== Agenda Items ==

==== new members ====

'''Chris A.''' - runs Figure53, comes during the day, plans to co-work. Let the
record show Mark Huson voted no.

'''Tim B.''' - active volunteer in the Baltimore arts scene, wants to do awesome
stuff for the Node. Our first "Trust Member"! Rock.

'''TRUST MEMBERS''' - Node will support dueless members to the amount of 10% of
total membership. Trust Membership will be renewed every three months but can be
converted to normal membership at any time. Trust members will be expected to be
awesome. If it's not working out, ya just won't get renewed.

==== Other Stuff ====

'''keys''' - how to get keys back from non-paying members? If you haven't paid
dues, you get warned. If it's been more than three months, you have to give your
key back. Once auto-subscription is available, we'll be tougher on non-payment.

'''pre-annual meeting''' - we should get our bylaw changes ready.

'''meet your neighbors''' - say hello to your neighbors so that if you see
someone in the building who

'''the new space''' - some changes, whatever. Will need to decide if we want
shop space. Organization isn't clear right now, but it will take time and money.
Will probably be an after New Year's project. The more clean and organized the
space, the better.

'''the member shelf''' - we should take that stuff off and reorganize. Members
need to be contacted.

'''awesome grant''' - a chapter of the awesome foundation is starting up in
Baltimore. We probably won't be able to contribute money, but we'll probably be
able to contribute space and time. Members should also be aware of this
opportunity, and, like, go for it if they wanna.

'''events'''

* letter embossing at Baltimore print studios
* NYE - if it's cash flow negative it's on Matt.
* technoswap festival
* Betascape

'''review of strategic goals'''

'''hackathon debrief (not done)'''

'''finances''' - we're doing just okay. we're right at the edge, but not losing money as long as everyone pays on time. We're currently exploring WePay for subscriptions.

== Hackers in space ==

Launch a weather balloon, plus camera, retrieve it, profit! Full article: [[Hackers in space]]

== Low Res film festival on the Roof==

Visit project page [[Low Res Screen Project @ Load of Fun]]

This idea is inspired by the Graffiti Research Lab's project [http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=72#video Drive-In GIF Theater]. Basically you have people submit animated gifs and then create a giant led display to show them on. I think this might work really well for the [[Grants#Kresge Arts in Baltimore|Kresge Grant]]. Create a giant display for the roof and then ask for open submissions.

To make the project more accessible to everyone we could create a portable system for creating the animations that could be lent out to schools or others. I am thinking a digital camera on a stand with some lights, perhaps a computer, but it wouldn't be necessary. The system would convert the images to animated gifs that could be displayed on the screen.

You could also make the system web accessible. This would open up the possibility for playing simple games on the display a la [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8851774172783947549 Blinkenlights]

== Arduino Keg Meter/Barbot ==
Basically a way to measure how much beer has left a keg and the ability to log who drank how much beer. Similar project: http://kegbot.org/wiki/Main_Page
We could place the keg on a scale and measure how much less a keg weighs after a user has finished pouring, place the glass on a scale zero out the reading and then measure how much the glass weighs afterwards, or find a food safe flow meter to measure how much beer passed through the hose. I would like to use RFID to recognize each user and log the results to a webpage or a projector display of the current standings. This would be a great way to run a fund raiser and once the initial hardware was built super cheap to order extra RFID tags. I have all the supplies needed to build a kegerator except for a fridge to cool it. [[User:Mehuman|Mehuman]] 19:03, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

== Giant LED VU Meter ==
This i see as something we can assemble and sell to local clubs and maybe use for our own parties. I'm thinking large scale and go from green to yellow to red so there would be no need for RGB LEDs just wire a line of 4-5 leds and have that row display when the music reaches a certain volume.

Here is a link using a piezo to measure the volume of the music: http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/sound_meter/

The LEDs would be fairly cheap. Using this image as a template: http://www.enote.si/studio/images/vumeter.gif. If we say on average $.6 per LED, which looks a bit high but bear with me. 8 rows of 5 green + 3 rows of 5 yellow + 3 rows of 5 red = 70 LEDs * $.6 = $42 per VU Meter + cost of microcontroller ~$30. So a set of working VU Meters to put in a club would cost us ~$114 and if sold for $200-$300 we could make a nice profit while still learning and teaching.

== AM Radio Transmitter ==
You don't need any sort of licensing to broadcast on AM frequencies if your transmitter is 100 milliwatts or less. A transmitter with a basic wire antenna can get 50 to 200 feet of range, however a more substantial outdoor antenna can transmit as far as two miles. I would be interested in setting up an internet radio station and then using multiple transmitters to broadcast that station over AM around Baltimore. The transmitter stations would require enough computing resources to connect to the internet in some way, decode an internet radio stream, and output an audio signal to the AM transmitter. The transmitters themselves can be purchased for about $75-100 dollars, but it's possible we could construct a transmitter from plans for much cheaper. Five to ten well placed transmitters could cover a significant amount Baltimore city.

== Backyard Fish Farming ==
<blockquote>''Now, a growing group of urban agriculture enthusiasts are translating the practice of land-based fish farming to a very local level. Their system of choice is called aquaponics -- a symbiotic setup in which plants and fish are raised simultaneously in recirculating water. The two "crops" are complementary: fish waste fertilizes the plants, which naturally filter the water so that it stays clean even when many fish are raised in close quarters (one might even call it a form of heavily engineered polyculture).''</blockquote>

Sounds like more fun than urban chicken farming. What's the minimal sustainable size needed for a project like this?

== Fab Lab ==

Build our own MIT-style Fab Lab. From the FAQ:

''Fab labs have spread from inner-city Boston to rural India, from South Africa to the North of Norway. Activities in fab labs range from technological empowerment to peer-to-peer project-based technical training to local problem-solving to small-scale high-tech business incubation to grass-roots research. Projects being developed and produced in fab labs include solar and wind-powered turbines, thin-client computers and wireless data networks, analytical instrumentation for agriculture and healthcare, custom housing, and rapid-prototyping of rapid-prototyping machines.''

''Fab labs share core capabilities, so that people and projects can be shared across them. This currently includes:''

* ''A computer-controlled lasercutter, for press-fit assembly of 3D structures from 2D parts''
* ''A larger (4'x8') numerically-controlled milling machine, for making furniture- (and house-) sized parts''
* ''A signcutter, to produce printing masks, flexible circuits, and antennas''
* ''A precision (micron resolution) milling machine to make three-dimensional molds and surface-mount circuit boards''
* ''Programming tools for low-cost high-speed embedded processors''

This would be a large scale effort, featuring lots of fundraising (50 to 60 thousand dollars) and more space hunting, but would satisfy a lot of folks' initial visions for B'node.

== Low Res film festival on the Roof==

Visit project page [[Low Res Screen Project @ Load of Fun]]

This idea is inspired by the Graffiti Research Lab's project [http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=72#video Drive-In GIF Theater]. Basically you have people submit animated gifs and then create a giant led display to show them on. I think this might work really well for the [[Grants#Kresge Arts in Baltimore|Kresge Grant]]. Create a giant display for the roof and then ask for open submissions.

To make the project more accessible to everyone we could create a portable system for creating the animations that could be lent out to schools or others. I am thinking a digital camera on a stand with some lights, perhaps a computer, but it wouldn't be necessary. The system would convert the images to animated gifs that could be displayed on the screen.

You could also make the system web accessible. This would open up the possibility for playing simple games on the display a la [http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8851774172783947549 Blinkenlights]

== Arduino Keg Meter/Barbot ==
Basically a way to measure how much beer has left a keg and the ability to log who drank how much beer. Similar project: http://kegbot.org/wiki/Main_Page
We could place the keg on a scale and measure how much less a keg weighs after a user has finished pouring, place the glass on a scale zero out the reading and then measure how much the glass weighs afterwards, or find a food safe flow meter to measure how much beer passed through the hose. I would like to use RFID to recognize each user and log the results to a webpage or a projector display of the current standings. This would be a great way to run a fund raiser and once the initial hardware was built super cheap to order extra RFID tags.

== Giant LED VU Meter ==
This i see as something we can assemble and sell to local clubs and maybe use for our own parties. I'm thinking large scale and go from green to yellow to red so there would be no need for RGB LEDs just wire a line of 4-5 leds and have that row display when the music reaches a certain volume.

Here is a link using a piezo to measure the volume of the music: http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/sound_meter/

The LEDs would be fairly cheap. Using this image as a template: http://www.enote.si/studio/images/vumeter.gif. If we say on average $.6 per LED, which looks a bit high but bear with me. 8 rows of 5 green + 3 rows of 5 yellow + 3 rows of 5 red = 70 LEDs * $.6 = $42 per VU Meter + cost of microcontroller ~$30. So a set of working VU Meters to put in a club would cost us ~$114 and if sold for $200-$300 we could make a nice profit while still learning and teaching.

* At the Robotfest, Jon and I talked to a guy from HacDC who does apartment aquaponics. I forget his name but we should try to track him down. I really want to try this. [[User:Sylviachi|Sylviachi]] 02:54, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

== Construction Assistance ==

If we have light shop tools and experienced folks on hand we might be able to offer open shop hours for drop-in fee based tool use. Similar to [http://www.bethsdiyworkshop.com/ Beth's DIY Workshop], we're not going to do it for you (this isn't a cheap form of appliance repair), but we can help you do it.

== Fab Lab ==

Build our own MIT-style Fab Lab. From the FAQ:

''Fab labs have spread from inner-city Boston to rural India, from South Africa to the North of Norway. Activities in fab labs range from technological empowerment to peer-to-peer project-based technical training to local problem-solving to small-scale high-tech business incubation to grass-roots research. Projects being developed and produced in fab labs include solar and wind-powered turbines, thin-client computers and wireless data networks, analytical instrumentation for agriculture and healthcare, custom housing, and rapid-prototyping of rapid-prototyping machines.''

''Fab labs share core capabilities, so that people and projects can be shared across them. This currently includes:''

* ''A computer-controlled lasercutter, for press-fit assembly of 3D structures from 2D parts''
* ''A larger (4'x8') numerically-controlled milling machine, for making furniture- (and house-) sized parts''
* ''A signcutter, to produce printing masks, flexible circuits, and antennas''
* ''A precision (micron resolution) milling machine to make three-dimensional molds and surface-mount circuit boards''
* ''Programming tools for low-cost high-speed embedded processors''

This would be a large scale effort, featuring lots of fundraising (50 to 60 thousand dollars) and more space hunting, but would satisfy a lot of folks' initial visions for B'node.

== Lantern Parade ==

Working with NANA projects create some designs for LED/EL wire lanterns of varying complexity and costs to use in NANA Projects Lantern Parade.

Lanterns can include electro mechanical connections to cause blinking up to arduino controlled POV displays.

== Turbo Encabulator ==

Simply described: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY5WjIvyEXo

I propose fabrication in multiple phases. I can work on phase three, the "red" phase.

[[User:Abachman|Abachman]] 17:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I can supply the panametric fam. --[[User:Antilog|Erich Steiger]] 13:47, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== Mame Cabinet ==
We have tons of extra LCD screens and computers to power it. We would just have to purchase wood and controls. [[User:Mehuman|Mehuman]]

=== Materials Needed ===

* computer (I have one that would work)
* Dell Monitor on the top of the members storage (is it ok if we use this?)
* i-pac4 http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html $65
* 6x white buttons 4x red, green blue and 2x black buttons http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/categories.php?c=145 $40
* Arcade cab baltimore.craigslist.org $40-$70
* MDF to convert the cab $30

Total cost approx $200

=== Software needed ===

Windows
MAME
MALA (or some sort of front-end launcher)

=== State of project ===

Matt is working of getting MAME running on an old computer of his and is in talks with someone who could provide an empty arcade box.

== RFID Door ==
A way of entering and leaving the space with out having to buy a $15 key. Invisible to the outside. To start all codes would be hardcoded into the Arduino but as we get more sophisticated codes could be accessed from a database that the kegerator would also have access too. I have code from a guy named Arclight that has the majority everything written out. [[User:Mehuman|Mehuman]]

=== Parts ===
* Arduino
* RFID Reader - I have a Parallax one to donate [[User:Mehuman|Mehuman]]
* RFID Tags or Fobs
* Electric Strike to open door.[http://cgi.ebay.com/ELECTRIC-STRIKE-LOCK-FAIL-SECURE_W0QQitemZ400047589508QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d24b1c884 $25 on eBay]

== Automate the Entire Space ==
I bought a ton of x10 stuff of a guy for really cheap and think it would be a great idea to set it all up a the space. I have 5 cameras, 1 with pan and tilt. 2 rca to usb devices, 1 works with linux the other i have yet to test. I have 2 computer control devices, Firecracker CM17A and Activehome CM15A both work with linux. a motion sensor that will turn on and off the lights with movement. This all can be controlled by Mister Home. [[User:Mehuman|Mehuman]]

== CupCake CNC ==
I want to start with the Makerbot CupCake CNC rapid prototyper. I would like to then hack it to be a CNC machine and a laser cutter. I wold buy basic kit, Node would supply $250 and extra parts needed.

== VINYLMORE ==

Create an interactive Munny doll in a Baltimore theme for [http://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarfreak/sets/72157604023414327/ VINYLMORE].

== Implement Pachube Feed, Node to Web ==

Targetting [http://www.pachube.com/ Pachube], design a series of data collection devices to monitor the status of the space in real time.
