37.218.244.212: Undo revision 40849 by 76.164.224.106 (talk)

== Bug? ==

The Name section of the passport has "Surname / Nom / Apellidos" and then "First Name" in the box you write in, and then "Given names/ Prenoms / Nombres" with "Last Name" in the box you write in. I think the text in the boxes is the wrong way round.

Also the source for the passports is in adobe InDesign format, which currently dosn't have an open source implementation. Would it be possible to redo it in Scribus so it can be edited by hackers without using propriety software?

Alternativly if someone could re-export it from InDesign in InDesign Exchange format (.inx i think) then the Scribus team are working on an importer for it.

== Stamp Book ==
* Shouldn't this be called a Hackspace Stampbook? A passport is defined as "a document, issued by a national government, which certifies, for the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its holder." A Hackerspace passport should be defined as "a document, issued by a Hackerspace, which certifies, for the purpose of inter-Hackerspace travel, the identity and home Hackerspace of its holder." This information should then be used to validate the holder, giving them a reputation to uphold for themselves and their Hackerspace. --[[User:JimShoe|JimShoe]] 18:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC) (Makers Local 256)
:: I don't mind the passport part, but "diplomatic" makes it look like something it really isn't. "Hackerspace Passport" would be more to the point. also inside you obviously put visitor stamps and not visas. It would be nice to have a document that presents what it is and does not pretend to be something else.--eMBee 4:34, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

== Creation ==
* for those of us in the dark end of the hacker universe, would you be interested in sharing what materials/methods you use to craft these so that we can develop a certain level of uniformity between hackerspaces. I'm trying to get some put together for the OHM hackerspace here but would like to be of a comparable quality.

== Making Your Own Hackerspace Passports ==
If you want to make your own Hackerspace Passports, then please do! If you make your own then you can do it any way you want! You can call it whatever you want! You can create your own artwork! You can make it any shape you want! You can do anything you wish, since it is *yours*!

You can also grab the original artwork, and use it verbatim, or hack it for your purposes. The artwork is entirely free and open source. See the links on the bottom of the Passport page for the print-ready PDF, and also the source artwork.

You can also make your artwork in any format that you want. Please, go ahead and make it using an open-source tool, if you like.

To make 2,600 of them, I used a local printer, named Valencia Printing, on Valencia St, in San Francisco. But any printer can print these. Of course, the fewer you make, the more expensive it is to make each one. Valencia Printing used 4-color printing on the inside pages, and used thick cardstock for the cover, using navy-blue and white ink on the cover. It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

In spite of having a name "slightly" similar to the Science Guy,
I do not know much about making smoke come out of oversized test
tubes. Rather, I started in Electrical Engineering as an analog
integrated circuit designer, graduated with an advanced degree
in the area of CAD for IC design at Berkeley, worked in chip CAD
software development for 15 years, then made a career switch
that led to the Multimedia Masters program at Cal State East
Bay, graduating in 2003. Shortly thereafter, 3 of my 4 thesis
group members began a small startup to develop the (offline)
interactive motion-based multiplayer HatManDo games (see
http://www.epsilonactive.com), which has been at Maker Faire
(twice).

I also like Flash Actionscript, PHP, computer-music (eg Reason,
ChucK, KeyKit), Max-MSP-Jitter, camera and sensor-based Art projects,
and volleyball.

I am interested in collaboration on technically-based art projects,
and am currently learning Arduino and AVR programming. I have
a Make Controller board (given to me by David and Liam) and a
Propeller Starter Kit.

I like the McWire, as it is designed for both milling and printing, is cheap, has the smaller and simpler parts list (as compared to the Darwin machine), seems to be the easier / faster of the two, and uses 3/4" steel plumber's pipe as the primary structural component, which I have an aesthetic weakness for.

I don't have a particular preference based on which finished machine will be better or worse; if anybody has insight, I welcome it, otherwise I'm going to start going down the McWire BOM and obtaining parts.

[[User:Turkshead|Turkshead]] 07:52, 21 October 2008 (PDT)

:Link please! I'd like to see us document our process more voluminously than "start ordering parts from the BOM". Could you add a BOM to this page (or another page on our wiki) and start marking them off when acquired? At the very least I'd like some reasonable clarity about what we actually decide to build -- what print head, what chassis, et cetera. Please feel free to add links and thoughts to the [[RepRap|page]]. [[User:Adi|Adi]] 12:14, 21 October 2008 (PDT)

As a result of the campaign to put up billboards to promote hacker culture, enough money was raised to put up 25 huge billboards in San Francisco and San Jose!

These were paid for by Noisebridge, Hacker Dojo, The Tech Museum, MAKE Magazine, and TechShop. '''(And to get more billboards up, TechShop kicked in another $25,000!)'''

These photos show some of the billboards (all are identical, and all are in high-profile locations).

= The original appeal to raise funds for the billboards =
Interested in helping get huge billboards up to promote maker/hacker culture?

I’ve been involved with talks with The Tech Museum, MAKE: Magazine, TechShop, and Hacker Dojo about getting billboards up to promote maker/hacker culture.

The person behind making this happen is Matt Spergel, who has some good experience in hacking the billboard system to get great coverage for cool projects. Matt managed to get a huge billboard up on I-680 to promote libraries and education for a few thousand dollars (rather than tens of thousands). The result: 
[[Image:FREE_EDUCATION.jpg]] 
[http://bookable.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/worlds-largest-public-library-advertisement/ FREE EDUCATION] 

Matt’s idea now is to have 3 huge billboards to promote maker/hacker culture, with the logos for Noisebridge, Hacker Dojo, The Tech Museum, MAKE, and TechShop:
* 1 street level billboard in San Jose (most likely downtown?)
* 1 street level billboard in San Francisco
* and 1 kick ass billboard on the skyway in SF.
Each one will look like this mockup: 
[[Image:InventBillboardMockup.png|center|600px]] 

We are $1,000 short of this goal, and I agreed to try and raise this on Noisebridge’s behalf. The other groups have already come up with the following amounts of money for this project:
* Hacker Dojo: $1,000
* MAKE: $1,500
* TechShop: $1,500
* The Tech Museum: $2,500
* Noisebridge: $1,000

If a bunch of people each kick in a few dollars, we can easily come up with the $1k to make this happen. I’m starting this off by pledging $250. Anyone else in?

The billboard campaign starts on 25-July, so we have 2 weeks to reach our goal of $1k and make these 3 billboards a reality!

'''Objectives of the campaign'''
# To grow maker/hacker culture.
# To create more visibility for our organizations.
# To get more people involved who will add to maker/hacker culture
# To promote more collaboration amongst the orgs in on this billboard

Please email me with any questions:
