= ESP8266 =

The ESP8266 is a small, low-cost wifi-talking board. It's the new center of the Internet of Things. Originally intended as a "wifi modem", it exposes the WiFi interface over AT-style commands.

Some hackers immediately noticed there is a general-purpose microcontroller on the box, and made a firmware for it that takes Lua programs. Now you don't need another microcontroller. Sweet!

== Hardware ==

For full specs, see [https://nurdspace.nl/ESP8266]. Important facts:
* 3.3v *only* - 5v will let out the majikul smoke
* Some reports say 1A current draw, others say 250 mA
* Talks 802.1n, supports most major auth types.

There are a number of ESP8266 hardware versions. The ones of interest are:

* ESP1: 8 pins (basically one I/O plus power, etc.). Breadboard friendly (2.54mm), but not useful standalone
* ESP12: 16 pins (I/O, power, 9 GPIO). Non-breadboard friendly: 2mm pin spacing

== Software ==
Folks seem to use [http://nodemcu.com/index_en.html NodeMCU], a Lua based firmware, when using the ESP alone.

Prices are from the same store, and are competitive within a few cents.

* ESP-12, Without breakout (Option A): $2.60 [http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Free-Shipping-10pcs-lot-ESP8266-remote-serial-Port-WIFI-wireless-module-through-walls-Wang-ESP-12/413752_32243298445.html aliex]

Mikey: proposing a monthly meeting in the space, Conciousness Hacking, had one, another one planned for Saturday, create a comm. Based on ah ands on approach to new tools and tech for changing the way we feel, ex. If you look at what meditation does to our brain, ask can we design tech to do the same thing, taking the form of wearable to play music, measure heart rate, change color of wrists band, tech that interacts with you in some way to change the way you feel in a desirable way, speakers, lightning round for ideas, and presentations, make connections to help people work on projects. He's been doing it on Second Saturdays of every month, not fixed in stone, roughly in the middle of the month on Saturdays around 12-1. Probably not first sat because of godwaffls

MEMBERSHIP BINDER

Jarrod 2 categories of membership to noisebridge, the type we are referring to tonight is capital M Member, members who come to the meetings and make decisions to manage the space, deal with business of NB, what comes with that is power to participate in consensus, which is how NB is governed, beyond that there is not much else Member's have over others – they can block consensus, bc of that power, new members are consensed in to becoming members, which requires consensus of others members, those who want to have that level of participation in the community, fill out a form, read aloud at 4 meetings find 2 sponsors who are M's to vouch for them on their application, read for 4 weeks, 4th week they are have the option of being consensed for Member's
Other class is the associate members, ppl that have access to the space, become that way by getting 4 associate members or M's to vouch for them on the wiki, directions being on wiki, does not go through consensus,
beyond that everyone is welcome to come and hang out, ideally getting someone to vouch for you, but in practice anything can happen.
John adds key requirement for being any member is BEING EXCELLENT
Dan add there are also people being simply members of the community and look at the member levels and wiki page as a good option for those not here long enough to be recognized by face, put out as 3rd option which is very informal, but helps this place
Jason in SF for the next 10 days, figured he would just show up. He went to a conference in New York a while ago and heard Mitch Altman speak
Diana came here with her girlfriend and she showed her around, wants to learn how to hack and build things.

Kevin

qbit week 4+

javier week 4+

Jarrod – stale forms are deleted after 3 months

John – usually people are willing to sign if the members show up and make good

[edit] Consensus items

Kevin Where the magic of consensus happens.........
explain cons.

>Vee- the way cons works, occupy too, lateral sharing of power, everyone should be happy with a decision, everyone votes on something, only takes on person to block it, they have to feel really strongly with that, and if they are overridden, most people stand aside, purpose of cons is to make sure there is unanimity and to make sure everyone is happy, cons is usually used her to deal with banning, so M's have to take this responsibility very seriously, cons

John – there is no limit to blocking, but it is preferred in the block is explained, and preferred to come up with alternate solution

Vee- does that create a new proposal?

Kevin – good detail – if a prop is amended, requires another 2 weeks through process to arrive at cons.

Dan- consensus is very important for our structure where enforcement is up to the people, where people take their time and energy, and requires, if you're going to do something that needs consensus, it requires real consensus,

Monad- doesn't even have to be majority, but requires no one be willing to block

Kevin – any concerns?

