Johnm: /* Recurring Events edit */

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. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event | hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

To post Google Calendar entries for your event, contact a Noisebridge member for access.

(Wouldn't it be great if there were a gCal mediawiki plugin so crossposting wasn't needed? Do you know of a good one? Help us!) <- working on this, need to upgrade Mediawiki in order to use some plugins.

Bedbugs

2011-05-22T06:00:31Z

Johnm: /* Pledge */

There is a possibility of a bedbug infestation. This is a page for organizing a response.

[[Image:Bedbugs-scoff-at-our-puny-pesticides.jpeg‎|thumb|right|The Enemy]]

=Pledge=

So far we have had an inspection by people who have had bedbugs before, and put out little CO2 generating bedbug traps. No evidence of any bedbugs have been discovered so far.

Cute dogs from http://www.yelp.com/biz/scent-tek-san-francisco-2 will come and expertly collapse the heisenbergian eigenbedbug state for us (ie tell whether we have them, and where exactly they reside).

It will cost $235-$350. In accordance with anciente tradition, herewith a pledge list:

Danny - $70 (bedbug unbeliever - will double and donate half to NB if there are)

MrDominus - $20 (?right?)

Jason - $20 (?right?)

Erik S. - $50 (i have had bedbugs before and it sux)

Liz - $20 (These are not the bedbugs you're looking for.)

Will S - $70

[[User:Johnm|John M]] - $20 (Go, Dog. Go!)

=Next Steps=
* DON'T PANIC
* Set traps - determine if bedbug menace is real.
* Mediation with bedbugs.
* Declare War On Bedbugs
* Ban bedbugs from space.
* If mediation fails, determine the best course of action to eradicate them. Bring up any big projects, potentially harmful consequences in Tuesday meeting.
* Trash all couches and chairs with soft surfaces (like a cushion).
* Capture alive if possible.
* STOBITH ("Shoot The Bedbug In The Head")
* I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
**That very well may be, but if we kill off the bed bugs who will run the underground Factories?
***Stage 37: Robot bed bugs are moved in to continue production.
****Well sure, but what if the robots revolt for equal robo-rights?
*****Stage 38: Gorillas are brought in to quell the robo-insurrection
******Fine as that may be, what if the gorillas are pacifists?
*******Forcibly inject Gorillas with steroids to make them more violent
* Avoid carrying them home at all costs
* Prevent reocurrence by building one of these: http://softsolder.com/2010/11/20/bed-bugs-hot-box-disinsector/
* There's lots of information here on how to get rid of them: http://softsolder.com/2010/11/21/bed-bugs-wrapup/
* Once you've got rid of them, avoid bringing them back!

Johnm: /* Recurring Events edit */

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. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event | hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

To post Google Calendar entries for your event, contact a Noisebridge member for access.

(Wouldn't it be great if there were a gCal mediawiki plugin so crossposting wasn't needed? Do you know of a good one? Help us!) <- working on this, need to upgrade Mediawiki in order to use some plugins.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===

*"'April 4th, 19:00'" - Camp KDE Party. Come and meet part of the KDE North America community and get a quick overview of this year's [http://camp.kde.org/|Camp KDE]] conference. There will be beer.

April 28, 21:00 - Utopia Film Night Screening and Discussion "Life After Growth" By Leah Temper and Claudia Medina. The filmmakers present and lead a discussion on their 25 minute film looking at what a post-growth earthship economy would look like.

*"'May 13th, 19:00'" - Build a Contact Mic with Hackerspace Rock Band CMKT 4. All the way from Chicago, the band is eager to teach you the art of contact microphone building. Here is our standard class description:

At our workshops, everyone who buys a kit ($15 per workshop attendee, includes a kit; $10 apiece for additional kits) will learn to solder. They will also work with hot glue, zip ties, shielded cable, a piezo electric disc and recycled bottle-caps to make a fully functioning Bottle-Cap Contact Microphone. These microphones pick up physical vibrations and transduce the vibrations into an electrical audio signal. Students are encouraged to bring instruments and found objects to listen to through the microphones.
There is a dry-time involved in the materials we use, however, during that time, we will put on a brief performance for the attendees. For the performance, we will require the use of a PA.

You can hear more about us at http://www.facebook.com/cmkt4 http://www.myspace.com/cmkt4 and http://cmkt4.bandcamp.com/, we have performance videos at http://www.vimeo.com/channels/cremedementia. Follow us on twitter @cmkt4.

Johnm: /* Recurring Events edit */

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. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event | hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

Event posters are encouraged to crosspost to the Google Calendar. View the [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Los_Angeles Google Calendar], view the [http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic Google Calendar in XML], or the [http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/vo3i3c0qtjnkjr2ojasd0ftt8s%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics Google Calendar in ical] format.

To post Google Calendar entries for your event, contact a Noisebridge member for access.

(Wouldn't it be great if there were a gCal mediawiki plugin so crossposting wasn't needed? Do you know of a good one? Help us!) <- working on this, need to upgrade Mediawiki in order to use some plugins.

=== Upcoming Events [https://www.noisebridge.net/index.php?title=Category:Events&action=edit&section=2 edit] ===

*"'May 13th, 19:00'" - Build a Contact Mic with Hackerspace Rock Band CMKT 4. All the way from Chicago, the band is eager to teach you the art of contact microphone building. Here is our standard class description:

At our workshops, everyone who buys a kit ($15 per workshop attendee, includes a kit; $10 apiece for additional kits) will learn to solder. They will also work with hot glue, zip ties, shielded cable, a piezo electric disc and recycled bottle-caps to make a fully functioning Bottle-Cap Contact Microphone. These microphones pick up physical vibrations and transduce the vibrations into an electrical audio signal. Students are encouraged to bring instruments and found objects to listen to through the microphones.
There is a dry-time involved in the materials we use, however, during that time, we will put on a brief performance for the attendees. For the performance, we will require the use of a PA.

You can hear more about us at http://www.facebook.com/cmkt4 http://www.myspace.com/cmkt4 and http://cmkt4.bandcamp.com/, we have performance videos at http://www.vimeo.com/channels/cremedementia. Follow us on twitter @cmkt4.

Johnm: /* The Plan */

=The Material Fabrication Sessions=

Developing and sharing design techniques & hands-on fabrication skills useful for making material objects.
Facilitated by [[User:johnm|John Magolske]].

==What, Where & When==

'''What''': An informal class covering the use of shop tools, with a focus on project-based learning. 
'''When''': 8:00pm till ~9:30 most Fridays (monitor the [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/ discuss list] for exceptions) 
'''Where''': Noisebridge, 83C Wiese, San Francisco (near 16th St. BART). Map: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Getting_Here 
'''Who''': Folks interested in learning how to use tools to make physical things (you?) 
'''Cost''': Free, but people may be asked to pay for the cost of materials from time to time. Donations of tools or money to buy tools for Noisebridge are welcome.

==The Plan==

The plan is to cover in our weekly sessions the basics of how to:
* use fabrication tools: hacksaw, vise, drill press, bench grinder, lathe
* use some basic layout tools (machinist's square, scriber, centerpunch)
* create and read dimensioned drawings that fully define mechanical parts
* understand and follow safe shop practices

With a project-based learning approach, the goal is for people to create things
they're excited about using in their day-to-day lives. An initial project we're
focusing on is making a small, portable book-press suitable for making pocket
booklets. While we'll be going over the use of traditional basic shop tools, we
also encourage thinking outside the box.

=== Additional project ideas / activities for consideration: ===

* Enclosures for electronics projects (we're a bit limited in this regard until we manage to obtain a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_press break press] and some other basic sheet-metal working tools.
* Vegetable scraper
* Artwork & artifacts to spruce up the Noisebridge space (lighting fixtures, space organizing thingies...)
* Using a sewing machine to make booklets
* Making booklets that describe how to make booklets and tools used for making booklets
* Sewing shop aprons & fabric tool organizers
* Musical instruments (& then maybe segueing into a Friday night jam session with said instruments)

Johnm: /* Additional project ideas / activities for consideration: */

=The Material Fabrication Sessions=

Developing and sharing design techniques & hands-on fabrication skills useful for making material objects.
Facilitated by [[User:johnm|John Magolske]].

