Spolupráce na Ubuntu Global Jamu.
by Tomáš Břinčil 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Zdravím brmlabáci, Píšu za občanské sdružení Ubuntu pro českou republiku. Chystá se celosvětová akce na prvního dubna → Ubuntu Global Jam. Link zde: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/567/detail/ Není to bůhvíjaká megaakce. Cílem je udělat něco pro komunitu. V minulých letech jsme se soustředili na úpravy naší wiki, překlady softwaru a administraci. Ač máme největší komunitu mezi linuxovými distribucemi je paradoxně nejlínější. V loňském roce se nás sešlo přibližně deset :o( Už několikrát na našich schůzích padlo slovo "brmlab" a myslíme si, že by nemusel být špatný nápad občas spojit síly. *Tímto e-mailem Vás tedy jako komunitu žádám o projednání konání akce Ubuntu Global Jamu ve Vašich prostorách.* Předpokládám, že mezi Vámi je GNU/Linux také majoritou a naše komunity určitě najdou společnou řeč. Budeme respektovat Vaše rozhodnutí a můžeme klidně uskutečnit akci v prostorách pražských restauracích jako v předešlých ročnících. Jsme otevřeni vést diskuzi. Zatím zjišťujeme jaká by mohla být účast. V případě, že nenaplníme toužený počet 7-12 zájemců mimo řady našeho jádra akce se pravděpodobně konat nebude. Těším se na Vaši odpověď. -- s pozdravem Tomáš Břinčil.. regards Tomáš Břinčil.. Prosím o odpověď s původním zprávou.

Fwd: [hackerspaces] deadline approaching for Hackerspace Challenge
by Pavel Ruzicka 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

-------- Original Message -------- From: Mitch Altman <maltman23(a)hotmail.com> To: hackerspaces-discuss <discuss(a)lists.hackerspaces.org>, hackerspaces-announce <announce(a)lists.hackerspaces.org> Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2011 09:55:48 -0800 The deadline to request to participate in the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge is approaching. If your hackerspace would like to be chosen as one of the 10 to participate in this new Challenge, please email me to tell me why your space should be chosen! You don't have to tell me what your space is going to do for the Challenge. For now, just email me about why your space should be one of the 10 hackerspaces to be part of the this Challenge. *The deadline: 17:00h Friday (California time -- PST -- UTC-8).* *Email to:* * mitch **at** CornfieldElectronics **dot** com* The idea of this new Challenge is to encourage hackerspaces to come up with ways of helping with education. Our education systems are failing us, and hackerspaces are in a unique position to help. This Challenge has 3 simple criterea: * Your hackerspace will create a project that helps with education by 13-May-2011. * The project will make use of a microcontroller. * The project will make use of a portable power source. Each space gets about 6 weeks to complete the project, and will be given a budget of US$900 (or equivalent). Since I announce the challenge, the sponsors (Element14) have been kicking in some way cool stuff for all who participate. All 10 hackerspaces chosen to participate will get the following: - 5 soldering stations from OKI (MFR 1100 Series) - 5 soldering stations from ATG (specific model TBD) - TechSpray: 10 ESD Safe Lead cutters per team (170LX) & 10 Desoldering braid (1810-5F) - and maybe more The 3 finalists who will present at the San Francisco Maker Faire in May will all receive: - Fluke 233 DMM (worth US$300) - Fluke 381 Clamp Meter (worth US$500) - Tektronix PWS4205 Power Supply (worth US$865) - Agilent HH DMM (specific model TBD) And the space with the project chosen to be the coolest will receive: - Tektronix MSO2024 oscilloscope (worth around US$5,600) Of course, this isn't about competition, but about getting together to create something way cool and helpful for education. We can do it! All of the details about the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge are here: http://www.tvbgone.com/downloads/hs_challenge/hs_challenge.htm or http://tiny.cc/hschal Get your proposals in! Cheers, Mitch.

