<div>__NOTOC__<br />
=Welcome to HacktionLab=<br />
<br />
HacktionLab is a UK-European DIY collective of technologists, activists, social agitators, and generally interested people that helps create regular convergence spaces for collaboration and the exchange of ideas and experiences.<br />
<br />
HacktionLab has been in existence since 2008 and has helped organise some twenty gatherings in multiple locations across the UK.<br />
<br />
=How does HacktionLab do this?=<br />
<br />
We are a volunteer and loosely-knit group of people based primarily in the UK but also in continental Europe and Ireland that gather to share the projects the individual members are involved in. We will bring our experience and our own content to where you are and support you in hosting a HacktionLab Gathering.<br />
<br />
=What is a HacktionLab Gathering?=<br />
<br />
A HacktionLab Gathering is a combination of a ''hacklab'' and an ''unconference'' (aka ''barcamp''), where all attendees are part of the crew and are responsible for making it happen. <br />
<br />
What does this mean? Here's some key features:<br />
<br />
* It is a ''hacklab'': in that making the event happen, setting up, packing down, deciding the agenda, helping with food, facilitation, and entertainment are all part of the event. Thus there is little to no clearly defined line between organiser, speaker, and attendee.<br />
* It is an ''unconference'': we gather workshop and talk proposals before the event, but then work out the schedule during the event itself in an organic way, juggling parallel sessions so that people are able to go to what they want.<br />
* It is low-cost: We try to keep the cost as low as possible (the last gathering was £20). No-one who is directly involved gets paid, but we do cover expenses (such as food prep), space hire, and contributions to any other facilities we need to use during the event.<br />
<br />
=What kind of content can I expect?=<br />
<br />
Examples of common topics for HacktionLab Gathering are: alternative media, renewable energy, on-line video distribution, free software, information society and the impact of emergent technology, computing and logic, alternative technology, philosophy and political thought, alternatives to corporate social media platforms, any form of activism that utilises technology, and anything else where we can get together and plan how to better harness the technology (or not) to support grass roots social movements.<br />
<br />
Technology is any human technology, so from storm-kettles and knot-work to large language models; slingshots to peer-to-peer networks, they are all game.<br />
<br />
=Where and when was the last HacktionLab Gathering?=<br />
<br />
The last HacktionLab Gathering was held in Sheffield in June 2023. See [[HacktionLab Summer 2023]] for more information.<br />
<br />
=Where and when is the next HacktionLab Gathering?=<br />
<br />
This is to be decided. There are proposals for gatherings in for Bradford, and maybe Bristol or Bath. If you're interested in hosting one, read [[HOWTO Host A HacktionLab Gathering]].<br />
<br />
=I'd like to host a HacktionLab Gathering. How do I do that?=<br />
<br />
Read through [[HOWTO Host A HacktionLab Gathering]], and then get in touch via the mailing list.<br />
<br />
=How do I get involved in HacktionLab?=<br />
<br />
We don't have a formal organisation and there is therefore no form of actual membership. The best place to start getting involved is to either propose to host a HacktionLab Gathering, or join our [[Mailing List]].</div>Ciderpunxhttps://hacktionlab.org/index.php?title=Workshops_for_HacktionLab_Summer_2023&diff=6105Workshops for HacktionLab Summer 20232023-04-24T11:07:15Z<p>Ciderpunx: /* Other */</p>

The following is a list of ideas for workshops, talks or other activities for the forthcoming [[HacktionLab Summer 2023]] taking place in June in Sheffield, UK. The *Nerd gag* measures how technical and jargony the session might be, from "on tight" being accessible to all, to "ungagged" being no-holes-barred tech talk. In the middle there's "breathing room" and "rather loose".<br />
<br />

==Title of workshop?==<br />
;Format: talk / workshop (interactive) / skills share / round table / lighting talk<br />
;Proposed by: Your name<br />
;Length: 30-60 minutes, 5-15 for a lighting talk<br />
;Equipment: projector, speakers, paper, pens, posits, chairs, etc<br />
;Description: a description of the workshop<br />
;Nerd gag: How much technical background will people need to be able to follow the session? Nerd gag measures how technical and jargony the session might be, from "on tight" being accessible to all, to "ungagged" being no-holes-barred tech talk.

