199.188.193.9: /* Global Hacker Radio Content */

United States Hackerspace Radio Network 

NB Radio 
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Radio 
will take the lead in working to create a total United States Hacker Radio Network. This will be a website & mailing list that will connect United States' hackerspaces to enable the USA wide production of Hacker Radio content. Hackerspaces nationwide will be able to tap into this content for use in their own local city hackerspace FCC liscensed FM Broadcast band radio station.

We will work together to help hackerspaces around the United States prepare their local city FCC radio license applications.

For instance, Clif, who is from Gainesville, FL, and is now living in the San Francisco bay area and affiliated with Noisebridge, might be able to assist http://www.meetup.com/gainesville-hackerspace/ with coordinating their own station, as well as possibly others.

== Global Hacker Radio Content ==

Linkreincarnate: I want to organize other hackerspaces to create content for our broadcasts

AnB: will consign Nb classes
AnB: Wants to see some group with a morning show, could rotate daily.

1.'''News''' 
LinkReincarnate: 3 hour per week as a 1 hour program every other work day. Hacker news program covering Hacking, science, gaming, and technology news and opinion. 

2.'''Public Affairs''' 

3.'''Education''' 
Monad: I want to make a short program about using tools. 
Jeffrey Carl Faden: I can provide an audio stream of my Monday 19:00 web front-end class's stream.

4.'''Music/Art/Poetry''' 

Clif P: I'm a multi-instrumentalist and could do a DJ set of post-rock/doom and good electroacoustic music. 
Martin: Blues music show.

== Low Power FM (LPFM) Noncommercial Educational Radio Broadcast Stations Return to Top

Low power FM stations operate with 1 to 100 watts of power and cover a radius up to approximately 5.6 km (3.5 miles). Current information about the low power FM filing service is maintained on the LPFM page. The Audio Division has also assembled a program to help find available FM channels for LPFM stations.

Applications for new LPFM stations can only be filed on FCC Form 318 during the dates specified for an application filing window. Applications received at other times will be returned without consideration. We cannot provide advance information as to when the next application filing window period may be, but when that information is announced, it will be in the form of a Public Notice and posted at several places on the FCC's website.

== Content/Sign Up Sheet==

News,
Independent opinions,
Short stories,
Poetry,
Music,
Live performances.

Our first step with finding content to fill the airwaves with will be to find people willing to use this transmitter as a means to express themselves. After that, building a program schedule will help to keep us from getting confused. Below you'll find the program schedule/ sign up sheet.

'''Person, Show description. Declare if possible when you are able to broadcast.'''

1.'''News''' 
LinkReincarnate: 3 hour per week as a 1 hour program every other work day. Hacker news program covering Hacking, science, gaming, and technology news and opinion. 

2.'''Public Affairs''' 

3.'''Education''' 
Monad: I want to make a short program about using tools. 
Jeffrey Carl Faden: I can provide an audio stream of my Monday 19:00 class's stream.

4.'''Music/Art/Poetry''' 

Clif P: I'm a multi-instrumentalist and could do a DJ set of post-rock/doom and good electroacoustic music. 
Martin: Blues music show.

== Program schedule ==

This is very preliminary. We don't even have a construction license yet.

[2] http://rtlsdr.org/softwarewindows

== Financial budget ==

== Location, equipment, facilities.==

Transmitter & Antenna location:
# On top of a hill, Sutro tower, or rall building? Benefit: Larger coverage area, more listeners.
# At Noisebridge facility: Benefit: Low cost. Disadvanages: Fewer listeners because smaller coverage are due to signal being blocked by local hills & buildings.

Studio options: 
# Turning the DJ booth into an actual real live DJ booth.
# Having the station out in the open to allow a for a more decentralized radio transmitter. Could cause problems if tampered with. It may be in our best interest to use the DJ booth.

== Action Items ==

========== My original message suggesting NB start a radio station : Wed, 6 Feb 2013 12:37 PM (0 years 7 months ago): to CQ list

[CQ] K-Noisebridge - NB should start an FM radio station. "The Bridge"

From: To: Date: "giovanni_re" <john_re@fastmail.us> noisebridge -discuss@lists.noisebridge.net , cq@lists.noisebridge.net Wed, 6 Feb 2013 12:37 PM (0 years 7 months ago)

Community outreach.

Y'know how radiostations call themselves by word names nowdays, instead of call signs? Like Alice, The Bone, The Revolution. ?

We should call it. "The Bridge".

199.188.193.9:

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

=Event Calendar=
Not all events make it onto this calendarMany 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 recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on [[Hosting_an_Event|hosting an event]] at Noisebridge.

199.188.193.9:

09/21/2013 Hi this is Bud, Game Designer. I am updating this page because it is woefully out of date. There are currently '''no''' planned events to my knowledge. However I am here quite often, just look for the orange jacket or ask any of the regulars.

'''Just Starting? or "What Engine should I use?"'''

For those of you looking into starting game development there are a lot of engines available these days. However I only recommend 1 and that is Unity. Most of it's features are now completely free; including the function to launch commercial games on iOS. It is also becoming the industry standard for a variety of reasons.

Such as:

♠Lots of documentation, tutorials and even online classes from schools to learn Unity.

♥The ability to build once and launch on multiple platforms.

♦Relatively easy coding framework to learn.

♣Also as a designer it cannot be understated the usefulness of being able to play the game at any moment without waiting for a build cycle, and the ability for developers to list important features as Public Var's which unity will automatically look for and generate slider scales that designers can modify without having to touch the code base.

♠Most importantly Unity has the largest user base. This is important because at some point you will need to work with others to make great games, and if everyone else is already using Unity they will not likely switch to your engine or preference....unless you pay them.

♥The Unity asset store is another way for developers, artists and musicians to make money by creating game tools/assets. But it's also a way to develop your own games much much faster.

'''Unity is a 3D engine, can it make 2D Games?'''

Yes.

'''Game Design Articles, Tutorials and more about Me'''

Visit www.BudLeiser.com [http://www.budleiser.com]

Note: Everything below this line is useful, but has not been updated in god knows when. I am leaving it here mostly for archival sake.

----

*'''Gamebridge''': All kinds of game development are welcome at Gamebridge including different platforms, "non-technical" game artists, writers, programming styles and technologies.
*'''Unityversity''': The Unityversity department focuses on [http://www.unity3d.com Unity Engine] collaboration and learning. Unity is free to make games with and absurdly easy to learn in a group environment like Unityversity where you can ask questions of your fellow developers.

==Planned Departments==
New departments of Gamebridge can be established.
*'''Unrealiversity''': We first need developers interested in teaching Unreal.

==Things To Bring==
*Laptops, especially ones with decent 3D graphics cards. To run [http://www.unity3d.com Unity3D] you'll need one running Mac or Windows.
*Pre-install [http://www.unity3d.com Unity] and some of the Unity tutorials if you can so you can get started right away with Unityversity.
*iPhones, Androids & other cool game hardware devices for building games on
*Connectors to hook your laptop to the big projector screen to show off your games and development processes to the group

== Inspiration ==
Game development is a lot of fun. Game development is an awesome way to learn computer programming. And games can inspire players to learn all kinds of things about the world.

A lot of us are into game development and a lot of us would like to learn how, so it makes sense to get together and share our interests and experience.

== The Open Primer Project ==
Some of us are working on an open-source game called [http://www.openprimer.org Primer] which uses gameplay to weave learning all kinds of useful things into an epic adventure through the history of the cosmos and the future of civilization.

== Contact ==
If you want to know more about Game Development Club, just come by some time or contact Alex Peake at openprimer [atsymbol] gmail.com.

== Meetup Log / Class Curriculum Courseware ==
[[GameDevelopmentCourseware]]

== Meetup History ==
We had our first meetup November 4th and it was a lot of fun. We made a game about evil companion cubes that want to give you a hug for very explosive definitions of hug.

= Game Development Resources =
== Game Engines ==
Game engines make it pretty easy to develop games by giving you lots of development tools for world building and scripting.

We're interested in other kinds of game development too, including non-computer game designs like dice-based RPGs, board games and card games.

== Unity ==
[http://www.unity3d.com Unity] is an awesome game development engine based on Mono that compiles for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Web and Wii with support coming soon for PS3 and XBox. Unity has just been made free for indy developers. Unity is an extremely easy to learn game development environment with a massively helpful developer community.

We are primarily teaching and collaborating with Unity in Game Club because it is incredibly awesome and easy to learn.

===Unity On Ubuntu===
*[http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23757 Unity3D on Wine] works with only a couple small bugs so you can create Unity games on Ubuntu too!
*[http://www.winehq.org/download Install WINE] for Ubuntu

=== Unity Tutorials ===
'''START HERE:''' [http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/ Unity Tutorials] are free to download and can be completed in a day or two! Do these before coming or do them with us to get help and support.

*Javascript
**Before beginning the Unity tutorials it is useful (but not required) to understand basic javascript programming.

