Mpmckenna8: /* adding me to SSH Access */

Unicorn is a homage to our long dead server, formerly known as [[Stallion]].
It has no guaranteed uptime or functionality; it is up to you to keep the services you want running, running. Like a stallion. <br>
[[Image:Pissingponynb.png]]

This utility server is 4 cores, 24gb ram, 120gb ssd storage and 12tb bandwidth. <br>
'''Volunteers warmly encouraged to setup and maintain it! Please contact us via the main [https://lists.noisebridge.net/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Noisebridge Discussion Mailing List] or on our [https://discuss.noisebridge.info Discuss forum]'''

== Services ==

== System Info ==

* Homepage URL: [https://noisebridge.info noisebridge.info]

* IP: <code>172.93.55.252</code>

* OS: Debian 9 x86_64

* Web server: Nginx is running on ports 80 and 443

* Domains: Current domains and subdomains hosted on this server: (see <code>/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*</code>)

* DNS: all <code>*.noisebridge.info</code> subdomains point to this server, as does the naked domain (<code>noisebridge.info</code>)

* SSL: certbot runs every day to renew certs for all (sub)domains it knows about
** ...but to manually renew, run <code>/home/noisebridge/bin/recert; sudo service nginx restart</code>

* To add a new service at, say, <code>somethingcool.noisebridge.info</code>...
** Create a file similar to <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/noisebridge.info</code> called <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/somethingcool.noisebridge.info</code>
** Run <code>sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/somethingcool.noisebridge.info /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/somethingcool.noisebridge.info; sudo nginx -t</code>
** If you don't get any errors, add <code>-d somethingcool.noisebridge.info</code> to <code>/home/noisebridge/bin/recert</code> then run <code>/home/noisebridge/bin/recert</code> to (U)pdate the <code>*.noisebridge.info</code> SSL cert!

* Unicorn uses [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall ufw] to whitelist which ports can receive incoming connections from the outside world.
** To add a port to the whitelist: <code>sudo ufw allow <port></code>
** To list firewall rules: <code>sudo ufw show added</code>
** To delete a firewall rule: <code>sudo ufw delete <rule></code>
** To view (and delete) rules chronologically rather than by port: <code>sudo ufw status numbered</code>

== Rules and Guidelines ==

* Be excellent to each other
** Don't fuck up other people's shit

* Usage of containers is encouraged where practical, but not required
** Databases sometimes have issues running in Docker, for example

* If you need a different version of some database that is already running on the default port, run the version you need in a Docker container, or on a different port (and that stores its data in a different directory!)

== SSH Config ==

<code>
I can haz access?
Yes, but you are agreeing to be excellent to each other!
</code>

Consider generating a new SSH key pair with

<code>$ ssh-keygen -b 4096</code>

then calling it, say, <code>unicorn-nb</code>, then add this to your <code>~/.ssh/config</code> file:

<code>
Host unicorn-nb<br />
User noisebridge<br />
Hostname 172.93.55.252<br />
PreferredAuthentications publickey<br />
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/unicorn-nb<br />
</code>

If your SSH pub key (<code>~/.ssh/unicorn-nb.pub</code>) has been added to <code>unicorn-nb:~/.ssh/authorized_keys</code>, you should now be able to shell in by typing

<code>$ ssh unicorn-nb</code>

...and thanks to the <code>~/.ssh/config</code> entry, the name of the server you're trying to SSH into -- namely <code>unicorn-nb</code> in this case -- should autocomplete! Add your name to the access list below!

== SSH Access ==

* [[User:Mpmckenna8|@mpmckenna8]] - Matt M
* [[User:James|@James]] - James
* [[User:tdfischer|Victoria]]
* [[User:Elimisteve|@elimisteve]]
* [[User:Rando|@rando]]
* [[User:spinda|@spinda]]
* [[User:Ⅹ|Ⅹ]]
* [https://github.com/marcoEDU/ @marco]
* [https://discuss.noisebridge.info/u/jnaulty jnaulty]
* [[User:r|@r]]
* [[User:jermops|@jermops]]

For SSH access, [https://discuss.noisebridge.info/ post to Discuss] or visit the #Unicorn Slack channel and ask @jslack, @elimisteve.

== DNS Access ==

noisebridge.info is registered on NameCheap.com . As of 2019.02.13, @mindfu, @elimisteve, and @jslack have permission to edit DNS (on NameCheap).

Keeping in mind that <code>*.noisebridge.info</code> already points to Unicorn, if you nonetheless need to edit DNS, tell [[User:Elimisteve|@elimisteve]], [[User:James|@jslack]], or @mindfu your NameCheap username or email.

== Slack SSO ==

Services without their own authentication systems can be shielded a smidge from the ravages of the open internet by placing them behind the basic single sign-on (SSO) gateway at [https://login.noisebridge.info https://login.noisebridge.info].

In the target service's nginx configuration, add <code>include snippets/auth-init.conf;</code> toward the start of the main <code>server</code> block. Somewhere after that, add <code>include snippets/auth-require.conf;</code>, either in the <code>server</code> block or in the specific <code>location</code> block(s) you want to protect. See <code>/etc/nginx/sites-available/printprintprint.noisebridge.info</code> for an example.

Unauthenticated visitors will be redirected to Slack to sign in (via OAuth) with their Noisebridge Slack account, then redirected back to their destination. The login service injects a cookie to keep track of user sessions, and intercepts requests via nginx's <code>auth_request</code> mechanism to check for the presence of a valid cookie. See [https://printprintprint.noisebridge.info https://printprintprint.noisebridge.info] for what this looks like in the wild.

If configured on a reverse proxy-based service, the SSO gateway will automatically pass on the logged-in user's ID and Slack name via the <code>X-Noisebridge-User-ID</code> and <code>X-Noisebridge-User-Name</code> headers, respectively.

Note the intent here isn't to exclude anyone by requiring authentication, but to provide a modicum of protection against drive-by mischief for those services that need it (like OctoPrint).

== Monoprice Ultimate ==

This is presently running a custom flash of Marlin 2.0 - so it's unlikely that UltiGcode will work.

There is not any part cooling fan installed. The wire loom drapes dangerously inside the gantry. Put your model towards the front until this is resolved.

The heating block was loose last I checked it.

Do not attempt to use the SD Card extension cable, it causes read errors.

Use start/end gcode such as: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/wanhao-duplicator-6/forums/general/topic:17580

Configure your slicer for a 200x200x175 build area.

Blue tape is not needed in addition to the buildtak surface, but it doesn't hurt.

TODO:

* Install the part cooling shroud and 24v fan - done!

* Tighten heat block (mysteriously it's working fine as is)

* Install a Bowden cable and attach the wire to it to prevent it from interfering/getting crushed by the gantry.

* Install cotton insulator for heat block (upgraded cooler sometimes cools this area too much. Until then, do not run the fan at 100% out it will give you a heater error.

== Monoprice Miniprinters ==

[[File:Unnamed.jpg|400px]]

We have a number of Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printers ([[Mono-4]],[[Mono-3]], [[Ripley]]). Information on their specifications is found here: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15365. They key thing to note is they have a 12cm cube of buildable area. [http://mpselectmini.com/](MPSelectMini.com) has a wealth of information about them. If you have any problems or successes with the printers please try to log them on their pages if you can.

To print your file on the Monoprice Miniprinters, you can do it one of two ways. [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf Full instruction manual is available].

# Use the THREED 3D Printer Terminal.
# Install the Slic3r software on your own computer.

If you are new to 3D printing, you can start by printing our Noisebridge symbol fridge magnet which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse].

[[File:Noisebridge_logo.jpg]]

=== Printing on your own computer ===
* Install [http://slic3r.org/ Slicer].
* Download the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByPjSf143rlyNXRLeTFMbWR2NHM/view Monoprice printer configuration file].
* Open Slic3r and click File Menu --> Load Config Bundle..
* Select the previously downloaded config file.
* Verify important settings like (see [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf] of manual for more recommendation):
* Printer Settings tab > bed size: 120mm x 120mm
* Printer Settings tab > print size: 60mm x 60mm
* Turn your STL file into a GCODE file with the MONOPRICE settings before putting the GCODE onto an SD card and putting it into the monoprice printer.

=== Printing on the Threed ===

1. Open the Slic3r app

[[File:00_slicer.PNG]]

2. In the Slic3r window, click Add...

[[File:01_slicer_window.PNG]]

3. Choose the file you want to print (there is a test file in /Documents/Slic3r/noisebridgelogo2.stl which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse])

[[File:03_slicer_add_documents_slicer.PNG]]

4. Select the Noisebridge logo file or your own.

[[File:04_noisebridge_logo_file.PNG]]

5. The file shows up in the preview window. Most of the correct settings are pre-loaded with the configuration file, but if you are using a filament other than PLA, you must change the temperature settings under the "Filament Settings" tab. Check the side of the filament spool for the recommended temperature settings and stick to the low end of the range.

[[File:04_slicer_imported.PNG]]

6. Click "Export G-code" to export the g-code file to the SD card (inserted in the computer).

Note: Don't use the path as shown on screen, pick the "F:" drive. Sometimes, the SD-card isn't recognized unless you take out the adapter, insert the SD-card into that and put the whole module in!

[[File:05_export_gcode.PNG]]

7. Remove the SD card from the micro SD card adapter in the Threed computer.

8. Insert SD card gently into a slot on the right side of the 3D printer. You may have to turn the machine off and on again if the SD card is not recognized.

9. Move the knob till it points at "Print" and push it like a button.

9. Turn the knob to choose the file you want to print and push it like a button.

10. If the temperature screen does not say "Preheating" under the extruder side, manually set the preheat temperature by selecting the extruder temp and twisting the knob until the correct temperature is displayed, then push the knob like a button.

11. Watch the progress screen till the temperatures heat up the extruder and platform to the target temperatures (this will take a while so be patient).

12. The printer will start printing.

13. Wait for it to finish and enjoy your finished item by scraping it off the build platform with a thin piece of metal.

14. If the blue masking tape is damaged in the process, remove it and apply some fresh masking tape to the printer surface. Please remember to turn off the printer when you are done printing.

=== Troubleshooting Monoprice Mini Prints ===

# My print isn't sticking to the bed
* Start by replacing the blue painters tape on the print bed. Please don't use Kapton tape for the Monoprice Minis. Kapton tape is expensive and best suited for ABS filaments, which don't print well on the minis.
* Next level the bed. If the extruder nozzle is not extruding or tearing up the tape, it is probably too close. If the filament isn't sticking to the bed, it is probably too far. You can use the four screws on the surface of the bed to raise or lower each corner. The bed is level when a sheet of paper can pass between the nozzle and bed at each corner with only slight resistance. You can find the hex keys for leveling the bed in the 3D printing supplies box (a black plastic bin in the fabrication area).
* Check your temperatures against the manufacturer's recommendations or the 3D printing lab notebook(a composition notebook with helpful printing hints).
* Apply a thin (very light) layer of hairspray to an unheated print bed with a fresh layer of blue painters tape

## Plastic isn't coming out of the extruder
* If the extruder is blocked you can use the "atomic method" to unblock it, detailed here: [http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/10-the]
* If that doesn't work, please tell other people in the space so they can get someone to work on it.

This page is for the 3D print workstation, "Threed". For information about the printers themselves, see: [[3D Printing]]

We have two printers! The FlashForge Creator, and a RepRap Prusa. I've never seen anyone using the Prusa, but the Creator is popular. If anyone knows how to use the Prusa, please update this page!

== Flashforge Creator notes ==

See https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2015-May/046444.html for printer operating instructions.

See this forum page for troubleshooting everything about the printer: http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.php?491-Flashforge-3D-Creator-forum

The Flashforge Creator doesn't seem to work as well on a cold day.

== Quick start: Printing a .stl or .gcode file on the Flashforge Creator using Threed ==

If you've just sat down in front of Threed and the Flashforge Creator, you'll probably see a dark cold printer, and a blank or locked screen. Turn the printer on using the switch on the rear left (next to the power cable) and make sure the USB cable is plugged in to both Threed and the printer.

Drag the lock screen up to get to the desktop, move the mouse to the top left hand corner of the desktop to open the menu, and click 'Show Applications' (3x3 grid at the bottom of the menu), then open Terminal. Type the following:

cd replicatorg-0040
sudo ./replicatorg

Now prepare the build platform (see below) and try out one of the example prints. Select File | Examples | 20mm_Calibration_Box.stl from the top menu, then click Generate GCode. Select the left extruder, no raft, no support material, default gcode, use print-o-matic, 10 infill, 0.27 layer height, 3 shells, 80 feedrate, 100 travel feedrate, 190 print temperature (220 if the air temperature is below about 60F). Click 'Generate GCode'.

Once the GCode generation process is finished, click the 'gcode' tab (above the 3d / gcode display part of the window) and look for this line:

M109 S110 T1 (set HBP temperature)

Change it to:

M109 S90 T1 (set HBP temperature)

(This sets the temperature of the heated build platform to 90C, which is correct for PLA. 110C is good if you're printing with ABS plastic.)

Now click the icon at the top left of the window that looks like an arrow pointing at a bean. The printer should home its platform, then spend some time warming up, and finally do your print!

-- [[User:Myelin]], 30 November 2015

== Preparing the build platform ==

If you're printing in PLA, you want the part of the build platform that'll hold your part to be nicely covered in blue painter's tape. It should be sitting flat on the platform, not all bubbled up (which happens when someone sets the platform temperature too high for the tape). If it looks messy, rip it off and replace it.

Also put a little square of blue tape on the front left of the platform. After warming itself up, the extruder will dump out a bit of plastic in that corner before heading to the center of the platform, and if there's nothing in that corner, it'll end up carrying a messy blob of plastic along with it, and screw up your print.

-- [[User:Myelin]], 30 November 2015

== Printing with ABS ==

I haven't had as much luck with ABS as PLA; it's a more difficult material to use, and you need to tweak the temperatures to get it to work properly. The instructions on top of the Flashforge Creator say to extrude at 230C, and use 80 for both feedrate and travel feedrate. Make sure you select the right hand extruder when generating GCode. I believe 110C is correct for the platform temperature, so you shouldn't need to edit the generated GCode like when printing with PLA.

You should also use kapton tape (translucent orangey stuff) on the build platform as opposed to the usual blue painter's tape.

'''What''': Weekly get-together to solder cool stuff!
: You can easily learn all of the skills you need in one session.
: Make a project tonight, and take it home with you!
: If you have your own project (advanced or simple),
: bring it by, and if you would like help, you can get it!

'''When''': 7:00pm till 10pm or so -- some Mondays (on some Monday holidays, volunteer instructors might announce an Early start of 3:00pm. Look for the info on the discussion and announcements mailing lists: [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss Discussion] [https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-announce Announcements])
: Most projects take about 1.5 to 2 hours

'''Where''': Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St., San Francisco, 94114 (at 18th St., near 16th St. BART station).
:Map: [[Getting_Here]]
'''Who''': You! It is fun to make things in the friendly community of Noisebridge.
:Come join us. Everyone is welcome.

'''Cost''': Instruction is free! We ask that people pay only for the cost of the parts used -- kit prices range from $10 to $35. For more information see the list below for current kits
*'''''[https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Kits#Kits_That_Do_Not_Require_An_Arduino]''''' (The pricelist for the kits is here)

'''Instructors:'''
: volunteers who love soldering
: [[User:Tman66|J]] has also been teaching on a regular basis since April 2015
<br><br>



Learn to solder! [[User:Tman66|J]] and others will bring kits to make cool, practical, intriguing, hackable things that you can bring home after you make it. Of course, you can also bring your own projects to hack.

Plenty of '''cool kits''' have historically been available but most of these are not currently in stock, including:<br>

Anyone can learn to solder! Even if you have never made anything in your life, you can learn this very useful and enjoyable skill. It really is fun! Volunteers at Noisebridge have taught tens of thousands of people to solder all around the world, and they can teach you, too! Add yourself to the ever increasing community!

=== Topics ===
As interest warrants:
* soldering (everything from through-hole to SMD rework)
* breadboarding
* powering your circuit (bench power supplies, ATX hacking, batteries)
* making LEDs blink and fade
* programming microcontrollers
* using AVR / Arduino / Boarduino to make circuits easier
* using oscilloscopes / multimeters to debug circuits
* reverse engineering circuits
* Designing PCBs using GEDA and EagleCAD

=== Who? ===
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level or age. If you have never made a circuit before and have no idea where to start, bring a few dollars ($10 to $30 to cover materials costs of a Brain Machine kit or other cool kits) and build it. Everyone gets personal attention, and everyone will learn enough to complete their project. If you have experience, please come and enjoy working on your project with others -- and share what you know!

=== Why? ===
Learn and share with others of all skill levels! You can come with an idea, or a question, or a circuit you want to hack. You can research ideas on the Internet ahead of time and come put them into practice! Or, you can learn with a large selection of easy-to-make kits that are available each week.

=== What can I bring to help? ===
No need to bring anything -- just yourself and your desire to play, learn, and/or share. We have everything you need. But if you like, you can bring:<br>
* Your own tools (we have all you need, but you can bring your own)
* Arduino / clones
* USB - serial dongle for your Arduino
* breadboards
* If you bring your laptop, we can set it up to program microcontrollers
* 9V or AA or AAA or other batteries (a bulk donation would be great)
* parts for your own project(s)

=== I am a blank slate! What should I do? ===
* make one of the many easy kits that are available each week.
* make an Arduino fade an RGB LED in varying color patterns.
* make a microcontroller illuminate a 3x3 LED matrix in varying shapes.
* reverse engineer something you're curious about.
* come to Noisebridge and brainstorm!<br>

Safe Space:
Alice will explain it although she doesn't understand safe space:
Be excellent to each other. making people uncomfortable is not excellent. If you are uncomfotable or you witness someone else being made uncomfortable then go to a group on the slack channel called space guardians for dealing with space issues. There is a url: pegasus.noisebridge.net/safespace

Participation[edit]
- Jehan: to praticipate at noisebridge is... to... the best thing you can do is to be excellent to each other.
- *Alice steps in to save Jehan*
- probably one of the best things to do is to be excellent to each other.
- the steps for becoming a member are on the wiki
- M(lol)embers have a block vote
- The mechanism of how this problem is done does not require memebers to attend. That is why it is a two week process, to give time to discuss and give an opportunity to block.

Philanthropism[edit]
Described earlier
Membership Binder [edit]
No candidates present

Financial Report[edit]
Funds in bank: $173,255.69!!!!!!!!!!!!
Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary): dead (check with elimisteve)
Tyler wants finances to be open to everyone! To acomplish this he will be posting up to date info on a weekly basis! Below are some examples!
- Weekly cash collections
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19S9YNHdM2S7gpzPm3l5G8mbBo52TtwrORqCvGs5eP9A/edit#gid=0
- Reimbursements
- https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15HsJqcqxwcBZn6UgK7xR6YD3C6UFLBwOcBmbB8Xy6yI/edit#gid=0

*Tyler tries to hijack projector screen*
*promises to give it back*
*matt says you keep the screen! he needs a break*

- tyler started collecting cash
- shows the audience a spreadsheet
- talks about how he started collecting cash, shows us more data
- matt says he can destroy the old cash box as a joke lol
- the audience is looking at the broken cash box
- A lock may have been able to jiggle open
- "Neet to get Reimbursed? Let Tyler know!" tyler.maran@gmail.com / @themanmaran on slack & discuss
- Use a beefy ass lock / "beefy" ass lock
- We collect around 40-70 dollars a day in cash
- We reimburse people fro contributing to the space
- two funds. one pays 100%, one pays 50%. 100% for fixing stuff in the space?
- For example someone was reimbursed for saw stop
- Alice raises the concept that maybe its a good idea to reimburse 100%
- If you want to buy something new for the space then reimbursement may be 50-50
- info on discretionary fund is in consensus items
-
- Financials: donations are down, becuase of the cash theft that was happening
- We could put our money into a higher interest accoutn and get an extra 4k per year
- We are above the amount that we were supposed to spend with Scanduzzi Krebs and they have not been asked to stop.
- Scanduzzi krebs is a grant consultant
- The fundraising team has not discussed whether to keep scanduzzi krebs
- We should stop paying Scanduzzi Krebs because the money limit set by the prior consensus items has run out
- Alice has not seen the people in the fundraising commitee because they have not been in fundraising meetings for the past few weeks
- Brief history of fundraising group: Hired Scanduzzi to do fundraising becuase this guy thought that there was no better investment than fundraising, there was a call but it was very hard to get people involved. The original fundraising team has been at each others throats for a while.
- Alice originally came to solve the burnout problem.
- R has a direct response: What happened to the Tuesday meetings
- WE PAID SCANDUZZI KREBS $1000 to ATTEND THE GALA lol!
- What is Scanduzzi doing for us? Not Scanduzzi's fault that we've spent a lot of money on them. You have to understand what you are spending money on. We werent' sure what we wanted. Scanduzzi did everything they could. They have presented us with different avenues to try. They are putting grants in front of us. There are a lot of other things that go into grants. They get us meetings with local politicians. They put packages together so that we can try it out.

Consensus[edit]
- We are outside of the proposed consensus limits for hiring Krebs (consulting). The consensus was to cover $29,000 of total spend.
- Payments to Scanduzzi Krebs will be paused until there is another consensus item authorizing new funds for them.

Proposal for Noisebridge to move to 668 Geurerro street
- Rent is about a 50% increase
- Concrete floors
- No neighbors
- Option to purchase for 4mm
- 2.5 blocks from current NB location
- Access to BART
- Geurrero is much less sketchy than Mission
- Early move in clause gives us 2 months of free rent
- 10k per month for the first year, 1k step ups per year up to 13k.
- I am raising geurroro for consensus because it is good for NB
- New location gives NB a blank slate to reivnet
- Option to purchase the building gives a fundraising goal
-

Discussion of Consensus Item[edit]
- Cons: the cost
- But our rent here may be raised again
- There is a 100k fine which may be imposed on us or maybe the landlord at the current location, Details available here http://dbiweb.sfgov.org/dbipts/default.aspx?page=Permit&PermitNumber=201712217127&Stepin=1 (click "Show Site Permit Details") and additional details regarding hte building are available here: http://propertymap.sfplanning.org/ (enter address)
- Ruth started a message with Trent and some other people about reaching out with current landlord to renegotiate lease. But there have been no discussions yet
- Jarrod is trying to schedule a 3-4 hour tour of the building and do a timing and cost estimate on what needs to be done to it
- R: Trent is a Member who has communicated with the landlord before
- R: we recently talked to the property manager who says that we are back in an ok standing with the landlord
- Alice has teed up a real estate partner at perkins
- Calling the city is something anyone can do. Communications with the city have been really stretched out over months.
- R: One of the big expenses of staying at current location is potential fees and fines
- The 92k fee is related to the fact that we are in a space that is not zoned correctly for Noisebridge. The $92,000 fee is for the permit for zoning change, which we would cancel if we moved. So moving would make this fee go away.
- Elevators have also caused additional legal risk and have unresolved costs. yo
- Having the option to buy a building is awesome
- A new space gives people a blank slate to create their own stuff. Everyone could gain skills.
- Our biggest issue is defining what the fuck we are as relates to zoning

- (Out of order) We need the views of the architect and electricians who are going to go to spend 3-4 hours to tour the space with Tyler.
- Mark: it's june, we need to pass something now or never.

THIS CONSENSUS ITEM WILL GO THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY and if it is not blocked next week it will pass. Plea for additional Members attend.

- 501(c)(3) status. Deductions are available. Individuals can contribute and deduct amounts contributed. In certain circumstances, appreciated property may be eligible for deduction at fair market value without recognition of built in gain.

- June 25 meeting - board meeting - how will non-members attend or witness the board meeting?

Proposals for next week [edit]

Consensus item next week for 668 Guerrero

Discussion[edit]
DISCUSSION TIME! (10:23PM)
- Chaos Communications Camp!
- In germany. At a campground. Tents and stuff like that. It's like NoiseBridge
- Chaos computer club is a thing
- Looking to organize a camp.
- Getting tickets is a fiasco. You need to be part of an organization to get it (hint hint NoiseBridge)
- Camp is in late august - but the tickets are selling out now. Act fast!
- This has been posted in discuss.
- Matt says: part of the impetus (good vocab word) of starting noisebridge was CCC!

- Matt got access to social media! Woooo that's cool. You can get in touch with Matt. He is Matt. Sometimes he wears a 'Matt' nametag that has LED's on it. @mpmkenna8 on lots of internet things

- Tyler requests a Finance category - Matt (other matt)[rando matt] say ok!

Mpmckenna8: adding notes from tonights meeting.

https://pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting

----------->8----------

These are the notes from the [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Meeting_Notes The XXXth Meeting of Noisebridge]. Date: May 28, 2019 Note-taker: Matt; Moderators: tyler.
* '''followed the general template but skipped someparts.'''

Instructions[edit]
Congratulations and/or condolences! You're reading this because you're participating in a meeting of Noisebridge!
Meetings should be limited to an hour when possible. Shorter is fine, but avoid rushing.
You should read this instructional section thoroughly, and treat them as a guideline for how to host a meeting of Noisebridge. There are three ingredients to an Excellent meeting: A number of note takers, some facilitators, and participants.
Meetings are just one of the tools used at Noisebridge to create net forward progress on whatever it is we're all trying to do. Meetings aren't the only way to make decisions or have discussions, and in fact its usually a much better idea to talk about things outside the meeting before dragging the entire community kicking and screaming into it.
Note Takers[edit]
Confirm last meeting was saved
Check Last meeting page to confirm the Riseup pad notes were saved there at end of last meeting.
Does the text date match the page date? Great!
If not and the Riseup pad looks like last week, copy the unsaved notes into Last meeting. If you need to clear up confusion, check the meeting notes archiveto make sure.
Take new notes
Open the shared text editor pad on our sandstorm instance.
Project the notes in real time for all to see and announce the URL to collaboratively take notes on the major points of the meeting.
Copy paste the Meeting Notes Template] markup into the Riseup pad.
Begin lines with * or separate lines with blank space because Mediawiki syntax ignores single carriage returns.
Save and share the notes at the end of the meeting (instructions at the bottom).
Facilitators[edit]
There are generally two kinds of facilitator roles at a Noisebridge meeting:
Stack taker - Useful when a lot of folks want to hop on the discussion stack. This gives everyone a turn to have their feelings heard. Usually only works when there is exactly one stack taker.
Moderators - Keeps the meeting moving and prevents everyone from wasting too much time on one subject. Anyone is free to pick up moderation and move the meeting along.
In general, moderators should:
Understand the structure of Noisebridge decision-making
Make sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
Speak only minimally yourself.
Keep the meeting moving, and avoid getting bogged down.
Identify discussion items, arrange times limits for talking about each item.
Identify and summarize consensus, suggest things that need to be done.
Get the membership binder and ensure that it is returned safely.
Participants[edit]
Everyone at a Noisebridge meeting who has consented to participating in one is a participant!
Say your name before you talk.
Remain on-topic, and speak as concisely as possible.
Assist the note-taker with any links or corrections that are needed.
Remain respectful of other participants, their time, and the consensus and moderation process.

DELETE EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE WHEN YOU POST THE MEETING MINUTES KTHX!!!

Introduce any experimental or unusual moderation techniques that may be using during the meeting like: direct responses, limited speaking time, orderless stack, &c.
Round of introductions (remember, announcements come later):
What is your name?
What pronoun do you use? You don't need to feel pressure to work out your entire identity -- just let us know what to call you when we talk about you in the third person.
What do you do ?
What do you maintain at Noisebridge?
If you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge?
teresa - she her - drawing group with pencils and paper, noise music, maybe do a group meeting thing
Natalie = she her - hangs out, likes code, music, electronics
Matt - likes lots
freddy - he him - italian, loves nb. data python nerd
ibbi - he him - maker, drawer, stuff
kayvon - multidiscipline artist, board member of clarion ally
charlie - into it
jon - sec decentralization linux
alice - she her - attorney, founded restore the fourth and has been coming since. into helping nb to next phase.
gwen - into sewing and other stuff
zach - opensource smart shoes, web stuff, crowd funding platform dev

Short announcements and events[edit]
Cool new projects? Something you'd like people to know? Say now, but keep it short! One or two sentences please!
Any happenings at the space of which members should be made aware.
Don't hog everyone's time since we all just want to hack!
Check Newsbridge for weekly updates on cool things at Noisebridge, possibly not announced at the meeting.
Safe Space[edit]
Note: This section is experimental. We discussed it at Meeting_Notes_2016_06_28. We're going to try it for the next meeting, and see how it goes, and then discuss in the discussion section how it went, and how we'd like to tweak it.
Noisebridge is a safe space. Invite a volunteer to describe what that means.
Some specific points you might prompt the group to touch on, if it doesn't happen naturally:
What to do if you feel uncomfortable.
Noisebridge strives to be radically inclusive. What does that mean?
Noisebridge has an antiharassment policy. What does that mean?

alice - affiliated with sudo room (omni commons), they just moved and they bought the building. Someone who spearheaded that would be happy to talk to people at NB about experience of fundraising and buying a property.
Matt - come to critical mass friday.

Participation[edit]
Invite a knowledgable volunteer to describe who can participate at Noisebridge, including:
Describe how to get an rfid key for the door system
Describe how to get access to slack
Philanthropists[edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe Philantropy, and the application process.
Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Any applicants must have their sponsor present to vouch for them.
If there are no objections, they're a philanthropist! Their pledge should be handed over to the Secretary posthaste, after which their token will be updated to give them the 24/7 access they've earned(?)
Membership Binder [edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe membership, and the application process.
Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community and space better than it is today.
Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Mark down a check or other indicator on every open application to keep track of how many weeks they've been read out.
Anyone eligible to join this week should
introduce themselves,
answer any questions members may have for them, then
leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join.
Remember to applaud new members when they return.

Financial Report[edit]
Funds in bank:
Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):
Any other details by those participating in handling our financials
The latest financial reports from the treasurer are available at https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Finances
Consensus[edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give a brief primer on consensus process
It is important that everyone in attendance understands at least:
blocking with verbalized principled objections.
why we use consensus over other approaches to decision making.
how consensus isn't a legislative process
why consensus isn't applicable to some things like conflict resolution, resolution of time sinks, and the like.
Proposals from last week [edit]
(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the Consensus Items History page.)
Proposals for next week [edit]
(Add any new items for consensus to the Current Consensus Items page.)
Discussion[edit]
Longer discussion items belong here. This is the last part of the meeting so that people can break off and continue their discussion afterwards.

Discussing

* alice - how to best do sudo room person presentation
- Make sure we can get relevant people at the meeting. how to best do timing.
-tyler - sometimes polls on discuss can be really helpful. Maybe nicole would be essential. maybe lady red, ryan, victoria.
- matt - many financial/fundraising meetings use google hangouts and we could try to record it so anyone could catch it.

* tyler - new space discussion
- seen lots of spaces, 17th and guerrero site looks great 668 guerrero, bigger, ground level access, needs some work. awesome space, more expensive, starts 10000. four year lease with step up of 1000 per year. can lock in purchase price, of 4 million. we would have early access as soon as we sign a lease. Just got terms agreed and we should get moving on it if we're going to do it.
Not sure of alternatives.
possible to stay, but it seems tenuous.
trent has been main contact with landlord.
Understand more about code violation we should look into it.
- need to respond to guerrero. and decide on future space pretty soon.
- We'd need permits for lots of stuff.
- repairs and electrician stuff and other infrastrure will take lots of time and cost and we should plan it
- big increase in rent, can our balance handle it?
- main finance person thinks it looks ok
- could we charge for classes maybe as a revenue source? and talking about how that could be excellent and fit in norms.

* Clarion alley and how they could collaborate with NB
- "grant writing" and fundraising strategy sharing.
- artwork with fundraising for "auctions" and space "decor".
- can have co-events type "things".
- how can we "collab" more?
- other groups have also wanted to collaborate
* drawing group possibility
- discuss a great place to start discussion on a group
- for recurring event use meetup, bernice is great for that. can also put on the wiki

Oliver - "And friends", innaugural event for artists and stuff, probably 100+ people.
- events are lots of work, make sure it's adequately staffed or daytime noisebridgers get the results.
- Can move lots of stuff aournd and restructure the space.
- can contact organizers through email

* laser status?
- temporarily down b/c someone removed a filter and it vents need to get cleaned.

Discussion Items[edit]
If any important discussion happens, it should be happening after forward progress is made during consensus.
End of Meeting[edit]
Return the membership binder to its rightful location.
Discuss any items for which there was not time during the meeting.
Enjoy the company of your fellow hacker, robot, or robothacker.
Note taker posts the notes[edit]
Clean and tidy the meeting notes including removing all these really verbose instructions.
Fill out the short summary at the top listing just announcements, consensus items, discussion topics, and names of new members and philanthropists.
Copy paste the notes to the next meeting page. (They will become Last meeting at midnight.)
Email the meeting summary to Noisebridge Discuss and Noisebridge Announce lists.
CC on the email treasurer@noisebridge.net and secretary@noisebridge.net if there are new members and philanthropists.
Edit the Current Consensus Items if anything is proposed for consensus next week.
Edit the Consensus Items History if anything was reached consensus or failed to reach consensus this week.
Fun things to do after[edit]
Reprise of the Hackernationale. [This is anarchy - we do what the wiki says!]
PGP Key Signing could happen now (if it doesn't happen before any given Meeting). Ask others around the space or check the list to see who wants in on the action.

== Monoprice Ultimate ==

This is presently running a custom flash of Marlin 2.0 - so it's unlikely that UltiGcode will work.

There is not any part cooling fan installed. The wire loom drapes dangerously inside the gantry. Put your model towards the front until this is resolved.

The heating block was loose last I checked it.

Do not attempt to use the SD Card extension cable, it causes read errors.

Use start/end gcode such as: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/wanhao-duplicator-6/forums/general/topic:17580

Configure your slicer for a 200x200x175 build area.

Blue tape is not needed in addition to the buildtak surface, but it doesn't hurt.

TODO:

* Install the part cooling shroud and 24v fan - done!

* Tighten heat block (mysteriously it's working fine as is)

* Install a Bowden cable and attach the wire to it to prevent it from interfering/getting crushed by the gantry.

* Install cotton insulator for heat block (upgraded cooler sometimes cools this area too much. Until then, do not run the fan at 100% out it will give you a heater error.

== Monoprice Miniprinters ==

[[File:Unnamed.jpg|400px]]

We have a number of Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printers. Information on their specifications is found here: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15365. They key thing to note is they have a 12cm cube of buildable area. [http://mpselectmini.com/](MPSelectMini.com) has a wealth of information about them.

To print your file on the Monoprice Miniprinters, you can do it one of two ways. [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf Full instruction manual is available].

# Use the THREED 3D Printer Terminal.
# Install the Slic3r software on your own computer.

If you are new to 3D printing, you can start by printing our Noisebridge symbol fridge magnet which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse].

[[File:Noisebridge_logo.jpg]]

=== Printing on your own computer ===
* Install [http://slic3r.org/ Slicer].
* Download the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByPjSf143rlyNXRLeTFMbWR2NHM/view Monoprice printer configuration file].
* Open Slic3r and click File Menu --> Load Config Bundle..
* Select the previously downloaded config file.
* Verify important settings like (see [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf] of manual for more recommendation):
* Printer Settings tab > bed size: 120mm x 120mm
* Printer Settings tab > print size: 60mm x 60mm
* Turn your STL file into a GCODE file with the MONOPRICE settings before putting the GCODE onto an SD card and putting it into the monoprice printer.

=== Printing on the Threed ===

1. Open the Slic3r app

[[File:00_slicer.PNG]]

2. In the Slic3r window, click Add...

[[File:01_slicer_window.PNG]]

3. Choose the file you want to print (there is a test file in /Documents/Slic3r/noisebridgelogo2.stl which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse])

[[File:03_slicer_add_documents_slicer.PNG]]

4. Select the Noisebridge logo file or your own.

[[File:04_noisebridge_logo_file.PNG]]

5. The file shows up in the preview window. Most of the correct settings are pre-loaded with the configuration file, but if you are using a filament other than PLA, you must change the temperature settings under the "Filament Settings" tab. Check the side of the filament spool for the recommended temperature settings and stick to the low end of the range.

[[File:04_slicer_imported.PNG]]

6. Click "Export G-code" to export the g-code file to the SD card (inserted in the computer).

Note: Don't use the path as shown on screen, pick the "F:" drive. Sometimes, the SD-card isn't recognized unless you take out the adapter, insert the SD-card into that and put the whole module in!

[[File:05_export_gcode.PNG]]

7. Remove the SD card from the micro SD card adapter in the Threed computer.

8. Insert SD card gently into a slot on the right side of the 3D printer. You may have to turn the machine off and on again if the SD card is not recognized.

9. Move the knob till it points at "Print" and push it like a button.

9. Turn the knob to choose the file you want to print and push it like a button.

10. If the temperature screen does not say "Preheating" under the extruder side, manually set the preheat temperature by selecting the extruder temp and twisting the knob until the correct temperature is displayed, then push the knob like a button.

11. Watch the progress screen till the temperatures heat up the extruder and platform to the target temperatures (this will take a while so be patient).

12. The printer will start printing.

13. Wait for it to finish and enjoy your finished item by scraping it off the build platform with a thin piece of metal.

14. If the blue masking tape is damaged in the process, remove it and apply some fresh masking tape to the printer surface. Please remember to turn off the printer when you are done printing.

=== Troubleshooting Monoprice Mini Prints ===

# My print isn't sticking to the bed
* Start by replacing the blue painters tape on the print bed. Please don't use Kapton tape for the Monoprice Minis. Kapton tape is expensive and best suited for ABS filaments, which don't print well on the minis.
* Next level the bed. If the extruder nozzle is not extruding or tearing up the tape, it is probably too close. If the filament isn't sticking to the bed, it is probably too far. You can use the four screws on the surface of the bed to raise or lower each corner. The bed is level when a sheet of paper can pass between the nozzle and bed at each corner with only slight resistance. You can find the hex keys for leveling the bed in the 3D printing supplies box (a black plastic bin in the fabrication area).
* Check your temperatures against the manufacturer's recommendations or the 3D printing lab notebook(a composition notebook with helpful printing hints).
* Apply a thin (very light) layer of hairspray to an unheated print bed with a fresh layer of blue painters tape

## Plastic isn't coming out of the extruder
* If the extruder is blocked you can use the "atomic method" to unblock it, detailed here: [http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/10-the]
* If that doesn't work, please tell other people in the space so they can get someone to work on it.

=== Printing from your own laptop ===
# Software Installation
## Download and install [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm FTDI Drivers].
## Download and install [http://replicat.org/download ReplicatorG].
# Software Configuration
## Open ReplicatorG.
## Choose the menu '''File > Open...''' and select the STL file you want to print (It will probably be in your downloads folder if you got it from a web site like Thingiverse.).
## Choose the menu '''Machine > Machine Type > The Replicator Dual'''.
## Choose the menu '''Machine > Connection (Serial port) > /dev/tty.usbmodem1411'''.
##
# Generate GCode from your STL file.
# Click Connect to device. (If you have trouble, see Connection Troubleshooting below.)

* Connection Troubleshooting
** Connection error: The serial port named '/dev/tty.usbmodem1411' could not be found.
*** It may not be turned on and plugged in.
* Printing Troubleshooting
** It stops printing midway through.
*** Are you browsing the Internet memes with Replicator in the background? It can't print very far in the background. Alt-tab/command-tab to bring ReplicatorG to foreground every time it stops and it will resume. This is one of the main reasons to start using the SD card to print: You can use your computer for other things without slowing down or stopping prints.

=== Printing from an SD card ===
# Put files ending in .gcode on an SD card
# Insert SD card into the side-facing slot on the front right side of the case.
# Press DOWN ARROW till you reach Print from SD card
# Press CENTER SELECT

= Filaments =
There are many colors of filament spools to use for printing projects. Take note of which plastic type your filament is and choose settings appropriately. The wrong plastic can damage the printer and make your prints look look like drek.

* Note: Replicator defaults are feedrate 40 and 220 degrees C. Setting them to feedrate 80 brings up an accelerated settings warning. The printer is ready to handle 80.

== ABS Plastic ==
* Feedrate: 80
* Travel feedrate: 80
* Temperature: 230 degrees C
* Buildplate 110 degrees C
* Print on yellow kapton tape
* Smells like cancer

Flaschen Taschen

2019-05-14T19:47:10Z

Mpmckenna8: /* Network protocol and Utilities to send content */ Adding a node module I made and have been using to interact with the flaschentaschen.

[[File:Noisebridge_Logo_FlaschenTaschen.jpg|1024px]]

===What's the project?===

The Award Winning FlaschenTaschen is a 10’ by 9’ (3m x 2.75m) video display made out of clear glass bottles, milk crates, RGB LED strings (with a total of 1575 LEDs), and a controller board. Each bottle is capped with a single addressable RGB LED. The bottoms of the bottles act as lenses for the emitted light. The project has a German name as homage to c-base’s [http://matelight.rocks/ Mate-Light] project. After seeing Mate-Light at Chaos Communication Congress, we were inspired to build a similar project at Noisebridge to present at the 2016 Maker Faire.

Another inspirational build is the [http://www.zuloark.com/muro-de-botellas/ Muro de botellas] project.

Our goal was to have it completed for [http://makerfaire.com/bay-area/ Maker Faire 2016] to be shown as part of our booth and we were two weeks ahead of schedule. After the MakerFaire, the display will be permanently installed within Noisebridge and possibly made available for events.

Our code and hardware that drives up to 16 LED strips from a Raspberry Pi is on [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen-Taschen github]. We only need 9 strips in this project, one for each crate column. The update rate of the full FlaschenTaschen display is up to 160fps!

[[File:ft-pi-breakout.jpg|200px|The breakout board, driving up to 16 SPI LED strips.]]

Here is the first view of the completed project

[[File:ft-back-of-the-crates.jpg|200px|Back of the crates]]

Backstage view.

=== Network protocol and Utilities to send content ===

The network protocol is quite simple: essentially send a PPM picture (P6) in a UDP packet to ft.noise:1337.

For instance, try the following all in the comfort of you shell (in bash, to be precise, that conveniently provides the /dev/udp pseudo-path):

bash$ jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | stdbuf -o64k pnmscale -xysize 45 35 > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

Flaschen Taschen accepts a footer that defines an offset in x,y space as well as a layer z index. To write images which cover the default demo visualization, you can send a higher -index by appending this footer after your sends. We still need to make sure to send everything in one packet, so on the shell this is a bit awkward as we first have to store the full content temporarily in a file. For instance, to position the image at (x=0 y=0, z=5):

bash$ ( jpegtopnm myimage.jpg | pnmscale -xysize 45 35; echo "0 0 5" ) > /tmp/tmp-out ; cat /tmp/tmp-out > /dev/udp/ft.noise/1337

There are [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/tree/master/client#flaschen-taschen-clients utilities in the repository] to send and scroll arbitrary images (including animated gifs), videos or text, so the above, sending an image to layer 5, would be as simple as:

bash:flaschen-taschen/client$ ./send-image -l5 myimage.jpg

There is a C++ and Python client library that you can use right away to send images to FlaschenTaschen including a couple of examples.
It is simple to write your own client in any language that supports networking (See [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen/blob/master/doc/protocols.md#protocols protocols section] in documentation). There is also a Node.js module flaschenode in the npm registry (https://www.npmjs.com/package/flaschenode). Or you can clone it from github or help hack on it if somehow you have node working but don't like npm (https://github.com/mpmckenna8/flashenode).

'''See all the details here:''' https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen

===FlaschenToy===

One of the examples in the [https://github.com/hzeller/flaschen-taschen Flaschen Taschen github] is FlaschenToy.

This is a Flask app that sends the contents of a WebGL canvas to the Flaschen Taschen. The web page takes [http://nehe.gamedev.net/article/glsl_an_introduction/25007/ GLSL] code from a text area input, and displays it on the Flaschen Taschen using the the [https://www.shadertoy.com/howto ShaderToy] conventions.

It is currently hosted on [https://noisebridge.noise noisebridge] you can try it at: http://noisebridge.noise/FlaschenToy

I've not added it to the to the startup scripts, so if that site is dead you can restart on by running ''sudo run.sh'' in ~/github/flaschen-taschen/examples-api-use/flask (you'll need to be logged in as noisebridge and have the admin password)

Try pasting some of the shaders from the ShaderToy page: https://www.shadertoy.com/browse into the text area

Most examples will just work. E.g. this meta ball example:
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/Mss3WN

The code is currently in my fork of the project (will get merged into main page in the future):

===Rough Take-down Procedure===

Flaschen Taschen takedown and setup notes: (does not include electronics)
2016-06-13 draft by [[user:jarrod|Jarrod]]

! Take pictures of how things are setup for reference!

! Take care to collect all the parts as you disassemble, there are many parts and some are small, but important!

*1_Remove all power cables from rear. Make note of how they are run to the power supplies

*2_Disconnect all data connections, remember there are typically two per crate. Take a photo of how they are routed to the breakout board on the raspberry pi.
NOTE: The crates have an orientation. Remember this. Take a photo

*3_Remove the 2” green tie down strap. This is tricky there are two metal latches in line with the handles that need to be pulled in tandem to release the ratchet. While pulling on the latches it may be necessary to add tension to the tie down to get it to release, since we do not tighten it very much during install.

*4_The wooden vertical supports are connected to four of the top crates by a wood screw
Remove these screws. The supports are kind of floppy and are really only meant to be supportive in a direction parallel to the face of the display
During setup any forward or backward lean of the display can be adjusted slightly by screwing these supports back on to the top crates at a distance that pushes them forward or pulls them backward

*5_Once the cables and supports are disconnected the RELEASABLE cable ties can be removed from the crates. Please do not cut the ties, as you will need them to set the display back up

*6_Stack the crates in stacks of 4. This is a good height to move with a hand truck. Make sure that the power jacks and date cables are not hanging over the edges of each crate before another crate is placed on top of it, so as to not damage the wires and connectors.

NOTE: The bottom row of crates do not have bottles with LEDs, so as to provide a space for the hardware and lift the display of the floor for improved visibility.

NOTE: The two end crates have 2x4 supports in them. The others have plywood. The assembly is not symmetrical, but each crate has at least one support. Together they are almost exactly as long as the base. These also get zip tied together, but they are harder to tie.

*7_Stack up the base crates. These are also good for holding all the hardware, zip ties, bolts (in a bag), and cables for transport.

*8_Remove the vertical supports from the base by unscrewing them. (iirc: this is done with a 7/16” wrench/socket.) Have someone hold the vertical supports while unscrewing. Keep all parts and set aside. NOTE how those washers are used. It is important that bolts not be able to rip through the wood.

*9_Flip the base over. There are three bolts in the center that hold it together. Remove these.

Congratulations, You have now turned the FlaschenTaschen into parts for shipping.

The setup procedure is essentially the reverse of this. Just remember:

*A_Bring tools. Wrenches for the bolts, a screwdriver for the tops of the vertical supports, and a ladder.

*B_The crates have an orientation. At the forward edge (display side) of each crate there is Velcro. The hook side should be on the top and the loop side should be on the bottom. This is typical for all crates except the base which only have the hook side Velcro on the top.

*C_Do not tighten the tie down very much. Its purpose is merely to squeeze the crates together so they can’t move individually. The zip ties do most of the work

*D_Try to align the forward faces of the crates as best as possible, but realize that it will never come out perfect. If a column is going out of vertical the crates above can be installed a little fore or aft of the face of the display to make up for it.

*E_People have already sent images of genitalia to be displayed on the screen, so get over it.

charlie: looking for notes from 4/16 from meeting
tyler: checking out 2 potential spaces on Thursday, seeking people to come and give an opinion. Would love to hear other opinions on these!
tyler: LOI's to landlords. Our front page of noisebridge

================
>>ANNOUNCEMENTS-2:
Charles: question: who was the note take on April 16, 2019? Notes not present. Ryan stated he has copies of some meeting/un-meeting notes, will look for April 16 meeting notes.

Tyler: #1: has narrowed down new RE candidates to two good choices. Wants as many NBers as possible to do the tour.
May be tax advantage to be non-profit tenant.

#2: too many NB web pages state we can't afford to pay high rent, RE agents object, we need to change/expunge these statements. Less negative, more positive.

Discussion on subject of who has access to change NB pages, etc.
super q is a person who can update this but is in Berlin.
general: there is no one in SF who regularly attends NB who has access to the critical infrastructure here, that needs to change.

Ryan: has many volunteers for Maker's Faire. Making progress, still much to do.

Charlie: elevator not fixed anytime soon. The repairman was here, left. Then a State inspector arrived, failed the elevator/us, probably wrote us up. We need to have a professional firm inspect and fix the elevator at considerable expense. Need glass in the window, ++. The building was constructed in 1922, the elevator is probably almost 100 years old.

Manny: it's important for Noisebridge to find a new place. He invites us to visit Manny's: the focus is civil rights, justice. MANNY'S 3092 16th Street, San Francisco, CA, at Valencia. Tomorrow, an event about "How IPOs affect San Francisco, the real estate market, etc." Listed other recent and future events. Restaurant, book store, kitchen training has graduated six people, not about profit. NB community is welcome. Facebook Manny's. http://www.welcometomannys.com/ Governor's chief of staff will make presentation soon.

Dave: bay area action to free julian assange, events going on, @BayAssange, https://bayaction2freeassange.org/

Ryan: NB has a threadless shop online, with lots of cool stuff, hasn't made a ton of money yet.

Tyler: selene a, a gala performer wants to come back! maybe june 1st for event with recommended donations.

Jarrod: East bay bike lights party. Take BART over, leave at 7PM, start riding at 8PM. Bring your bike. Tomorrow Wednesday, May 8, 2019.

Zab: wants to have an open-mike event as a fundraiser, needs help organizing. NB has FiveMinutesOfFame on Thursdays, open mike, but needs publicity, marketing, else disappointing. Hand out flyers, etc.

Matt: Maker Faire coming up: Move the Flaschen Taschen. Dates of the Faire: Friday-Sunday, May 17, 18 and 19. We will load the truck late on Wednesday May 15, then drive the items to the Maker's Faire and set up on Thursday May 16.

==========================================================
>>NEW APPLICATIONS FOR PHILANTHROPIST or MEMBER THIS WEEK:

Names read out, none of the people were present.

NOTE: Weekly Tuesday meeting notes are important, but are not legally required. The NB board meets once a year in a formal setting.

===================================
>>WHAT IS CONSENSUS AT NOISEBRIDGE?

NB is a Do-ocracy.

Not majority rule.

Example of treating others with excellence: Warn those who are here at NB when-you-are planning to be hammering noisily.

Be excellent to one another.

TWO WEEK PROCESS: When we have something that fundamentally changes what it means to be Noisebridge like buying a building, or other major business decisions, then consensus is a two-week process: 1) notify many of what is to be considered, 2) it must be brought up at a meeting, 3) posted in line in all the right places, 4) put into the binder, 5) discussed at a 2nd meeting, 6) decide whether to vote in favor, 7) any one person can block it, but they must explain why they blocked: why the change will make the person feel uncomfortable being a member of NB.

r.: Some people believe this: If there is a large majority in favor, and only one person blocking, block may be ignored.

Consensus is about no one strongly disagrees, though they may not be in favor.

Should be thorough, everyone involved should state their reasoning.

If properly posted online, can assume it has been seen by many.

Perhaps few will attend the meeting but it may be because they agree with the item.

Presently there are three designations: there is 1) "Philanthropist" and also 2) "Trusted Philanthropist", who has more powers, and then also 3) "Member". There have been various types of membership in the past.

==================
>>DISCUSSION ITEMS

Ryan: Maker Fair. Tuesday and Fridays there will be Maker Faire meetings.

Melody: can't sign up for an account on discuss, and neither could Charlie

Charlie: has seen infrastructure stuff on discuss, wants to help, doesn't know where to start.
ryan: one of the most active that comes to the space, agrees we need a better inventory w/ contact info for admins.

Tyler: would like to have an active admin/rep on the Github Repo.
r.: we can make a list of people. We have various Github admins/people who have attended. There are a number of owners: Victoria, Super q, Trent, _______, John Shutt, Patrick (doesn't want to be involved with NB), Nicole. The wiki, email list, etc. Super q main person who makes revisions. He visits San Francisco once or twice a year.

Has anyone read the discuss page on rack?

Ryan: anyone have time to update wiki with all the different systems we have accounts with and systems in place, not names, but number of active people who maintain. Matt M: need one person to be responsible. It's called the "infrastructure Github repository" at github.

Ryan: MAKER FAIR AND OTIS ELEVATOR: The Maker Fair takes place in a week and two days: May 17, 18, 19, set up on Thursday May 16. NB will put stuff on the truck on Wednesday May 15, NEED THE ELEVATOR: 1-Flaschen Taschen, 2-Ordibooth, 3-N-Glack, 4-VR Setup.
r: we are responsible for first $10,000 of elevator repairs, then we split any further amount. Otis guy has been here 2-3 times so far. We are probably paying him. Don't know if Otis has submitted bills. Someone will talk to Nicole.
There was conversation about cutting the Ordibooth into smaller pieces, putting those through the windows, down to a truck on the ground [or perhaps sliding them down planks on the stairs]. It would then be welded back into one piece at the Maker Faire.

Tyler: we have more money than we thought. "Rogue Like" event, we earned $11,000, paid sponsors $10,000, we netted $1,000, but we never paid the $10,000. Sponsors are chill.
r: I believe they have taken some money if you look at the finance-wg channel.

Ryan: looking thru all volunteers, it looks like Thursday May 16, we have 6 to help set up. We need one more person each day Friday, Sat, Sunday. We have enough to help pack the truck on Wednesday, the 15th. Two projects absolutely require the elevator: Ordibooth and N-Glack. We have wired internet/ethernet at San Mateo Fair Grounds/Maker Fair. Probably won't be able to bring N-Glack. It's unlikely the elevator will be parts-sourced, installed, repaired and inspected and back in service in the next 8 days. WE NEED MORE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT AND WORK ON THE MAKER FAIR. PLEASE VOLUNTEER.

Meeting Notes 2019 04 30

Mpmckenna8: Meeting notes for today

https://pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting

These are the notes from the The ???th Meeting of Noisebridge. Date: FIXME THE DATE HERE Note-taker: Xander Johnson (@metasyn); Moderators: Matt McKenna (@mpmckenna8).

** NOTE : Sorry if I fucked up your name or pronouns - (Xander)
https://pad.riseup.net/p/nbmeeting

These are the notes from the The ???th Meeting of Noisebridge. Date: FIXME THE DATE HERE Note-taker: Xander Johnson; Moderators: Matt McKenna (@mpmckenna8).

** NOTE : Sorry if I fucked up your name or pronouns - (Xander)

Matt is here. He does web development stuff.
Rassul is here too. He knows python and does cool stuff.
Ben is here too! He is web developer. He hacks on random open source stuff. Wikipedia FTW - and has a meetup about it.
Elisa is here. They do new (she thinks). And does 2D art.
Tyler is also here! So many people here. They love the awesome people and crazy projects; web dev, word working (but not limited to)
Katherine (sp) - is here - third time here. Is an artist - does sculpture
Izzy (she/her) ; C, C++, Rust, Python - Compuster Science FTW (NO GOLANG OR JAVA POR FAVOR); available to answer stuff on C++ --> down to electrical stuff
Xander is here too! He is very new.
Ryan (he/him) helps take care of things - does research on ERRYTHANG. In charge of makerfaire
Michael (he/him) - loves noise bridge ; helps restore faith in humanity - audio/video/web stuff
Freddy - originally from italy - left for a few months but is back. Data science - data stuff, python, etc.
riley - learning programming
ayre has been here... 17 times? They're in love this with this place after being away for a long time; quantum mechanics and math; wants to share projects

Discussion moved to talking about what noisebridge generally is (in case people do not know):
Riley mentions: hackerspace, teaching, tools, distribution of knowledge, for free, for those that desire
for anyone to build anything; do-ocracy, we try to make the future that we want to see, rather than waiting for others to do it for us

Rule #1: Be excellent to each other

Different types of participation:
Philanthropist - you've made a commitment to come here regularly and take care of the space - this comes with responsibility, as well as 24/7 access - checking lights, setting things up, making a general monthly contribution to noisebridge (depending on what you can afford)

Membership - big "M" membership is for the most part not something to strive towards; but rather something you become if it benefits noisebridge for the most part - you become part of the immune system and gain responsibility for keeping communication channels open, ensuring we don't burn everything in a mad fit of rage etc - its a hard process because you need to apply for it - after people know you really well and after 4 weeks its brought up at Tuesday night general meetings - (on the 4th) if there is quorum - the person will leave and the members can decide if giving that individual membership makes sense. Consensu based (if no one blocks) - but bave 2 weeks "grace period" where they can be blocked again and go back from being a member to being a philantropist.
** Caveat: we're all members (little "m") membership - so lets all encourage each other to be involved

Consider talking/thinking about how to get more people involved in the future

Anyone can ask for the memberlist - but, there isn't an official count on the number of members, but it is small.
Don't feel like you need to be limited though - be yourself and do whatever you want (anarchy ftw)

"Membership is like having kids"

Philantropists and Members can give out RFID tokens that give you access to the space
* Sometime around 10 or 11 in the morning to sometime in the evening like 10 or something?