<br />
=Reflective & Philosophical=<br />
<br />
==Objectivism for Lefties: the philosophy of Ayn Rand==<br />
<br />
;Format: talk<br />
;Proposed by: Mike<br />
;Length: 30-40 mins plus discussion<br />
;Equipment: projector, maybe speakers<br />
;Description: The Russian-American author Ayn Rand was a controversial character in her lifetime and still is today. She’s often considered an apologist for selfishness and capitalist values by her detractors and is very much not a natural bed-fellow of the left. But by conservatives she is also considered a liberal who deplores the concept of statism and champions individual freedom and consent; values familiar to many on the left. In this talk I will take a look at who she was, her novels and other writings, her influence upon the Silicon Valley entrepreneur, then attempt to take a nuanced look at her World-view, and open the discussion as to whether there's something useful that can be learned from them.<br />
;Nerd gag: on tight<br />
<br />
<br />
==Creating tech projects driven by communities==<br />
<br />
;Format: discussion<br />
;Proposed by: Mick<br />
;Length: 30 or 60 mins<br />
;Equipment: projector <br />
;Description: How did you get started coding useful projects? How much of the process was purely tech, and how much was driven by being part of a community? For example, if you got started by coding a game, were you thinking of the audience? If you started by making websites, were they needed by a real community? <br />
<br />
This talk proposes that it is hard to learn the skills needed to create useful tech projects in a vacuum. It invites a discussion to find out what were the community processes and needs that help motivate and support new coders and designers to overcome challenges. Also, if you wanted to replicate that to teach the next generation how could that happen. <br />
<br />
Let's share examples and experiences. Also, let's try to quickly map what is already out there and how well it approaches learning in this way. <br />
<br />
;Nerd gag: on, so should accessible to all<br />
<br />
<br />
=Emergent Technologies=<br />
<br />
==Ecotech==<br />
;Format: talk / workshop (interactive)? / skills share / round table <br />
;Proposed by: thebrentc<br />
;Length: 45 minutes<br />
;Equipment: <br />
;Description: Environmental issues around computing and digital technologies, probably with a web technologies focus. <br />
TBC: Background, Practice (e.g. green hosting, assessment, software and system design approaches), possibly a case study<br />
;Nerd gag: on tight/breathing room - practice might become loose but hopefully we can moderate this<br />
<br />
==FLOSS Alexa?==<br />
;Format: round table <br />
;Proposed by: Jonathan<br />
;Length: 45 minutes<br />
;Equipment: <br />
;Description: What Free/Libre software/hardware are you still waiting for? A tech/non-tech discussion. Example: I'm still waiting for a desktop Operating System that I can interact with by talking, keyboard-free, like Alexa ... open source AI... Fully automated luxury communism ...<br />
;Nerd gag: breathing room - a discussion for all(/time)<br />
<br />
== Crypto ==<br />
; Format: Discussion<br />
; Proposed by : Micah<br />
; Description: The rise and fall (and subsequent bigger rise and bigger fall) of cryptocurrencies and is Proof of Work worth saving and harnessing for an overlooked aspect of internet privacy for all, with NYMTech. https://nymtech.net/<br />
<br />
= Privacy =<br />
== Online Safety Bill ==<br />
; Proposed by : Micah<br />
; Format: Discussion<br />
; Description: A discussion on the ensuring both privacy and child protection prompted by the passage of the [https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/online-harms-white-paper Online Safety Bill] through parliament at the moment which we will see by June. See: https://www.openrightsgroup.org/<br />
<br />
I myself wish to strengthen privacy and protections for children empowering parents with useable tools to help them protect their children online. Much of justification given for problematic powers in the <br />
Online Safety Bill misses where issues are really and will be counter productive to actually solving problems they purport to solve.<br />
<br />
Also worth discussion is how the network effect of domination tech corporate tech lock-in is strong with families, including mine, and plenty to debate there. How to wean ourselves away from corporate lockin while engaging with those around us?<br />
<br />
== Cloudflare ==<br />
; Proposed by : Micah<br />
; Format: Discussion<br />
; Description: Also of practical use for both privacy & filtering is the offering from Cloudflare https://one.one.one.one/family/. But I would be interested to hear others views on Cloudflare and similar in their role protecting websites but then positive development of them under successful pressure withdrawing protection from 8Chan as facilitator of far right terrorism, which is ongoing saga I had lost track of and only just looking up where this has gone on writing this. <br />

==The maths behind Mandelbrot and Julia==<br />
<br />
;Format: talk<br />
;Proposed by: Mike<br />
;Length: 45 mins<br />
;Equipment: projector<br />
;Description: A revamp of a talk on the Mandelbrot and Julia sets that I first gave at BarnCamp in 2011 and updated for the Wizard Amigos Code Camp at the Astral Ship in Autumn 2022. In the talk I take a look at the maths behind the beautiful Mandelbrot and Julia set images that appeared in the late 1980s and have continued in every increasing sophistication and resolution since. I’ll attempt to explain imaginary and complex numbers, iterative algorithms, pixel plotting strategies, with a live demo you can run in your own web browser, and code you can fork and develop yourself. Bring your laptop and explore with us.<br />
;Nerd gag: ungagged<br />
<br />
==Basic category theory [Work in progress]==<br />
<br />
;Format: talk<br />
;Proposed by: Charlie<br />
;Length: 45 mins?<br />
;Equipment: projector, flipchart<br />
;Description: Category theory is an abstract way of looking at the relationships between mathematical structures. It has ended up becoming a sort of lingua franca in maths and has been used in some areas of computer science (especially in functional programming). This would be a basic overview of some of the fundamental components: categories, functors, duality, products and co-products maybe. I'll come up with some code examples, but you wouldn't need to be either a programmer or a mathematician to follow the talk. It'll mostly be dots and arrows.<br />
;Nerd gag: I think it'd be possible without.<br />

I'll come up with some code examples, but you wouldn't need to be either a programmer or a mathematician to follow the talk. It'll mostly be dots and arrows.<br />

You will learn how to make generic fictional entries into wiki pages, demostrating the format of the page expected, together with some humour. You will also use bullet points to:<br />
<br />
* show how bullet points are used in Mediawiki<br />
* add some much needed recursive self reference<br />
* make friends<br />
<br />
You'll then finish off your description with how exciting workshop will be, or with an uncomfortable orphan sentence type paragraph.<br />
<br />
This is the end of the example.<br />