brmdoor update
by Petr Baudis 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Ahoj! Napsal jsem dnes vecer novy brmdoor skript, ktery sbira data ze switchu na club mate panelu vedle dveri (a treba informace o otevreni dveri) a reportuje je na IRC a na webu. Stick uz to pilne zaintegroval na wiki. Web interface: http://nat.brmlab.cz/brmd/ Zdrojaky: http://gitorious.org/brmlab/brmdoor/trees/master Bezi jako brmlab@brmko:brmdoor/brmd.pl (ve screene uzivatele brmlab). Ja se asi k TODO itemum dostanu zase nevimkdy, takze klidne hackujte. Je to sice Perl, ale myslim, ze nijak krypticky, cokoliv rad vysvetlim. Happy hacking, Petr "Pasky" Baudis

Jiz zitra (utery 8.3.) ve 20:00 je VALNA HROMADA!
by Michal Tuláček 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Ahoj, pripominam ze JIZ ZITRA ve 20:00 v Brmlabu je Valna hromada a pripominam zaroven, ze aktualne hrozi sdruzeni zanik, pokud nas na VH neprijde dostatecne mnozstvi. Udelejte si tedy prosim cas. Navrzeny program VH: 1. Organizacni cast VH - zvoleni organu VH 2. Schvaleni programu 3. Schvaleni zmeny stanov v souladu s pozadavkem MV CR 4. Konec pri dobrem prubehu to nezabere vice nez pul hodiny (a muzeme se pokusit o rekord v rychlosti :), takze se prosim ukazte, menime stanovy, musi to odhlasovat 3/5 pritomnych clenu ale nejmene tretina vsech clenu sdruzeni! A pro ty ktere to zajima, proc se schazime: Na minule VH jsme si odhlasovali zmenu stanov a mimo jine i zmenu sidla sdruzeni. Napsali jsme tam ciste "Sidlem sdruzeni je Praha", protoze jsem mel za to, ze to staci vzhledem k ustanoveni obcanskeho zakoniku o pravnickych osobach. Ministerstvu to ale nestaci a chteji tam plne sidlo, o cemz jsem si s nimi po mailu parkrat napsal a vyslo z toho, ze maji bohuzel asi pravdu. Technicky by tedy stacilo do toho co jsme jim poslali, pripsat tu plnou adresu misto "Praha". Problem je, ze to je zmena stanov, nase stanovy se brani svevolne zmene stanov a tedy jsme zvolili cistsi variantu, jak tam tu zmenu dostat. Na druhou stranu, kdyby se jim nelibilo i neco dalsiho, tak jsme napsali takove reseni (ciste), ktere nebude nutit svolat v takovem pripade treti valnou hromadu, ale uz to tam bude moct napsat predseda spolecne s radou a revizkou nejak korektne sam.

PS Zde je kopie newsletteru bez funkcnich linek. Greetings to All! This is the first official newsletter which I'm sending to the people who fallow my activities, my life journey. I'm going to do this since now on on a regular basis once per quarter of the year. Now lets start with a bit of retrospective. What happened in the last two years and why you do not know too much about it. The second first, well I was not systematic enough, short and simple. Now lets say the story. Well first of all I've left fundamental research and my position at the department of Biochemistry at National University of Ireland, Galway at the end of 2008. Since than I've spend several months in Czech Republic in Ceske Budejovice and left for USA to enjoy some adventures! I've hitch hiked from Chicago by Interstate 90 in the direction of West coast and after few weeks I got to Vancouver which I liked very much. From there I've used the same mode of transport to get to Alaska through British Columbia and Yukon. I've spend a summer salmon fishing season in Cordova and Valdez sadly known as a place of one of the biggest oil spillage disasters in the history. However these months full of wonderful adventures spend in a pristine nature were just amazing, I'll always remembering these times and you will be able to get a glimpse of them in my photo gallery and letters from my travels. At the end of August I left for California stopping in Liard River Hot Springs which I've to recommend to everyone, crossing Washington and Oregon enjoying the wonderful sights of its costs, hitting California and it's Redwood Parks finally reaching "City of liberty" San Francisco. In SF I've found Noisebridge first hackerspace which was the first hacker space where I've ever been in to. This community of people was amazing and I really liked the way how they live and work together. They helped me enormously with my project of Multimedia Center Build up at Cuba. I've left for Cuba at the end of October, and stayed until the mid of December and it was just amazing stay. Complicated but great, I loved the people in the Placetas, Matanzas and countryside in general and of course my friends in Habana. I've left Cuba to travel hitch hiking around Central America starting with Yucatan, going to Belize, crossing to Guatemala where I've enjoyed a week of lovely pneumonia. I've walked by the Pacific Ocean to San Salvador, staying in the capital