Foodhacker – would like to see him attached to associate member, that someone be responsible for him for a period of time, and then reconsider that restriction

John – I don't think we should put any procedural condition. Community has made it clear that there is no sleeping on top of the elevator, and the will of the community is no sleeping anywhere. So I think that the whole banning/taking a break. So I think that the strong push for ban was Tom pushing hard for a ban, but I don't think attaching onerous procedures is necessary, just don't do boneheaded things like that again, PLEASE

Rayc- when that meeting happened, felt like an agenda item rather than being spoken for, after decision someone said maybe a couple months maybe t3 months, felt shut down.

We banned you, cannot reopen discussion because we banned you, yeah it sucks for you, you don't get to bring it back up once its consensed, if you could do that then we could talk forever.

Monad- it was a compromise from perma ban

John – rayc respectfully the 6 mo ban was a compromise originated by john, because sleeping on elevator is inappropriate but someone did block the perma ban and it was discussed at length, and john pushed hard for it no to be a perma ban, despite Toms desire, it wasn't rushed through

Vee- concerned greatly for many reasons, 1, all raycs contributions, (member wall) hes done a lot for nb, been here the longest, cares a lot for people, has calmed down Vee for many times, ie argument with Sid over fuse box. 2, when she straightens up the library, he cooks dinner for her. Considerate so he thinks he should be unbanned

Kevin would like to make a point that consensus CAN unban rayc

Casey – when was Rayc here about the circuit board? Sunday? Wants to know day

Vee- possibly

john – quick redirect, fusebox issue is ongoing

Casey- Rayc, why were you at noisebridge,

Rayc- Sid invited me to help him not die

Casey – you are banned

rayc- I know,

Casey- not productive conversation, I like you, I am disappointed in this conversation, disappointed you continue to come here. Considering blocking unban because of attitude

rayc- tense and stressed, I am here to discuss this not have attitude

Casey – why were you here

rayc- to help Sid

Casey – invalid response, and I believe that overrides the unban of rayc I am considering blocking unban

rayc- I wanted to be here working with seed because of his talent and experience and needs help, so I'm here because I care about noisebridge and feel its the right thing to do, moral courage, building inspector, accusations of calling bldg inspector, I wouldn't be doing this if I don't ha

Casey – understanding i'm really mad at you, how could you have done that better
rayc – better....

John 0- there are serious concerns about how he returned rarely I don't know how n the community valid this is but there are many I
Casey -this is a digression

rayc- I wanted to make a point how there are quite a few people who thought I called the bldg inspector, and I thought I would show up to show that I wasn't the
one calling the bldg inspector

Casey I don't doubt your motivations, but I want you to understand i'm mad, how could you have done it better

rayc- I didn't understand consensus until I discussed it with seed, but should have asked to come back on a Tuesday, but didn't have that ability until I came back communication isn't my strongest point, and I like building on things, wants to learn how to communicate more effectively, and I felt like that was the faux pas that led to this, and if seed is mentoring me, maybe I can be unbanned and work under somebody with a mentor.

Casey – I agree, but want to block unban for another month.
Monad, I like rayc, great contributor, but spitting all over our faces in consensus, and seed inviting someone in whose banned, should now better
seed last meeting, didn't we say we would invite him ?

Dan – yes a meeting

monad- rayc has been coming here during the day even before that. Thinks the way he uses the space is not healthy, and maybe a 6 month break would be good, before ban you were walking around like a zombie, using this as hangout and living space,
Jarrod – you have a lot of support in the day to day community thats here, no one kicks you out. Sounds like proposal is being blocked, are you coming back anyways?

Rayc- compromise – instead of full out ban, let me limit my activities to set number of hours during the day, until I am unbanned

Casey – not okay, you flagrantly disobeyed the rules of noisebridge

Dan- Ive talked with Robert and other people in the space about Roberts presence and Ive explain it as civil disobedience, which is the courage to say im making a point, but im going to take whatever comes for making that point, very complicated, Ive appreciate d the point by saying hey where is consensus day to day, but the consensus in the meeting says otherwise, Ive been supporting your stance here, and im going to wrap it up and say I don't know im confused and conflicted, id like to see serious concerns that Casey has brought up and

Sid – I need help with all this, when I put out the call to come help me, rayc responded,
John I think the way the ban was handled, what if rayc led by tom was unexcellent, however consensus should be respected in noisebridge and would like to offer compromise, Casey, what if rayc stays away for 30 days

Casey – i don't accept, it wasn't led by tom, it was consensus, and I don't agree with modifying the consensus.