== Other Game Engines ==

=== Unreal ===
[http://www.udk.com/ Unreal Development Kit] is also available for free now. We'll no doubt be playing with that as well. Unreal is some seriously advanced game dev technology. It's too heavy to run on an iPhone, but it is a good way to make high-end PC and console games.

=== Objective C ===
Some people are making iPhone games directly in Cocoa.

=== Blender Game Engine ===
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Blender Blender Game Engine] is an open-source game engine integrated with the [http://www.blender.org Blender] 3D studio software. It has come a long way in recent versions and some of the games people have made with it are amazing.

=== OGRE Open Source 3D Engine ===
[http://www.ogre3d.org/ OGRE] is not a full game engine but it does have Mac, Windows, Linux and iPhone support. It has recently been used to make a big hit called Torchlight.

=== SDL ===
[http://www.libsdl.org/ SDL] is a cross-platform open-source game development library that has been used to make [http://source.bungie.org/get/ Aleph One] based on the Marathon series.

== Game Development Tools ==
Game development involves lots of tools for modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging and animating game environments.

=== Maya ===
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=13578047&siteID=123112 Maya] is the #1 3D content creation tool for games.

We're looking for people with Maya experience who can teach how to use Maya. Especially interested in learning about character rigging and animation.

=== Blender ===
[http://www.blender.org/ Blender] is an open-source 3D studio that can do mostly the same things as Maya for free. We're looking for people who want to teach Blender skills.

=== SketchUp ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/ SketchUp] is a surprisingly powerful and incredibly easy to use 3D modeling application for making basic 3D geometry to use in your game development.

=== Google 3D Warehouse ===
[http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ Google 3D Warehouse] is a searchable library of free 3D models in SketchUp format that you can download freely and use in your games. You can also upload your own creations to 3D Warehouse.

=== FreeSound Project ===
[http://www.freesound.org/searchText.php FreeSound Project] is a searchable library of free sound files that you can use in your games. You can also upload your sounds to FreeSound for others to use.

=== All CG Textures ===
[http://www.allcgtextures.com/main.php All CG Textures] has loads of quality free textures.

=== 3D Character Rigs ===
[http://hznaqnzxuoouxznqanzh.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/ Creative Crash] has many free 3D character rigs in Maya format.

==PAST UPDATES==
*UPDATE: Alex has been away from Noisebridge lately launching [http://www.primerlabs.com Primer Labs] but Gamebridge is still open for anyone who wants to gather at Noisebridge to develop games and Alex will return with an expanded version of Gamebridge and more people to learn from in the very near future. Gamebridge will be much bigger than it ever was. Stay tuned.

== Inspiration ==
Game development is a lot of fun. Game development is an awesome way to learn computer programming. And games can inspire players to learn all kinds of things about the world.

A lot of us are into game development and a lot of us would like to learn how, so it makes sense to get together and share our interests and experience.

== The Open Primer Project ==
Some of us are working on an open-source game called [http://www.openprimer.org Primer] which uses gameplay to weave learning all kinds of useful things into an epic adventure through the history of the cosmos and the future of civilization.

== Contact ==
If you want to know more about Game Development Club, just come by some time or contact Alex Peake at openprimer [atsymbol] gmail.com.

== Meetup Log / Class Curriculum Courseware ==

== Meetup History ==
We had our first meetup November 4th and it was a lot of fun. We made a game about evil companion cubes that want to give you a hug for very explosive definitions of hug.

= Game Development Resources =
== Game Engines ==
Game engines make it pretty easy to develop games by giving you lots of development tools for world building and scripting.

We're interested in other kinds of game development too, including non-computer game designs like dice-based RPGs, board games and card games.

== Unity ==
[http://www.unity3d.com Unity] is an awesome game development engine based on Mono that compiles for Mac, Windows, iPhone, Web and Wii with support coming soon for PS3 and XBox. Unity has just been made free for indy developers. Unity is an extremely easy to learn game development environment with a massively helpful developer community.

We are primarily teaching and collaborating with Unity in Game Club because it is incredibly awesome and easy to learn.

===Unity On Ubuntu===

09/21/2013 Hi this is Bud, Game Designer. I am updating this page because it is woefully out of date. There are currently '''no''' planned events to my knowledge. However I am here quite often, just look for the orange jacket or ask any of the regulars.

'''Just Starting? or "What Engine should I use?"'''

For those of you looking into starting game development there are a lot of engines available these days. However I only recommend 1 and that is Unity. Most of it's features are now completely free; including the function to launch commercial games on iOS. It is also becoming the industry standard for a variety of reasons.

Such as:
♥The ability to build once and launch on multiple platforms.
♦Relatively easy coding framework to learn.
♣Also as a designer it cannot be understated the usefulness of being able to play the game at any moment without waiting for a build cycle, and the ability for developers to list important features as Public Var's which unity will automatically look for and generate slider scales that designers can modify without having to touch the code base.
♠Most importantly Unity has the largest user base. This is important because at some point you will need to work with others to make great games, and if everyone else is already using Unity they will not likely switch to your engine or preference....unless you pay them.
♥The Unity asset store is another way for developers, artists and musicians to make money by creating game tools/assets. But it's also a way to develop your own games much much faster.

'''Unity is a 3D engine, can it make 2D Games?'''

Yes.

-- United States Hackerspace Radio Network 

NB Radio will take the lead in working to create a total United States Hacker Radio Network. This will be a website & mailing list that will connect United States' hackerspaces to enable the USA wide production of Hacker Radio content. Hackerspaces nationwide will be able to tap into this content for use in their own local city hackerspace FCC liscensed FM Broadcast band radio station.

We will work together to help hackerspaces around the United States prepare their local city FCC radio license applications.

For instance, Clif, who is from Gainesville, FL, and is now living in the San Francisco bay area and affiliated with Noisebridge, might be able to assist http://www.meetup.com/gainesville-hackerspace/ with coordinating their own station, as well as possibly others.

Meetings

199.188.193.9: /* Proposals discussed this week */

=About Meetings=

'''We meet every Tuesday at 8 PM US/Pacific at [[Getting Here|2169 Mission St., San Francisco]]'''

Every week, Noisebridge meets to discuss issues relevant to our community. The meeting is for members and non-members alike: everyone is welcome.

Agenda items tend to typically include introductions, updates on projects happening in the space and upcoming events. Meetings normally end with general socializing and in depth discussion of any topics brought up earlier. If you have a topic that you'd like to discuss at next week's meeting, please add it to the [[Next_meeting|agenda]].

Meetings -- like all things -- at Noisebridge operate by [[consensus]]. If you've never seen consensus in action before, you may find your first meeting much less perplexing if you read about [[consensus]] first.

'''Make sure to look at the [[meeting instructions]]. They have the agenda, and plenty of tips for making things run smoothly.'''

= Meeting Notes 9-10-13 =

=Short announcements and events=
* Adam and Monad are launching a daily evening activities cycle! Circuit hacking Mondays, T-Shirt Tuesdays, beginner coding Wednesdays and more planned! Bring a shirt next tuesday :)
*More support brewing for engineering Thursdays! 3Dprinting, sewing, woodshop, fabrication, etc! Come this Thursday and learn more.
*One of the 3D printers is working now! They have to be set up to a computer but pretty much working. That's pretty rad.
* Poly keyboards inc, just starting up with crowdfunding campaigns. Show and tell on slideshare.net! " If any of you are social networking types and would be interested in liking Poly keyboards on facebook, that would be awesome "
* The Noisebridge ios app is coming along smoothly! Expect to see a fresh app on the apple store courtesy of Ryan and crew in a few weeks :)
* Band playing nearby! White Supremacists neo folk band 9pm, Friday 13th at the Mezzanine!
* Non-recyclable non E-waste debris is being collected in the space. Make a contribution to clear space of debris by Wednesday night next week!

=Membership Binder=

=Financial Report=
*Funds in bank: 30,000.00+
*Noisetor: 6,000.00

=Consensus Items=
Harvey has been banned from Noisebridge

Chris aka Raging Bull has been banned Noisebridge

Request of Drew's ban/ temporary removal from space has been blocked (extended..?)

=Proposals discussed this week=
* Proposal for Harvey’s removal of the space comes to consensus. If it was a fighting game, it would've went like this:

Opening combo attack from Harvey denying theft claims!

Counter evidence from Adam describing how he's stolen right off his desk and been discovered with the items, it’s super effective!

J.C. inquiry, requests proof of thief claims!

Evidence ultra combo of multiple situations and violations from Adam!! Assist from Robert, Ryan, Russel!

K.O. attempt from Robert! Missing Noisebridge tools were recovered among Harvey's things!

Harvey defends with he didn't know that the things near Adam's desk were his! Defend negated; They were literally well on his desk, and Adam point blank told Harvey not to touch his things! "[Harvey:] Well.. that was after.. "

Finish him!!

Evidence hyper K.O.!! Perma ban issued from Noisebridge hacker space!