Doners, and "Super Philantropists++" exist.
There is a form; althought it also matters to become well known by the other people in the space.

=== Philantropy Applications ===

* Cass Grant - are you here?
* Sponsored by Lady Red

* Ken Adler - are you here?
* Currently sponsorless
* They is a farmer; and is a maybe a member already? Maybe wants to restart donations?

If you are going to apply - try to come to the meetings *or* have someone represent you.

Aside: sometimes meetings can take a long time - but sometimes questions are good too
* "unmeetings" can take longer because we don't got none of those scheduled topics

Ryan is mentioning that everyone is focused on the new space, so because of that, some of the normal functions in the meeting might not be happening.
Sometimes its hard to get things officiated when there are not a ton of members present.

Freddy asked about the binder and applications:
Matt mentioned - There is a binder; usually by the front door (there are applications also on the wiki) - so if you want to become a philantropist - you need to have a member sign off on you and bring it to a meeting.
There are more details on the wiki if you want to read more about it.

=== Announcements ===
* Freddy wants to start a SQL class for anyone interested - lots of people are interested in data and wants to share his knowledge
* Charlie - the camera was not working in the front. They helped set it up - if the camera stops, try jiggling the cable (or re-connecting it) - it can get loose.
* Matt - Its not noise bridge releated - but afterhours at the exploriorium this week (Thursday) has a bike related thing going on and has FREE bike valet parking (but is $20, or 45$ for a year of After Dark)
* Ben is helping others learn about Wikipedia and Wikimedia; its at the Wikimedia Foundation ( Look up "bay area wiki salon") - its at 6:00 PM - RSVP if possible (on the wikipedia event page)
* Pinard(sp?) teaches blockchain things and has an event coming up tomorrow (Wednesday) - come to learn about smart contracts and deploying them on blockchain - what about creating a noisebridge coin? There is one, but we could always have another! There is a lot of potential for fundraising.
* Izzy - participates in C / C++ communities - there is a deadline in Colonge for features in C++20-something - She has written 17 papers in very few hours!! Maybe there is a small function that should be part of the standard library - C++ is easier than C but reach out to Izzy if you're interested in doing that / learning.
* Michael - (who did the visuals at the gala) - has a bunch of videos on the poliwat youtube channel - he is organizing a show - if you're interested in doing a show/music - in the near future (this month)

Discussion topics:
- gala update (riley) - we net $3000 after expenses - there are details on discuss
ryan menttions a probelem:
a lot of people were distracted during the auction
e.g. VR is pretty distracting and didn't help the auction per se
Next time - lets try to keep people more focused somehow?
We didn't have high level unique investors - we're hoping to find people who can really help noisebridge out financially
A lot of the bids were from other people at noisebridge; where our rich snobs/VC/philanthropic people at !? We need you!
Freddy asks about donatation box by the VR station (just a thought)
That can be problematic because people thing they're dontating to a VR thing but it might be more needed for the space in general
Charlie: the gala vibe was a party-esque thing but maybe we can ask for more general donations
It wasn't incredibly focused on fundrasing - but maybe that is ok that isn't sterotypical?
Overall, Ryan mentions it didn't feel all the way right

Ben was asking about what has been done in the past.
Matt mentions a group that does some of the fundraising together (which includes Ryan)

3D Printing

2019-04-03T00:00:49Z

Mpmckenna8: adding a picture of the Noisebridge 3d printing area with most of the current printers in it.

<div style="font-size:24px;">Noisebridge's 3D printing station is one of our Fabrication [[Resources]].</div>

[[File:3DPrinters100dpi.fw.png|300px|right]]

= PRINTERS WE HAVE =

[[File:Threedprinter_area.JPG|500px]]
== Monoprice Ultimate ==

This is presently running a custom flash of Marlin 2.0 - so it's unlikely that UltiGcode will work.

There is not any part cooling fan installed. The wire loom drapes dangerously inside the gantry. Put your model towards the front until this is resolved.

The heating block was loose last I checked it.

Do not attempt to use the SD Card extension cable, it causes read errors.

Use start/end gcode such as: https://www.thingiverse.com/groups/wanhao-duplicator-6/forums/general/topic:17580

Configure your slicer for a 200x200x175 build area.

Blue tape is not needed in addition to the buildtak surface, but it doesn't hurt.

TODO:

* Install the part cooling shroud and 24v fan - done!

* Tighten heat block (mysteriously it's working fine as is)

* Install a Bowden cable and attach the wire to it to prevent it from interfering/getting crushed by the gantry.

* Install cotton insulator for heat block (upgraded cooler sometimes cools this area too much. Until then, do not run the fan at 100% out it will give you a heater error.

== Monoprice Miniprinters ==

[[File:Unnamed.jpg|400px]]

We have a number of Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printers. Information on their specifications is found here: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=15365. They key thing to note is they have a 12cm cube of buildable area. [http://mpselectmini.com/](MPSelectMini.com) has a wealth of information about them.

To print your file on the Monoprice Miniprinters, you can do it one of two ways. [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf Full instruction manual is available].

# Use the THREED 3D Printer Terminal.
# Install the Slic3r software on your own computer.

If you are new to 3D printing, you can start by printing our Noisebridge symbol fridge magnet which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse].

[[File:Noisebridge_logo.jpg]]

=== Printing on your own computer ===
* Install [http://slic3r.org/ Slicer].
* Download the [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByPjSf143rlyNXRLeTFMbWR2NHM/view Monoprice printer configuration file].
* Open Slic3r and click File Menu --> Load Config Bundle..
* Select the previously downloaded config file.
* Verify important settings like (see [http://downloads.monoprice.com/files/manuals/15365_Manual_160415.pdf] of manual for more recommendation):
* Printer Settings tab > bed size: 120mm x 120mm
* Printer Settings tab > print size: 60mm x 60mm
* Turn your STL file into a GCODE file with the MONOPRICE settings before putting the GCODE onto an SD card and putting it into the monoprice printer.

=== Printing on the Threed ===

1. Open the Slic3r app

[[File:00_slicer.PNG]]

2. In the Slic3r window, click Add...

[[File:01_slicer_window.PNG]]

3. Choose the file you want to print (there is a test file in /Documents/Slic3r/noisebridgelogo2.stl which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse])

[[File:03_slicer_add_documents_slicer.PNG]]

4. Select the Noisebridge logo file or your own.

[[File:04_noisebridge_logo_file.PNG]]

5. The file shows up in the preview window. Most of the correct settings are pre-loaded with the configuration file, but if you are using a filament other than PLA, you must change the temperature settings under the "Filament Settings" tab. Check the side of the filament spool for the recommended temperature settings and stick to the low end of the range.

[[File:04_slicer_imported.PNG]]

6. Click "Export G-code" to export the g-code file to the SD card (inserted in the computer).

Note: Don't use the path as shown on screen, pick the "F:" drive. Sometimes, the SD-card isn't recognized unless you take out the adapter, insert the SD-card into that and put the whole module in!

[[File:05_export_gcode.PNG]]

7. Remove the SD card from the micro SD card adapter in the Threed computer.

8. Insert SD card gently into a slot on the right side of the 3D printer. You may have to turn the machine off and on again if the SD card is not recognized.

9. Move the knob till it points at "Print" and push it like a button.

9. Turn the knob to choose the file you want to print and push it like a button.

10. If the temperature screen does not say "Preheating" under the extruder side, manually set the preheat temperature by selecting the extruder temp and twisting the knob until the correct temperature is displayed, then push the knob like a button.

11. Watch the progress screen till the temperatures heat up the extruder and platform to the target temperatures (this will take a while so be patient).

12. The printer will start printing.

13. Wait for it to finish and enjoy your finished item by scraping it off the build platform with a thin piece of metal.

14. If the blue masking tape is damaged in the process, remove it and apply some fresh masking tape to the printer surface. Please remember to turn off the printer when you are done printing.

=== Troubleshooting Monoprice Mini Prints ===

# My print isn't sticking to the bed
* Start by replacing the blue painters tape on the print bed. Please don't use Kapton tape for the Monoprice Minis. Kapton tape is expensive and best suited for ABS filaments, which don't print well on the minis.
* Next level the bed. If the extruder nozzle is not extruding or tearing up the tape, it is probably too close. If the filament isn't sticking to the bed, it is probably too far. You can use the four screws on the surface of the bed to raise or lower each corner. The bed is level when a sheet of paper can pass between the nozzle and bed at each corner with only slight resistance. You can find the hex keys for leveling the bed in the 3D printing supplies box (a black plastic bin in the fabrication area).
* Check your temperatures against the manufacturer's recommendations or the 3D printing lab notebook(a composition notebook with helpful printing hints).
* Apply a thin (very light) layer of hairspray to an unheated print bed with a fresh layer of blue painters tape

## Plastic isn't coming out of the extruder
* If the extruder is blocked you can use the "atomic method" to unblock it, detailed here: [http://support.3dverkstan.se/article/10-the]
* If that doesn't work, please tell other people in the space so they can get someone to work on it.

== FLASHFORGE CREATOR DUAL EXTRUDER PRINTER ==

[[File:FlashForgeCreatorr.jpg|300px]]

bool '''currentlyOperational''' = true;

string '''cloneOf''' = "a MakerBot Replicator Dual Extruder";

==== Flashforge Docs ====
* this is the wood frame product, similar to the Creator Pro model made of plastic.

* [http://goo.gl/3mwCkk Getting the Flashforge Creator printing]

=== Printing from your own laptop ===
# Software Installation
## Download and install [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm FTDI Drivers].
## Download and install [http://replicat.org/download ReplicatorG].
# Software Configuration
## Open ReplicatorG.
## Choose the menu '''File > Open...''' and select the STL file you want to print (It will probably be in your downloads folder if you got it from a web site like Thingiverse.).
## Choose the menu '''Machine > Machine Type > The Replicator Dual'''.
## Choose the menu '''Machine > Connection (Serial port) > /dev/tty.usbmodem1411'''.
##
# Generate GCode from your STL file.
# Click Connect to device. (If you have trouble, see Connection Troubleshooting below.)

* Connection Troubleshooting
** Connection error: The serial port named '/dev/tty.usbmodem1411' could not be found.
*** It may not be turned on and plugged in.
* Printing Troubleshooting
** It stops printing midway through.
*** Are you browsing the Internet memes with Replicator in the background? It can't print very far in the background. Alt-tab/command-tab to bring ReplicatorG to foreground every time it stops and it will resume. This is one of the main reasons to start using the SD card to print: You can use your computer for other things without slowing down or stopping prints.

=== Printing from an SD card ===
# Put files ending in .gcode on an SD card
# Insert SD card into the side-facing slot on the front right side of the case.
# Press DOWN ARROW till you reach Print from SD card
# Press CENTER SELECT

=== Printing from the [[Threed]] printstation PC ===
A [[Threed]] printer computer station is connected to the printer.

== PRUSA i3 MK2s PRINTER ==
[[File:Original_prusai3mk2_0.png]]
See: http://manual.prusa3d.com/c/English_manuals

= Filaments =
There are many colors of filament spools to use for printing projects. Take note of which plastic type your filament is and choose settings appropriately. The wrong plastic can damage the printer and make your prints look look like drek.

* Note: Replicator defaults are feedrate 40 and 220 degrees C. Setting them to feedrate 80 brings up an accelerated settings warning. The printer is ready to handle 80.

== ABS Plastic ==
* Feedrate: 80
* Travel feedrate: 80
* Temperature: 230 degrees C
* Buildplate 110 degrees C
* Print on yellow kapton tape
* Smells like cancer

== PLA Plastic ==
* Feedrate: 80
* Travel feedrate: 100
* Temperature: 180-230 degrees C (depends on brand, check spool, cross fingers)
* Print on blue painter's tape
* Smells like Canadian maple syrup

= PRINTING GUIDELINES =

* Do not leave 3D printer jobs unattended. Leaving print job will result in project being tossed.

= 3D PRINTING HACKSTATION DESIGN =
The 3D printing printing hackstation is a kiosk with the following items necessary for 3D printing:
* 3D printer
* Pegboard
** Blue masking tape to coat the build platform.
** Wedge to scrape builds off of the tape.
*** Autobody chisel works best.
** Ruler
** Duster spray can to clean out parts
** Files to file down parts
** Scraps box for recycling of wasted parts.
** Showcase box for showing cool things to inspire people with.
** Cleaning Reminder Sign: (Please help keep NOISEBRIDGE tidy by keeping this area clean.)
* Overhead Shelf
** Filament spools rack

= PROJECT IDEAS =

* Design a 3D printing merit badge (3D printed in a merit badge shape with velcro attached to the back).

= Would you like to help organize a new weekly 3D printing workshop? =
If you are interested in organizing a new regular 3D printing meetup or reviving Replicator Wednesdays, do it!
* Let [[User:Lxpk]] know and he will assist with updating the wiki and organizing your event or project.

= Past 3D Printing Things =

*We used to have [[Makerbot]] printers.
*We used to have [[Replicator Wednesdays]]. Want to restart it?
* There is an outdated [[3DPrintBeginners]] guide page that could be a source of good material for this updated new page.

[[Image:Noisebridge_at_night.jpg|thumb|right|180px|Interact with interesting people!]]
Noisebridge is a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Noisebridge is also more than a physical space; it's a community with roots extending around the world.

<blockquote>
For we're excellent to each other here<br />

''We make stuff. So can you.''

== The Idea ==

Noisebridge is an educational non-profit corporation, 501(c)3 public charity status.

We provide infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for people interested in programming, hardware hacking, physics, chemistry, mathematics, security, robotics, all kinds of art, and, of course, technology. Through talks, workshops, and [[projects]] we encourage knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring.

As a space for artistic collaboration and experimentation, we are open to most types of art - with a special emphasis on the crossover of art and technology. From hardware labs to electronics and sound labs, most things that're creative are most definitely welcome.

Many interesting things happen in the space. We've found that sharing is essential to making this work. We strive to begin from a point of respect and trust. We believe it builds a safe community and that this best fosters innovation and creation.
Our motto is "Be excellent to each other." We also have writings on [[community standards]] and an [[anti-harassment policy]] which covers all conduct in the physical space and in our online spaces.