a bit and leaving on the New Years Eve to Honduras which mountains I liked very much. The final country which I've visited in the direction of South was Nicaragua where I've stayed for some three weeks visiting Managua where I've been robed by gang, Granada and San Juan del Sur which I liked very much. Unfortunately it is also starting to be more and more touristy loosing it's true spirit. During my stay in this town I've decided to come back to Chiapas especially to San Cristóbal de Las Casas and served there as a volunteer under Mexican non profit organization Nataté Voluntariado Internacional. I've had a great time here, getting to know better the situation in the region and starting to have a closer ties with the local indigenous people through our volunteer projects like building houses, cooking, fermenting etc. I've stayed for four months leaving later on for Oaxaca, Zipolite which is an amazing Pacific nude beach, and hitch hiked by the coast towards USA through Acapulco, Lázaro Cárdenas, Manzanillo, Puerto Vallarta, Tepic etc. to Heroica Nogales, where I've crossed border to Arizona, USA. I've managed with bit of troubles to cross the Central Valley where I got sun burn and I can say that it was probably the worst hitch hiking experience until now, basically no one would stop. However I got at the end a ride and joint by one cool guy and I hit finally San Francisco as it should be, hitch hiking and lightly stoned. I've entered Noisebridge and Three Stone Hearth Kitchen and began to enjoy my stay in the amazing atmosphere of the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been learning a lot as a apprentice and brewing master in Three Stone Hearths (TSH) enjoying their very progressive and unique business model and most of all amazing community. I've been also experimenting a lot at Noisebridge co-founding food hacking group called Tastebridge where we have had a brewing classes and cooking classes, we did a lots of experiments and also promoted our self on Underground markets which was really great opportunity to try in a fun way and with support of community what some would like to do for living. People therefore could learn how to produce their probiotic drinks, bottle them, label them and sell them, whole circle model for a minimum of expenses. I've spend my time in San Francisco very actively, visiting also a course of Japanese at Soko Gakuen language school and enjoying my visited of Japan Town a lot, especially my favourite Japanese spa Kabuki Springs & Spa which I can recommend to everyone. Also my active involvement in nudism was great remembering visits of my friend Darius, enjoying the nudist dinners, my relaxation time at Baker Beach and certainly not forgetting my wonderful trip with Darius to visit his friends, very nice gay couple at Cobb Mountain and enjoying a short stay in a Harbin Hot Springs which I truly loved and I would like to recommend to everyone to visit! The half year which I've spend in SF Bay Area was amazing but I can say that at the end I was ready to go. I've confirmed to myself that I'm not a city person and I will never be. It was important experience which has shown me many things through which I'll go later on. To finish this part of the story you could find me on 8th of December packed with the fly ticket in my hand to Narita, Japan. Well not having a newly required "transit visa" for Canada the trip did not happen in stead I had to come back to Europe. I've used this opportunity to join as a food hacker one of the biggest annual hacker conferences around the world at 27th Chaos Communication Congress where I've been actively promoting food hacking both by lightning talk, workshops and food preparation. I've returned home to relax a bit because I was still quite exhausted after the SF. Very soon I've started to work on a preparation of my [hacker tour|food hacking tour]] around Europe and Japan, starting at Progress Bar log of the event in Bratislava on a full moon of 18th of February. The next stop is Brmlab in Prague and after that hopefully Chaoskueste in Kiel and many others for more details please see the [Hacker tour 2011|hacker tour page]]. Now when we are up to date, what is next? Well there are certainly many things which has to be done. The major tasks are now regular weekly updates of my activities on my news page and another one is the creation of the mailing list. I'm also starting to focus more on my finances, trying to fallow my financial plan for 2011, which I've set at least at $6000 and which I've still quite a way to finish. However the major things which happen in the last year or two was the confirmation that the