I do electronics in Prague since many years, with few cool friends. I own just about everything that is listed under "electronics" in your wish list. Including the oscilloscope and 6 quad cores, plus many Monitors and 6 projectors XL51 from Sanyo. My principal occupation the last 15 years has been to hack hardware and software from slot machines so to produce and market my own versions in Europe and Asia. I know some very talented programmers and electrotecnicians, especially in Ukraine, Romania, Slovenia and Israel. Now we are converting our business to leasing Bio medical devices and setting up a social business just like yours somewhere around Prague also very soon. I come with solid partners, like www.momentfactory.com http://nomadindustries.tv <http://nomadindustries.tv/> or www.ecohabitation.com I will be at your meeting next week. I am mostly interested in finding a few people who can handle Unity 3D game engine development. Wish you good luck in your projects, Kind regards, Sylvain Audet Service factory Prague 6

repost -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Hackerspace] [maltman23(a)hotmail.com: RE: Slovakia visit] FYI - ake prednasky mame od Mitcha na vyber. Ja by som si celkom dal aj kludne "How to start a hackerspace" alebo "Brain machine". Mali by sme sa dohodnut, co od neho vlastne chceme, aby sme vedeli, co mame dalej propagovat :) ----- Forwarded message from Mitch Altman <maltman23(a)hotmail.com> ----- Date: Sun, 5 Sep 2010 16:04:47 -0700 From: Mitch Altman <maltman23(a)hotmail.com> To: Pavol Luptak <wilder(a)trip.sk> Subject: RE: Slovakia visit Hi Pavol, I don't have a list anywhere of my presentations. But, here's a few to choose from: -- 5-minute Lightning talk: How I went from a depressed blob of a kid to a jet-setting, public-speaking inventor who loves my life -- 60-minute (including Q&A): How to bring you project from idea to reality, and make a living on what you love -- 60-minute (including Q&A): How to start a hackerspace -- 60-minute (including Q&A): How to make cool things with microcontrollers (Microcontrollers 101) -- 60-minute (including Q&A): TV-B-Gone, Life, and Media literacy -- 60-minute (including Q&A): Brain Machine I also take requests. :) 14:00h for the workshop and 20:00h for the presentation sounds good.

FreezeFest 17-20.9. 2010 - uděláme workshop?
by Tomáš Mudruňka 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Ahoj, dovoluji si vás všechny pozvat na nezávislý festival freezefest ( http://freezefest.cz/ ) kromě hudby, audiovizuálního umění, divadla a filmů bude k vidění i spousta workshopů. Bylo by možné dokonce udělat workshopy vlastní, nebo alespoň prezentaci hackerspacu brmlab.cz. Při nejmenším tam může být příjemný hackerspace meetup a kyberia.cz session :-) vstupné je tuším dobrovolné. Pokud tedy někdo máte dobrý nápad na workshop, neváhejte ho hodit do pléna. Tuším že byly v našich řadách nějaké otázky ohledně thereminu - v okodómu bude workshop hraní na theremin. k vidění toho bude jistě mnohem víc a najdete to na stránkách. těším se na vaši účast. Já osobně tam pojedu asi o den dřív s lidma z Arachne Laboratories (xchaos a spol.) stavět fullerovu báň (aka geodetický dóm - na stránkách freezu "okodóm"). A následně tam snad budeme i provozovat nějakou reprodukovanou hudbu z naší wannabe soundsystem dodávky (dokud nás to bude bavit). Potom by mohla být naše (poměrně slušná) aparatura volná pro jedince s laptopama nebo hračkama, kteří mají co zahrát/ukázat, ale nemají vlastní bedny. Snad se vydaří počasí a budeme tam moct kempovat celou dobu. peace Harvie

Priestor pre Confidence Prague
by Pavol Luptak 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Ahojte Prazaci, mam problem najst nejake rozumne a relativne lacne priestory pre Confidence 2.0 v Prahe 29-30.11.2010, viac info: http://201002.confidence.org.pl/. Vsetko je bud obsadene, alebo strasne drahe. Oslovil som suz.cvut.cz, pedf.cuni.cz, sic.czu.cz, mlp.cz, ... vsetko maju v dany termin obsadene. Ako lokalni obyvatelia Prahy so znalostou miestnych pomerov, viete mi doporucit nejake vhodne a cenovo prijatelne miesto na konferenciu? 5B Odhadovany pocet navstevnikov konferencie je priblizne 240 ludi, idealne, keby tam bola aj nejaka predsien na pripadne stanky (CTF). Nejaky voucher coupon pre clenov Brmlabu som Vam uz slubil... :) Podotykam, ze ide o cisto technicku (nemarketingovu, neproduktovu) geekovsku konferenciu.

The date that will work for me for a workshop at brmlab is Thursday, 16-September. Can that work for you? If so, I will arrive in Prague on the 15th, do the workshop on the 16th, and leave (for Budapest) on the 17th. Is there someone who can put me up while in Prague? I am really easy. A couch, floor space, 5-star hotel -- whatever! Warm regards, Mitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: maltman23(a)hotmail.com To: ruza(a)ruza.eu CC: stefan.marsiske(a)gmail.com; rada(a)brmlab.cz Subject: RE: mitch altman in bratislava,prague,bucharest Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:02:25 -0700 Hello, ruza, Good to hear from you! Congratulations on signing your rental agreement. :) It's an exciting time. In my experience it is best to open up the workshop to everyone. This usually attracts a lot of people who may not otherwise have heard of your space, and potentially become members. At the beginning of each workshop I give an introduction, and in it I let people know that the hackerspace is funded by member dues and dontations, and welcome people to donate any amount of money if they like. So, it is good to have a donation box. It is also good to have stickers for your hackerspace to give away so that people can put them on their laptops, street lamp poles, and everywhere -- this reminds people to come back to the hackerspace. Also, if you have any T-shirts or anything else for sale, I'll point that out. Please feel free to use the workshop as a fund-raising opportunity. My time is free -- I only ask to be reimbursed for my kits used in the workshop. I'm still putting dates together for my workshops in Eastern Europe. Maybe the 15th or 16th of September would be good? Does that work for you? To do a workshop, I'll need you to get the following together: - a room big enough for everyone to solder - a demo table to show all the kits that people can make - tables and chairs for people to solder at - lighting (if the room doesn't have enough) -- several lamps different lamps make for a nice feel, too - soldering irons, each with a stand and sponge (ideally one per participant, but people can share, if necessary) - wire cutters (ideally one per participant, again, people can share, if necessary) - solder (with lead is way better!, but unleaded will work if that's all you can get) - hot glue gun, with glue sticks to fit it - AA alkaline batteries (about 40 is good) - power strips (with one outlet for each solder iron, plus lighting, plus a hot glue gun, plus daisy chaining) - AC extension cords to get power to each power strip - enough printouts of the "Soldering Is Easy" comic for all participants (translate them, if you like!): http://www.tvbgone.com/mfaire/soldercomic/soldercomic.pdf I'll bring all the kits and tools, and everything else needed. No charge for my time. I do this 'cause I love teaching people how to make things, and love helping hackerspaces. I ask to be reimbursed for kits used during the workshop, which is between US$10 and US$30 per kit (most are US$20). The workshop is best described by checking out what's been posted for previous workshops I've given: http://www.nycresistor.com/2010/01/15/mitch-altmans-electronics-workshop-12… http://robotbrighton.ning.com/events/electronics-workshop-with http://www.tog.ie/2010/03/electronics-workshop-with-mitch-altman-and-jimmie… Please feel free to copy from these for publicity purposes.
