Hello ruza,
I have put my schedule together. 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

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:

Please let me know what you think.

Ahoj!
Stale netusim, co se probiralo na minulem meetupu a jestli se neco
dohodlo kolem bodu, ktere byly planovane k probrani - kdo tam byl, mohli
byste prosim aspon par vet napsat na http://brmlab.cz/meetups?

Vazeni pratele v Brmlabu, sympatizanti a dalsi
mame jedinecnou prilezitost zorganizovat spolecnymi silami propagacni
akci pro brmlab, ktera jiste nezustane nepovsimnuta. Mitch Altman, autor
hw device TV-B-Gone (univerzalni vypinac televize) bude v polovine zari
v Praze a je ochotny podporit nas hackerspace usporadanim workshopu na
toto tema. Tuto prilezitost bysme si rozhodne nemeli nechat ujit.

Potrebujeme zajistit prostory vhodne pro workshop. Napada mne oslovit
Tomase z ASRG, ktery nam neco v tomto smyslu nabizel nebo oslovit Hub
Prague, mozna usporadat na matfyzu. mame jeste nejake jine moznosti?
je to dobra prilezitost jak k brmlabu pritahnout dalsi lidi. Dnes na
prednasce o Fab6 se objevili dalsi, ktere projekt brmlabu zajima. Jak
Mitch pise pokud budeme mit nejake brmlab-related zalezitosti jako
stickery, tricka, propagacni zalezitosti, vytistene materialy. Dalsi napady?
Nevahejte se zapojit, pojdte byt u toho

Ahoj všichni!
Předpokládám, že je vás více, koho zajímá, co se nového událo v tvorbě
našeho pilotního projektu "Brmbot outdoor". (Teď má zaznít fanfára).
Nejprve v krátkosti představím aktuální tým (ano, to je české slovo):
Tutchek - Duchovní otec projektu, ač má málo času, jsou jeho zkušenosti
a znalosti robotických soutěží hnacím motorem celého projektu.
Ax(TheB) - Podvozkový majitel, konstruktér-čekatel, nalezl vhodný
podvozek, objednal a plánuje za pomoci Merkurovy vytvořit základ brmbot
chassis.
TMA - Konzultant kritických systémů, provázel nás na cestě od vrtaček
přes dětské tříkolky až k tankům, pomáhal s návrhem grafických filtrů
pro detekci různých povrchů, vždy má čerstvé a užitečné nápady (s
výjimkou případů, kdy překrucuje stanovy).
Archimedes - Specialista grafických filtrů a zpracování signálů, díky
němu bude mít brmbot outdoor funkční oko a pozná, zda je v záhonu či na
cestě.
joe - Programátor-lopata. Napsal prototyp software pro navigaci brmbota
pomocí GPS a dat z openstreetmap.org.
Když už nás znáte, pojďme se podívat, co již máme hotovo:
- software, který umí navigovat v rámci zadané lokality: dostane výseč
dat z OSM, zadáme mu cíl a než do něj dojede, počítá potřebný směr a
vzdálenost, kam po cestách jet. Aktuální polohu bere z GPS a získaná
data koreluje se známou mapou a informacemi o stavu (například fakt, že
na začátku ví, že je na cestě) -
http://brmlab.cz/project/brmbot_outdoor#software (je tam obrázek).
- podvozek na cestě k Axovi:
http://www.modelyrc.cz/index.php?p=productsMore&iProduct=23 - jestli
nedostaneme nějaké body alespoň za to, jak drsně brmbot vypadá, tak
porušíme pravidlo o červeném tlačítku a o zákazu poškozování
ostatních :)
- (částečně) vymyšlené algoritmy detekce trávy/cesty/všehomožného -
obrázky najdete na
http://brmlab.cz/project/brmbot_outdoor#image_processing
Samozřejmě teď je potřeba naprogramovat nějaký ten jednočip na ovládání
tanku, napojit jej přes RS232 na řídící počítač a začít testovat
skutečnou jízdu.
18.9. v Bratislavě chceme pochopitelně vyhrát - vůbec si nevšímejte
zlých jazyků, které tvrdí, že při tak krátkém času na vývoj nám brmbot
vjede do prvního záhonu.
Zůstaňte naladěni, více přijde.
[100% brmbot, 100% outdoor, 0% microsoft, 0% byrokracie]
Neptejte se, co může brmlab udělat pro vás, ptejte se, co můžete pro
brmlab udělat vy!
joe
Ahoj,
vyjadrete se prosim

Zdravim,
dostal jsem detailnejsi info ohledne ubytovani, tak bych od zajemcu
rad potvrzeni, ze plati jmena. Pokud se chystate na konferenci,
pripadne chcete byt v Bratislave drive jak v Pa, tak je to mozne, ale

--------------------
http://www.ubytovanieszu.sk/eng/
Cena je 15+1.65 EUR/noc/osobu - je to vcelku slusne byvanie, dvojpostelove
izby. Priamo spred ubytovne ide autobus MHD cislo 32 k nasej fakulte a aj
k botanickej zahrade. Registracia na ubytovanie u mna.
Kto chce byt aj na konferencii, da sa tam ubytovat uz od stredy 15.9.
--------------------
Jeste doplnim, ze chcete-li hotel, tak je to mozne, ale musite si ho
zaridit sami. Obecne aktualni info slovenskych organizatoru je na

Protoze moje CIF kamera ma nevhodny format vystupu, kdo jste ochotny obetovat vhodnejsi (jak zjistit jeji parametry je na wiki), vezmete ji, prosim, na meetup. Kdyz nebude, koupim prvni VGA, co mi prijde pod ruku :)

Znate ten vtip jak zacina Nasa rota vlastni maly dreveny tancik... Tak uz
taky jeden mame ;) resp. do uterka budeme mit. Je u nej zasoba BB kulicek
ktere pred konverzi na mirove ucely muzeme vystrilet... teste se na pristi
meetup! Tancik mne vysel na tri tisce, byl bych rad kdyby mi nekdo s jeho
sponzoringem pomohl.