==How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legacy Code==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: adelayde<br />
;Time:45 minutes<br />
;Level: experience of programming at a intermediate to advanced level - nerd gag warning!!<br />
;Resources: projector, laptop (have one)<br />
;Number: any<br />
<br />
Legacy Code. I never wrote it; everybody else did! How many times have you waded through an ageing, decaying, tangled forrest of code and wished it would just die? How many times have you heard someone say that what really needs to happen is a complete rewrite? I have heard this many times, and, have uttered that fatal sentence myself. But shouldn’t we love our legacy code? Doesn’t it represent our investment and the hard work of ourselves and our predecessors? <br />
<br />
Throwing it away is dangerous, because, before we do, we’ll need to work out exactly what it does, and we’ll need to tweeze out that critical business logic nestled in a deeply entangled knot of IF statements. It could take us years to do, and we’ll have to maintain two systems whilst we do it, inevitably adding new features to them both. Yes we get to reimplement using the latest, coolest programming language, instead of an old behemoth, but how long will our new cool language be around, and who will maintain that code, when it itself inevitably turns to legacy?<br />
<br />
We can throw our arms in the air, complaining and grumbling about how we didn’t write the code, how we would never have written it the way it is, how those that wrote it were lesser programmers, possibly lesser humans themselves, but the code still remains, staring us in the face and hanging around for longer that we could possibly imagine. We can sort it out, we can improve it, we can make it testable, and we can learn to love our legacy code.<br />
<br />
==Markov Chains & Trump Bots Workshop – the art of getting computers to regurgitate words.==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Craig<br />
;Time:45-60 minutes<br />
;Level: Some basic/intermediate coding to start. <br />
;Resources: Laptop, any software you may think would help. (Python/Dart/Perl/R ?)<br />
;Number: any<br />
<br />
Markov Chains (stochastic processes, where in a chain of linked events each event is only dependent on the preceding state of the system) have been used in various applications, including in the use of text generators/'bots'. <br />
<br />
As language can be viewed as a state space of all words with a probabilitiy of transitioning between words dependent on context, previous words etc…, then a Markov process can be used to approximate communication. <br />
<br />
I propose a little woorkshop to share ideas and tips, then hopefully at least start a workable bot. Some good examples:<br />

Theories can be logically consistent, show results and have a good predictive validity, but still be completely wrong. It's so easy to get science wrong. What does this mean for science? More importantly, what does this mean for System Administration?<br />
<br />
We'll go into reading log files, googling for result, and look at black box theorisations and how to deal with them.<br />

;Level: No experience of gimp necessary.<br />
;Resources: Projector, fast laptop.<br />
;Number: any number of people<br />
<br />
GIMP has come a long way since 2.8, but hardly anyone has seem the results. The hugely long development cycle leaves us punters mostly in the dark. This talk seeks to inspire GIMP users, and potential GIMP users about what's happened, why, and the implications artists, developers, and for the nature of the universe.<br />

== (Still) re-using computers in our communities ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: MaRk<br />
;Time: 1 - 2 hours depending on number of people<br />
;Level: Some experience of keeping old computers in use<br />
;Resources: Nothing special<br />
;Number: up to 20<br />
<br />
At the last BarnCamp, we had a [[Notes2015#Re-using_computers_in_our_communities|discussion]] about personal computer re-use, and how this could be linked to community education and different kinds of organisation/business. Many BarnCampers are involved with these kind of activities. Let's catch up with how we've been developing our re-use practices (e.g. lessons learned from setting up http://re-pute.it/), take stock of current challenges and resources available, and talk about how we can support each other as a network of practitioners.<br />
<br />
=Social and Political Activism=<br />
==Anarchy in the GR==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: naomi<br />
;Time, Numbers: as it comes<br />
;Resources: available from the bar<br />
<br />
Talk & discussion about the anarchist movement in Athens, the refugee housing projects, the tech work I've been trying to do there and why I've almost entirely failed to do anything (so far).<br />
<br />
<br />
==How we built the world's (second?) largest media co-operative==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: charlie<br />
;Time, numbers: An hour or so, as many as you like<br />
;Resources: projector, screen<br />
<br />
New Internationalist, where I work, recently ran a community share offer. We became a multi-stakeholder co-op with over 3,400 co-owners -- we think we are now the second largest media co-op in the world. Along the way we learned a lot about how to run a crowdfunding campaign, how to balance worker autonomy and transparency in a co-op and just how many people believe that a better media ownership model is possible. What we learned will be useful for other progressive media, citizen journalist and perhaps movement projects more generally.<br />
<br />
Slides: coming soon!<br />
<br />
=Practical activities=<br />
== activism ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: xyz<br />
;Time: .5 - 2 hours<br />
;Level: No experience needed<br />
;Resources: a modicum of enthusiasm<br />
;Number: up to 20<br />
<br />
how to make a difference. Discussions on applying tech skills to aiding activism. How to get involved. How to explore and expand interests. Current topics of interest. Where are efforts best aimed?<br />
<br />
==12/240 volt electrics for a campervan refit==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Adelayde<br />
;Time: 1 hour<br />
;Level: No previous experience, but if you know some DC electric stuff, it'd help me!<br />
;Resources: Project for inside bit (possibly), but otherwise outside at van<br />
;Number: As many as can practically see<br />
<br />
I've recently done up my third van for use as a camper. I've installed a secondary battery supply to provide both 12volt DC and 240volt AC supplies. Thought I'd show folks around how it fits together and what kit you need. Will try to cover:<br />
<br />
* batteries one can use<br />
* cables and connectors<br />
* split charge relays<br />
* fuses <br />
* 12 volt lighting <br />
* 240 volt cabling and inverters<br />
* RCD protection of 240volt circuits<br />
* Earthing<br />
* Some basic theory if there's time<br />
<br />
The workshop should be pretty exciting. We can look at some theory, before or after, having a look at the van wiring and discussing how I did it, and how you could do it.<br />
<br />
==Cool Running==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: MaRk<br />
;Time: 1-2 hours<br />
;Level: none - could be inclusive of kids with supervision<br />
;Resources: laptops of varying ages (participants to bring their own)<br />
;Number: up to 5 people at once, but can drift in & out - informal<br />
<br />
This activity uses a plug-in 240V power meter to measure power consumption of laptops, from which the battery has been removed. Each user is asked to get their lappy to run some standard tasks (e.g. play a video, or more formal benchmarks), and its power consumption is measured. Participants can then compare how energy-hungry their machine is compared to others, and how much energy they can save by changing how they use the machine. I've done this at village fairs etc. and it gets people talking and thinking about tech and energy.<br />
<br />
The activity can be adjusted according to the experience of attendees...<br />
* we can go on to look at BIOS tweaks<br />
* sysctl / powertop adjustments<br />
* simple measures like reducing backlight levels<br />
* simple maths to convert energy use into CO2 emissions / what you Earthlings call 'Money'<br />
* demonstrates an experimental paradigm to people who might not like science<br />
* tabulating results and producing graphs of results<br />
<br />