[Harvey is no longer allowed in the space. Has admitted to stealing, was caught sleeping in the stairwell on many occassions, returned items that belonged to multiple residents of Noisebridge. Was seen and accounted for by multiple members of Noisebridge to be digging in other people's belongings. Many tools and properties of Noisebridge were found among Harvey's things.]

* Proposal from Ryan that Chris aka Raging Bull be banned after physically assaulting another Noisebridge member via sucker punch. That's not cool, man. Proposal reaches consensus, and Raging Bull gets socked by the ban hammer!
- It was noted by Ryan that although cases of physical attacks on other members are near-unquestionably going to lead to a ban, it is still important to discuss those topics.

[paraphrased proposal conversation]
* Cynthia: I propose people should reveal their financial conflicts of interests during community discussion. If people work on projects and collaborate with others with plans to take it to market, and their team members are not aware, they should reveal their intentions that they have a conflict of interest so their partner's works aren't commercialized without their consent or stolen. Be aware- very many projects are being looked at.
Tom: Getting Noisebridge to allocate it’s money in some way to further your own financial interests is unethical, and most people agree it's unethical. It doesn’t really need consensus. If someone really wanted to come in and listen to ideas and pick the best one, a consensus that they need to say they're trying to do so wouldn't stop them. Besides that, when many people claim that someone has "stolen their idea", they're generally saying that someone worked and implemented an idea that they did not.
-The proposal was declined.

*[ large paraphrased proposal conversation!
Pidgeon proposes to ban Drew from Noisebridge until accusations of sexual assault against him have reached a consensus, so that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safe space. She and Tom claim they have accounts from Dante that Drew sexually assaulted him, as well as other claims of sexual assault against Drew. A proposal was inquired for the ban hammer to be laid upon Drew!]

Ryan: Innocent until proven guilty! Even though that, there’s quite a large body evidence showing that he’s innocent!

Tom: I’ve heard more than one account from an individual saying drew has sexually assaulted them. All of my women friends say they don’t want to come anymore because they might encounter Drew etc.

Ryan: Most of what has been said is literally just people claiming it. Drew being banned on a claim alone is ridiculous.

Pidgeon: Women feel unsafe, non-women feel unsafe because Drew remains here. Also reflects the general ethics of the space. People also found it disturbing that there are jokes of rape culture?

CJ: And there are members that come to noisebridge because they know Drew will be there that day, mind you!

Drew: I would like to bring up a point that hasn’t been made yet in this conversation. The group is going to have a sex toys conference here, isn’t that odd that there’s this rape thing going on. Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

=Proposals for next week=
* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew. This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a bigger hacker mecca.

Harvey has been banned from Noisebridge

Chris aka Raging Bull has been banned Noisebridge

Request of Drew's ban/ temporary removal from space has been blocked (extended..?)

=Proposals discussed this week=
* Proposal for Harvey’s removal of the space comes to consensus. If it was a fighting game, it would've went like this:

Opening combo attack from Harvey denying theft claims!

Counter evidence from Adam describing how he's stolen right off his desk and been discovered with the items, it’s super effective!

J.C. inquiry, requests proof of thief claims!

Evidence ultra combo of multiple situations and violations from Adam!! Assist from Robert, Ryan, Russel!

K.O. attempt from Robert! Missing Noisebridge tools were recovered among Harvey's things!

Harvey defends with he didn't know that the things near Adam's desk were his! Defend negated; They were literally well on his desk, and Adam point blank told Harvey not to touch his things! "[Harvey:] Well.. that was after.. "

Finish him!!

Evidence hyper K.O.!! Perma ban issued from Noisebridge hacker space!

[Harvey is no longer allowed in the space. Has admitted to stealing, was caught sleeping in the stairwell on many occassions, returned items that belonged to multiple residents of Noisebridge. Was seen and accounted for by multiple members of Noisebridge to be digging in other people's belongings. Many tools and properties of Noisebridge were found among Harvey's things.]

* Proposal from Ryan that Chris aka Raging Bull be banned after physically assaulting another Noisebridge member via sucker punch. That's not cool, man. Proposal reaches consensus, and Raging Bull gets socked by the ban hammer!
- It was noted by Ryan that although cases of physical attacks on other members are near-unquestionably going to lead to a ban, it is still important to discuss those topics.

[paraphrased proposal conversation]
* Cynthia: I propose people should reveal their financial conflicts of interests during community discussion. If people work on projects and collaborate with others with plans to take it to market, and their team members are not aware, they should reveal their intentions that they have a conflict of interest so their partner's works aren't commercialized without their consent or stolen. Be aware- very many projects are being looked at.
Tom: Getting Noisebridge to allocate it’s money in some way to further your own financial interests is unethical, and most people agree it's unethical. It doesn’t really need consensus. If someone really wanted to come in and listen to ideas and pick the best one, a consensus that they need to say they're trying to do so wouldn't stop them. Besides that, when many people claim that someone has "stolen their idea", they're generally saying that someone worked and implemented an idea that they did not.
-The proposal was declined.

*[ large paraphrased proposal conversation!
Pidgeon proposes to ban Drew from Noisebridge until accusations of sexual assault against him have reached a consensus, so that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safe space. Pidgeon requests to the postpone discussion until next week. Pidgeon and Tom claim they have accounts from Dante that Drew sexually assaulted him, as well as other claims of sexual assault against Drew. A proposal was inquired for the ban hammer to be laid upon Drew!]

Ryan: Innocent until proven guilty! Even though that, there’s quite a large body evidence showing that he’s innocent!

Tom: I’ve heard more than one account from an individual saying drew has sexually assaulted them. All of my women friends say they don’t want to come anymore because they might encounter Drew etc.

Ryan: Most of what has been said is literally just people claiming it. Drew being banned on a claim alone is ridiculous.

Pidgeon: Women feel unsafe, non-women feel unsafe because Drew remains here. Also reflects the general ethics of the space. People also found it disturbing that there are jokes of rape culture?

CJ: And there are members that come to noisebridge because they know Drew will be there that day, mind you!

Drew: I would like to bring up a point that hasn’t been made yet in this conversation. The group is going to have a sex toys conference here, isn’t that odd that there’s this rape thing going on. Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault. And harder still when your friends are given the power to block any claims made against you.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

=Proposals for next week=
* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew. This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a bigger hacker mecca.

* Cynthia: I propose people should reveal their financial conflicts of interests during community discussion. If people work on projects and collaborate with others with plans to take it to market, and their team members are not aware, they should reveal their intentions that they have a conflict of interest so their partner's works aren't commercialized without their consent or stolen. Be aware- very many projects are being looked at.
Tom: Getting Noisebridge to allocate it’s money in some way to further your own financial interests is unethical, and most people agree it's unethical. It doesn’t really need consensus. If someone really wanted to come in and listen to ideas and pick the best one, a consensus that they need to say they're trying to do so wouldn't stop them. Besides that, when many people claim that someone has "stolen their idea", they're generally saying that someone worked and implemented an idea that they did not.
-The proposal was declined.

*[ large paraphrased proposal conversation!
Pidgeon proposes to ban Drew from Noisebridge until accusations of sexual assault against him have reached a consensus, so that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safe space. Pidgeon requests to the postpone discussion until next week. Pidgeon and Tom claim they have accounts from Dante that Drew sexually assaulted him, as well as other claims of sexual assault against Drew. A proposal was inquired for the ban hammer to be laid upon Drew!]

Ryan: Innocent until proven guilty! Even though that, there’s quite a large body evidence showing that he’s innocent!

Tom: I’ve heard more than one account from an individual saying drew has sexually assaulted them. All of my women friends say they don’t want to come anymore because they might encounter Drew etc.

Ryan: Most of what has been said is literally just people claiming it. Drew being banned on a claim alone is ridiculous.

Pidgeon: Women feel unsafe, non-women feel unsafe because Drew remains here. Also reflects the general ethics of the space. People also found it disturbing that there are jokes of rape culture?

CJ: And there are members that come to noisebridge because they know Drew will be there that day, mind you!

Drew: I would like to bring up a point that hasn’t been made yet in this conversation. The group is going to have a sex toys conference here, isn’t that odd that there’s this rape thing going on. Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault. And harder still when your friends are given the power to block any claims made against you.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

=Proposals for next week=
* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew. This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a bigger hacker mecca.

=About Meetings=

'''We meet every Tuesday at 8 PM US/Pacific at [[Getting Here|2169 Mission St., San Francisco]]'''

Every week, Noisebridge meets to discuss issues relevant to our community. The meeting is for members and non-members alike: everyone is welcome.

Agenda items tend to typically include introductions, updates on projects happening in the space and upcoming events. Meetings normally end with general socializing and in depth discussion of any topics brought up earlier. If you have a topic that you'd like to discuss at next week's meeting, please add it to the [[Next_meeting|agenda]].

Meetings -- like all things -- at Noisebridge operate by [[consensus]]. If you've never seen consensus in action before, you may find your first meeting much less perplexing if you read about [[consensus]] first.