Kevin – Casey has strong feelings, simmer down and close the stack after we hear from others

John- I did respect that Casey was upset and offered a compromise

vee- its not rayc's fault that he came back, I felt bad about the way he was banned, lets face it not all of us have equal say, we don't get to vote on proposals, associate members just get to be here, so she doesn't respect the consensus process, its elitist, Kara comes here, shes banned, and no one gets to defend themselves, don't blame rayc blame me.

Rayc- during the meeting if you can recall, when I spoke for myself, tom interrupted, and I felt like I had no representation, so thats why I disobeyed. Others people have done more negative things, and haven't been banned. I messed up, I know I messed up, the punishment doesn't weight the action, if we can discuss the concerns with sleeping in front of the elevator, health, injury issue, nb could get shut down, credibility issue. Stupid, negligent, bad decision, as for shut down, there are so many other things that could get nb shut down that aren't being spoken about. The punishment is out of proportion,
Casey my position remains the same

Adrian- why isn't vee a member? There is no prereq , if you are disillusioned by consensus. Why not get membership?

Kevin – consensus is a tough process, if everyone through the door could participate, wed not get anything done

Adrian – its not the first time Ive heard someone disillusioned by not being a member, and since I've been coming here barriers to M has been removed

rayc- membership gets blocked for silly specific reasons, like Howard, im not the only person concerned about this, this is fascist, when it was stated that tom was making sure the people would be selected

John – for the record whatever deviations occur, saying cons doesn't work is disrespectful because thats the way nb runs, but if tom was misusing it he will be
accountable

Adrian – I think that when naomi's mum came out and participating, she had good points about consensus as a process, and I disagree fundamentally with the term block as a catchall which they don't need to give any reason for. Cons is supposed to be compromise, if there are actors acting in bad faith, and are forwarding their agenda, then the consensus process is broken, and we could debate that forever, but it wont really make this discussion easier. Is consensus as its been practiced that last year flawed? Probably. Dose that excuse elevator sleeping? Meh? Yes no? From my seat im less worried about your approach at civil disobedience, and whether you are going to do something like this again, and are you going to pay any grievance? Trying to not pass judgment here, I get the feeling that your disobedience against how nb is run is rubbing people the wrong way.

Rayc- first off, I think tom is not all the problem, the operation of tom is the complete problem, I like what you and Naomi's mum touched on, but I feel that the
consensus process is used more as an algorithm than being used for people to work things out, and I feel what consensus should be is something else, I am here to state that I would not pull another bone head move like that, and the reason it happened is I wasn't communicating and I think if I was going to come back, I need a mentor like Sid to help me work things out. There is a community space, I haven't always made the best relationships , may have been tattered, arrogant, but I want to work toward solutions, additional support. Asking can I work on this with these people, clear up loose ends. Another thing, I moved the member shelves, in the name of excellence, the reason im bringing that up , that became an overwhelming force for me at noisebridge, causing me to act a certain way, adding additional stress. Ive always acted towards best practices, working towards clarity, I haven't been able to reach out, or felt comfortable in the space, I haven't found someone o sit down with and say this is whats going on.

Nicole- I haven't known anyone in the space willing to learn more than rayc
Sid before I took rayc back I took a poll of people in the space, at least 80 percent of people who come to noisebridge agreed to sign a petition to bring rayc back, including Mitch Altman. If Mitch's judgment was bringing rayc back

Casey – because he disrespected the cons process, it doesn't change my position. From an emotional perspective, we were this close to banning rayc through consensus but made it out by the skin of his teeth. The fact that hes been continuing to come here, the fact that you think its acceptable to do civil disobedience to your peers is unacceptable.

Sid isn't this place about hacking?

Casey No!!

Sid im urging you guys to reconsider, this place is about hacking anything

Casey im always against people hacking noisebridge

John first, saying the only person who could possibly help Sid is rayc is a crock, if you put the word out to the list there is a chance people would help propose another compromise, rayc would you consider doocratically removing yourself for 30 days because that would help reduce tension and concerns that you are misusing the space that would give the members

rayc I think that would be appropriate Okay.

