Folks,

I'm gonna do a brief overview of wxpython tonight. We'll build a very
simple.. calculator or something. I'm gonna try something different,
since we don't have a projector, we're gonna use a vnc thing. So, head
over to tightvnc.com and download a client, and maybe take a peek at
this wxpython tutorial:

http://wiki.wxpython.org/Getting%20Started

See you all tonight.

Subject: [AMTD] Learning how to design PCBs? PS: Come to the space tomorrow
	night
Message-ID: <CACAQXeJZKnKy6=0qchRnFn6_QVA32WZ53chjdCoXizm1jFMGvQ@mail.gmail.com>

Is there any interest in learning how to design PCBs? I haven't got a lot of
people coming to the AVR/Arduino nights recently, so I'm thinking about
teaching how to design your own PCB, from schematic capture to board layout
to sending it off to a hobby-friendly PCB manufacturer.

Either way, if you're interested in Arduino/AVR/PCB design, stop by the
space on wens night (tomorrow). Official time is 7pm-9pm, but likely I'll be
there starting at 6pm or so.

I used the free version of eagle and followed the tuts on Spark fun.
Eagle seems pretty good, but the free version limits the size of the
PCB you can save.

It's limited to 100x80mm (roughly 4x3"), which in my experience is plenty of
space for a hobbyist. You want to keep size down in order to reduce the cost
of manufacturing anyway. (a board that size would cost $41 for a single one
from batchPCB, or $62 for three of them from laen)

Dear AMT Community, 

I hope my email finds you well and you are having a great summer. 

Here at Mozilla, we have recently launched a new initiative Web FWD (Web Forward), the community-driven innovation accelerator to support hackers, developers and entrepreneurs and boost the innovation on the open Web. 

WebFWD has two offerings to support you build innovative products on the open Web: 

1) Bootcamp : The 4-week bootcamp program is crafted for developers who are at an early stage in their product development, and willing to commit 4 weeks at Mozilla offices and get as much technical support as possible together with mentorship and connections. 

2) Fellowship : The 6-month fellowship program is for developers who are at a later stage in their product development and mainly in need of mentorship and connections. 

For more information, please read: 

...on the website: http://webfwd.org 
...on the blog post, bootcamp : http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/06/28/mozilla-launches-web-fwd/ 
...on the blog post, fellowship : http://blog.webfwd.org/post/8090972483/introducing-the-webfwd-fellow-program 
...on TechCrunch: http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/28/mozilla-launches-an-incubator-program-for-the-open-web/ 

We kindly ask you to: 

- Apply to the program , if you are working on a product that is supporting the innovation on the open Web, 

- Pass this information to other product builders that may benefit from WebFWD. 

Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Thanks and regards, 

Didem Ersoz 
Program Coordinator | Web FWD

Message-ID: <CACAQXeLyLSa6=8SQNHvy1K++VeAYkHy0SyTbAT8u=xCkDF=3Uw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,

Up until now the membership dues has been pretty manual. You guys pay
paypal, I enter it into a spreadsheet, and life goes on. But I was getting
tired of that, plus who wants to have to deal with paypal? Anyway, a new
system has been implemented that lets us accept credit cards directly, for
slightly less fees than paypal. And it's all automated as well.

If you have an automatic paypal subscription, thank you, and that will still
continue to work fine. You can switch if you want, but it's not required.
The rest of you, if at all possible, please sign up for the automatic
payments. It saves everyone a lot of work (well mostly me. I'm lazy and
don't like work).

http://acemonstertoys.org/membership

It's tied to your website account, so you'll need to log into that first. If
anyone has any questions / problems, please let me know. I tested it on
myself, charging my own CC etc, and it seemed to work, but the monkey who
coded this thing may have left some bugs, so I want to keep an eye on it at
the beginning here.

Like the speaker/media server discussion, it seems to have had a lot of chatter and then stopped pre-implementation.

I think we got to the point that stuff needed to be purchased with real
money that nobody really wanted to spend.

For the short term, the server at the space has a shared folder with no
password on it that anyone can use, with a couple hundred GB free on it.

On the topic of money? We need more members, folks. We need another five or so full rate members or ten starving hacker rate members to really be viable.

Right now, I'm the last person paying "desk" membership rates and I have done this for the last year. I'd actually like to stop doing this but have been told that if I did, with the $100 increase in our rent (to $1/sq ft) with our new lease and our insurance, we'd be negative every month. That's way too close to the line for us to be longterm viable as an organization.

We all know people that could use a shop and workspace with tool, leaving aside potential classes and workshops. Please pitch to your friends and acquaintances.

I'd also like to get the vacumn table out (as we have discussed) and reorganize the upstairs space to have multiple work areas. We have a row of three desks in the corner which don't need to be there (well, other than mine, at the moment, it seems). That space combined with the vacumn table space means we could make a much better dedicated electronics area and space for people to hack on the north end of the room separate from the central conference tables. I also still think we should arrange the couches near the lockers (and lose the shelves from downstairs there) to create a chill out area for laptops as well.

I'll have all of the Black Hat and Defcon current videos in a few weeks. I'll make them available to people. I'm considering doing a "Hacking" movie night of one talk a week to watch as a group for an hour.

I have last year's Black Hat and Defcon talks as well. I also have this year and last year's talks for Notacon and talks from the last Shmoocon.

I think we need to make a plan around getting new members.  I see a lot of areas where we could improve visiting the space and telling people what AMT can offer. 

The first thing that comes to my mind is how difficult it can be to get someone to answer the door or pick up the phone. When I first visited AMT I had to spend about 10 minutes outside  before someone buzzed me in. 

Maybe we could have a two-hour window twice a week where first time visitors could rely on someone being present to let them in and show them around.

As someone with an interest in becoming a member, I second that. I
tried to come to one of the weekly meetings you all had last fall
(September I think?), and I left after 20 minutes of looking for the
place. Maybe things have changed but I haven't been back.

Another thing: how much is a membership? Maybe I'm missing something
but I didn't find a clear answer on the website or the wiki.

I'm not sure why you weren't able to find us. Google Maps will dump you at our front door. The trick has been, for some people, dialing us from the door, which rings our Skype extension in the space. It has gone offline on occasion.

Someone not on a phone can point you towards the dues section of the website but the normal rate is $80 a month and $40 for the "starving hacker" rate meant for the unemployed or students.

Generally, you can reliably find people at our weekly meetings after 7:30 on Thursdays. Depending on the week, there are other regular events, which are listed on our website.

So about that meetup.com thing I posted to...it looks like we'll potentially
have a ton of new people checking us out on Thursday. We want to make a good
impression, so we really need to tidy things up. If anyone stops by the
space before then, please please pick up a few things here and there, take
out some trash, etc. If everyone does a little bit, it should clean up
nicely.

Bah. Limit of 4 per order, and they're only 138mah, so you'd need 20 to get
the same capacity as an 18650, and it'd be more expensive. I don't know if
many things that could use a 138mah battery :-/

They discharge at 10C, so I've always wanted to make an uber keychain LED light from them. I've got a few, plus luxeon 140 lumen rebels. In theory you could direct drive the rebel for a while, subject to heat sinking, or find a tiny driver circuit. That's where I got bogged down.  Or put on a cap/timer for the world's brightest throwie.

If my calculations are right, those would run like 10 minutes at full power
off these batteries...not exactly long lasting :P

A quick google finds 140 lumen keychain LEDs, but with a battery 10x the
size:

Message-ID: <CAHLXsrocJoWva5o83vLsNS1h6OfiT5qa4=hqUR=jw6mOSc7MAA@mail.gmail.com>

People seem to be rushing in from dinner to make 7pm (sometimes with
food still in their mouths). We're gonna try for 8pm this week.

Also, I know I said I'd do an opengl class tomorrow, but after
reviewing it, a lot of the concepts are probably too complex for an
hour of me waving my hands. Instead, I'll play computer science
roulette, and just pick a random topic out of a textbook. Maybe
something dry and boring like linked lists, or 'how a hashtable
works'.

Subject: [AMTD] Learn to design your own custom PCB
Message-ID: <CACAQXeJ=OpUJK9yO36B7FJ0WRR4dNKn_twV0THE3G9yfkaSzUg@mail.gmail.com>

I talked about doing this last week, several people were interested, but
couldn't make it, and it ended up just being a general 'fool with arduinos'
night instead of any PCB stuff. So I'm planning to give it a try again next
week. I posted it on this newfangled meatup thing, please RSVP if you'd like
to come:

http://www.meetup.com/Ace-Monster-Toys/events/28986041/

Same plan as last time, walk through using Eagle to draw a schematic, lay
out a PCB, create custom parts, and then submitting it for fabrication.
Dunno if we'll get through all the topics, if not we can continue at the
next meeting.

I got to see one at Defcon & talk to the makers. They're down in Santa cruz and were interested in coming up to give us a demo. It's incredibly cool: easy to repair, and it works as ground effect, airplane & bizarre helicopter. 

I've got the maker's card, I'll try to bring it by the space this weekend.

It was suggested this week that we should see about reviving "office hours" for people that want to hang out in the space and work. This would help with newcomers knowing that there are times when they can just come by.

David can give anyone access to the Google calendar to make events who wants it. I think putting them on the calendar would be the best approach. Maybe something like "Office Hours: Bob" or somesuch.

For those that don't know, our use of Meetup was very successful. I believe that we had 12 new visitors this last Thursday night, which is the most new people ever.

As a hacking newb, I think that's a great idea.

Office hour topics I'd attend:
arduino
woodworking
and the laser of course

"Office hours" as we talk about it are not really focused on any one topic.
It's more like just saying the space is open during such and such
predictable time periods that non-members can come and make use of it.
Several members use the space regularly during the week, I think it's a good
idea for them to commit to specific hours during the week that they will be
there, so non-members know it's open to them to visit.

I just added myself to be there starting at 6pm before my class & the weekly
meetings, since I'm generally always there beforehand.

Stefan, Costa, Mike, are your schedules regular enough that you can say in
advance what times you'll be at the space? I know you guys are there a
couple times a week usually, right? If each of you could commit to a block
of hours once a week, we'd have things pretty filled out.

Hey folks,

I'm shifting class once again to try to accommodate everyone. 7:30
seems to be a more agreeable time, so I'll see you all then.

Also, I'm trying to prepare for a future walkthrough of opengl, so I
have even less prepared to talk about tomorrow, and it'll just be a
sort of an open office hours sort of a thing. I'll be there to answer
questions, but I won't have a lecture specifically ready (as if I've
ever had one ready before).

Remember, here are the things I pretend to know about:

Game programming
Geolocation and mapping
Python
Java
Javascript
Web programming
Starcraft (Brood War, of course)
C/C++
Lisp
MySQL

So feel free to swing by and ask about any of that and I'll do my best
to fabricate an answer out of whole cloth. Failing that, we can just
play minecraft until we get bored.

Hi all,

Just a friendly reminder to sign up for the new dues payment system. If you
already signed up, or if you have a recurring paypal subscription, or made
other arrangements, great! You can ignore the rest of this message. If
not...please help us out here. We are going to submit our 501c3 application
soon, and the IRS fee is a whopping $850. We generally just barely cover our
bills as it is, so now is not the time to slack on your dues / donations.

Here's the link:

Hey there,
     Who is interested in doing a couple (or more) evenings of group
study for taking the Technician class license test?  Maybe we can get
some one from a local HAM group to help put too.  I'm probably going
to buy this book: http://books.google.com/books?id=nyEhKQEACAAJ .
This looks like the preferred study guide for the Technician class
license.  There is also http://www.radioexam.org/ which has free
practice tests that supposedly have the actual questions from the
exam.  According to the ARRL site there are a couple places nearby
giving tests in September.  I think the test cost about $15.

I've wanted to get a HAM license for some time.  Now one of my new
interests (FPV R/C planes) kinda crosses over, some of the radio
telemetry equipment technically requires licensing to operate.

Is anyone else interested in studying for this with me?

-Aaron

I am very interested in this.

I'm also going to be largely unavailable until somewhere around September 20 (1 week until I leave + 2 week vacation + 1 1/2 week mandatory presence in Mountain View after return). So, you shouldn't wait on me.

The thing to remember is that you only need 70% to pass this test, all the questions are available to you in advance, and a lot of it was covered in high school science. Oh, and you can frequently take two tries in the same day.  So it isn't hard to pass. It's frequently much harder to figure out how to use ham frequencies to legally do what you want to do in the real world. Only some of that is covered in the test. 

If you're willing to wait until mid september I can give a  class. I have a 90 minute talk on how to rules-lawyer the test, memorizing enough to pass. I used to give it to unprepared folks at breakfast, then they'd  go out & they'd pass the test at noon.   It's a bit out of date, some of the RF safety and frequency questions have changed. If folks are interested, I'll find & update it.

Hey AMT -- We just moved in above you in Suite 213.

An introduction: 

I'm Robert Cook and my officemate is Nicholas De Monchaux.  

Nicholas is a professor of architecture and urban design at UC Berkeley and is working on a variety of projects.  He most recently published this book on the Apollo Spacesuit.

I'm a software (large databases) guy now working on hardware, LED lighting in particular.  I used to make computer games for Broderbund a long, long time ago.  Also, my wife works for Make as their education director.

Come by and visit sometime.  We'll usually be here weekdays, and sometimes after hours and on weekends.

I take it that you are forward of our upstairs area and over our downstairs shop?

If you hear grinding through your floor, the answer is "Yes." :-)

We have a weekly meeting after 7:30 on Thursdays if you were interested in coming by. People will be there about that time this evening too.

Wow nice, even selling it for 20% of that and I'd be happy. Want to clean
off the junk, take a photo, and put it on craigslist? Not sure where else we
could list it for sale (not ebay, they take a 12% cut of the sale last time
I looked).

Is the 501(c)(3) application sent in yet?  As I recall, nonprofits are 
not allowed to dispose of possessions except to other nonprofits, except 
under certain circumstances, to help prevent them being used for money 
laundering.  At least it's worth a question to the lawyer handling the 
application.

501(c)(3) not complete.  But is this table even on the books as an
asset?  Or better yet... are there books?

I believe it was a donation from someone.  If we give that someone a 
receipt for tax-deductibility, as they may have been promised, then it's 
on the books.

Also, I'm not a lawyer or anything but that doesn't sound right.
Assets can't be sold off and the proceeds split up, but I'm pretty
sure that they can be sold off if the proceeds are used for operating
expenses.  Otherwise oyu couldn't donate your car to feed the needy
and shit like that... The needy can't eat cars.

Anything donated to us so far is not tax deductible. If we get our 501c3 it
will retroactively become so.

As for disposing of donated property, if it's less than $500 or if it was
donated more than 3 years ago, don't have to do anything. Otherwise a short
form needs to be filed. Source: http://www.nonprofitexpert.com/faq/q27.htm

Obviously nonprofits can sell donated items, think about orgs like Good
Will, that's their entire business model.

I believe there's a particular type of nonprofit that can do that. 
Anyway it sounds like you are on top of it; I only wanted to bring it up 
to make sure we're not gonna accidentally break a rule.

Also if I'm reading it right, we don't even have to file that form, since I
don't think we gave anyone a receipt for the table. At least I don't know of
anyone getting any donation receipts for anything except for I think

Subject: [AMTD] Notes from PCB design class
Message-ID: <CACAQXe+mq1WHzJgoayAgmWfnjg_xDwPHTVrUs6jpoQOYvM9ksQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Here is some informational material for people who came to the PCB design
class I held. I think it went well, and I hope people learned some useful
info on getting started with PCB design.