'''Make sure to look at the [[meeting instructions]]. They have the agenda, and plenty of tips for making things run smoothly.'''

Harvey has been banned
Chris aka Raging Bull has been banned
Request of Drew's ban/ removal from space until proposal has reaches consensus has been blocked (extended?)

=Proposals discussed this week=
* Proposal for Harvey’s removal of the space comes to consensus. If it was a fighting game, it would've went like this:

Opening combo attack from Havey!

Counter evidence from Adam, it’s super effective!

J.C. inquiry, requests proof of thief claims!

Evidence ultra combo from Adam!! Assist from Robert, Ryan, Russel!

K.O. attempt from Robert!

Harvey defends, defend negated!

Finish him!!

Perma ban issued from Noisebridge hacker space- Fatality!!

[Harvey is no longer allowed in the space. Has admitted to stealing, was caught sleeping in the stairwell on many occassions, returned items that belonged to multiple residents of Noisebridge. Was seen and accounted for by multiple members of Noisebridge to be digging in other people's belongings. Many tools and properties of Noisebridge were found among Harvey's things.]

* Proposal from Ryan that Chris aka Raging Bull be banned after physically assaulting another Noisebridge member via sucker punch. That's not cool, man. Proposal reaches consensus, and Raging Bull gets socked by the ban hammer!
- It was noted by Ryan that although cases of physical attacks on other members are near-unquestionably going to lead to a ban, it is still important to discuss those topics.

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault. And harder still when your friends are given the power to block any claims made against you.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew. This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a bigger hacker mecca.

=About Meetings=

'''We meet every Tuesday at 8 PM US/Pacific at [[Getting Here|2169 Mission St., San Francisco]]'''

Every week, Noisebridge meets to discuss issues relevant to our community. The meeting is for members and non-members alike: everyone is welcome.

Agenda items tend to typically include introductions, updates on projects happening in the space and upcoming events. Meetings normally end with general socializing and in depth discussion of any topics brought up earlier. If you have a topic that you'd like to discuss at next week's meeting, please add it to the [[Next_meeting|agenda]].

Meetings -- like all things -- at Noisebridge operate by [[consensus]]. If you've never seen consensus in action before, you may find your first meeting much less perplexing if you read about [[consensus]] first.

=Consensus Items=
Harvey has been banned
Chris aka Raging Bull has been banned
Request of Drew's ban/ removal from space until proposal has reaches consensus has been blocked (extended?)

=Proposals discussed this week=
* Proposal for Harvey’s removal of the space comes to consensus.

Opening combo attack from Havey!

Counter evidence from Adam, it’s super effective!

J.C. inquiry, requests proof of thief claims!

Evidence ultra combo from Adam!! Assist from Robert, Ryan, Russel!

K.O. attempt from Robert!

Harvey defends, defend negated!

Finish him!!

Perma ban issued from Noisebridge hacker space- Fatality!!

[Harvey is no longer allowed in the space; he collected his belongings and left. Kevin nicely helped Harvey his belongings out.]

* Proposal from Ryan that Chris aka Raging Bull be banned after physically assaulting another Noisebridge member via sucker punch. That's not cool, man. Proposal reaches consensus, and Raging Bull gets socked by the ban hammer!
- It was noted by Ryan that although cases of physical attacks on other members are near-unquestionably going to lead to a ban, it is still important to discuss those topics.

[paraphrased proposal conversation]
* Cynthia: I propose people should reveal their financial conflicts of interests during community discussion. If people work on projects and collaborate with others with plans to take it to market, and their team members are not aware, they should reveal their intentions that they have a conflict of interest so their partner's works aren't commercialized without their consent or stolen. Be aware- very many projects are being looked at.
Tom: Getting Noisebridge to allocate it’s money in some way to further your own financial interests is unethical, and most people agree it's unethical. It doesn’t really need consensus. If someone really wanted to come in and listen to ideas and pick the best one, a consensus that they need to say they're trying to do so wouldn't stop them. Besides that, when many people claim that someone has "stolen their idea", they're generally saying that someone worked and implemented an idea that they did not.
-The proposal was declined.

*[ large paraphrased proposal conversation!
Pidgeon proposes to ban Drew from Noisebridge until accusations of sexual assault against him have reached a consensus, so that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safe space. Pidgeon requests to the postpone discussion until next week. Pidgeon and Tom claim they have accounts from Dante that Drew sexually assaulted him, as well as other claims of sexual assault against Drew. A proposal was inquired for the ban hammer to be laid upon Drew!]

Ryan: Innocent until proven guilty! Even though that, there’s quite a large body evidence showing that he’s innocent!

Tom: I’ve heard more than one account from an individual saying drew has sexually assaulted them. All of my women friends say they don’t want to come anymore because they might encounter Drew etc.

Ryan: Most of what has been said is literally just people claiming it. Drew being banned on a claim alone is ridiculous.

Pidgeon: Women feel unsafe, non-women feel unsafe because Drew remains here. Also reflects the general ethics of the space. People also found it disturbing that there are jokes of rape culture?

CJ: And there are members that come to noisebridge because they know Drew will be there that day, mind you!

Drew: I would like to bring up a point that hasn’t been made yet in this conversation. The group is going to have a sex toys conference here, isn’t that odd that there’s this rape thing going on. Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault.

- Harvey is no longer allowed in the space; he collected his belongings and left. Kevin nicely helped Harvey his belongings out.

* Proposal from Ryan that Chris aka Raging Bull be banned after physically assaulting another Noisebridge member via sucker punch. That's not cool, man. Proposal reaches consensus, and Raging Bull gets socked by the ban hammer!
- It was noted by Ryan that although cases of physical attacks on other members are near-unquestionably going to lead to a ban, it is still important to discuss those topics.

[paraphrased proposal conversation]
* Cynthia: I propose people should reveal their financial conflicts of interests during community discussion. If people work on projects and collaborate with others with plans to take it to market, and their team members are not aware, they should reveal their intentions that they have a conflict of interest so their partner's works aren't commercialized without their consent or stolen. Be aware- very many projects are being looked at.
Tom: Getting Noisebridge to allocate it’s money in some way to further your own financial interests is unethical, and most people agree it's unethical. It doesn’t really need consensus. If someone really wanted to come in and listen to ideas and pick the best one, a consensus that they need to say they're trying to do so wouldn't stop them. Besides that, when many people claim that someone has "stolen their idea", they're generally saying that someone worked and implemented an idea that they did not.
-The proposal was declined.

*[ large paraphrased proposal conversation!
Pidgeon proposes to ban Drew from Noisebridge until proposal has reached a consensus, so that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safe space. Pidgeon requests to the postpone discussion until next week. Pidgeon and Tom claim they have accounts from Dante that Drew sexually assaulted him, as well as other claims of sexual assault against Drew. A proposal was inquired for the ban hammer to be laid upon Drew!]

Ryan: Innocent until proven guilty! Even though that, there’s quite a large body evidence showing that he’s innocent!

Tom: I’ve heard more than one account from an individual saying drew has sexually assaulted them. All of my women friends say they don’t want to come anymore because they might encounter Drew etc.

Ryan: Most of what has been said is literally just people claiming it. Drew being banned on a claim alone is ridiculous.

Pidgeon: Women feel unsafe, non-women feel unsafe because Drew remains here. Also reflects the general ethics of the space. People also found it disturbing that there are jokes of rape culture?

CJ: And there are members that come to noisebridge because they know Drew will be there that day, mind you!

Drew: I would like to bring up a point that hasn’t been made yet in this conversation. The group is going to have a sex toys conference here, isn’t that odd that there’s this rape thing going on. Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault. And harder still when your friends are given the power to block any claims made against you.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

=Proposals for next week=
* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew.
This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a hacker mecca.

Cancellation of Rebase meetings. Rebase meetings have been suspended for low attendance. Many of the participants remain interested in do-ocratic improvements in the space

Progress of 9/1 Hackathon and Noisebridge apps? Robert: hackathon update started working on the features: built out todo list and wiki. Been making great headway. Django and Python. http://noiseapp.herokuapp.com/ written in Rails. IOS app developed that pushes to the Ruby on Rails app. Carlos suggests putting this on Noisebridge's gethub

Josh: been here before and wrote an article for shareable magazine. Here to recruit. Coalition of Local LTFM applications. Common Frequency at Davis is the coordinator and organizer. I will talk about this. Go to CommonFrequency.org for more info.
David: Oct 6th Event. Art Group from Austria regarding Sex and Technology. There is something on the Wiki about it. One of the days is here. Other events are academic and there is a gala opening party as well. Sort of the only thing of its sort in this country.

== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==
''(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

* Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge
Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge. David asks what is an active project. Robert Clarifies. Jarrod Notes that this proposal is too vague. Carlos sort of seconds this.
Proposal retracted.
** seriously? who do you think shwould decide what constitutes an "active project"? authoritarian nonsense like this shouldn't make it past discussion. noisebridge i am disappoint to see this listed as a potential consensus item. whoever proposed this should [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lurk%20moar lurk moar] and/or stop trolling.