<br />
;Proposed by: Katalin, Patrice<br />
;Time: 1 hr orso<br />
;Level: 101 ( = no minimum level of entry)<br />
Our proposals are low on tech aspects, maybe a nice diversion to more<br />

For unrepentant geeks there is a crypto currency aspect to some UBI<br />
proposals. We could discuss these, though I am not a fan of what I've<br />
seen advanced yet - cf. Kate's & my talk on Bitcoin at BarnCamp 2015.<br />
<br />
<br />

==Defence Against The Dark Arts: Information Security for the Discerning Activist==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Jim<br />
;Time: 2 hours<br />
;Level: From absolute beginners to pointy headed sandal wearers<br />
;Resources needed: a projector<br />
;Number: Limited only by capacity<br />
<br />
Stop being paranoid – take action. Explore scenarios where your security is in danger, identify what you need to protect, the threats and suitable counter-measures. The state does not have infinite resources – let’s exploit that! This workshop will be drawing on real world experience of high risk situations where compromises are inevitable and the human is always the weakest link.<br />
<br />
==Digital forensics==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: brent<br />
;Time: 1.30 to 2 hours<br />
;Level: Aiming to cater for ‘beginners’ and ‘intermediates’ etc.<br />
;Resources: <br />
Participant laptops will be useful for practical activities, but you can just watch and discuss. Ps. The activities can be done safely, but, as always, please have backed up your important files just in case.<br />
<br />
Projector could be useful if available but optional- will bring flipcharty-alternative.<br />
;Number: any<br />
<br />
Topic: Digital forensics (computing/law/investigations), but this is also good for introducing/exploring more general tech know-how, and possible discussions around politics/law/ethics/etc. Plan: Brief overview/intro, optional activities/demos featuring Linux (or Mac) and command line, but including some Windows and Graphical User Interface (GUI) options, optional discussions, and a hopefully fun practical digital forensic activity.<br />
<br />
Draft booklet at http://www.thebrentc.net/articles/digitalforensics/Digitalforensics.pdf (for reference, we won’t cover all content). Note I’m not working in this field or claiming huge expertise, so please come skillshare. If there’s specific topics people want to look at, let me know, and I can try prep for this (contacts in booklet). Comment/corrections for booklet welcome too.<br />

Legacy Code. I never wrote it; everybody else did! How many times have you waded through an ageing, decaying, tangled forrest of code and wished it would just die? How many times have you heard someone say that what really needs to happen is a complete rewrite? I have heard this many times, and, have uttered that fatal sentence myself. But shouldn’t we love our legacy code? Doesn’t it represent our investment and the hard work of ourselves and our predecessors? <br />
<br />
Throwing it away is dangerous, because, before we do, we’ll need to work out exactly what it does, and we’ll need to tweeze out that critical business logic nestled in a deeply entangled knot of IF statements. It could take us years to do, and we’ll have to maintain two systems whilst we do it, inevitably adding new features to them both. Yes we get to reimplement using the latest, coolest programming language, instead of an old behemoth, but how long will our new cool language be around, and who will maintain that code, when it itself inevitably turns to legacy?<br />
<br />
We can throw our arms in the air, complaining and grumbling about how we didn’t write the code, how we would never have written it the way it is, how those that wrote it were lesser programmers, possibly lesser humans themselves, but the code still remains, staring us in the face and hanging around for longer that we could possibly imagine. We can sort it out, we can improve it, we can make it testable, and we can learn to love our legacy code.<br />