Guy next to john I don't know rayc, I have experience with community, im not going to speak to specific issue, but the larger issue is the integrity of the consensus process vs people individual agency are coming together, because he was banned and the censuses of the voting members of the group who are responsible for the direction of the group, he showed up anyways, the discussion should be around whether the integrity of the rules that we set up a vs respected member of the community taking rules in to his own hands

Adrian the only ting I want to bring up about the banning process is that the reason there ware no ridiculous requirements around the . Because if people are threatening themselves or others in the space, they should be asked to leave so the immediate threat is removed but this isn't about you in this particular instances we should make it more difficult to an people and why we don't currently require consensus to an people and why we don't just ask them to leave th e space, I think we should ask the list for a better understanding of peoples opinions who aren't here
monad consensus has nothing to do with voting, there is no voting, only a lack of a block. Its no a definitive majority, they could be against it but if no one blocks it could pass.

Dan – I just want to remind people of the octant, and speak to Robert about the time in which this happened was time if great turmoil, and disillusionment about whether we were in fact a consensused based org and whether our structure dynhad betrayed us, we had a situation that the board as it existed just sort of had a coup attempt,. And there was no more cons and thats the context where Roberts civil disobedience. Now that we've turned a corner, this is a different group, toms not here, Kevin, Casey, monad, john and what im hearing a lot is that theres gotta be balance and theres a real concern about take it out of your specifics, and the general problem of people respecting a ban, i've heard Casey wont consider removing a ban for 30 days, same form john, maybe 30 days would do magic, and id encourage conversations with Casey, sunsunquist, peoples who comfort is integral to
remind people of context, and maybe its no appropriate anymore.

Jarrod rayc you do a lot of great stuff at noisebridge, and Ive learned a lot from you, so I find it extremely frustrating to be in the space when you're here, because it is really difficult to see someone so great for nb being so disrespectful of its core principle after being here in a ban, I wish you and believe it would have been possible, to work out a reduction of the 6 mos to probation period, where through cons we could have brought you back to the space, when I come in to the space, and you are here, I feel like I am disrespecting nb by letting you stay, pressure from Dan and Sid. I care less about computers than I do about consensus.

Rayc on of the reasons why I have worked on many projects in the space is I see lots of efficiency, and I see ease, place of exploration, learn new things, I feel that by at least doing some civil disobedience is my version of hacking consensus, and there is something flawed. We haven't been taking a human approach, there is a lot of community support, and I have been a part of the community, and because of the context I have been shut down without any alternative, I never got a better offer, so this is my version of saying hey im here hacking noisebridge, and I feel it was definitely unjust despite the influential power and the mob mentality I felt was being used against me, I am admitting to it and appalled with what I did, understand that the way I feel this punishment has been handed down to me is unfair, being punished in the wrong way. Cutting off contact wont solve the issue, it wasn't the ban that broke me but the way it was handled. If were a community we should be working with the community.

Kevin 3 min tops per person

John rayc every M became an M by respecting the consensus process, one of the key tenants. We have reached out to you and tried, you are testing patience because we know whatever tom did he did but thats separate from what tom did, its irrelevant to the question, because a lot of people are concerned about you, but they honestly believe you need to take a longer break from nb to be sure you are contributing positively, by arguing the point
rayc if you look at the membership history, there are people who did not respect the consensus process
john rayc I think you need to be quiet and not test patience
bill I haven't become a member, except that I come around, through this whole period, watching the tone of the meetings over the last many times, its a really great meeting now but it was not a great meeting when tom was MC or whatever, consensus has to function when everyones mind is able to participate. When you have someone thats really loud or very eloquent vs hose people who are so quiet, they may be quiet because they cant say what they want to say. Its an uneven process to have this disparity and expect consensus. You can say you have consensus but does it really mean consensus when some people never really got to say what they thought, or the issue was so deep they don't get to say what they mean, I respect that you get to go through meetings
rayc some members had first heard of that issue that night
bill this consensus process is damaged by the way people interact here.
Deja im just watching, when i first came to the space, rayc is the reason is tuck around, learned to be effective, always have projects to do, taught me what hacking meant, more than half of you rayc did the exact same thing for, if a person if a part of this family, I feel like there is no sensitivity, and I feel like im being trampled over by a power struggle where im being given a 1 and others are being given a 9. its not fair. I really do agree with bill. If you want to be real, standing off listening how this went down, its clear he was railroaded, if you cant see that I don't know what to tell you. We're trying to have an effective community there is ego stroking going on, you know who you are, I would have more respect for it if I saw people scrubbing floors and washing dishes, right now we're arguing about stupid bullshit and getting nowhere.
Kevin we are no longer talking about unbanning rayc,
Angel when I first came here, rayc is the one that helped me. Me and him are becoming really good friends, its unfair hes being banned.
Rayc my final closing thoughts on the matter, I understand this is not a cons based comm, its whatever members show up and decide to be a part of the community, I understand its not the people who show u-p, but the people who show up at the meetings. There are enough people in the room right now who are working on this is part martyrdom that I am showing up right now, and I feel like I shifted the whole community in a positive direction, you can ban me forever, but people can now see that there is abuse and how the balance of nb has shifted. So many people show up all the time helping the space but are never acknowledged, if you guys want me to leave, please ask me to leave and
Adrian – another thing I want to add, I don't really mind the civil disobedience, there are larger things at stake no one has touched on that has to do with the effects of enforcing the rules. I'm okay with you with you coming back but if you see people in the space coming,
rayc I would feel that if situations were simpler, people should participate in civil disobedience I guess what you can say what I did is hacking ,ive discovered lots of flaws with our social system and exposed them, there are other people who have been unfairly banned, but have been pushed through. I am really overwhelmed, i was banned by a community that I have been a part of for many years, I didn't even have the power to speak.

