173.228.116.16: /* 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.

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.

Sensebridge

173.228.116.16: Undo revision 20445 by Mykaila298 (Talk)

=Sensebridge: The Noisebridge Cyborg Group=
[[Image:CoinTypePagerMotors.jpg|right|350px|title|Coin Type pager Motor]]

"If you can't beat the robot armies, join them."

We are concerned with human-machine interfaces.

==Motivations==

We want to "make the invisible visible", to bridge our senses. Many group members were inspired years ago by this [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.04/esp.html awesome Wired article], which describes obtaining an unerring sense of direction via a compass belt. Is the brain really plastic enough to adapt to entirely new senses? How natural would it feel after you've fully adapted? Then what happens when you take the device off?

What new sense do you want? What existing sense might it map onto?

==Terminology==

To avoid confusion (where possible) we'll try to use these terms.

"Sensor" is the device that detects external stuff that the body (probably) can't detect. Sensors can be divided into those that sense the world, and those that digitize a user's actions. The latter are more commonly called "human input devices", (HID's).

"Display" is the way the device shows data to the body (not necessarily visually). This gets around the device-centric / body-centric problem that shows up when using the terms input & output.

"Armature" is the physical component of the device: the belt, hat, armband, etc; distinct from the electronics.

==Mailing List==

We have created a [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/cyborg cyborg mailing list] on the Noisebridge server. Please join us!

==Component Sourcing==

Here are pages for discussing:

===[[Sensors|sensors]]===
detect a property of the world

===[[Displays|displays]]===
communicate it to the body/mind
===[[Armatures|armatures]]===
hold the above together and in the proper place on the body

They also include a list of all known/speculated types of each.

==Sensor and Display API==

*What might that mean?
**A standard protocol that can:
**#encompass most sensory data of the sort we are interested in researching
**#allow for presentation of any those data through any of a wide variety of modalities

*Why?
**Plug-and-play(ish) interoperability of sensors and displays. Build three sensors and three displays, and we have 9 possible combinations, und so weiter.
**Simplify development by separating sensing and presentation design/tasks.

*How?
**On the data sensing end:
**#Identify a primary set of interesting stimuli, consider various encodings thereof.
**#Abstract away from the physical phenomena the stimuli represent and look instead at common patterns in the data streams.
**#???
**On the data display end:
**#Identify and prototype a number of display methods.
**#For each method think of:
**#*What modulations of the signal are possible; intensity, spacing, direction, timing...? Based on that, what is the theoretical bandwidth of that method?
**#*How sensitive is the average person there? How much of the signal can the brain interpret meaningfully (too much noise vs. too weak of a signal)? Based on that, what is the practical bandwidth that we might expect?

Board meeting 2009-10-15

2011-09-01T18:08:03Z

173.228.116.16: Undo revision 20426 by 75.101.62.89 (Talk)

Mitch Altman, Rachel McConnell, Andy Isaacson, and Shannon Lee were present at 2169; David Molnar and Jacob Appelbaum called in by phone.

1. Mitch moved that Jeffrey Malone be appointed treasurer. All were in favor.

2. We discussed the member tracking problem. The treasurer and secretary cooperate to maintain a member list, and the list can get out of date. No action was taken, but the treasurer and secretary agreed to continue to cooperate.

3. We discussed if Noisebridge has or needs a member removal process (it does). No action was taken.

4. Andy moved that Seth Schoen be appointed secretary, subject to two conditions:
* that Seth agree to be secretary
* that the membership formally consense on Seth as secretary
The motion was carried with no opposition.

5. We discussed Shannon Lee as new board member, replacing Noah Balmer. Rachel is continuing the process of achieving unanimous consent from the membership; until that happens, Shannon is not formally appointed.

6. We recognized Noah Balmer's resignation as board member (this being our first board meeting since his resignation in the spring).

7. We discussed overall governance proposals, including
* making the board much larger (most or all members)
* forming an "advisory board" of interested members to provide a forum for governance issues to offload them from the Tuesday meetings
* modifying the consensus process (but how?)
* establishing a standing committee to provide a place to refer governance business to from the Tuesday meetings
None of these require board action -- a membership consensus would be necessary in any case, and is entirely sufficient (except for changing the size of the Board of Directors, which could go up to 11 with a board resolution or higher with a change to the bylaws.) The board took no action.

8. Voting method for the board election. We need to elect a new board; we should have a non-sucky method. Andy volunteered to research and write up a proposal, which will be sent out by 2009-10-18 and will be up for discussion at the Tuesday meeting 2009-10-20.

9. All business complete, we adjourned at 7:29 so that Andy could make it to the Gogol Bordello show. The show was great.

173.228.116.16: /* 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.