== (Still) re-using computers in our communities ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: MaRk<br />
;Time: 1 - 2 hours depending on number of people<br />
;Level: Some experience of keeping old computers in use<br />
;Resources: Nothing special<br />
;Number: up to 20<br />
<br />
At the last BarnCamp, we had a [[Notes2015#Re-using_computers_in_our_communities|discussion]] about personal computer re-use, and how this could be linked to community education and different kinds of organisation/business. Many BarnCampers are involved with these kind of activities. Let's catch up with how we've been developing our re-use practices (e.g. lessons learned from setting up http://re-pute.it/), take stock of current challenges and resources available, and talk about how we can support each other as a network of practitioners.<br />
<br />
=Social and Political Activism=<br />
==Anarchy in the GR==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: naomi<br />
;Time, Numbers: as it comes<br />
;Resources: available from the bar<br />
<br />
Talk & discussion about the anarchist movement in Athens, the refugee housing projects, the tech work I've been trying to do there and why I've almost entirely failed to do anything (so far).<br />
<br />
<br />
==How we built the world's largest media co-operative==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: charlie<br />
;Time, numbers: An hour or so, as many as you like<br />
;Resources: projector, screen<br />
<br />
New Internationalist, where I work, recently ran a community share offer. We became a multi-stakeholder co-op with over 3,400 co-owners -- we think we are now the largest media co-op in the world. Along the way we learned a lot about how to run a crowdfunding campaign, how to balance worker autonomy and transparency in a co-op and just how many people believe that a better media ownership model is possible. What we learned will be useful for other progressive media, citizen journalist and perhaps movement projects more generally.<br />
<br />
=Practical activities=<br />
== activism ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: xyz<br />
;Time: .5 - 2 hours<br />
;Level: No experience needed<br />
;Resources: a modicum of enthusiasm<br />
;Number: up to 20<br />
<br />
how to make a difference. Discussions on applying tech skills to aiding activism. How to get involved. How to explore and expand interests. Current topics of interest. Where are efforts best aimed?<br />
<br />
==12/240 volt electrics for a campervan refit==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Adelayde<br />
;Time: 1 hour<br />
;Level: No previous experience, but if you know some DC electric stuff, it'd help me!<br />
;Resources: Project for inside bit (possibly), but otherwise outside at van<br />
;Number: As many as can practically see<br />
<br />
I've recently done up my third van for use as a camper. I've installed a secondary battery supply to provide both 12volt DC and 240volt AC supplies. Thought I'd show folks around how it fits together and what kit you need. Will try to cover:<br />
<br />
* batteries one can use<br />
* cables and connectors<br />
* split charge relays<br />
* fuses <br />
* 12 volt lighting <br />
* 240 volt cabling and inverters<br />
* RCD protection of 240volt circuits<br />
* Earthing<br />
* Some basic theory if there's time<br />
<br />
The workshop should be pretty exciting. We can look at some theory, before or after, having a look at the van wiring and discussing how I did it, and how you could do it.<br />
<br />
==Cool Running==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: MaRk<br />
;Time: 1-2 hours<br />
;Level: none - could be inclusive of kids with supervision<br />
;Resources: laptops of varying ages (participants to bring their own)<br />
;Number: up to 5 people at once, but can drift in & out - informal<br />
<br />
This activity uses a plug-in 240V power meter to measure power consumption of laptops, from which the battery has been removed. Each user is asked to get their lappy to run some standard tasks (e.g. play a video, or more formal benchmarks), and its power consumption is measured. Participants can then compare how energy-hungry their machine is compared to others, and how much energy they can save by changing how they use the machine. I've done this at village fairs etc. and it gets people talking and thinking about tech and energy.<br />
<br />
The activity can be adjusted according to the experience of attendees...<br />
* we can go on to look at BIOS tweaks<br />
* sysctl / powertop adjustments<br />
* simple measures like reducing backlight levels<br />
* simple maths to convert energy use into CO2 emissions / what you Earthlings call 'Money'<br />
* demonstrates an experimental paradigm to people who might not like science<br />
* tabulating results and producing graphs of results<br />