Leadership is taken by individual members for specific projects. We call this "sudo leadership" after the *nix command ''sudo'' which allows a regular user to do one root-level, or superuser, task. In other words, if you want Noisebridge to do something, start doing it.

Here's some paraphrasing from our bylaws:
Through talks, classes, workshops, collaborative projects, and other activities, we want to encourage research, knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring in a safe, clean space. We provide educational spaces for teaching practical skills and theory of technology, science, and art. We provide work space, storage, and other resources for projects related to art, science, and technology that will benefit the individual members' personal growth in their fields of interest, encouraging the individual members to share their projects and knowledge for the betterment of society through art, science and technology. We create, learn, and teach, individually and as a group, inviting members of the community in the San Francisco Bay area and the world. We develop, support the development of, and provide resources for the development of free and open source software and hardware for the benefit of society. We promote collaboration across disciplines for the benefit of cultural, charitable, and scientific causes.

== Tripartite Pillars ==

===Excellence===
'''Be excellent to each other''' is the guiding principle of Noisebridge. Wikipedia uses [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_a_dick a somewhat similar rule], which they call "''the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it.''" Unlike Wikipedia, Noisebridge takes a positive approach, and avoids the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; ''' "be excellent" ''' is enough.

===Consensus===
We make official Noisebridge decisions by consensus, which means the willing consent of all of our members. Decisions are typically made at our [[:Category:Meeting_Notes|weekly meetings]] or via our online management venues, and items proposed for consensus are announced at least a week in advance to give everyone time to hear about them. Conceivably, members could block by proxy if they are unable to attend or if they wish to block anonymously.

More information on the [[Consensus Process]].

===Do-ocracy===
Doing excellent stuff at Noisebridge does not require permission or an official consensus decision. If you're uncertain about the excellence of something you want to do, you should ask someone else what they think.

== Testimonials ==

[[Testimonials | Why people love Noisebridge]]

* Smart creative people, welcoming community, friendly to newbies
* Equipment, tools, books, materials, and the space itself
* Its culture of free, open, accessible, DIY awesomeness

== Financing it ==

We self-finance through membership fees ($80 per member/month with $40 "starving hacker" rate), beverage sales, and parties, the way European hacker spaces do it. We also welcome one-time or recurring [[Donate_or_Pay_Dues|donations]] from members and non-members alike. Donations and sponsorships will accompany renovation and equipment purchase. Within the first 24 hours of renting a space, we raised over $10,000 for a cool location and meaningful projects. Within our first month, we've nearly become cash flow positive from membership dues alone. Further discussion is happening on the [[Finances]] wiki page.

== Inspiration ==
Noisebridge is inspired by similar European clubs like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalab Metalab] of Vienna, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base CBase] of Berlin, [http://www.mi2.hr/ MAMA] of Zagreb, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_%28squat%29 ASCII] of Amsterdam. Many other clubs of a similar stripe can be found at [http://hacklabs.org/index_en.php Hacklabs] and [http://hackerspaces.org/List_of_ALL_Hacker_Spaces Hackerspaces dot Org]. It would not be out of the question to consider Noisebridge a possible [http://events.ccc.de/2007/09/27/say-hello-to-bitkanonecccde/ San Francisco Chaostreff]. Noisebridge is a hacker space and community that shares a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorkbot Dorkbot]-like ethic, and indeed, many of the members of Noisebridge are long-time Dorkbotters.

== The Name ==
A "noise bridge" performs useful services by injecting noise into a system. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_analyzer Such a device] is often used in RF electronics.

== The Space ==
Read some [[oral histories]] from members, or add your own!

Our motto is "Be excellent to each other." We also have writings on [[community standards]] and an [[anti-harassment policy]] which covers all conduct in the physical space and in our online spaces.

Leadership is taken by individual members for specific projects. We call this "sudo leadership" after the *nix command ''sudo'' which allows a regular user to do one root-level, or superuser, task. In other words, if you want Noisebridge to do something, start doing it.

Here's some paraphrasing from our bylaws:
Through talks, classes, workshops, collaborative projects, and other activities, we want to encourage research, knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring in a safe, clean space. We provide educational spaces for teaching practical skills and theory of technology, science, and art. We provide work space, storage, and other resources for projects related to art, science, and technology that will benefit the individual members' personal growth in their fields of interest, encouraging the individual members to share their projects and knowledge for the betterment of society through art, science and technology. We create, learn, and teach, individually and as a group, inviting members of the community in the San Francisco Bay area and the world. We develop, support the development of, and provide resources for the development of free and open source software and hardware for the benefit of society. We promote collaboration across disciplines for the benefit of cultural, charitable, and scientific causes.

== Tripartite Pillars ==

===Excellence===
'''Be excellent to each other''' is the guiding principle of Noisebridge. Wikipedia uses [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don't_be_a_dick a somewhat similar rule], which they call "''the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it.''" Unlike Wikipedia, Noisebridge takes a positive approach, and avoids the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; ''' "be excellent" ''' is enough.

===Consensus===
We make official Noisebridge decisions by consensus, which means the willing consent of all of our members. Decisions are typically made at our [[:Category:Meeting_Notes|weekly meetings]] or via our online management venues, and items proposed for consensus are announced at least a week in advance to give everyone time to hear about them. Conceivably, members could block by proxy if they are unable to attend or if they wish to block anonymously.

More information on the [[Consensus Process]].

===Do-ocracy===
Doing excellent stuff at Noisebridge does not require permission or an official consensus decision. If you're uncertain about the excellence of something you want to do, you should ask someone else what they think.

== Testimonials ==

[[Testimonials | Why people love Noisebridge]]

* Smart creative people, welcoming community, friendly to newbies
* Equipment, tools, books, materials, and the space itself
* Its culture of free, open, accessible, DIY awesomeness

== Financing it ==

We self-finance through membership fees ($80 per member/month with $40 "starving hacker" rate), beverage sales, and parties, the way European hacker spaces do it. We also welcome one-time or recurring [[Donate_or_Pay_Dues|donations]] from members and non-members alike. Donations and sponsorships will accompany renovation and equipment purchase. Within the first 24 hours of renting a space, we raised over $10,000 for a cool location and meaningful projects. Within our first month, we've nearly become cash flow positive from membership dues alone. Further discussion is happening on the [[Finances]] wiki page.

== Inspiration ==
Noisebridge is inspired by similar European clubs like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalab Metalab] of Vienna, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base CBase] of Berlin, [http://www.mi2.hr/ MAMA] of Zagreb, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_%28squat%29 ASCII] of Amsterdam. Many other clubs of a similar stripe can be found at [http://hacklabs.org/index_en.php Hacklabs] and [http://hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces Hackerspaces dot Org]. It would not be out of the question to consider Noisebridge a possible [http://events.ccc.de/2007/09/27/say-hello-to-bitkanonecccde/ San Francisco Chaostreff]. Noisebridge is a hacker space and community that shares a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorkbot Dorkbot]-like ethic, and indeed, many of the members of Noisebridge are long-time Dorkbotters.

== The Name ==
A "noise bridge" performs useful services by injecting noise into a system. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna_analyzer Such a device] is often used in RF electronics.

== The Space ==

Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to explain what Noisebridge is about:
Noisebridge is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."

Steve - Noisebridge = community hacker space, can work on many things including hacking on the space. One rule: Be excellent to each other.

Short announcements and events

nthmost: Noisebridge domain names have been transferred to me personally. Big deal! Wants to transfer them to the Ghandi account. "I require a ritual of transference." Want to have an event with smoke and lasers and a ritual transfer of the domain names.
Ryan: 1. This weekend is the Stupid Shit No-one Needs and terriable ideas Hackathon. Sat and Sun. Come learn how to do stupid hackathon stuff, do a project there. I will not be able to make it. Giving my project to anyone who wants it. Pickaxe that mines bitcoin when you swing it. Miners could make an extra two hundreth of a cent per day. Will leave a pickaxe here, or just a pick. You need arduino, or raspberry pi. Less optimal than actually mining for real gold.
https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/258638768/
Ryan - 2. I signed us up for maker faire but haven't heard back about booth stuff. Some project ideas. We will be asking for a number of volunteers. I'm planning on bringing down pretty much every maker faire project we've made before so we need a lot of help.
Ryan - 3. March 17th, day before GDC starts in SF, will be hosting a talk at Noisebridge. 8 hours on VR AR immersive tech, 10am to , details on our meetup page. 17 attendees since event was posted earlier this morning.
https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/259110997/
Matt - Noisebridge is looking for spaces, our lease is probably up in August. We looked at 1049 market yesterday. It is a 10,000 sqft basement filled with stuff; 79 cents per sqft; $7,900 / month with 3-4 months free due to stuff in the basement. Currently a big empty room; pictures are on discuss (https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/1049-market/306/11). Elevator wasn't working, no double doors, bathrooms on first floor (not basement) but are ADA accessible. Tiny amount of natural light, good power. Near 6th and Market, on Market Street. Some view area as sketchy. Effectively no windows
Anthony: Feels like the neighborhood is really safe (unless you turn onto 6th street).
: Right next to - interesting temporary space.
Ryan: Our current space uses largely artifical light at night anyway.
Matt: 1077 Howard is another option. Currently Scoot uses it as its scooter repository. Downside is that we would need to rent out portions of the space in order to afford it, so Noisebridge would need to become a landlord. No pics are allowed to be taken in it.
Ryan: Big garage doors.
Matt: $20 grand per month, need to consider the financial aspects of it. We currently can't keep toilet paper in stock. Probably someone who feels positive about this option should speak on it. Preference is to focus on buying a space rather than becoming a landlord.

Zack: Over at Starfish Mission, working on a crowd funding application. You specify the amount you need to raise and the number of min pledgers, no one pays until enough people have donated enough, and the more people who donate the less everyone pays. Starfish has the blockchain developers working on it, but ---They need a front end developer for the UI---. How many hours will be needed to make it? They do not know, since it is new.

Safe Space
Note: This section is experimental. We discussed it at Meeting_Notes_2016_06_28. We're going to try it for the next meeting, and see how it goes, and then discuss in the discussion section how it went, and how we'd like to tweak it.
Noisebridge is a safe space. Invite a volunteer to describe what that means.
Some specific points you might prompt the group to touch on, if it doesn't happen naturally:
What to do if you feel uncomfortable.
Noisebridge strives to be radically inclusive. What does that mean?
Noisebridge has an antiharassment policy. What does that mean?

Ryan: Noisebridge cares about the comfort and safety of the people in the space. Being Excellent To Each Other is a necessity in the space. Harassment of any kind is not tolerated. If you are not going to say something nice to someone, don't say it. Please read the signs posted around the space if you want a better understanding. Understand that people here identify as theirselves and they have the right to do that, do not be mean or you will be asked to leave, perhaps perminantly.

r: Sometimes it is necessary to say things that aren't nice. There is a difference between saying things that aren't nice, vs harassment.
Anthony: But try to say things as nice as possible
r: yes

Participation[edit]
Invite a knowledgable volunteer to describe who can participate at Noisebridge, including:
Describe how to get an rfid key for the door system
Describe how to get access to slack

Ryan: When you walk in the door -you are a member of the NB community-. Uphold the rules here, and you can participate here. We do not limit people, we seek to ensure that people can use the tools and facilities. If you need help, ASK FOR HELP, asking for help is being AWESOME. To get inside, you press the button downstairs (and wait to be buzzed in). And once you get to know people you can get a 30 day access token, so you can get in without needing to press the button. You can ask for Slack access after youve been here a couple of times, but we are trying to move over to Discuss.

Philanthropists[edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe Philantropy, and the application process.
Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Any applicants must have their sponsor present to vouch for them.
If there are no objections, they're a philanthropist! Their pledge should be handed over to the Secretary posthaste, after which their token will be updated to give them the 24/7 access they've earned(?)

- 3 tiers of membership 1. Just coming around 2. Philanthopist. 3 Member.
Philanthropist = you want to partake in 24hr potential of NB. Need to be able to let people in, shut down the space at night, have been coming around for a few months, people should kinda know you. You need a Member to sponsor you, and you get proposed as a Philanthropist at a meeting. Std amount $80/month, $40 starving hacker rate, but price is negotiable. Philanthropist is pretty much like being a Member.

No one is up for Philanthropy this week.

Membership Binder [edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe membership, and the application process.
Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community and space better than it is today.
Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Mark down a check or other indicator on every open application to keep track of how many weeks they've been read out.
Anyone eligible to join this week should
introduce themselves,
answer any questions members may have for them, then
leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join.
Remember to applaud new members when they return.

Ryan: Membership is our Oversight Group. People who consistently try to improve NB, generally are available to take care of NB. You are the Immune System that keeps NB running. This is a Responsibility, you get no perks. Do not strive for this. People who NB thinks would benefit the space in a role overseeing complexity. Members generally do not do much in the space in terms of Member items. Member items = Consensus proposals. Otherwise you are just like a Philanthropist, or a regular person.

r: Usually, another Member or Members will approch someone who they think would be a good future Member. Although wiki says you can start app with no sponsers, usually you start with sponsors. You need 2 Member sponsors, app in binder, name read out for 4 weeks at meetings, membership can be revoked in the 2 weeks afterwards. Members are the only ones who can Block Consensus items. [Big M] Members are harder to get rid of than Philanthropists or regular members of the community.

No Membership applications this week.

Financial Report[edit]
Funds in bank:
Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):
Any other details by those participating in handling our financials
The latest financial reports from the treasurer are available at https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Finances

Do we have someone here with our current financial report?

(Seems like no.)

ryan - Fundraising Group is working hard to syncronise fundraising system. Things may be going on with our NoiseTor servers. (All but one have been shut down. The one that is not shut down is serving traffic, but website is down.)

ryan - We have enough money to survive here for a while, but our lease is ending in August. We need to raise a LOT of money for fundraising.

Question is raised about how Philanthropy differs from Membership in terms of fundraising. Generally they pay same amount. BUT anyone even non official philanthropists can donate online. Also there are donation boxes around the space.