* Pidgeon proposes to ban Dru from Noisebridge until there can be a confirmation that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safespace

Noisebridge as a safespace.
Pidgeon: I don't feel that I can represent this properly.

David: are you confident that this is a legtimate claim. Perhaps update us on the particulars

Dan: Since Last week. Dru read an email from Lillian, whom had been one of the people that brought this issue up to our attention. While this helps the issue with one of the individuals it does not resolve the other. I think it would be good if Dru could address the other person. Dan people who speak out should be heard and not retailiated against.
David: askes for details.

J.C. recaps the history of this issue leading up to this meeting.

Dan: Let's look at this as an oppertunity to figure out how we handle these issues going forward. So that we do not keep doing stupid things. More sensitivity.
Pidgeon: I did not know that there was energy work going on here. I saw Dru massaging/touching Dante's chest area. Pidgeon had a concern about boundaries during this. Pidgeon left for a while and then found out that Dante considered this assult.
Cynthia: Dru was at the last meeting.

David: I believe the process is to Ban someone untill they can come to a meeting.

J.C. This happened, but now this is a formal proposal to Ban him.

J.C. This is an Ongoing process that could be continued to be discussed last week.

Pidgeon: I also want to discuss being bullied in the space. After bringing up concerns about rape culture at Noisebridge. I understand there is shock about using that phase. Now people are making jokes about it and trivializing it. This has been going on all week. I heard someone threaten to rape someone in the space, non joking. There has been a lack of sensitivtiy to this issue and gender issues.

J.C. We are off topic.

Pidgeon: Almost everyone is making personal attacks toward me. I don't know if I am the only person experiencing this. I haven't been threatened with rape but I heard a threat. People say things like don't talk about sex in front of them [pidgeon]

J.C. There are a number of people that will be willing to help resolve this. This isn't the best forum for this.

David: Is there anyone here that would block this? Drunk in the space and sexually groping. Ban until next meeting? Is anyone blocking baning him until he comes to a meeting.

J.C. There is a proxy block on banning Dru. None of the people directly harmed have been able to assist the process.

Kevin: People on both sides, or their advocates, have not stepped up to mediate with Dru.

David: Is the feeling that he generally contributes to the space.

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''

* Harvey is unwelcome at Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community. Proposer: Adam.

J.C.:
Harvey: The asking was done unexcellently. He also appropriated my computer.

Adam: I have asked him to leave and he keeps returning. You keep taking stuff from me and Noisebridge. The past several days I have been asking him to leave. I found him living in the stairway and with stolen stuff collected there.

Robert: Adam found a bag of tools, from Noisebridge, that were hidden with Harvey's things.

David: Is there a reason why they would accuse you.

Adam: this doesn't matter concerning the fact that you are living in the stairway. I have seen people accuse Harvey of stealing and Harver returning the items.

Russel: Harvy came in saying that the G5 was going to come in and take "his" G5. I'm pretty sure it is NBs

Harvey: The G5 is my computer. It was given to me by my former employer Bill Wurtz.

Jarrod: Recalls June 18th discussion with Harvey.

Harvey: issues a correction about the wording of the discussion, but pledges to not use the stairwell any longer.

Robert: recalls an incident of headphone stealing.

Harvey: explains that the headphones and that they were left out.

David: Shall we move forward with consensus.

J.C.: This is being proposed this week for consensus next week.

David: You have violated the trust of the community. You should stay away for the week. You can stay away for a week right?

Harvey: May I grab my blankets? Would someone help?

Kevin: I will help.

* Chris aka Raging Bull should be banned permanently from the space after physically assaulting a member of the noisebridge community. Proposer: Ryan.

J.C.: can someone speak to this.
Monad: Dan had asked Chris to leave. Then I did. Then another gentleman was walking with him towards the door.

Chris says I will leave someone. The other guy grabbed his pack and Chris slugged him. B/C there was only two of us standing there he felt that he could target one of us.

J.C.: Does anyone have a photo or discription.

David: How is he getting in.

Monad: He is willing to jump over the gate. He was ready to "go" that night. He should have been arrested.

J.C. I thing we can say that Chris is not currently welcome in the space. Does anyone have anything to add.

Carlos: Of Course, let's ban him.

David: do we have a language.

Jarrod: I will use the standard language. "Chris is unwelcome at Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community."

J.C.: The access control is currently being hacked.

David: Is there a picture?

Jarrod: At the last meeting he was described

David: There should be a low bar to unwelcome

Jarrod: Should we add that someone please get a photo.

J.C.: That is fine.

*Cynthia: people should have to reveal financial conflicts of intrest during community discussion.
David: what does that mean.
Cynthia: I am concerned that people will be working with people that may steal peoples ideas.

LowPowerFM? OpenFM?:

Contact: Josh
Email: joshua@artsandmedia.net
Cell: 415.336.3418
Web: illuminated-media.org

Josh: The FCC is considering that there were a lot of repeater stations that were broadcasting religious stations. The FCC has rejected these repeater stations and opened up the There are two channels coming up in the bay area. The Common Frequency at Davis wants to see communities get these before the religious stations do. Todd Urick wants to help the Bay Area get a locally managed station. It is a long process that needs a organization that can work together Then there is a point system that encourages local non-profits to work together.

Bud: is this similar to the FM that we discussed last week? (apparently)

Josh: If you have people here that want to get involved in this please connect them with Todd Urick. There are various non-profits and groups that want to get involved in this. Some of them have not been around long enough, but they are interested in being involved.

J.C.: What is the next step?

Josh: The application. Todd said that he would do the engineering. Meeting tomorrow in the east bay with prometheus radio.
David: Do we sign up to be part of the application process.

Josh: Todd started a googledoc to start gathering the resources. Everyone applies and the the FCC decides what they are going to do with all of them. There are various means (points) the will use to decide.

J.C.:Perhaps a meetup can be arranged.

Josh: Todd will do the application.

J.C.: This may take consensus. We will see.

Josh: Todd believes the application is a formality. Here is what Common Frequency wants to happen. Some of them will be fundraisers. Some will do events. Some sort of consensus process needs to be achieved to make decisions regarding the station. Noisebridge does consensus well, and would make a good base for this framework.

Monad: Are you saying that a number of organizations will be involved to maintain and pay for this.

Josh: essentially.

J.C.: We could continue this discussion outside of the meeting to work toward more clarity.

Josh: This is more of a coalition so that on single organization takes on the whole burden.

J.C: Closes the meeting.

Every week, Noisebridge meets to discuss issues relevant to our community. The meeting is for members and non-members alike: everyone is welcome.

Rape is not a sexual thing, it is about power. That is important to know in this conversation. I don’t know why that point hasn’t been made, it should be made. Thank you.

CJ: None of the accusers are here to say anything in behalf. It’s difficult to gauge the truth in claims without hearing accounts from the people, or having them show up!

Tom: Would be unfortunate if people had to describe their sexual assault, account their sexual assault, and come confront their sexual assaulter to have them kicked out. It would be unfortunate why someone who didn’t feel comfortable confronting someone face to face is the bar to removal of that person’s treatment. I think this has gone on ridiculously long.

CJ: This issue to me seems more like whether or not this is okay whether than rather if this happened and what happened. I’m not entirely clear at this point whose accusing drew of this sexual assault. It’s even more confusing that we’re talking about rape culture.

Kevin:[To Pidgeon and Drew] I’d like to hear more about the massage. Could you described what happened?

Drew: He complained about knots in his shoulders. I’d move the backs of my hands along his shoulders, and occasionally move to my front palms. It was entirely on the back, until he turned around and moved over to his front and said “would you massage here too?” placing my hand to his groin area. And I restrained and stopped it, knowing it was a hacker space. In between which he gave me a hug!

Robert: I think to ban Drew at this stage would be outright wrong on Noisebridge’s behalf. I think there has a lot of negative hearsay towards Drew, and that a bunch of people could be systematically attacking one person.

Monad: There was no mediation. Accusations were made, lots of rumors flying about. Some people said the simple act of being accused should lead to your removal of the space. I would flat out block that. I believe that is unacceptable.

Pideon: How exactly can someone have evidence of sexual assault?

[Meeting prolongs, blocks remain.]

CJ: I’ve known Drew for a long time and he’s not the kind of member who would do those things. He is a really stand-up guy!

Tom: There’s really no largely distinguishable attitude traits between people who sexually assault others. It has very little to do on the basis of whether they seem like a stand-up guy or not! And while a judicial-type system, “Innocent until proven guilty”, show-tangible-evidence is a good system for other types of violations, though unfortunately it’s a poor system to use to evaluate for sexual assault. And harder still when your friends are given the power to block any claims made against you.

[The consensus reached. Blocking members felt there was not enough basis to make the consensus that drew committed sexual assault and should leave the space.]