Here are the tutorials we went through (we only got through the first two).
I recommend reading through the entire things, I sort of skimmed through
them, and there is lots of important information, warnings, tips, that I
didn't mention
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/108 - schematics
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/109 - board layout
http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/110 - creating custom library parts (we
didn't get to this one)

In addition to the Sparkfun eagle part library (linked from the first
tutorial), I've collected a ton of more eagle libraries from various
sources. You can download them from my github here:
https://github.com/davr/Eagle-Libraries

Links to sources for electronic components, and at the bottom, PCB
manufacturers:
http://wiki.acemonstertoys.org/Category:Suppliers

If you're in the meetup group, but not on our official mailing list, you
might like to join. We don't really use the meetup mailing list for much.
You can sign up here:
http://lists.acemonstertoys.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss

As a reminder, we have a general meeting tonight at 7:30pm (as with
every Thursday night). Next week on Tuesday night  at 7:30pm is python
class, and Wednesday night at 7pm is a meetup on building R/C planes &
drones.

We also are accepting members to Ace Monster Toys, for $80/month ($40 for
students/unemployed/etc), you get a key & 24/7 access to our space and our
equipment. We are a non-profit, the money goes solely towards paying rent,
bills, buying new equipment, etc.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions!

Subject: [AMTD] Encryption and OpenGL
Message-ID: <CAHLXsrrm-i9vwzK4uOXhWUCFSWGdWaQ3vceSxBeNPboJAbv8Zw@mail.gmail.com>

So two things,

First, in the middle of this last week's python office hours, it
occurred to me that some people may not yet know the relatively
complex mathematics to make heads or tails of OpenGL! No, it's not me.
(Okay, well, it's not _only_ me). Anyway, I'll have to rethink this
whole thing unless you just want me to teach linear algebra and
trigonometry first. So unless I suddenly get pretty clever in the next
couple of days, next week is just another open session.

Second, I found this fancy-dancy article that explains using stick
figures how AES encryption works. It's pretty good, and gets
progressively more detailed as it goes on, so feel free to quite when
you're exactly as bored as you want to be. Extra credit to anyone who
implements basic Rijndael encryption by Tuesday!

Subject: [AMTD] Learning resources
Message-ID: <CAHLXsrrOQaq25+tKcij8-L_vGx6fpaD7Robh9zRnmNf-kC9Fzg@mail.gmail.com>

It occurs to me that there exists a pretty good resource on learning a
good many things via videos and I have not yet shared it with you all.
Well, fear not, here it is, real online education in the form of the
Khan Academy (http://www.khanacademy.org/#computer-science).

While mostly the videos are geared towards younger students learning
high school-level science and mathematics, there is a fairly decent
section on programming in Python. I've watched a number of the videos
and his style is very easy to follow. The lessons come highly
recommended from other sources as well, so you don't have to take my
word for it.

The material comprehensively covers a lot of the more computer
sciencey bits of programming, and less of the practical aspect (but
that's still important!). You'll recognize a bunch of things I might
have explained poorly in previous classes, so if you want someone
competent explaining variable binding and stack calls, this is the
place to go.

Here's a less confused version of last week's q&a session on
functions, for example:

I was heating up some food in the microwave and the breaker tripped.  It
turns out that the microwave is on the same breaker as the server rack
(WTF?).

So if you're trying to use lidless or the minecraft server, they probably
didn't come back when I reset the breaker.

Message-ID: <CACAQXeLqCDazEvKWO1hJKoUR2hgKET5zCbRUxn8ARH19HqeU0g@mail.gmail.com>

Depends on who turns up tomorrow night, most likely what will happen is I'll
give everyone the tutorial materials and let them work at their own pace,
and give individual help / hints where needed. I assume there will be a mix
of skill levels, and I don't want to force people who came last time to sit
through a repeat of the same exact topics.

An informal workshop on learning to design your own PCB (printed circuit
boards) for your electronics projects. No longer will you have to deal with
unreliable solderless breadboards or spend hours soldering millions of
connecting wires on perfboards. Draw up a circuit, send it to an inexpensive
manufacturer, and then solder down your components, and have a working
device!

I'll be going through the basics of:

* Schematic Capture -- drawing the circuit
* Board Layout -- placing the components on the board, routing the
connections (will compare manual routing, eagle autorouting, and
freerouting's autorouting)
* Creating custom parts -- often the part you want on your board isn't
already in eagle's library, you'll need to create a custom part
* Submitting designs for fabrication -- I recommend laen's PCB service

*When:* Tomorrow night, Wednesday 7-9pm

*Where:* Ace Monster Toys Global Headquarters, 6050 Lowell St #214, Oakland,
94608

*Cost:* FREE

*What to bring:* A laptop, with CADSOFT's Eagle installed (download
link<http://www.cadsoftusa.com/downloads/>).
Supports Windows, Macs, and Linux. Free version is limited to boards that
are 4"x3", but that is enough for 99% of hobbyist designs (larger PCBs start
getting expensive to produce anyway).