sustainable development (sd) as a field of interest is really suitable for me. The realization that food production and conservation with the use of fermentations is something what I really would like to do as my specialization was pivotal for me. It had a strong influence on my stay in Mexico learning with indigenous people their way of utilization of Indian corn, discovering the preparation of pineapple vinegar in Cuban countryside, learning a lot in a medium scale production facility of Three Stone Hearth Kitchen and of course preparing my stay in Japan. I believe that this stay is going to be crucial for my future direction because the knowledge of probiotic foods in Japanese culture is one of the deepest on the world. I would like to study this art in Japan at least for a year. In the same time I've decided to work intensively on the improvement of my physical condition and my body posture especially, because it is absolutely crucial for my well being and I've deliberately omit it by a great deal for more than a decade. Anyone who would know some interesting life foods production facility in Japan and some lovely health spa, please let me know, I'm really ready for it! If I make a small projection of years to come I would like to keep the course. Learning more about food and drink fermentations in rural indigenous areas, combining them with today's scientific knowledge and technology, food hacking is something what I feel is being very beneficial for me and the society. I would like to help to improve already existing businesses and their production processes hoping to obtain more experience, port folio and funds. This I would like to combine with presentation from my travels, workshops on probiotic foods and publications of "letters from my travels". If I summarise all this together I should be able to do what I want as I want and support myself. It may happen that I start my own business, cooperative or community some day when I settle down somewhere but I think it is still few years in the future because I want to keep moving and seeing new things for a bit more. Now there were recently some questions about my relations to girls, probably because of my close ties to many gay, lesbian and transsexual people. Well, if I meet a girl who would be willing to spend her life with me and I feel the "spark" being present, than I would go for it. Otherwise I rather walk alone. Here I feel that it is time to wish you all the best and hope that more and more people will find their life more fulfilling. If I can help to spread this growth and prosperity around me by doing what I believe in, that would be great. If anyone would like to support me please get in touch or make a contribution by the donation, I do appreciate it. Have a great time and please stay in touch! Sincerely, Frantisek ::PS Please note that the first two newsletters will be send to the people who's contact details I have, after that just to the ones who sign for the mailing list which is in preparation. All newsletters will be posted and archived on the web pages.

shrnuti food hackingu v Brmlabu, co dal?
by Frantisek Apfelbeck 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Tak presnejsi info, doufam i posledni dnesni post, nic se nesmi prehanet. Dnesni program: Dnes budem dojizdet co se navarilo a zpracovavat co muze podlehnout rychle zkaze, jako zelenina, uzeniny, ovoce, rum ... Infrastrukturni vylepseni: Infrastrukturne jsme vylepsili kuchynku, jak se bude dale vyuzivat je na vas, doufam, ze napriklad na uterni meetingy by bylo fajn pripravovat neco chutneho a mit k tomu tedy prostory a vybaveni. Pro ted mame vetsi pracovni plochu, odkapavac, nejake to vybaveni na vareni (vetsinou pujcene) a radu surovin na pripravu pokrmu. Inkubator zustava, coz znamena topici element (aquarium heater) a izolovana bedna (bez vyka, chtelo by dodelat) pro snadnejsi fermentace. Fermentace: Udelal se workshop, nektere fermenty jsou jiz konzumovatelne v lednici (a popsane), kombuchova, kefirova a yogurtova kultura jsou taktez v lednici pro zajemce (popsano). Dale dnes budu sklizet alespon cast kombuch, kefir, plus zrejme medovou perlivku a delat dalsi varku. Kdo chce prijit a zopakovat si ci se priucit, tak je vytan (rekl bych tak 18:00-20:00), kdyztak napiste. Take se pokusim napsat lepsi manual. Finance. V tuhle chvilku jsme v zasade pokryli budget a ja ziskal kolem 300 Kc surplus jako donace na mou food hackeing tour. Kdo bude chtit dale podporit, tak je vytan bud primo na miste nebo na mych strankach http://frantisekapfelbeck.org skrz donation button, cisla na chip in button neodpovidaji, v zasade se jiz vybralo pres $1500 (musim odstranit