Consensus[edit]
Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give a brief primer on consensus process
It is important that everyone in attendance understands at least:
blocking with verbalized principled objections.
why we use consensus over other approaches to decision making.
how consensus isn't a legislative process
why consensus isn't applicable to some things like conflict resolution, resolution of time sinks, and the like.

ryan - Consensus is how we decide things that will fundamentally change what it means to be NB. Slow process typically. Anyone can give input into it. Needs a lot of research and discussion -prior- to the proposal being brought up at a meeting. Depending on feedback, might be denied at first meeting, but usually it is moved forward to week 2, at which point it can go up for actual Consensus, where so long as a quorem of Members participate, they can Consense the item unless a Member chooses to Block the item. Consensus is the opposite of voting. Everyone agrees. A block means that the blocker effectively thinks that if it passes they would leave NB and never come back. This is for things like spending $30k, or buying a new building. Does not happen very often. Anyone can bring up a Consensus Proposal. Non Members can ask Members to Block though.

r: Anyone can make Consensus Item, and you can withdraw it if you made it, even if you are not a Member.

there are no Consensus Items for this week.

Discussion Items[edit]
If any important discussion happens, it should be happening after forward progress is made during consensus.
End of Meeting[edit]

Ryan: 1 short one.

ryan: Making sure people are following -small c- consensus, and taking care of the space. People have not been cleaning up as much as they should. Some people keep doing things with VR setup without asking enough people whether their change would be Excellent.

r: Similarly, equipment that it easy to turn on should be unplugged when you are done with it. For example the saw, which has just two switches to turn on. Unplug when not in use.

Ryan: Similarly, people who use the saw have not been cleaning it out. It is a belt drive saw that needs delicate calibration. It should never get filled up with dust. The chamber should never fill up with more than an inch of sawdust. It has been filled up a lot recently. That is not excellent. RE the VR, people have not been putting the cord back up when done with it. It doesn't have enough tension to be used as a tether, but still needs to be put back up when done so it does not get broken. It is a $50 cord, not a regular power cord. Also noticed (in the Hackatorium) a lot of gunk on the table, and lot of debris on LED table. Donations in a pile without being sorted. If you take out stuff for a project, put it away when done.

Ryan: If the Mate is running low in the fridge, please refill it. Ryan has refilled it at least 10 times in the past two weeks.

Ryan: The guy who swept the floor a couple of days ago (Johnny the drummer?) that was Awesome! (Applause for the sweeper.)

Take care of the space so it runs better for everyone including yourself. (IE so you do not have to spend an hour fixing a tool before using it.)

? : When is the NOISEBRIDGE GALA -- Music? Band? https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/259286951/

?: It will be 27th of April. JP Krause (dude with the cool feather earings, plays base) is handling it. It has info at Discuss.noisebridge.info

The Gala is a big party, people showing up, showing their projects, perfoming music including DJ sets, art auction. (Please come, and donate to Noisebridge!) Still looking for performers. Want to fill three hours with music. Timeslots are available.

Meeting ends.

Return the membership binder to its rightful location.
Discuss any items for which there was not time during the meeting.
Enjoy the company of your fellow hacker, robot, or robothacker.
Note taker posts the notes[edit]
Clean and tidy the meeting notes including removing all these really verbose instructions.
Fill out the short summary at the top listing just announcements, consensus items, discussion topics, and names of new members and philanthropists.
Copy paste the notes to the next meeting page. (They will become Last meeting at midnight.)
Email the meeting summary to Noisebridge Discuss and Noisebridge Announce lists.
CC on the email treasurer@noisebridge.net and secretary@noisebridge.net if there are new members and philanthropists.
Edit the Current Consensus Items if anything is proposed for consensus next week.
Edit the Consensus Items History if anything was reached consensus or failed to reach consensus this week.
Fun things to do after[edit]
Reprise of the Hackernationale. [This is anarchy - we do what the wiki says!]
PGP Key Signing could happen now (if it doesn't happen before any given Meeting). Ask others around the space or check the list to see who wants in on the action.

Gabriel :

WTF is Noisebridge?

Victoria: Noisebridge is whatever you imagine it to be

Ryan (he/him): I take care of the VR area in the back of the space, currently helping w/ Aaron Swartz Day

= [[Announcements|Announcements and events]] =

Katherine: Noisebridge Gala! Dec 15, here at Noisebridge

Frank: Aaron Swartz Day, 9pm, Nov 9, at DNA Lounge!

Katherine: We now have a functional Buffer, so if you need to do media campaigns, hmu!

Suyash: Stanford's Computational Music dept's Laptop Orchestra will be doing a performance, w/ Prof Gewang keynoting. Nov 12 in Stanford. meetup.com/sfcreative

We will soon have a Woodshop Safety Training Class at Noisebridge.

Oakland is getting a new soccer team!

= [[Safespace|Safespace]] =

Henner: Safespace means you should feel safe going to Noisebridge; safe to not be harassed, safe to ask questions without being judged, safe to be yourself, and we need to make sure everyone is welcome. It's kind of an extension of Be Excellent to Each Other but w/ a bit more specificity.

Frank: During tours I tell people about the flyers posted on the walls, fridge, etc. which has the anti-harassment policy, and other related things.

Henner: It's not just about not being an asshole yourself, but about actively trying to address this when you see it happen, and try to facilitate other people's safety as well. Be active in making sure that we actually do have a safespace.

Beka: we have posters/signs that mention the safe space help page so if you need assistance w anything, you can request assistance via the space guardians channel and hopefully someone will magically show up and help you!

Steve: Safespace means we're supposed to be free from harassment. You should do your best to be aware about triggers, etc. so be conscious of what you're saying. But that doesn't mean this means we're free of conflict, argumentation, etc. being an asshole isn’t against the safe space policy, but hate speech is. Conflict is how we grow, but on the other hand try to be cool.

= Participation =

Steve: Anyone can participate! If you've been coming around a bit, one of the first things you can do is get a 30-day access token for the RFID system that gets you in 10am to 11pm. You can also get on the slack channel. Beyond that, there's Philanthropist (see later) and Member (see later). But we have locks on the door, so how do other people get into NB? We let them in! Who? We all do! You too! But if you let someone in, you have to take responsibility for them. You're not obligated too but its cool to.

Henner: When you let someone in and they havent been to NB before, make sure they get a tour. Lots of people don't really understand what hackerspaces are and might have all sorts of misconceptions, so it's important to show them what we are and *arent* about. You can also use that time to gauge if you want to let them stay or show them the exit. Make sure to help people feel welcome, if you let them in!

Matt: Please read the 86 list and be aware, if You accidentally let someone in who is on the 86 list you probably won’t get kicked out for that but just don’t do it.

Beka: if you don’t want your 30 day token to expire, you can add your details to earl and it will fix your 30 day token.

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropist]]=

Matt: philanthropy is a person who has been involved for a while, it is not dependent on giving Noisebridge money. You may fill out an application in the membership binder and ask one member to sponsor you. If you’d like more information check out the wiki or we can talk further.

Gabriel : He wants to become a philantrophist, we have to census. He is excited to be involved with Noisebridge and wants to get token. He also wants to financially contribute more regularly. He was really impressed with the welcome tour that Rebecca gave him and tried to model that now. That was one of his example of Excellence at Noisebridge. He likes to build physical things at Noisebridge and learn about new things such as Woodshop projects etc. No one objected, so Gabriel became a Philanthropist today!

= [[ Membership Binder ]] =

Matt: we have a person who has applied for membership! This is Katherine! Congratulations Katherine! I have to ask if everyone is cool with it.

Steve: I’m cool w it if Victoria forced you to do it.

Matt: katherine would you introduce yourself and answer questions?

katherine: hi, I am here to answer questions.

Victoria: would you like to answer questions?

Katherine: I’m good thanks!

= [[ Financial Report ]] =

Nicole: $180,000 but some of that is noisetor....

matt: where can we audit this?

nicole: I’ll get back to you!

= Consensus =

Put consensus in Slack and on the Wiki

== [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] ==

== [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]]

=== James - Noisebridge.info Email Addresses for NBers ===

Text: "Have disroot.org run the mail server and so forth, and administer it, so that NBers can have email addresses at noisebridge.info"

Matt: How much?
James: Potential minimum, nothing. Don't know the actual cost tho. they're a non-profit, so it'd be nice to benefit them somehow?

Victoria: Why consensus instead of do-ocracy?
James: I don't want to be The Owner, I'd rather NB be The Owner.
Beka: Who at NB proper will manage this??
James: The.. org?
Victoria: Probably once it becomes Critical, it really matters to have org-level stuff.

= Discussion =

Suyash: Regarding 'being excellent to each other', if we can all take more initiative about opening the door when bell rings, that would be very nice.

== Suyash: Gala ==

Suyash: I just wanted to propose that I would be happy to do a 30min magic show for the gala to help raise funds. It'd involve technology, iPads, Alexa. Is there an agenda or main organizers?

Victoria: Me! Yeah so we're looking for performers for the daylong event, rampingup in energy later on. We'll be silently and non-silently auctioning art and other things! hmu on Slack (@tdfischer or in #gala-wg) if you want to get involved in one or more of these ways. I especially need an artwork wrangler who can find the artists who made it, and make sure they're ok w/ it being auctioned. There's also this dude who wants to bring a piano in, and other artists might also need to bring in big things, so we need help there. Also we need people to help w/ social media promotion etc.

Suyash: How do we invite celebrities/etc.???

Steve: We generally think it's fine and whatever but there's also noisebridge principles to be considered?

Matt: Esp. that the donators can't put conditions on its use. It's a donation, not a loan or whatever.

James: It can often matter who it comes from for the integrity and reputation of noisebridge

Victoria: We should talk more tomorrow; definitely not a SCRUM tomorrow!

Ryan: I have some business card designs along w/ relevant info that will go on there, so NBers can give out cards w/ contact into etc. Also makes it easier to make requests from companies, etc. for food donations who happily donate but need people asking to look like they're Official (ie business cards). If you'd like to reach out to brewers, distillers, caterers, etc. please do, hmu for business cards.

== Ryan: QR Codes ==

Ryan: I'm planning on getting a $5 a month accout for making dynamic QR codes so that we can reuse the codes, etc. hopefully eventually a $20 a month account that gives us more features.

Beka: Can we just use NBurl.net?

Ryan: If we can do it without a paid subscript, that'd be awesome!

Suyash: We could also maybe use NFC tags?

Ryan: Yeah, we could indeed. Tho QR codes have a lot of data storage capacity that can be really useful.

Gabriel: Why not just use URLs? QR codes wear out and become unreadable, and lots of people dont know what to do w/ them anyway.

Victoria: You've touched on something completely true. QR codes do kinda suck. It's a fun thing to do but often not useful. We used to use nburl.net a bunch, but you can just do noisebridge.net/ now.

Beka: We could just use wiki redirects to fake dynamic QR codes

Ryan: We get a lot of people from Asia tho and QR codes are VERY common there and no one uses URLs.

== Ryan: Aaron Swartz Day ==

Lisa: The hackathon is 9-11th Nov at the Internet Archive. Speakers all day long the first 2 days.
Party Friday night: Music and visuals. You can go free!!!!

NB table -- with lots of our stuff and Volunteers.

To volunteer, show up at the archive lunch this or next friday for some minimal training, etc!

== Matt: How was the halloween party? how'd the permit go?

== Matt: When is the fundraising-wg meetings. There's a slack channel if you want to get involved there.

We have fund raising working group at Noisebridge. If you want to get involved, check Slack.

We are working with a group to fund raise for us. Right now the thing we need most assistance with is Gala.

== Steve

== Matt: Wiki editablity. Can anyone add a page? edit a page? I gave up because of bad experiences.

= End of Meeting =

YAY!

Mpmckenna8: Adding a page for the monoprice printers

We have 4 Monoprice Select Mini Printers currently at Noisebridge.

It would be excellent if you have documentation to add about the printers generally you could append it to http://mpselectmini.com/

Each of them have names printed on labels so you can refer to them on the wiki and people will know which one you are talking about.

*[[mono-1]]
*[[mono-2]]
*[[mono-3]]
*[[mono-4]]

If you are not comfortable editing the wiki to document problems/successes feel free to write down a note and leave it in the area or even better fill out a page in the 3d printer notebook.

Mpmckenna8: /* Hardware / 3D Printers at Noisebridge */

[[Category:Projects]]

=Noisebridge 3D Printing for Beginners=

The focus of this page is on understanding the layout of Noisebridge, getting beginners up to speed.
If you are interested in adding to this group you can contact [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]]

=Rough Draft=

==Noisebridge 3D Printing workspace==
[[File:3dprintingspace.jpg|thumb|3D printing space]]

The Noisebridge 3D printing workspace is in the "front" next to the HackerStackers. I was just informed by a friendly Noisebridge member that they are shifting the space around and expanding it.

* YouTube Video - please add annotations if you want - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjIYDlMzBk

===Hardware/3D Printing Workstation PC===

There is a Windows PC inbetween the laser cutter and the Makerbot 3D printers.
It is used for game development, 3D Printing and using the laser cutter. Since it has so many uses it is probably wise to be polite and ask anyone if they are waiting on you to print or cut something.

* Magnavox Monitor - sometimes the monitor is blank. This might be a little obvious and i bet a lot of people are too scared to ask why it isn't working (i sort of was), but you just have to tap the channel buttons on the top + and - until you reach the PC. I think the monitor even serves as a television set so don't be surprised if you pop onto the news.
* Login as guest is sufficient
** There is a lasercutter login, so I'm guessing you don't have to be in the lasercutter login. I am guessing that this is for awesome lasercutting projects.
* Saving Time - you can save a lot of time by doing a lot of stuff on your own computer. Some processes which are detailed later on in this wiki like "slicing" can sometimes take up to an hour or more to complete.

====Hardware/Hooking your own Laptop to 3D Printers====

''This section will have material about how to set up your computer and hook it up to one of the existing 3D Printers. I'm mostly going case by case with each 3D Printer.''

==Hardware / 3D Printers at Noisebridge ==

_I'm going to start out with a rough draft, linking existing highly excellent existing Noisebridge wiki pages that already exist. I was actually pretty surprised at how extensive and friendly some of the 3D printing pages were--the only thing is they just aren't all consolidated in one place -- [[User:Romyilano|Romyilano]]

=== [[RepRap]] Wiki Page ===
[[File:Rep_Rap_3D_printers_at_Noisebridge.jpeg|thumb|right|RepRap Machines]]

RepRap is the open-source 3D printer and should always get first priority. Many of the great 3D printing private companies springing up now that the 3D systems patents are expiring have lifted their designs directly off the open source RepRap community.