=Proposals for next week=
* In a proposal put forward by SuperQ and presented by Michael, it was inquired that Noisebridge not renew our lease for the mission hacker space when it expires. Due to proposal-supporting members feeling uncomfortable and unsafe in the space, and dissatisfaction seeing Noisebridge becoming seedier in their opinion. One proposed solution to the challenge is to reboot Noisebridge, release the current hacker space and start anew.
This solution aroused disagreements with some members of the meeting, who proposed the space has much potential and can be re-revolutionized into a hacker mecca. Another proposed

== Consensus ==

11/22/11 Meeting
Noisebridge pays money out of general funds for a cleaner for a continuing period of three months at a rate of $145 per month; additionally, Rob will do a bi-weeklky declutter, coordinated with the arrival of the cleaning people, with lunch paid for by Rubin at a rate of $20 per session; additiionally, Ben will clean at the oposite end of the monthly cycle from the cleaners, again coordinating with Rob.

=== Primum non nocere ===
First, do no harm.

Roaches love crumbs; always use a plate, clean up all dishes when done and leave no food lying around.

== Details ==

Updates and specifics will be listed here

There will also be a prizebox in the space where you can leave
something you want to donate as a reward for excellence.

== Doocratic Cleaning ==
Getting shit done with good old fashioned elbow grease.

=== Rationale ===
There may be many reasons that motivate one to perform cleaning, however the base purpose of cleaning is generally to make the environment healthier and more sanitary. Other reasons besides sanitation is the aesthetic value to which a clean space provides.

By rotating the cleaning duties, members learn by observing the various sorts of messes and dirty spots, learn how to clean them, and gain insight and motivation on how to avoid making them in the first place.

=== Cleaning Agents and Health ===
Commercially available chemical-based cleaners contain neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors. Such products are directly counterproductive to the goal of health improvement. They also have other consequential effects, supporting corporatism of multinational chemical companies that also poison us with GMOs and pharmaceuticals (DOW, Bayer, BASF, P&G), and must be transported using foreign oil and through the usual corpocratic channels of [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Grocery_Manufacturers_Association GMA] and national distributors.

=== Garrett's Homemade Orange Oil Cleaner ===
Non-toxic, chemical-free cleaner that smells great, disinfects, and repels pests.

Use as a general purpose cleaner. For laundry, use 2 tbsp + 2 tbsp baking soda.

The orange peel contains orange oil and is naturally extracted by leaving the dried peels in the jar with vinegar. Clove and orange oil both disinfect and repel pests. A few drops of non-toxic soap (homemade, or Dr. Bronner's) can be added to increase slipperiness for removing dirt.

==== Materials ====
1) Dried citrus peels (orange, lemon, lime) 
2) jar or container to hold (1) 
3) Vinegar 
4) Clove powder (optional) 
5) 1-2 tsp of Soap (optional) 

==== Methods ====
Fill each jar with peels. Add clove powder, soap and fill with vinegar. Shake well. Wait a day, and then use it for cleaning.

==== Getting Creative ====
Try other herbs and oils such as mint, cinnamon, eucalyptus, rosemary, cedar, basil, and cardamom.

=== Borax to kill Bugs ===
Borax can be safely applied to underneath of the refrigerator and atop cabinets and will kill insects, including roaches.

Borax consumption [http://www.ergo-log.com/boron.html may raise testosterone] in men when ingested but it may irritate skin on contact.

You can also make borax 'baits' --- mix borax with a sugar or starch to attract roaches, leave it out for their consumption.

=== Diatomaceous Earth ===

Mostly silica, diatomaceous earth punctures exoskeletons and dehydrate bugs. Use similarly to borax. As a warning it will irritate lungs if inhaled! You can find it online, in bulk at Rainbow Grocery or at some garden & hardware stores.

== Mopping the Floor ==

Move any items that are in the way and sweep completely.

Use murphy's oil soap, following the directions, or essential oils. There may be tea trea oil in the kitchen.

Meeting Notes 2013 09 03

You should read the [[meeting instructions]] forthwith! 
Don't forget to '''post the meeting notes to the wiki''' and e-mail the discussion list with a short summary.

These are the notes from the [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Meeting_Notes The 281st Meeting of Noisebridge]. Note-taker: FIXME YOUR NAME HERE; Moderator: FIXME THEIR NAME HERE.
* '''One or two bullet points of high-level meeting summary.'''

= Short announcements and events =

Cancellation of Rebase meetings. Rebase meetings have been suspended for low attendance. Many of the participants remain interested in do-ocratic improvements in the space

Progress of 9/1 Hackathon and Noisebridge apps? Robert: hackathon update started working on the features: built out todo list and wiki. Been making great headway. Django and Python. http://noiseapp.herokuapp.com/ written in Rails. IOS app developed that pushes to the Ruby on Rails app. Carlos suggests putting this on Noisebridge's gethub

Josh: been here before and wrote an article for shareable magazine. Here to recruit. Coalition of Local LTFM applications. Common Frequency at Davis is the coordinator and organizer. I will talk about this. Go to CommonFrequency.org for more info.
David: Oct 6th Event. Art Group from Austria regarding Sex and Technology. There is something on the Wiki about it. One of the days is here. Other events are academic and there is a gala opening party as well. Sort of the only thing of its sort in this country.

== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==
''(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

* Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge
Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge. David asks what is an active project. Robert Clarifies. Jarrod Notes that this proposal is too vague. Carlos sort of seconds this.
Proposal retracted.
** seriously? who do you think shwould decide what constitutes an "active project"? authoritarian nonsense like this shouldn't make it past discussion. noisebridge i am disappoint to see this listed as a potential consensus item. whoever proposed this should [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lurk%20moar lurk moar] and/or stop trolling.

* Pidgeon (Rape Whistle P) proposes to ban Dru from Noisebridge until there can be a confirmation that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safespace

Noisebridge as a safespace.
Pidgeon: I don't feel that I can represent this properly.

David: are you confident that this is a legtimate claim. Perhaps update us on the particulars

Dan: Since Last week. Dru read an email from Lillian, whom had been one of the people that brought this issue up to our attention. While this helps the issue with one of the individuals it does not resolve the other. I think it would be good if Dru could address the other person. Dan people who speak out should be heard and not retailiated against.
David: askes for details.

J.C. recaps the history of this issue leading up to this meeting.

Dan: Let's look at this as an oppertunity to figure out how we handle these issues going forward. So that we do not keep doing stupid things. More sensitivity.
Pidgeon: I did not know that there was energy work going on here. I saw Dru massaging/touching Dante's chest area. Pidgeon had a concern about boundaries during this. Pidgeon left for a while and then found out that Dante considered this assult.
Cynthia: Dru was at the last meeting.

David: I believe the process is to Ban someone untill they can come to a meeting.

J.C. This happened, but now this is a formal proposal to Ban him.

J.C. This is an Ongoing process that could be continued to be discussed last week.

Pidgeon: I also want to discuss being bullied in the space. After bringing up concerns about rape culture at Noisebridge. I understand there is shock about using that phase. Now people are making jokes about it and trivializing it. This has been going on all week. I heard someone threaten to rape someone in the space, non joking. There has been a lack of sensitivtiy to this issue and gender issues.

J.C. We are off topic.

Pidgeon: Almost everyone is making personal attacks toward me. I don't know if I am the only person experiencing this. I haven't been threatened with rape but I heard a threat. People say things like don't talk about sex in front of them [pidgeon]

J.C. There are a number of people that will be willing to help resolve this. This isn't the best forum for this.

David: Is there anyone here that would block this? Drunk in the space and sexually groping. Ban until next meeting? Is anyone blocking baning him until he comes to a meeting.

J.C. There is a proxy block on banning Dru. None of the people directly harmed have been able to assist the process.

Kevin: People on both sides, or their advocates, have not stepped up to mediate with Dru.

David: Is the feeling that he generally contributes to the space.

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] ==
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''

* Harvey is unwelcome at Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community. Proposer: Adam.

J.C.:
Harvey: The asking was done unexcellently. He also appropriated my computer.

Adam: I have asked him to leave and he keeps returning. You keep taking stuff from me and Noisebridge. The past several days I have been asking him to leave. I found him living in the stairway and with stolen stuff collected there.

Robert: Adam found a bag of tools, from Noisebridge, that were hidden with Harvey's things.

David: Is there a reason why they would accuse you.

Adam: this doesn't matter concerning the fact that you are living in the stairway. I have seen people accuse Harvey of stealing and Harver returning the items.

Russel: Harvy came in saying that the G5 was going to come in and take "his" G5. I'm pretty sure it is NBs

Harvey: The G5 is my computer. It was given to me by my former employer Bill Wurtz.

Jarrod: Recalls June 18th discussion with Harvey.

Harvey: issues a correction about the wording of the discussion, but pledges to not use the stairwell any longer.

Robert: recalls an incident of headphone stealing.

Harvey: explains that the headphones and that they were left out.

David: Shall we move forward with consensus.

J.C.: This is being proposed this week for consensus next week.

David: You have violated the trust of the community. You should stay away for the week. You can stay away for a week right?

Harvey: May I grab my blankets? Would someone help?

Kevin: I will help.

* Chris aka Raging Bull should be banned permanently from the space after physically assaulting a member of the noisebridge community. Proposer: Ryan.

J.C.: can someone speak to this.
Monad: Dan had asked Chris to leave. Then I did. Then another gentleman was walking with him towards the door.

Chris says I will leave someone. The other guy grabbed his pack and Chris slugged him. B/C there was only two of us standing there he felt that he could target one of us.

J.C.: Does anyone have a photo or discription.

David: How is he getting in.

Monad: He is willing to jump over the gate. He was ready to "go" that night. He should have been arrested.

J.C. I thing we can say that Chris is not currently welcome in the space. Does anyone have anything to add.

Carlos: Of Course, let's ban him.

David: do we have a language.

Jarrod: I will use the standard language. "Chris is unwelcome at Noisebridge. He is prohibited from entering the space or participating in the community."

J.C.: The access control is currently being hacked.

David: Is there a picture?

Jarrod: At the last meeting he was described

David: There should be a low bar to unwelcome

Jarrod: Should we add that someone please get a photo.

J.C.: That is fine.

*Cynthia: people should have to reveal financial conflicts of intrest during community discussion.
David: what does that mean.
Cynthia: I am concerned that people will be working with people that may steal peoples ideas.

= Discussion Notes =

LowPowerFM? OpenFM?:

Contact: Josh
Email: joshua@artsandmedia.net
Cell: 415.336.3418
Web: illuminated-media.org

Josh: The FCC is considering that there were a lot of repeater stations that were broadcasting religious stations. The FCC has rejected these repeater stations and opened up the There are two channels coming up in the bay area. The Common Frequency at Davis wants to see communities get these before the religious stations do. Todd Urick wants to help the Bay Area get a locally managed station. It is a long process that needs a organization that can work together Then there is a point system that encourages local non-profits to work together.

Bud: is this similar to the FM that we discussed last week? (apparently)

Josh: If you have people here that want to get involved in this please connect them with Todd Urick. There are various non-profits and groups that want to get involved in this. Some of them have not been around long enough, but they are interested in being involved.

J.C.: What is the next step?

Josh: The application. Todd said that he would do the engineering. Meeting tomorrow in the east bay with prometheus radio.
David: Do we sign up to be part of the application process.

Josh: Todd started a googledoc to start gathering the resources. Everyone applies and the the FCC decides what they are going to do with all of them. There are various means (points) the will use to decide.

J.C.:Perhaps a meetup can be arranged.

Josh: Todd will do the application.

J.C.: This may take consensus. We will see.

Josh: Todd believes the application is a formality. Here is what Common Frequency wants to happen. Some of them will be fundraisers. Some will do events. Some sort of consensus process needs to be achieved to make decisions regarding the station. Noisebridge does consensus well, and would make a good base for this framework.

Monad: Are you saying that a number of organizations will be involved to maintain and pay for this.

Josh: essentially.

J.C.: We could continue this discussion outside of the meeting to work toward more clarity.

Josh: This is more of a coalition so that on single organization takes on the whole burden.

J.C: Closes the meeting.

2D Paper Printer

2013-09-03T02:17:05Z

199.188.193.9: /* Brother HL-2070N */

Information about any 2D printer accessible within the Noisebridge network should be listed here. If you're adding a new printer, a good suggestion would be to post user/password information physically onto the printer and to email our [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/rack rack list].

If you need to connect to a printer try searching for printers within your OS's printer config doodad. Currently they should automagically show up, if not see what tossing around the IP address of a printer can do for you.

= Current printers =

Currently (May 2013) there is one known-good 2D printer in the space.

==Brother HL-2070N==
Small laser printer located next to the electronics bench.
* IP: 172.30.0.56
* Ubuntu drivers: sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-laser brother-lpr-drivers-laser
* Mac and Windows drivers: [http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/us/us/en/model_top/monolaserpri/hl2070n_all.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl2070n_all]

= Old printers =

These printers may or may not still be in the space and/or currently operational. Please edit this page if you find out!

==HP LaserJet 5Si MX (treechopper)==
* '''IP: 172.30.0.6'''

Speaks the usual JetDirect stuff on port 9000. Supports PCL and Postscript. See the [[Network]] page for the current address.

[http://pony.noisebridge.net/~zemmekkis/Laserjet5SiServiceManual.pdf LaserJet 5Si Service Manual]

===Step-by-step setup===
Find your computer's list of printers. Add a new printer. Choose to add it under IPP protocol rather than a direct USB connection.
The IP address (as of June 5) is 172.30.0.6 .

====For Mac (OS X 10.4+)====
[[User:Esqg|Esqg]] 20:32, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

*System Preferences
*Print & Fax
**Printing
*Use the "plus" sign below the list of printers to add a printer.
*New window comes up: "Printer Browser." Click "IP" tab, not "Default".
**Under "Protocol" dropdown, select IPP.
**Enter IP address below it: 172.30.0.6 . Computer will validate it, and should identify it as HP Laserjet 5Si. The default printing (Gimp) works for me, but as mentioned the PCL and Postscript options are available.
**Click "add", close extra window.
*Back in "Print&Fax", at "Selected Printer in Print Dialog" pick this printer. Or, when you go to print something, choose 172.30.0.6 as your printer among your options.

==OKI C5200==
There is a printer here, and that is what it says. It is on the workbench facing the South Wall and apparently lives at 172.030.002.114.

==HP LaserJet 3390==
*192.168.2.215
*Next to Pole 8
*Doubles as a scanner/copier/fax.

==Panasonic Ribbon==

==HP Color LaserJet 2840==
The chip in the imaging drum of this printer tells it not to allow you to print from it anymore. The chip can be pried off of the imaging drum and replaced with a chip that has been pried off a spent HP toner cartridge. 
HACK ME PLEASE

==Brother MFC-J435w==
Johnny was Excellent and donated + set up this printer. Now it makes pictures! and letters!

==Canon Pixma iP4200==
This lives next door to [[Quagga]]. There is a [[nburl]] written on it of [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP4200 how to install it under Ubuntu] (though it should already be installed).

==US Cutter MH-1351 MK2==
Vinyl cutter driven by Windows 7. Does not make vinyl records :(
For Linux use InkCut (Inkscape Plugin) see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1512795

Front-end Web Development/Notes

2013-08-29T05:11:52Z

199.188.193.9: /* RTFM */

Notes from previous [[Frontend Web Development]] classes.

==== Class for 2013-08-26: ClassName Swap, Language Review, RTFM, by Garrett Smith ====

===== Lesson: CSS ClassName Swap =====
By changing an element's <code>className</code> multiple styles can be changed at one time.

Using the descendant selector, and changing the <code>className</code> of an ancestor element, multiple elements can be updated simultaneously, with a modicum of highly efficient code.

For Styles, replace a loop that applies styles to descendants by adding a class token to the nearest common ancestor ([http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/code-guidelines/descendant-sel.html example], [http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/code-guidelines/#design explanation]).

====== Calculating Selector's Specificity ([http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#specificity CSS 2.1]). ======
The classname swap example leverages the fact that class selectors (e.g. <code>.foo</code>) have higher specificity than element selectors (e.g. <code>tr</code>).

CSS Selector specificity is determined four numbers, a-b-c-d, in a number system with a large base.
<blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html#specificity">
count 1 if the declaration is from is a 'style' attribute rather than a rule with a selector, 0 otherwise (= a) (In HTML, values of an element's "style" attribute are style sheet rules. These rules have no selectors, so a=1, b=0, c=0, and d=0.)
count the number of ID attributes in the selector (= b)
count the number of other attributes and pseudo-classes in the selector (= c)
count the number of element names and pseudo-elements in the selector (= d)
</blockquote>

===== RTFM =====
Unschooling and autodidacticism; an Intro to [ RTFM], RTFFAQ, and SFTW.

Understanding defines the difference between the followers, who resort to mystical incantations or convoluted DOM libraries to do the work for them, and those who can implement project requirements, as specified, with [ clean code (Vimeo)]. And not downloading free scripts off dynamic drive or [ jQuery], copying, or programming by observation.

When misunderstandings or debates arise, and that happens fairly often, it is important how to find the answer using STFW and RTFM,
and when that fails, how (and where (CIWAS, JSMentors, c.l.js, ciwah) to ask a [ smart question].

===== JavaScript Review =====
====== Functions ======
* [http://kangax.github.io/nfe/ FunctionExpression vs FunctionDeclaration], [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.lang.javascript/tjVn1NjGDN8/QgOuxtAymqoJ MemberExpression], [http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-11.2.1 PropertyAccessor] and [http://jibbering.com/faq/notes/square-brackets/ Square Brackets].

====== Specifications ======
* [http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-262-arch.htm ECMAScript 1.3] and [http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/ ECMAScript 5.1]
Other versions of ECMAScript, including E4X and Compact, are out of scope for this class.