chip in button, je k nicemu neb se tam nedaji pridat donace provedene off line). Co dal? No ja nabiram smer Nemecko, Holandsko, Francie, Irsko a pak Japonsko a na srpen zpet na CCC. Abych to vse uzkutecnil, tak potrebuji dat dohromady tak cca 25-30 tisic, coz si myslim, ze zvladnu i kdyz to zrejme bude tochu narocnejsi, mam ale stale cas. Rad bych zminil, ze na CCC tabore budu varit pro Neighbour camp coz je vesnicka Hackers on a Plane, co organizuje Nick Farr. Pocitame s tim, ze tohle bude taky hlavni food hacking centrum pro cele CCC, takze je na case zacit davat dohromady lidi, projekty, premyslet o vybaveni, logistice a budgetu. Cim vic nadsencu at u pripravy a experimentu ci posleze jidelniho stolu, tim lepe! Kdo ma zajem keep in touch, za nedlouho zalozim nejakou tu wiki na dane tema. Jinak co se tyce Brmlabu, tak doufam, ze tu food hacking a biolab budou i nadale fungovat a prosperovat a moc rad budu dane aktivity v ramci svych moznosti podporovat. Nuze pro ted se rozloucim, mejte se vsichni super a moc a moc diky za podporu, bylo to tu opravdu velmi prima a budu se tesit v budoucnu opet na videnou! Hackingu trikrat Zdar, Zdar, Zdar!!! Ahoj Frantisek PS zde je odkaz na muj newsletter a dopis z cest http://frantisekapfelbeck.org/tiki_wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Newsletters http://frantisekapfelbeck.org/tiki_wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Den%20Guy%20Faw…

[Noisebridge-discuss] Wanna participate in a new Hackerspace Challenge? Mitch Altman's post
by Frantisek Apfelbeck 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Message: 38 Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 11:51:24 -0800 From: Mitch Altman <maltman23(a)hotmail.com> Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Wanna participate in a new Hackerspace Challenge? To: NoiseBridge Discuss <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> Message-ID: <SNT102-W18F6CC73E5F3B5DA52A7A9B8C50(a)phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" I've been asked to send out invites for a new hackerspace challenge. I just sent the following to the hackerspaces.org list. Anyone at Noisebridge interested in participating? Mitch. -------------------- Hey! Here?s an opportunity to participate in a cool project, and also have a chance to get cool stuff for your hackerspace. Please pass this around to any hackerspace you think may be interested. The short version: Ten hackerspaces around the world will be chosen to participate in the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge to create something cool and useful for education. Each of the ten spaces that complete their project will receive PCB layout software, and some nice soldering setups so that they can better teach how to make cool things with electronics. These ten hackerspaces will each get $900 and two months to finish their project. Three finalists will be chosen to show off their projects live (in person, or virtually) at the San Francisco Maker Faire May. A panel of geeks will pick the one they think is coolest, and the winning space will win a handmade trophy and bragging rights, a top-of-the-line digital oscilloscope, and perhaps some other way cool stuff. The money to make all this happen is being put up by element14, the new brand of Newark/Farnell (who sell electronic parts and tools) to market to us DIY types. If you want to participate, please email me with a short (please, keep it short) explanation about why your space should be chosen as one of the ten. mitch **at** CornfieldElectronics **dot** com The dealine for emailing me to be considered is Friday, 11-March, 17:00h Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8). The long version: This is an international Hackerspace Challenge that is being developed in partnership with the electronics components company element14, http://us.element-14.com. The goal is for members of the teams to put their collective heads together and make a difference for a cause. The cause for this event is education. Why Education? Education cuts are barely out of the news, and the outlook remains grim across the world. Our schools continue to fail us in educating people for our collective futures. We need to foster practical and creative thinking and help provide equipment to inspire a lifetime of learning. Already, hackerspaces are helping fill the void - providing workshops, after school classes and vocational training, often for free, or very inexpensively. Now there is an opportunity to take that one step further, and to take something created in a hackerspace back to the classroom. The Great Global Hackerspace Challenge is officially being