Monsters!

We *almost* missed the application deadline. Since no one has stepped up yet
to lead this Maker Faire, I am assuming command. I will be submitting the
application within the next few days.

I need people to staff the booth. Also, do we just want to do the same as
last time and show off the MakerBots? Maybe bring some lasered stuffs?

Let me know, ASAP!

Subject: East Bay Mini Maker Faire >> call for Makers >> extended through
9/15
To: "info at ebmakerfaire.com" <info at ebmakerfaire.com>


 Hello East Bay folks,

The second annual East Bay Mini Maker Faire <http://ebmakerfaire.com>
celebrating
Do-It-Yourself and Do-It-Together creativity is coming up *Sunday, October
16,* and the call for makers is open now, though closing very soon!  We are
looking for MAKERS ? PERFORMERS ? CRAFTERS ? COMMERCIAL MAKERS ? TALKS &
WORKSHOPS...  Anyone  who has something to share, show or say about what
they make.

Whether you are reimagining tools, playing with textiles, hacking gadgets,
generating alternative energy and transportation, making art, designing
circuits, collecting honey or canning your garden's surplus, East Bay Mini
Maker Faire is interested! Exhibits that are interactive or highlight the
process of making things are especially desired.   *

Complete** Call for Makers info (including topic areas & details about the
Faire) is here. <http://goog_1460631145/>*

In short, here's how to participate:

   - Submit your maker application NOW to get in the running: http://bit.ly/
   **ebmmf2011call4makers <http://bit.ly/ebmmf2011call4makers>

    - Tweet our blog post or share on Facebook or anyplace you think you
   should:   http://ebmakerfaire.wordpress.**com/call-for-makers/<http://ebmakerfaire.wordpress.com/call-for-makers/>

    - Visit us online at any time for updates and more info:
   ebmakerfaire.com <http://www.ebmakerfaire.com/>

Inspired by (and licensed by), Maker Faire Bay Area and MAKE and CRAFT
magazines, East Bay Mini Maker Faire is very similar in range of content and
spirit, but smaller in scale and more local to the East Bay. We have a
fantastic venue in central Oakland/Temescal, close to MacArthur BART:  the 4
acre bucolic campus of Park Day School plus the fabulous Studio One Art
Center.

Our first year was a huge success with 115 makers and almost 3000
attendees?despite the rainy weather?and we expect attendance, maker content,
and sunshine all to grow this year.

*Extended deadline for applications is September 15?though we will begin
doing rolling acceptances starting 9/1, so get your maker entry in
ASAP. * Please
write info at ebmakerfaire.com if you have any questions.

And if you know anyone else you think would be a good fit, please forward this
missive, shout it from the highest rooftops, send smoke signals, tweet, use
morse code, carrier pigeons, paper airplanes!

Definitely excited to see all the East Bay quality manifest for East Bay
Mini Maker Faire No. 2.  Hoping you'll be part of it!

Best,
Sabrina, Corey, Jen & the East Bay Mini Maker Faire team

Unfortunately I'm going to be in las vegas that weekend...why am I always
out of town during the maker faires? Anyway I hope some other people can
volunteer. It's only one day, not two, and it's much smaller than the san
mateo one, so it's easier, so I hope more people will be able to help.

Hi guys,

In case you aren't already attending, Super happy dev house 46 is
this Saturday, at the Hacker Dojo. I will be there.

http://superhappydevhouse.org/w/page/44783010/SuperHappyDevHouse46

https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=104977499607559

I thought it might be a good place to pick up potential members. Perhaps
someone should give a lightning talk about AMT.

That's my 2 bits, should be at least a month+ before I abuse the mailing
list again.

Mark

Thanks for the heads up!