Kevin my insight is that there was a period of time where ive been doing consensus solid for a year, when this happened it took three weeks, not a blink of the eye, it didn't happen like that I do have a lot of empathy for you, a lot of people weren't heard at meetings for a while, maybe because too quiet, or because they weren't members, I don't think thats a healthy process either, I like the direction we're moving in.
in the past year, its hard or easy getting things thru consensus based on whose in the room . One shouldn't block consensus. I will leave if this happens, ive been trying to promote the practice of I have a concern, I also appreciate the community building process that this has passed.
Hackerspace guy- I object to personal attacks, x person said I did y thing. Attacking someone in a discussion does nothing besides making you try to seem better than them. It says something about the participants. I would encourage others to refrain for attacks
rayc- the reason why this took 3 weeks is because other things came up. It kept getting moved back, the lack of actually working on it as a topic of priority are part of the similar dynamics that were happening I at the time, I came to those meetings, I only came at a certain time, other things were pushed- through. I took like a month.5 where I haven't been here, and having alone time I realised if someone is asked to take a break,
Adrian– naomi is trying to do a conflict resolution group trying to get people talking about this stuff, so hopefully there will be a better way to do this moving forward, poke Naomi about this later. Electing a specific person to drive conflict res over doesnt seem to be reliable.
John you said no one spoke up for you, are you telling me you didn't know my contact info or others that would be willing to speak up.
Rayc my direct response, I didn't feel comfortable enough,
Adrian make sure you don't burn yourself out, lots of people forget to rest, don't work 18-20 hour shifts, more likely to minimize drama and communication breakdown Get some fucking sleep./

Brief announcement – super way important, member shelf in front of the circuit panels – biggest no no ever
Sid – code says 6 ft.

But if your stuff is on member shelf E, it must go. It can be on any other shelf.
Sid- propose move down one shelf
Prepare for shelf E to be monkeyed with.
Jarrod- is that clear floor space?
Sid – yes has to be clear, code says 6 feet.

Vee – when someone mentioned consensus and community, I don't really think we should assume we mean the same things, there is consensus of Members, and then there is consensus of community, what are w4e really talking about here, there are so many different understanding, and then the community. In the real world that we reside in. the real community is the people who come in here cook, fix things.
I would really like you to think about granting more power to extend blocking powers to people beyond Members,
Kevin before we dive in, any other consensus items?
Sid real quick, the elevator is dropping more and more towards the front side, started scraping wall
Kevin contact building inspector
curly hair, contact Andy?
John will post a note
curly hair DONT FUCKING HACK THE ELEVATOR
John I just want to make a quick point that theres nothing stopping associate members to find a Member to block on their behalf, done it before, will do it again. Saying only Members have absolute authority and nothing else matters is not the case.
Adrian – the whole point in having the capital M thing, requires that you're already participating in the community, so I don't by the idea that theres a disconnected between capital M members and community, they're supposed to be one in the same, the only thing stopping M's from being a part of the community is only