''This page is out of date. I will do my best to update it''

* I see remnants of a RepRap party at Noisebridge
* RepRap might be a challenge for beginners - the community does have a right to feel a little under siege and exploited, and these are intense hobbyists who might be like the comic book guy in the Simpsons. However, I have had mostly good experiences with RepRap people when I hung out at the TS in San Jose.
* Like all open source projects, the emphasis might be not so much on easy usable great products that are simple. That is one of the disadvantages of open source, so it tends to scare away beginners. If we can do anything to mitigate that then that is cool

=== [[Makerbot]] Wiki Page ===

The makerbot wiki page is great - you should read over it too. The part about the Makerbots not working is confusing--I think they are mostly referring to the outdated Makerbot Cupcakes.

'''Disclosures:''' The MakerBot was recently purchased by StrataSys and got backing and tons of beneficial marketing from Make Magazine. The documentation is fairly well done, and this company also runs the Thingiverse website.

What does that mean for the beginner?
* People will walk up to the MakerBot and say that it is not the best 3D Printer out there. that is partially true, especially since our newest 3D printer is from 2010.
* Because this printer has lots of marketing and financial backing it is probably nice that they have support staff and documentation.
* People who are advanced will make nerd out on points that are not really that important in the long term for a beginner and are a needless distraction from you reaching your goals. I cannot tell you how many times people have distracted me by interrupting my conversations with talk of people 3D printing food in space or how they have this amazing patent, or how they have an EEG brainwave machine that hooks up to 3D printers and 3D prints your thoughts. Don't be a jerk, but recognize that these people like to talk a lot about technology and that is really different from people who actually do stuff. They will be great tech writers and cheerleaders but they are not doing kinds of people.

==== MakerBot Thing-O-Matic ====

[[File:3dprintingspace.jpg|thumb|Thing O Matic is on the desk beside the PC Workstation]]

This is the newest Makerbot we have, it was released by makerbot in 2010.

* This is the one everyone uses - I don't think the other Makerbots are working. The '''Makerbot Thing-O-Matic''' is the printer to use at Noisebridge.

* You can hook up your computer to the Thing O Matic. Just bring a USB Cable (see the manual for which kind -it's the bigger USB cable used for scanners)

=== [[Monoprice Select Mini]] ===
* Pretty much the cheapest 3d printers available today. So not crazy high quality, but they tend to work more reliably once you get them going than the other ones.
* Not a very hot bed.
* ABS heat requirements are at the high end of what these can handle so use mostly PLA.

===== Learning at Home =====
* Take the time to read through the official documentation - http://www.makerbot.com/support/thingomatic/troubleshooting/
* Download the printer software MakerWare - http://www.makerbot.com/blog/category/makerbot-software-updates/
* Try to focus on working on 3D models at home.
** Download Sketchup and mess around with it

===== Learning at NoiseBridge =====

* Spend time just printing out existing 3D models on the thing o matic.
* Learn how to calibrate the printer
* Have someone walk you through replacing and inserting the filament
* -Don't waste your time on the CAD while your'e at noisebridge -- well if you want to you can do whatever you want, but you can work on models at home. If you do work on a model, try to focus on stuff that is printer specific, such as learning which filler settings make it print faster.-

==== MakerBot Cupcake CNC ====

''Not advised for beginners to use''

One of the printers is a CupCake CNC. It's really old! I think it's not usable because the open source software we were using (ReplicatorG) doesn't work anymore. Plus MakerWare, the software from Makerbot doesn't work with this thing anymore either.

''I don't advise beginners to try using the Cupcakes, the software is a PITA''

There is really good documentation for this on the Makerbot website. It was the first MakerBot ever and sold as a kit...

* Troubleshooting the MakerBot Cupcake CNC - http://www.makerbot.com/support/cupcake/troubleshooting/

===== Makerbot Cupcake CNC / Firmware =====

* Sailfish - http://www.makerbot.com/sailfish/install/
** This isn't official firmware

* '''Makerbot Slicer''' (now called ''MakerWare beta'') - It seemed to use the Makerbot Slicer but from our [[Makerbot|Noisebridge Wiki page]] there seems to be more modern software that doesn't work. http://www.makerbot.com/support/makerware/documentation/slicer/
** Modern MakerWare Beta - I'm not sure if it works with the Makerbot cupcake
****Upon installation MakerWare only lists the Replicator or Thing-O-Matic
****http://www.makerbot.com/makerware/
****To-Do: talk to the Makerbot support page later

=== Up! 3D printer ===
[[File:Up3dprinter.jpg|thumb|right|Up! 3D printer. don't mess with it or its boyfriend will come back and kick your ass!]]

This is an easy to use 3D printer. They are from China and have been extremely aggressive about hiring people from the hacker community to evangelize, but I haven't seen people be very open about this. They have good firmware, it is produced by elite university students. They are not part of the open source community.
* Update june 2013 - I think this thing is broken. There is a message not to mess with it. Do not mess with the UP! printer or its boyfriend will come back and whup your ass!

* Official site - http://www.pp3dp.com/
* Up! 3D Printer drivers http://www.pp3dp.com/index.php?option=com_jdownloads&Itemid=90&view=viewcategory&catid=1

=== Type A! Machines ===
[[File:Typeaprototype.jpg|thumb|right|older Type A 3D printer prototype]]

Nice 3D printers produced in the Bay Area. They visit noisebridge a lot - I feel since it is a private company with noisebridge connections it is in their best interest to handle all their documentation, marketing, training themselves. If you want to do this free work then erase this entry and start wiki-ing away. I'm not really going to do free work for this. They are nice people and they need to do this if they want to become a successful scalable business.
* we only have early prototypes of a Type A machine so far. it is mysterious, on its side.
* (total rumor) I heard a rumor that there was money donated for a new type a machine but it is not here yet. somebody totally confirm this rumor so that i am not gossipping.

==3D printing Software==

You don't have to actually work with the 3D printers at noisebridge to get started. A big mistake a lot of beginners do that I see is getting overly obsessed with learning the CAD 3D software and then giving up. I recommend doing that stuff at home and then focusing on doing the 3D printing hardware when you are the space.

* ''The Noisebridge members who created the [[Makerbot]] wiki put up some great software so I'm lifting a lot of the text directly off there.''

=== Software: Making 3D Models ===
This is a huge, exhaustive topic and can take years to master. Try not to get too intimidated. There are a lot of people who studied industrial engineering and like all nerds they can spend a lot of time fussing over things that are technically interesting but not very pragmatic for what you as a beginner want to do.

As always, I'd like to favor open source software, but the stuff out there that is commercial is simply a lot easier for beginners to tackle, plus they can download this for free.

* '''Tinkercad''' - https://tinkercad.com/ - disclosure that this was acquired by autoDesk recently after being shut down by a small start-up of Finnish guys.
** Everything is done within a web browser, and they have a lot of "quests" and starter projects that are very helpful. The models that emerge are actually fairly sophisticated; I printed my first Arduino 3D case using a tinkercad model I found on thingiverse.
* Sketchup - if you're not used to CAD software this is a great place to start

==== Software: preparing 3D Models ====

* '''netfabb''' - they are awesome, i think they are german? they offer a free download. you can use this software to "repair" 3d models so they are easier to print http://www.netfabb.com/download.php

=== Software: 3D printer Drivers ===

3D printers need drivers. Think of the printer driver that you download and use to print on your laser printer or inkjet printer. If only you could get software drivers for online dates but--whoops that was unprofessional.

* Luckily the open source community has provided many great 3D printer drivers. These are also called firmware.
* You can hook up the 3D Printers directly to your laptop, plus downloading this free software will help you save a lot of time.

Here is the list of Driver software:

==3D Printing Projects==

This is just a rough overview of projects for beginners. This needs to be merged into a general page that includes both beginners and experts.

===Relatively Recent 3D Printing Projects===

====[[Noisebridge_3D_Printing_Member_Projects|Noisebridge 3D Printing Member Projects]]====

It would be ideal to put our stl files here instead of on a commercial service. Noisebridge is an open source community. I think Thingiverse is very useful for beginners though.

====3D printing Guide====

* Full disclosure: I am thinking about making a 3D printing guide printed as a zine or book. This could possibly be offered as a tangible object so that people could give donations to Noisebridge or sudoRoom but I haven't fleshed out the details yet.

===Ancient History 3D Printing===

====[[3D_Anatomical_Models|3D Printing Anatomical Models]]====

This one from 2012 is pretty weird. I wonder what happened to it? And why brains? So interesting! I am pretty surprised that this didn't branch off into the predictable erotica or porn 3D Printouts.

====[[3D_Gfx|Ancient 2011 3D Graphics]]====
This is super old. but it looked like it was off to a good start!

==Other==

===Fear of Noisebridge===

Noisebridge has a lively discussion mailing list since there are many colorful personalities here. I don't think that these kinds of lists should scare you away from Noisebridge. Note that there are a lot of introverts here so those people tend not to talk a lot on the lists.

===Good Patterns===
* Getting beginners up and running
* Explaining really dumb and obvious things like "how to turn on the printer" - for some reason a lot of smart 3D printing companies do not feel it's important to do this. =D
* Updating the equipment list so that even beginners can figure out what is going on
* Training beginners to be educated enough to help repair broken 3D printers. a lot of people really want to help but they don't know where to start. Just getting them to be able to identify parts and then tip off more experienced members will lighten the work load and prevent burn out from the more experienced folks.
* Training beginners to learn how to maintain the 3D printers and software, this is a great way for them to learn and help out Noisebridge

===Anti-Patterns===

* Too much discussion of private funding / someone's private or non profit 3D printing project business
* Endless videos of neat 3D printing projects by the military, governmental organizations, multibillion dollar corporations. This is a good way ''not'' to learn 3D printing. trust me, we have all been there.

==== Enter parts in database ====

<h5>Process Batch: do {</h5>
Process in general: look at https://parts.noisebridge.net/status which numbers have not been entered yet. Decide which you want to work on and go to the electronics area and grab bunch of drawers with the numbers. Go to your computer, open https://parts.noisebridge.net/form, type in the drawer-number in the big field on top and press return. There is an 'edit pen' right next to the value field to edit the content if you are in the space (if not, try http://pegasus.noise:3000/ )

<h5>Identify</h5>
Identify the parts in the drawers: choose a category (or enter a new category in the 'other' field), enter part values, description and possibly datasheet (sometimes you have to find the datasheet to know what something is. Use OctoPart, DigiKey or Mouser to help. If you have a datasheet URL, copy it in the appropriate field).

Once you submit this form, you are automatically placed to the next number, which makes entering quick.

<h5>Some tips for component types</h5>
First, familiarize yourself with the available category types in the input form. Use it to give a highlevel category to the component you are looking at.

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#resistor resistors]''', just write the raw value+decimal suffix. So '''100''' for 100 Ohm or '''5.6k''' for 5600 Ohm. Use the number of significant digits given on the resistor. If it is a 3 + 1 stripe resistor, these are two significant digits (e.g. '''12k'''), on a (4 + 1) stripe resistor, they are three significant digits (e.g. '''23.4k'''). If you know the tolerance of the resistor (gold = 5%, brown = 1%), then add it in the description field.

[[File:electronic-parts-resistory-entry.png|300px]]

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#capacitor capacitors]''', write the value + unit (pF, nF, uF -- with 'u' being used for 'micro'). E.g. '''2200uF''' or '''100nF'''. The following image shows an aluminum capacitor entry ('Aluminum Cap' category)

[[File:electronic-parts-alucap-entry.png|300px]]

For '''[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#transistor transistors]''', '''ICs''' etc. write the component value as seen on the package such as '''74LS132'''. For transistors, also record additional information found in the datasheet (see below in ''Description'')

[[File:electronic-parts-transistor-entry.png|300px]]

Some component types don't have a value or something, they need a more free-form value, e.g. '''8 Pin header, 0.1"'''

If the component cannot be determined, check the '''? MYSTERY''' category, so that it is easy to find for someone to have another look.

If the box is '''empty''', just write 'empty' in the name/value.

See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_7400_series_integrated_circuits popular names for Integrated Circuits] on Wikipedia.

<h5>Footprint</h5>
In the ''Footprint'' field, enter the footprint of the part if you know it; Not so much for resistors or capacitors (though distance of leads might be useful: e.g. 7.5mm)
Search for '''TO220''', '''TO-92''' or '''TO-3''' for pictures of common transistor footprints to familiarize.
Dual-in-Line cases (almost all ICs we have there), are typically abbreviated DIL-something, e.g. DIL14 or DIL16 (for 14 or 16 pins).

<h5>Description</h5>
In the ''Description'' field, add a one line description if it is an IC (e.g. '''Dual Schmitt-Trigger''', you find these in the datasheet).
For components such as resistors, capacitors or transistors it is good to have some semi-structured way to enter additional parameters of the part, such as '''Ice=5A, Uce=50V''' for transistors or '''P=0.25W''' for resistors, '''U=16V''' for aluminum capacitors.
You find these values in the datasheet if you had to search for the part online. If you do electronics, ask yourself what you would like to be able to search for to narrow down to a set of components (I will make searching ranges possible later).
Use the Search tab to find examples; e.g. search for '[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#transistor transistor]' to get examples for transistors or '[https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#P= P=]' for resistors that have this value set.

<h5>Notes</h5>
Put in notes things that are not really component related, but something like 'needs picture' if it is a really strange part that would be better with an image.

<h5>Contribute code</h5>
This is a web app with a go backend and no libraries on the front end. Feel free to look at the code and contribute or build something excellent with the API. https://github.com/hzeller/stuff-org

<h5>} while (!tired_yet)</h5>
Return the drawers back to where they came from and take the next batch. Repeat until tired :)

<h5>If there are multiple components in a drawer (Or just one or two components in a drawer)</h5>
If you find a drawer that has one number, but there seem to be multiple components inside, we need to separate them, because there is only one ID per component. If it is only a few stray components between the 'real' components, just sort them out and keep in a mixed-parts drawer -- we can take care of that later, no reason to waste time on this one yet.

If the there are more than a few stray components, it makes sense to separate them and put in a separate drawer. Use a drawer that already has a label but is empty - you find them on the status page (they are crossed out), or by [https://parts.noisebridge.net/search#empty searching for it]. Put the components you want to separate in that drawer and change the entry in the database from 'empty' to the new value.

(If there are no empty drawers with a label left, take a new empty drawer and put a '''blue''' tape sticker on it, and just put the component inside - we can label and put in the database later)
