=Report, May 4th 2010=

The past month, there's been a lot of member driven improvement of the space - the networking team's continual improvement of Interlock's LAN, and Mark's acquisition of lockers are a just a couple.

We had our first Scifi Sunday, where we showed up at 9am, watched Real Genius and Wargames, and ate pancakes. Brian has a list of potential moviefilms on the Wiki. DARYL anyone?

Also, Andrei, parts-fund proprietor and resident Make guru, bought a box of lots of useful parts and 5 arduino kits using donations and his own money. Andrei will be heading home for the summer soon, we'll miss him! Thanks Andrei!

Goings on:
* Rowan will be hosting an Amateur Radio licensing class
* We'll be cohosting Rochester Lightning Talks with Coworking Rochester, scheduled for May 14th 7-9pm
* Interlock is participating in the Box of Junk challenge with other hackerspaces and organizations

=Report, April 6th 2010=

Over the past few months we've seen an incredible growth in activity, mindshare, and membership of Interlock. This success can be owed directly to our members. We also owe a large part of our success to our positive relationships with organizations like RIT's Innovation Center, LUGOR, CSH, the Python Meetup Ubuntu Loco, and others.

Over the past few months, we have:

* Hosted the Python Meetup
* Helped support, via the direct contribution of jross, BarCamp Roc. We all owe him many thanks.
* Built, tested, and installed our iButton entry system
* Procured, via donations, a large amount of valuable tools and equipment, to include networking equipment and electronics tools and parts
* Hosted a series of successful weekly and monthly events, including Make/Programming night, 2600/1300 security meetings, and Linux Workshop.
* Haggled with Frontier, installed, configured, and did whatever it took to get us decent Internets in the space. This was no small feat, but thanks to the hard work of a few we now have an awesome network setup.
* Held two Lightning Talk events, both of which were a blast
* Represented ourselves strongly at BarCamp, putting faces and mindset to our name. BarCamp was terrific.
* Kept our doors open on First Fridays, and made many acquaintances, friends, and allies in our building
* Learned to solder
* Consumed possibly hundreds of Genny Bocks

The outlook for Interlock is very, very bright. As we work now to further equip our space, and begin work on more involved personal and group projects, it will be important for us to keep in mind we are a part of a larger and exciting community. It is this community, and how we fit in it, that brings us not only membership but also makes us a real Not for Profit.

We're bettering Rochester one workshop, meeting, soldering iron, and mate at a time. So let's continue being excellent eachother, do what we do, and enjoy ourselves. We've created something amazing, and this is only the very beginning.

We also owe a large part of our success to our positive relationships with organizations like RIT's Innovation Center, LUGOR, CSH, the Python Meetup Ubuntu Loco, and others.

Over the past few months, we have:

* Hosted the Python Meetup
* Helped support, via the direct contribution of jross, BarCamp Roc. We all owe him many thanks.
* Built, tested, and installed our iButton entry system
* Procured, via donations, a large amount of valuable tools and equipment, to include networking equipment and electronics tools and parts
* Hosted a series of successful weekly and monthly events, including Make/Programming night, 2600/1300 security meetings, and Linux Workshop.
* Haggled with Frontier, installed, configured, and did whatever it took to get us decent Internets in the space. This was no small feat, but thanks to the hard work of a few we now have an awesome network setup.
* Held two Lightning Talk events, both of which were a blast
* Represented ourselves strongly at BarCamp, putting faces and mindset to our name. BarCamp was terrific.
* Kept our doors open on First Fridays, and made many acquaintances, friends, and allies in our building
* Learned to solder
* Consumed possibly hundreds of Genny Bocks

The outlook for Interlock is very, very bright. As we work now to further equip our space, and begin work on more involved personal and group projects, it will be important for us to keep in mind we are a part of a larger and exciting community. It is this community, and how we fit in it, that brings us not only membership but also makes us a real Not for Profit.

We're bettering Rochester one workshop, meeting, soldering iron, and mate at a time. So let's continue being excellent eachother, do what we do, and enjoy ourselves. We've created something amazing, and this is only the very beginning.

Phatball

2010-03-23T02:26:49Z

Wooby:

Phatball is a giant trackball that wooby is building out of a bowling ball. A pressure sensor mounted sandwiched in thin rubber and hooked to an arduino / mouse click button that would let you "click" the ball with sufficient pressure.

[[File:Phatball.jpg]]

Potential uses: ultimate Katamari Damacy input device, virtual globe/google earth. I'm looking at the Penumbra OpenGL library for Clojure to make a basic Katamari clone

Basic plan: piece of plywood, with three evenly-spaced ball-bearing casters mounted at 45 degrees on wooden ramps that hold the ball. Optical mouse sensor mounted in middle.

Status: I've ordered the casters on 3/20, planning on getting 0.1 together by the end of March

The idea here is some kind of full day team event involving the consumption of garbage plates from area restaurants. Registration would be open to individuals, businesses, fraternities, and other organizations.

The rules should be complicated enough to allow for different kinds of scoring and achievement.

Talk:Security Cameras

2010-01-26T16:51:51Z

Wooby:

"audit happenings at the space?" no other hackerspace does this. In my opinion it's Orwellian and creepy. It leads members to believe that ours is a culture of distrust and fear, and is a wholly, WHOLLY unhealthy thing for us to implement. It brings up questions of data storage and access, all things which the legal counsel for other hackerspaces has consistently advised to avoid. -wooby

We should make one! I might be able to get my hands on an overhead projector with a newish bulb. Lacking:

* either a laptop screen with a working controller and VGA, or,
* working 13-15" lcd monitor
** If someone has a 15.4 inch laptop LCD that does 1920x1200, this would let us have HD, but still fit on a standard overhead projector bed

We can probably put this together for $50-$100. Drop notes if you'd like to participate! [[User:wooby]]

Website

2009-11-16T01:10:52Z

Wooby:

We'll need a website that will serve as a PR hub, and we can also have cool member features, like web space and shells. Here are some initial thoughts:

* Calendar
* Member profiles, skills/interests
* Ongoing projects
* Message board, mailing list archives
* Photo gallery (or link to flickr group)
* Twitter (retweets member tweets, #roc-hack hashtags etc.
* Link to youtube, embedded youtubes
* Member blogs
* Anything else?

Meetup, as good of a recruitment tool as it is, costs a fair amount of money to maintain, and isn't very featureful.

I'm a bit of a web nut but I suck at design, so I'd love to work with someone on getting this going who knows anything about design. (wooby)

I'd like to work on the server setup if we are going to self-host it (once we get a space). I also wouldn't mind working a bit on the site itself. --[[User:Ben Woodruff|-- BW]] 18:23, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== Wed Idea ==

I had a concept i had for the Rochester Hackerspace that I would like to share.

*It would be good to have a website that is project based, that encourages collaboration
*The idea is each member will have a project page dedicated to them.
**If you click on a members name you would be able to see all projects that the person has lead, all projects that the person had collaborated on and also projects that the person wants to do but simply doesn't have time for.
**People looking at the site could browse/search by project.
***Each project should give you basic info about how the progress made on the project, the person who is leading the project as well as people collaborating on the project.
***People should be able to find projects that are still in the idea phase, and if the idea inspires them then they should be able to work on it.
**Each project should have a message board where members can share ideas and give input on each project. This would help keep all Hackers aware of all projects in progress.

== Possible Web Frameworks ==
* [http://elgg.org/ Elgg]
* [http://crabgrass.riseup.net/ Crabgrass]
* [http://www.bevolunteer.org/trac BW-Rox]
* [http://www.mindtouch.com/ MindTouch]
* [http://drupal.org/ Drupal]
* [http://www.joomla.org/ Joomla]
* [http://rubyonrails.org/ Ruby on Rails]
** I'm a RoR fan; it has plugins to do just about all of what we need (file storage on S3 w/ Paperclip, authentication with decl_auth or restful_auth -wooby)
* [http://liftweb.net/ Lift]

We can probably also just look at pairing together various systems, with a custom frontend, so we have something that works well for us specifically