At the last BarnCamp, we had a [[Notes2015#Re-using_computers_in_our_communities|discussion]] about personal computer re-use, and how this could be linked to community education and different kinds of organisation/business. Many BarnCampers are involved with these kind of activities. Let's catch up with how we've been developing our re-use practices (e.g. lessons learned from setting up http://re-pute.it/), take stock of current challenges and resources available, and talk about how we can support each other as a network of practitioners.<br />
<br />
=Social and Political Activism=<br />
==Anarchy in the GR==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: naomi<br />
;Time, Numbers: as it comes<br />
;Resources: available from the bar<br />
<br />
Talk & discussion about the anarchist movement in Athens, the refugee housing projects, the tech work I've been trying to do there and why I've almost entirely failed to do anything (so far).<br />
<br />
<br />
==How we built the world's largest media co-operative==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: charlie<br />
;Time, numbers: An hour or so, as many as you like<br />
;Resources: projector, screen<br />
<br />
New Internationalist, where I work, recently ran a community share offer. We became a multi-stakeholder co-op with over 3,400 co-owners -- we think we are now the largest media co-op in the world. Along the way we learned a lot about how to run a crowdfunding campaign, how to balance worker autonomy and transparency in a co-op and just how many people believe that a better media ownership model is possible. Some of what we learned may be useful for other media, citizen journalism and movement projects more generally.<br />
<br />
=Practical activities=<br />
== activism ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: xyz<br />
;Time: .5 - 2 hours<br />
;Level: No experience needed<br />
;Resources: a modicum of enthusiasm<br />
;Number: up to 20<br />
<br />
how to make a difference. Discussions on applying tech skills to aiding activism. How to get involved. How to explore and expand interests. Current topics of interest. Where are efforts best aimed?<br />
<br />
==12/240 volt electrics for a campervan refit==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Adelayde<br />
;Time: 1 hour<br />
;Level: No previous experience, but if you know some DC electric stuff, it'd help me!<br />
;Resources: Project for inside bit (possibly), but otherwise outside at van<br />
;Number: As many as can practically see<br />
<br />
I've recently done up my third van for use as a camper. I've installed a secondary battery supply to provide both 12volt DC and 240volt AC supplies. Thought I'd show folks around how it fits together and what kit you need. Will try to cover:<br />
<br />
* batteries one can use<br />
* cables and connectors<br />
* split charge relays<br />
* fuses <br />
* 12 volt lighting <br />
* 240 volt cabling and inverters<br />
* RCD protection of 240volt circuits<br />
* Earthing<br />
* Some basic theory if there's time<br />
<br />
The workshop should be pretty exciting. We can look at some theory, before or after, having a look at the van wiring and discussing how I did it, and how you could do it.<br />
<br />
==Cool Running==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: MaRk<br />
;Time: 1-2 hours<br />
;Level: none - could be inclusive of kids with supervision<br />
;Resources: laptops of varying ages (participants to bring their own)<br />
;Number: up to 5 people at once, but can drift in & out - informal<br />
<br />
This activity uses a plug-in 240V power meter to measure power consumption of laptops, from which the battery has been removed. Each user is asked to get their lappy to run some standard tasks (e.g. play a video, or more formal benchmarks), and its power consumption is measured. Participants can then compare how energy-hungry their machine is compared to others, and how much energy they can save by changing how they use the machine. I've done this at village fairs etc. and it gets people talking and thinking about tech and energy.<br />
<br />
The activity can be adjusted according to the experience of attendees...<br />
* we can go on to look at BIOS tweaks<br />
* sysctl / powertop adjustments<br />
* simple measures like reducing backlight levels<br />
* simple maths to convert energy use into CO2 emissions / what you Earthlings call 'Money'<br />
* demonstrates an experimental paradigm to people who might not like science<br />
* tabulating results and producing graphs of results<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== UnMonastery/ economic sustainability/UBI/War on Ca$h ==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Katalin, Patrice<br />
;Time: 1 hr orso<br />
;Level: 101 ( = no minimum level of entry)<br />
Our proposals are low on tech aspects, maybe a nice diversion to more<br />
hard-core geeky talks/workshops.<br />
;Resources: human voice! (maybe slides could be shown, dunno yet!)<br />
;Number: Any number of people interested sitting in circle with the samovar in the middle.<br />
<br />
(You can indicate yr preference for one of each of the two subject issues proposed) <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Proposed by Katalin: The unMonastery project<br />
<br />
https://web.archive.org/web/20160806025222/http://athens.unmonastery.org/<br />
https://www.stirtoaction.com/article/unmonastery<br />
<br />
("The unMonastery is a social clinic for the future. It is a<br />
place-based social innovation is aimed at addressing the interlinked<br />
needs of empty space, unemployment and depleting social services by<br />
embedding committed, skilled individuals within communities that could<br />
benefit from their presence.")<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
or: discussing how to achieve economic sustainability for small<br />
co-living co-working initiatives.<br />
<br />
(Focusing more on the practical and organisational imperatives)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Proposed by Patrice: UBI: the movement for a Universal, unconditional basic income.<br />
<br />
(here for a long Wikipedia entry making my talk entirely superfluous -<br />
but I still can serve Turkish tea!)<br />
<br />
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income<br />
<br />
For unrepentant geeks there is a crypto currency aspect to some UBI<br />
proposals. We could discuss these, though I am not a fan of what I've<br />
seen advanced yet - cf. Kate's & my talk on Bitcoin at BarnCamp 2015.<br />
<br />
<br />
or: The War on Cash, and associated musing on the (bleak) future of Money as we know it.<br />
<br />
see e.g. http://thelongandshort.org/society/war-on-cash (Brett Scott)<br />
<br />
<br />
We intend to make our talk a place of conviviality and conmensality<br />
(Turkish tea!) <br />
<br />
cf: https://talk.devuan.org/t/software-freedom-your-way/592<br />
<br />
Cheers for now, p+7D! (only 2 coming to Barncamp!)<br />
<br />
<br />
==Wiki Editing for girls - and their friends==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Nor<br />
;Time: 30 mins<br />
;Level: Total beginner, no prior experience<br />
;Resources: Laptop <br />
;Number: up to 5 people<br />
<br />
Workshop for total beginners. You will learn how to edit Mediawiki so you can contribute to sites like Wikipedia, or the Barncamp wiki! People of all genders & none welcome.<br />
<br />
==Defence Against The Dark Arts: Information Security for the Discerning Activist==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: Jim<br />
;Time: 2 hours<br />
;Level: From absolute beginners to pointy headed sandal wearers<br />
;Resources needed: a projector<br />
;Number: Limited only by capacity<br />
<br />
Stop being paranoid – take action. Explore scenarios where your security is in danger, identify what you need to protect, the threats and suitable counter-measures. The state does not have infinite resources – let’s exploit that! This workshop will be drawing on real world experience of high risk situations where compromises are inevitable and the human is always the weakest link.<br />
<br />
==Digital forensics==<br />
<br />
;Proposed by: brent<br />
;Time: 1.30 to 2 hours<br />
;Level: Aiming to cater for ‘beginners’ and ‘intermediates’ etc.<br />
;Resources: <br />
Participant laptops will be useful for practical activities, but you can just watch and discuss. Ps. The activities can be done safely, but, as always, please have backed up your important files just in case.<br />
<br />
Projector could be useful if available but optional- will bring flipcharty-alternative.<br />
;Number: any<br />
<br />
Topic: Digital forensics (computing/law/investigations), but this is also good for introducing/exploring more general tech know-how, and possible discussions around politics/law/ethics/etc. Plan: Brief overview/intro, optional activities/demos featuring Linux (or Mac) and command line, but including some Windows and Graphical User Interface (GUI) options, optional discussions, and a hopefully fun practical digital forensic activity.<br />
<br />
Draft booklet at http://www.thebrentc.net/articles/digitalforensics/Digitalforensics.pdf (for reference, we won’t cover all content). Note I’m not working in this field or claiming huge expertise, so please come skillshare. If there’s specific topics people want to look at, let me know, and I can try prep for this (contacts in booklet). Comment/corrections for booklet welcome too.<br />
<br />

There have been five BarnCamps so far:<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2013]] - the fifth BarnCamp took place between 5 - 7 June 2013 in the Wye Valley. Check out the [[BarnCamp Media Page|Barncamp 2013 Media Page]] to find out what happened. Here's some further documentation from the event:<br />

* [[BarnCamp 2013 ideas scratchpad]] : workshop proposals and other ideas used to get 2013's BarnCamp together.<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2011]] - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as [http://bethemedia.org.uk Be The Media] and [https://network23.org Network23.org]. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlie_harvey/sets/72157626805974159/ Here's some photos from the event].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2010]] - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled ''BarnCamp'' we focused on a ''turning down the tech'' to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life. [[BarnCamp_2010_media|Photos, video and audio from BarnCamp 2010]].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2009]] took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2008]] took place between 13 - 15 June 2008, [http://flickr.com/photos/chopped_pork/sets/72157605640236602/show/ click here to view a slide-show of photos from the weekend].

There have been five BarnCamps so far:<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2013]] - the fifth BarnCamp took place between 5 - 7 June 2013 in the Wye Valley. Check out the [[BarnCamp Media Page|Barncamp 2013 Media Page]] to find out what happened. Here's some further documentation from the event:<br />

<br />
[[BarnCamp 2011]] - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as [http://bethemedia.org.uk Be The Media] and [https://network23.org Network23.org]. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlie_harvey/sets/72157626805974159/ Here's some photos from the event].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2010]] - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled ''BarnCamp'' we focused on a ''turning down the tech'' to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life. [[BarnCamp_2010_media|Photos, video and audio from BarnCamp 2010]].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2009]] took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.<br />
<br />

[[BarnCamp 2011]] - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as [http://bethemedia.org.uk Be The Media] and [https://network23.org Network23.org]. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlie_harvey/sets/72157626805974159/ Here's some photos from the event].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2010]] - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled ''BarnCamp'' we focused on a ''turning down the tech'' to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life.

=== Creating WordPress blogs for communities - a network approach ===<br />
<br />
Things to do for network 23 (and example WordPress community). <br />
<br />
* Plugin audit<br />
* Themes audit and search for new ones. <br />
=== WordPress networks for communities<br />
<br />
Christian talked about Commons in a Box. <br />
Facebook-like install with BuddyPress<br />
http://commonsinabox.org/<br />
This needs a multisite install of WP. If multiple CBOX communities are desired, then a multi-network WordPress instance is required. This can be enabled with:<br />

<br />
Suggestion - Take out custom CSS manager - this is probably too much <br />
<br />
Jetpack - has a good carousel - and you can take out the link to wordpress.com via setting a constant in wp-config.php:<br />
`define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', true );`<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Secure Your Phone ===<br />
<br />
The slide notes, including apps, is at https://github.com/foobacca/secure-phone-talk<br />
<br />
=== Collaborative Writing, online tools and offline practices ===<br />
<br />
List of tools identified<br />
<br />
* google docs<br />
* etherpad<br />
* commentpress<br />
* everpad<br />
* Crabgrass<br />
* booktype<br />
* wikibooks<br />
* gitbooks<br />
* readthedocs<br />
<br />
Some of the people there and thoughts<br />
<br />
* Mark – has done collaborative writing with local groups using etherpad - The development of Cryptoparty manual has been interesting - different directions – moved onto github – they were then merged. <br />
* Christian - CommentPress – annotation of WordPress posts. Different tools vary in their use. <br />
* Rich – Bristol Wireless website was a wiki – this has been edited and improved by other users – google docs another tool<br />
* Frederica – collaborative editing of a book previously - wikis could be useful to replace paper based collaboration. Widening involvement. <br />
* Brent – a more activist friendly google docs would be useful – saving and importing from word docs is often needed – low entry no password is good. Libre office is coming up with an online set up. <br />
* Micaela interested in collaborative writing from publishing background<br />
* Michael - as above <br />
* Pheadra – invites us to a book sprint on the plight of the bumble bee children's book. <br />
* Loukas - - involved in a visual communication coop – writing policies collaboratively <br />
* Scotty – bits of collaborative writing for green tech also on policies. Using crabgrass and another wiki and everpad. Also interested in documenting workshops. <br />
* Darren – etherpad, but there are issues working with online tools like that. <br />
<br />
Mick gave a presentation on Booktype and Booksprints. Some of those notes are up online here. <br />