====== FAQ ======
[http://jibbering.com/faq/ FAQ], also hosted on [http://www.fortybelow.ca/hosted/comp-lang-javascript/faq/ Matt's site].

==== Class for 2013-08-12: More useful jQuery plugins ====
Our final jQuery-focused class touched on a number of other common plugins that are found in the wild. We took a closer look at Bootstrap and jQuery UI, and looked at plugins that make your page look super snazzy:
* [http://jqueryui.com/demos/datepicker/ Datepicker (jQuery UI)] - fancy datepickers appearing near your input fields
* [http://jqueryui.com/demos/accordion/ Accordion (jQuery UI)] - collapse and unfold lists of elements
* [http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#scrollspy Scrollspy (Bootstrap)] - change navs to highlight where you are scrolled on a page
* [http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/ Cycle] - make easy slideshows
* [http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/ Chosen] - style dropdowns

==== Class for 2013-08-05: Sign-up forms ====
We continued working on [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class13/lecture.zip our site] and added a sign-up form, with validation, inside the modal. We used the [http://jqueryvalidation.org/ jQuery Validation plugin]. Validation is a very common request from clients and it comes in handy to know all the tips and tricks of forms and validation, and what new HTML5 elements can provide.

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGJPBfWJWRc Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class14/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-07-29: Modals and menus ====
We went back to the [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class6/noiseco.zip "professional" site we'd put together a number of weeks ago] and added more functionality to it with some jQuery plugins. We first made a dialog box - or a "modal" - pop up when you click the sign up buttons. We did this by introducing [http://jqueryui.com/ jQuery UI] to make common user controls easier to create. We also added some dropdown functionality to our menus using pure CSS, but explained that jQuery UI can help out with the subtle nuances of menus.

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ge2ZECyRRf8 Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class13/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-07-22: AJAX ====
We talked about Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, a technology that allows us to talk to a server without leaving the page. jQuery makes this extremely easy. We added AJAX functionality to [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class11/lecture.zip our app we've been building on]. We used this [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class12/tweet.php.zip PHP file] to test it out.

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi1arhXXQsw Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class12/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-07-15: jQuery, cont'd ====
We continued learning about jQuery by focusing on [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class10/lecture.zip the example we saw last week]. We added functionality to it that made it seem more like the real thing.

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6Bublxub3w Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class11/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-07-08: jQuery ====
We introduced jQuery, a JavaScript library that makes web programming a whole lot easier. jQuery is the most popular of many libraries that allow us to interact with the document easily, while also providing us with a few tools that are missing from the base language.

To learn what jQuery can do, we added some scripting to [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class10/assets.zip this sample web app].

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IP3MgfcStxg Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class10/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-07-01: JavaScript, cont'd ====
We continued discussing JavaScript basics: arrays, objects, creating functions, and scopes.

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Q5DhW8jpA Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class9/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-06-24: JavaScript ====
We talked about JavaScript: making web pages interactive through client-side code. We used the console, which is part of the browser's developer tools, to demonstrate the basics of the language. This and next week's class can be treated as a general introduction to programming.

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfd78FpYPuI Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class8/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-06-17: HTTP & SFTP ====
We talked about file transfer: HTTP, which is the method of getting and sending information in the web browser, and SFTP, which is a method of securely uploading files to a web host.

We set up free web hosting accounts at [https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net NearlyFreeSpeech.NET], and uploaded to them using [http://filezilla-project.org the FileZilla client].

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfJxBeNzbvQ Lecture video]'''

==== Class for 2013-06-03: Working from professional mockups, cont'd ====
We continued putting our professional-looking site together from [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class5/lecture.zip where we left off]. We focused on some fancy CSS3 techniques, and we saw how to make an interactive dropdown menu with no JavaScript.

We didn't exactly finish, but I went ahead and put on the finishing touches. [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class6/noiseco The final product can be found here] (but where we left off can be found in the [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class6/lecture.zip lecture materials]).

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMeTFrR1rtA Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class6/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-05-20: Working from professional mockups ====
We took the knowledge we gained from looking at the CSS box model, floats, and positioning, and worked off of something given to us by a designer (me).

We worked off of [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series2/class5/mockup.png this mockup] and its [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series2/class5/mockup_annotations.png annotated version] to make a site that could pass as a professional design (but don't take my word for it). [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series2/class5/assets.zip Image assets can be found here].

'''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y6MxRAPfLs Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class5/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-05-13: CSS positioning ====
In the last few classes, we focused on element measurements and floats. This time, we focused on positioning of elements: spacing them out from other elements using margins, and using absolute, relative, or fixed positioning to put the elements anywhere we want on the whole page.

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxROKEWIjB8 Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class4/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-05-06: CSS floats ====
Floating is the secret sauce behind creating websites with multiple columns, navigation menus, and basically any block element that's aligned to the left or right. We learned about floats by taking a look at some examples, then took a [http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series2/class4/mockup.png mockup] and created a site from it.

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j6oA4sS99U Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class3/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-04-22: CSS selectors and the box model ====
CSS selectors are probably the most complex part of the CSS language, so we looked at them further in-depth. We also talked about the box model, the display concept that makes words and containers on the web look like they do.

'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqQph1vry7A Lecture video]''' 
'''[http://jeffreyatw.com/static/frontend/series4/class2/lecture.zip Lecture materials]'''

==== Class for 2013-04-15: the basics ====
We covered the very basics:
* Explaining "frontend" vs. "backend"
* Discussing tools of the trade
* Explaining the separation between structure, presentation, and behavior
* Writing a basic HTML page
* Styling the page with basic CSS
* Explaining the role of frontend web development as a job and career

Vinyl cutter

2013-08-27T05:24:11Z

199.188.193.9: /* Cutting */

= Vinyl Cutter =
== Latest News ==
* June 2013 - C repaired the vinyl cutter, it's up and running again!

''View the https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Talk:Vinyl_cutter for a maintenance log''

== Vinyl cutting! ==
Vinyl cutters take paper-backed vinyl and cut them robotically. They talk GCode or some variant and eat SVG.

=== Our cutter ===
We have 50" USCutter MH. It runs "Sure Cuts a Lot" software on the laser cutter machine. They use some dumb registration / activation system, so it can only be installed on one machine.

== Using the cutter ==
Quick params: 
Cut speed - this depends on the complexity of the cut. 10mm/sec for complicated cuts, up to 200mm/sec for big stuff. 
Cut Press - play around with this - 50g works well.

=== Important rules ===
* Don't touch the blade. Not only is it poky, getting any kind of dirt or skin oil on it makes it very unhappy
* Be aware of static electricity - unrolling the vinyl is a mini maelstrom of sparks. Ground yourself and the machine
* Cover the machine when done. Dust is bad.

=== New Vinyl setup ===
# Load your vinyl in the roller rack. Note, however, that the cutter does not have the strength to unroll any vinyl, so be sure to unroll more than you need and leave it slack
# Flip all the pinch rollers down, and pull the vinyl through the machine
# Slide the pinch rollers sideways and arrange them over the vinyl. You probably want to use three rollers - two an inch from each of the sides, and one in the middle
# Flip the pinch roller levers up.
# Adjust the cutter blade height. The cutter blade should be exactly as tall as the vinyl. Too tall and it will ruin the cutting surface below. Too short and it won't cut all the way through
## Loosen the brass locknut
## Turn the top, aluminum nut until the blade is completely retracted
## Expose the blade to your guess as to the depth of the vinyl
## Set the locknut
## Press the test button If the backing paper is deeply scored, then blade is too low. If the vinyl isn't cut, the blade is too high. Adjust, lather, rinse, repeat

=== Cutting ===
* Open Sure Cuts a Lot
* Draw
* Unroll enough vinyl
* Click Cut (Cutter if using Sure Cuts a Lot Pro?) -> Cut With US Cutter
* Set mode to "Origin", not "WYSIWYG". This is usually already set.
* Click Cut.
* Profit

=== Setting the origin ===
# Press the Pause button
# Navigate to the desired origin
# Press the Origin button

== Old information about pledges ==

It was [https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-January/033976.html suggested] that Noisebridge should have a vinyl cutter, which can be purchased for ~$300.

If you would like to contribute funds toward it, edit this page to add your name to this list:

* [[User:Yesac|Casey]] - $250 - paid
* [[User:Leif|Leif]] - $50 - paid
* [[User:Lizzard|Liz]] - $20 A bit extra for supplies
* [[User:Molly|Molly]] - $25 - paid
* [[User:Turkshead|Shannon]] - $25 - paid
* Dan - $20 - paid

If people opt to get the 50" model, the following people will contribute money

* [[User:Coreyfro|Coreyfro]] - $25
* Larry - $100 - paid
* Arlen - $25 - paid
* Merlin - $25 - paid

Invoice
* 50" Derpaderpa cutter w/ shipping + spare blades: 409

Vinyl we want
* Some matte vinyl - looks better for laptop decals
* Oracal transfer tape is the best