Sid there is still confusion in the process

Adrian if you want the community to be more present then you too could start sponsoring more Members so we could have more people voting. I encourage you to drag more people in to the capital M member part of the community.
Deja Which capital M member will sponsor me?
Lets try to make this
deja we get the crazy motherfuckers out here, I cooked all this food for the meeting , we do all these things.
Dan- I want to respond to vees comment about how Member's feel about consensus and I really like consensus, I think its necessary for practical and philosophical reason,s you need it, and I was really disappointed and concerned when there was a m ove away from consensus in the last 6 moths s, we are all aware of the drama and it was great to see the consensus of the community is we like consensus. Answering Adrian, I personally have mixed reasons that I wouldn't block, I like that people have influence not power. Since then I have stuck my neck out to call M's out for things they have done, I wouldn't test the waters. I wouldn't test them especially if they don't have enough social capital to
I think if anything is going to change we need to rock the boat a little, if someone feels threatened, please all as one come together and have this discussion with everybody, because if you guys don't do it , nothing is going to change and I encourage civil disobedience like that.
Dan I like having influence but not power, too much responsibility.
Jarrod, so should the panel in the shop/ kitchen required to have space?
Adrian lets make a mark on the floor.
Jarrod its kind of nice not being an M and doing stuff in the community. I don't feel like I don't contribute to the community.

173.228.107.115: /* Working Group Members */

'''Bringing the Noisebridge community together to create a better space for all.'''

The goal of the Community Working Group is to solve problems as a group that we have historically failed to solve as individuals.

For example:

* keeping the space clean and physically safe.
* resolving interpersonal conflicts before they become "drama".
* maintaining commonly used facilities by delegating responsiblity (and making sure to award recognition!)
* hosting social events that encourage greater connectedness, without putting extra pressure on the space.

=== Working Group Members ===

[[User:AdrianChadd]]

''.....need moar members''

=== Philosophy of Operation ===

As a "fractal" working group:

* the Community Working Group may spin off subgroups as needed or desired, groups which can expect no "control" from its parent group, but which should probably check in from time to time. The idea should always be to keep the community informally informed of all of the goings-on at Noisebridge.
* the CWG may change its style of decision-making to whatever works for the group. Experimentation is encouraged. Full consensus should be considered the "default setting".
* the CWG should use the lessons learned from its operation to make proposals and recommendations to the Noisebridge General Meeting.

=== Philosophy of Conflict Resolution ===

We'd like to see people as individuals worthy of continued participation in Noisebridge, even when they make mistakes. We believe that misunderstandings happen, and that no one is perfect. We believe that the vast majority of people have good intentions and really just want to hack!

We also believe that harassment is a serious problem and not to be taken lightly. So while some disagreements may be treated as minor interpersonal misunderstandings, some should be referred out to another group specifically set up to handle harassment. ([[User:flamsmark]] is working on this group)

Finally, we agree that certain behaviors -- particularly sleeping in the space and drug use -- can endanger our relationship with our landlord and jeopardize our lease. We hope to be able to refer individuals to local hostels, clinics, and shelters to assist them, rather than having them use Noisebridge as a halfway house or having Noisebridge throw them out.

=== Working Group Meetings ===

schedule goes here, also links to meeting notes

=== Possible CWG Projects ===

* making a New Member Packet containing info about processes, participation, etc, and probably stickers or something too
* refactoring the redshirts role and implementation
* rainbow grocery's consensus and conflict mediation workshop
* outreach/help/services for the disadvantaged/dwelling-impaired (THIS IS IMPORTANT, sure we are not a homeless shelter but our structure and openness cause us to be a vector for this demographic. i think it behooves us as an organization and as people to address this in an empathic and controlled manner.)
* ensuring clean/safe facilities (bathrooms, basically, but maybe kitchen -- depends on strength of the [[KitchenWorkingGroup]])

=== Possible CWG Scenarios ===

* hosting a dialog between people who think the kitchen promotes the use of Noisebridge as a homeless shelter versus people who use the kitchen responsibly.
** thinking about the kitchen existing at all: if we minimize the "dishes and pots" aspect of the kitchen, and set it up to facilitate hacking type stuff like molecular gastronomy, and add a dishwasher, it could get better.

* addressing problematic behavior on the part of individuals and considering whether they should be referred to a separate mediation/harassment group.

Maybe (but maybe not):

* implementing and maintaining management software (http://spiff.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ via torrie, and https://www.loomio.org/ , and https://slack.com/ and http://www.discourse.org/

=== NOT in the CWG's purview ===

* kitchen rebuild (content/process) -- [[KitchenWorkingGroup]] should attack this one.
* refactoring consensus process and decision negotiation (consensus is not a monolithic model, and its also complex and mutable, kinda like agile/scrum methodology. participants in it should be informed and prepared.) http://web.mit.edu/publicdisputes/practice/cbh_ch1.html

Google "Adrian Chadd". I do open source wifi. I'm currently at Netflix doing bad things to FreeBSD for their video delivery mechanism.

