup/proj/dollar/ dollar Unistroke Recognizer].

== Warning! ==

'''If interested, please don't just show up, your participation/preparation is important:'''
* [[User:Cedric|contact me]] in advance to bring more cubes
* download the SDK: https://developers.sifteo.com/download
* start to play with the examples in the free simulator in the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK]

Interhacktively yours,

Drix.

Cedric: /* Upcoming Events edit */ Add a non recurring "Co-work/co-learn programming session".

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.


=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff........like in person(?) DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend bringing in at least one Noisebridge member, and getting advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

You should view the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=1uesj915rces4cbmcr8j3sg8t0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar].

Cedric: /* Upcoming Events edit */ Remove an expired non-recurring event.

Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.


=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendar. Many events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements [[Mailinglist | mailing lists]], [[IRC]] or in person at [[:Category:Meeting_Notes | Tuesday meetings]]. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff........like in person(?) DO pay attention, as some events just arise organically from the bottom up!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend bringing in at least one Noisebridge member, and getting advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

You should view the [https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=1uesj915rces4cbmcr8j3sg8t0%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar].
To post Google Calendar entries for your event or to gain access to do so for yourself, ask on the [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge-Discuss] (sometimes known as the Noisebridge "Disgust") mailing list.

Cedric: Add potential date.

''...coming soon - probably in the week of the 13th-17th Jan...''

Hi Hacker !

Are you preparing for an interview as a software engineer or similar role? Many tech companies ask questions about data structures and algorithms, Big O Analysis, and technical puzzlers. This is a club for like minded individuals to prepare for such interviews by practicing typical technical/coding questions with each other on whiteboards, and critiquing answers in a friendly and encouraging environment.

The typical meeting format is as follows:

We start with a quick meet and greet before breaking in to pairs.
Each pair will take turns as interviewer and interviewee. The interviewer will spend a few minutes asking the interviewee about their resume, experience and what they are looking for in a role. Then they spend 20 minutes or so posing a technical coding question, and reviewing the solution. Then, the pair switch roles.

Pairs are, of course, welcome to change it up to suit their own needs!

After each round, we can change partners.

Please come prepared with:

* A friendly and inquisitive attitude!

* A copy of your resume for the 'interviewer' to review and discuss

* Some 'puzzler' type questions that are typical in tech interviews; Ideally questions you know the answers to!

If you are into Embedded systems, here is an example of exercises that could be useful:

May the force be with you!

== The event ==

The 30th Chaos Communication Congress (30C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures https://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/schedule.html and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

For 30 years, the congress has been organized by the community and appreciates all kinds of participation. You are encouraged to contribute by volunteering, setting up and hosting hands-on and self-organized events with the other components of your assembly or presenting your own projects to fellow hackers. Some basic survival guidelines might come in handy for everything not answered in our 30C3 FAQ. Updated information are covered by the CCC Events Blog or via Twitter (@CCC).

But as a quick intro, Sifteo cubes can be seen as the best hackable platform, here is a summary of what they have:
* an accelerometer
* a touch screen (128x128)
* 4 proximity sensors (to recognize other cubes touching their 4 sides)

They are wirelessly connected to a base with:
* an STM32 (cortex M3)
* a mono speaker
* a usb connection to log anything to a computer

The base can communicate with up to 12 cubes (maybe 24 if you ask nicely).

It can be programmed with a simple and intuitive C++ API, check out the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK].

== When? ==

At least during the noisebridge [[30c3]]: December 26th (to 30th)

...it might lead to a hackathon with Sifteo prizes soon too.

== Hack ideas ==

Here are a few examples of that could be done during these sessions:
* '''magic light juggle''': acceleration change the color/brightness and the cubes disappear in the air
* '''music & light''': implement a BPM counter to blink color screens on the music rythme by listening to the vibrations sensed by accelerometer (like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1d_02OjXI here])
* '''siftephone in''': listen to a smartphone vibrations with Sifteo's accelerometer (like above)
* '''siftephone out''': talk to a smartphone using sound with audio system such as [http://chirp.io chirp.io] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/siftone here])
* '''midi controller''': play music using the cubes as midi instruments with [http://ableton.com Ableton] or [http://renoise.com Renoise] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/noon here])
* '''internet of things''': control anything remotely using python to forward Sifteo logs to an email or a server such as [http://heroku.com heroku] or [http://parse.com parse.com]
* '''turn up the volume!''': follow this awesome [http://www.instructables.com/id/Plug-it-In-How-to-Hack-Your-Sifteo-Base-for-Bigge/?ALLSTEPS instructable]!
* '''UART communication''': simple hacks involving microcontrollers can be tried too but the project must be worth it ;p (it's a bit more complicated)

== Warning! ==

'''If interested, please don't just show up, your participation/preparation is important:'''
* [[User:Cedric|contact me]] in advance to bring more cubes
* download the SDK: https://developers.sifteo.com/download
* start to play with the examples in the free simulator in the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK]

Interhacktively yours,

Drix.

== The event ==

The 30th Chaos Communication Congress (30C3) is an annual four-day conference on technology, society and utopia. The Congress offers lectures (not online yet) and workshops and various events on a multitude of topics including (but not limited to) information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society.

For 30 years, the congress has been organized by the community and appreciates all kinds of participation. You are encouraged to contribute by volunteering, setting up and hosting hands-on and self-organized events with the other components of your assembly or presenting your own projects to fellow hackers. Some basic survival guidelines might come in handy for everything not answered in our 30C3 FAQ. Updated information are covered by the CCC Events Blog or via Twitter (@CCC).

== Congress everywhere ==

Hackers all over the world are organizing events to bring the congress closer to home – Congress everywhere: Allow those unable to attend the Congress in Hamburg to celebrate their own Hackcenter experience, watch the streams, participate via twitter or chats, drink Tschunk, cook and have a good time.

Noisebridge will be hosting an event throughout the congress bringing live streams to and from Hamburg and the Mission.

Cedric: Resurrection of the Sifteo Hack session.

'''Software + Hardware Hacking, let's dig deep into the [http://sifteo.com Sifteo cubes]'''