kicked off with an open invitation for all hackerspaces in the Americas, Europe and Asia to throw their hat into the ring and participate in the challenge. All interested hackerspaces are asked to submit a write up outlining why you should be considered to participate in the Challenge. Ten hackerspaces will be selected to participate. Hackerspaces must "earn" their spot in the challenge with passion, skill and engagement with the cause. The selected groups will then each have $900 and two months to design, prototype and build a project that serves a useful role in a classroom situation. It's up to the groups to define the term 'classroom', as well as all other terms. This could be K-12, or equivalent, school districts, or independent community programs. Each build must incorporate the following ?secret ingredients?, sourced from element14's online store ? a microcontroller and a portable power source. The rationale for selecting these as the secret ingredients are: * The use of a microcontroller will ensure that the final output be electronic in nature; * The use of a portable power source will ensure mobility (which we see as a vital component of usefulness in the classroom setting). During the build process the teams will be required to create an element14 community profile featuring information about their space, their team philosophy, bios and past builds/experience, as well as relevant information relating to the competition, so that their fans can follow their progress (including photos and video). Each team will have a handler assigned to them to oversee their progress and manage operational questions. To ensure that we are continually feeding content into the community over the course of the project, each team will be required to provide bi-weekly updates on their progress. At the conclusion of the project, all participants will submit a write up and video of their working project for an initial round of judging (the video does not need to be anything fancy ? just show us and the world your cool project!). The judging will be measured on the following criteria for each phase of the competition: * How reproducible is the final project * How easily can the parts be sourced in locations around the world * How low cost is the final output * How well are the plans documented * How relevant is the project to the educational goals of schools today * How inventive and creative is the design and build of the project The top 3 submissions will then be selected as semi-finalists who will advance to the final stage of the Challenge. The judging panel will include Mitch Altman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman, Ben Heck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Heckendorn, and yet to be revealed high profile industry celebrities. Hint: They're awesome. The announcement of these additional judges will be part of the ongoing community building throughout the project. The competition will culminate with the final judging at Maker Faire San Mateo in late May. Currently we are aiming to have the three finalists attend virtually, via video conference if they are remote, and in person if they already going to be present at the event. If the semi-finalists are traveling on their own dime they can certainly take the stage. There are no losers in this Challenge. All participating teams that complete their project for judging will receive Eagle PCB layout software, as well as a collection of soldering station kits including soldering iron, plenty of solder, wire strippers, and wire cutters, for their hackerspace's own, ongoing educational and teaching needs. We all want new people getting educated and involved in electronic design at Hackerspaces and hopefully this project will help support that goal. This last point is still in development but in addition to the soldering equipment, the three finalist teams will each be awarded a more substantial piece of equipment from a name brand manufacturer. This is yet to be locked in. Though Tektronics has already offered their MSO2024 model digital oscillioscope ($5,600)! The single, overall winner will receive bragging rights and a delightful handmade trophy. The organizers of this event will personally make it with their own hands, and from their hearts. To be considered for this Great Global Hackerspace Challenge, please email me a short (please, keep it short) proposal for your hackerspace, letting me know why your space should be chosen. mitch **at** CornfieldElectronics **dot** com The dealine for emailing me to be considered is Friday, 11-March, 17:00h Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8). Cheers, Mitch.