I was a core developer on Squid (the web proxy/cache software) for almost ten years.

I also have a vast array of estoric knowledge from the 80s when 8 and 16-bit microcomputers ran wild. I was a child then but somehow I retained more than I thought.

173.228.107.115: /* Anaphylaxis */

I am also known as Valkyrie. It's an old name that I resurrect from time to time and will be more likely to respond to it than my real name. The internet also knows me as longobord. That name is never taken. The two are actually interrelated, if you can believe that.

I used to know more than I do now. Long ago I studied the bit with the electrons floating around. I miss it. I liked signal theory a lot.

I am not so good at the lifting heavy things business, but that doesn't always stop me, considering my ongoing love affair with molten metal.

[http://wiki.orbswarm.com/images/a/a1/Orb-R2-Christie.JPG Me and robots] I am the one who's not a robot. I help with the orb robot on my left.

Valkyrie` and Valkyrie`` and sometimes even Valkyrie- on irc 

===interest===
I have an odd constellation of interests. These are pretty much the leading ones, in no particular order:
* The Law: I now study law full time.
* Small communications device hacking/listening
* Protocol analysis and reversing
* Making gadgety things do things they weren't intended.
* Personal liberty and privacy, technically and legally.
* Space exploration, intermediate steps headed towards the moon as a model for outward expansion
* Robots because I don't understand why we don't have these already.
* A bit of ham radio, although I hate talking.
* Light-based art, including LEDs and fire and pyrotechnics

===projects===
Still getting these sorted. Perpetually. Here are a couple of things that have been rattling around in my head:
* Designing and building robots that can move independently or when attached to each other.
* Probably something with LEDs, including acrylic light pipes. Maybe some cast resin.
** Work with Zedd on getting the counter top lit
** LED fingernails
*** Need to find the smallest battery available.
*** Get some SMD resistors to match.
** LED "beading" on clothing
** LED "light" staff. Completed, did a 5MoF talk on this easy project.
* Wearable interfaces Preferably input devices, as heads up displays are more obtainable.
* Learning new things, like German, only that's a pretty old thing really.

I have (had?) all the parts to build a tesla coil I think I should do that someday.
I also like to arrange for people to come to the space to talk about cool stuff.

===Allergies===
I have many allergies. I get tired of reminding people of my current list of allergies my doctor has advised me about, so I wanted to include it here.

====Anaphylaxis====
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis Anaphylaxis] is an immediately life-threatening form of an allergic reaction. I have only had this once in my life, but I am at a very real risk, so the more people who know about it the better. If I collapse and turn blue, chances are I am in anaphylactic shock. I always try to carry an epi-pen somewhere on my person. (Jacket chest pocket or handbag or something.) Ask me to see it, I'm happy to show it to you. I even have a trainer if you want to practice. Take it out, pop the cap and stab me with it in the thigh RIGHT AWAY. Although I tend to react slowly, if I'm already blue it means I'm already dying.

====Food====
I've successfully reintroduced all the problem foods back into my diet, but I still avoid wheat when it's not terribly inconvenient. (And it can be terribly inconvenient to not drink beer.)

====Environmental====
'''Cats''': I have had many second-hand reactions to cats. I am so allergic, I am sometimes allergic to people who have cats, which is very unfortunate. Oh, and ferrets happen to fall in this category. It's my cat allergy that has caused anyphylaxis in the past, so if I get really excited about it, it's just my concern about continuing to remain alive.

'''Mold''': This crops up in odd things. Artificial smoke machines are horrid for this. Cheap cigarettes sometimes have mold. "fresh air" after a light rain is often quite full of mold. It doesn't matter if it's living or dead, it will still bother me.

'''Dust''': I'm not intending to be rude when I decline to help clean up anything that's been sitting for longer than week or two. Vacuuming often makes this worse, even with a great filter, simply because you're stirring it up.

'''Other''': I'm also allergic to dogs, pollens, fragrances and other random stuff, but these are either not as serious or immediate as the rest.

'''Irritants''': If I'm having an allergic reaction to something else, any stuff in the air (smoke, cleaning chemicals, even dish soap) even if I'm not allergic, will worsen the condition.