==What, Where & When==

'''What''': An informal class covering the use of shop tools, with a focus on project-based learning. 
'''When''': 8:00pm till ~9:30 most Fridays (monitor the [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/ discuss list] for exceptions) 
'''Where''': Noisebridge, 83C Wiese, San Francisco (near 16th St. BART). Map: [[Getting Here]] 
'''Who''': Folks interested in learning how to use tools to make physical things (you?) 
'''Cost''': Free, but people may be asked to pay for the cost of materials from time to time. Donations of tools or money to buy tools for Noisebridge are welcome.

==The Plan==

The plan is to cover in our weekly sessions the basics of how to:
* use fabrication tools: hacksaw, vise, drill press, bench grinder, lathe
* use some basic layout tools (machinist's square, scriber, centerpunch)
* create and read dimensioned drawings that fully define mechanical parts
* understand and follow safe shop practices

An initial project we're focusing on is making a small, portable book-press
suitable for making pocket booklets. While we'll be going over the use of
traditional basic shop tools, we also encourage thinking outside the box.

=== Additional project ideas / activities for consideration: ===

* Enclosures for electronics projects (we're a bit limited in this regard until we manage to obtain a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_press:break press] and some other basic sheet-metal working tools.
* Vegetable scraper
* Artwork & artifacts to spruce up the Noisebridge space (lighting fixtures, space organizing thingies...)
* Using a sewing machine to make booklets
* Making booklets that describe how to make booklets and tools used for making booklets
* Sewing shop aprons & fabric tool organizers
* Musical instruments (& then maybe segueing into a Friday night jam session with said instruments)

Soldering Workshop

2008-10-25T17:23:09Z

Johnm: /* Expressions of Interest */

Mitch wants to teach a soldering workshop, and Mikael wants to carve pumpkins.

== Time and Place ==

Saturday, 25 October, 3:00pm 
at Noisebridge, 83C Wiese (near 16th St. & Mission)

== Overview ==

You can learn to solder! Anyone can. Soldering is a basic skill for just about all electronics projects. If you've never soldered before, this workshop will give you the confidence to solder in less than two hours. If you want to learn how to solder better, this workshop will show you how. If you have soldered before, this workshop will teach you to solder surface mount parts with confidence.

Learn by doing!
I will have fun kits to learn with. For total newbies (and those interested), I will have kits for
[http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_mfaire.php Trippy RGB Waves project], a trippy, fun mood light using Red, Green, and Blue LEDs that has sensors on it to create waves of colors if you put a few of them together (scroll down from the link for more info). For more experienced people I will have a surface mount project (yet TBD -- but it will be fun!). You will be able to take your completed project home with you. If you prefer, feel free to bring your own soldering project.

Once you're done with your project, wouldn't it be awesome to fit your newly created functional LED thingie into a pumpkin? Making it reactive to ambient light? This way, you could have your own Jack-O-Lantern that only glows when glowing brings anything. So join in the pumpkin hackin' part too - with a light-sensitive LED circuit that'll take care of your pumpkin lightin' woes.

== Cost ==

Mitch's teaching time is free of charge, but the Trippy RGB Waves kits cost $10 each (which is what they cost me), and the surface mount kits will probably cost about $20 each. Feel free to bring your own soldering project if you prefer (no charge for this).

As for the pumpkins, Mikael'll organize a pumpkin shoppin' trip on Saturday, and as long as you get requests through by then, you'll have a pumpkin. Charges for that: the price of your pumpkin, rounded up a bit to fund the cutting tools. Depending on size, anything from $2 to $15 (numbers are wild and unsubstantiated guesses).

== Trippy RGB Waves lighting project ==

''Imagine a bunch of little lights (maybe 20 or 40 of them), on a table, each about the size of a chess piece. Each is independent of the other. You arrange them around on the table any way you want. Each one continually slowly changes colors on its own. When you wave your hand over them, it creates waves of colors that follow your hand.''

Here is a 30-second video of the
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGG8JH8itwE Trippy RGB Waves project] in action.

More info on these kits is available at:
[http://www.tvbgone.com/cfe_mfaire.php www.CornfieldElectronics.com] 
(scroll down till you see the section for Trippy RGB Waves kit).

== Light sensitive pumpkin lighters ==

With a pair of LEDs, a transistor and a photocell, and some wires, resistors and cabling, your pumpkin will react to ambient light and light up when the photocell detects darkness. It's a reasonably easy beginners project - with no more than 15 solder points altogether, and a total cost around $5, including a battery and a battery holder to drive the whole assembly.