<br />
=== Re-using computers in our communities ===<br />
<br />
Some of peoples' experiences:<br />
<br />
* G (and previously J) run Bit Fix It computer cafe in Sheffield, which has a strong emphasis on repair<br />
** found that limits to re-use are<br />
*** old interfaces (e.g. ISA slots on motherboards)<br />
*** ability to play youtube videos is the arbiter of how low a machine can be specified<br />
*** a 2GHz processor and 1GB RAM are pretty much the bottom line (although there are exceptions)<br />
*** Firefox "aurora" builds include "showtime" technology which works on about 70% of youtube content<br />
** It's easier to repair things if you focus on a few models<br />
** Software skills are teachable, and both the skills and the teacher's skills have value<br />
<br />
* We talked a lot about the carbon cost of new tech Vs re-used<br />
** For new equipment, a laptop has much less impact than a desktop machine<br />
** However, it's much easier to repair desktops, and all workers including volunteers need to think about the value of their time<br />
** Miniaturisation generally means lower impact, however for an exception look at the impact of successive generations of iphones<br />
** For a laptop, energy use breakdown is like this:<br />
*** 73% power consumption during a 3-year lifespan<br />
*** 25% manufacture<br />
*** 2% disposal (but remember that even local council WEEE providers sometimes route to e-waste hell)<br />
<br />
Further info on environmental impacts can be found in http://www2.wrap.org.uk/downloads/Environmental_assessment_of_consumer_electronic_products.1290a42a.10214.pdf<br />
<br />
* Advertising what you do could be linked in to other people with similar ethos, e.g. bike repair cafes.<br />
<br />
* Dealing with people's expectations for service and support is more of a drain than providing gear<br />
** Perhaps you could have a monthly 'club meeting' when people support each other and ask volunteers if they're still stuck<br />
** Much easier if people get a standardised installation of the same OS<br />
<br />
* Models of funding could include<br />
** Pay up-front for a reconditioned machine<br />
** Pay in installments until you own it outright (maybe collaborate with a credit union?)<br />
** Join a club which provides peer support, and membership fee entitles you to loan a machine<br />
** Purchasing cooperatives (analogous to food coops) but with some way of getting back used machines<br />
<br />
* B was involved in a repair cafe<br />
** turned out that all the problems people brought in were software rather than hardware<br />
** most of the software problems were malware<br />
** it's great to give someone the skills to sort it out themself in future<br />
<br />
* Mike has a "classroom in a box" project consisting of Strawverry TARTS<br />
** ideally, these machines shouldn't need to declare themselves as being linux<br />
** people love how fast they fire up<br />
** idea of offering three different models<br />
*** Bilberry = zero dollar laptop. It might not do what you want.<br />
*** Strawberry = cheap refurbsihed laptop with ubuntu-mate<br />
*** ?berry = medium price but still great value, for people with specific requirements<br />
<br />

=== Neuroscience & Computing ===<br />
<br />
This discussion began with<br />
# a round of introductions, then there was<br />
# a brief presentation on Neuroscience & Future Computing and finally<br />
# discussion, both at the end and interspersed through the presentation.<br />
<br />
A second briefer presentation on Artificial Intelligence happened during the discussion.<br />
<br />
==== Introductions ====<br />
<br />
here is a few (not all) of the things people said<br />
"I do data analysis. I'm interested in neural networks. Although that's not the type of data analysis that I do but I've heard of it"<br />
"I'm a programmer. I do a lot of 'crypto'[graphy]"<br />
"I watched that film ex_machina recently"<br />
"I do user experience on a website design team"<br />
"I used to be a paleontologist, now I'm a hippy"<br />
"I do lo tech"<br />
etc.<br />
<br />
==== Presentation ====<br />
<br />
People may not be aware of the connection between neuroscience and computer science. The exchange between developments in computer science and developments in neuroscience is two way: Firstly, neuroscience is now being done more often with computational techniques. Secondly new techniques for computer technology are being sought the principles of the brain, that is by thinking about the brain as if it were a computer and reverse engineering the brain to make computers that use less power, think in alternative ways, and do much more parrallel processing. As has previously happened many times, people often turn to copying, privatising, borrowing or stealing from the natural world in order to jump start the economy.<br />
<br />
There are now various initiatives in Big Science that are doing work on the brain. Big science initiatives are a mixture of science + industrial policy + PR & media. Sometimes they include some 'ethics and society' initiatives to discuss the social impacts of new technologies developed from the initiative. Sometimes they don't. Big Science initiatives are usually modelled after the original and most famous Big Science initiative which was the Human Genome Project to map the genetics of a human being. While there are various national initiatives on brain science the two largest are the Obama BRAIN initiative https://www.whitehouse.gov/share/brain-initiative and the EU funded Human Brain Project http://www.humanbrainproject.eu . The US based Brain initiative is partially funded by military sources whereas the EU initiative does not accept any military funding.<br />
<br />
The EU project is to build infrastructure platforms to do neuroscience. It's broken into three areas: Future Medicine, Future Neuroscience, and Future Computing & Robotics. Although this is called a neuroscience initiative the budget for it came from the EU computer science research budget to support research and economic competitiveness in the European computer industry. This led to some public controversy at the beginning of the project.<br />
<br />
Future Medicine: USing Big data and patient records, the medical initiative wants to link mental health problems (which are currently very difficult to understand causes for) to 'biomarkers.' Biomarkers are something measurable and biological that can be used to help identify and diagnose a medical problem in an individual person. The new EU data protection legislation may affect the ability to use big data for medical research & there is a proposed exception for medical research.<br />
<br />
[Discussion: There was a discussion about where people saw mental health problems as coming from. Most people said mental health problems were a social issue, not biological. One person said they thought some people had a predispositions to have mental health problems that were triggered by difficulties in social environment. Most people in the group saw the brain as changing over time from birth on and mental health issues were developed.<br />
<br />
Question: Is this represented in the research? <br />
Answer: No current research is only attempting to develop a single picture of the brain, like a snap shot. It is not trying to find developmental pathways of mental illness. It sees mental illness as a problem in the brain and not as a social issue. There was also discussion about the recent attempts by government to make everyone's medical records available for research purposes (even to potentially to private industry) which failed because of public discontent http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/28/care-data-is-in-chaos ]<br />
<br />
Future Neuroscience: The neuroscience initiative is attempting to build simulation platforms as an infrastructure not just for neuroscience but for other types of large scale computer simulation work across Europe. The project is attempting to build or join up a computer modelling community for brain research.<br />
<br />
Future Computing and Robotics: By reverse engineering the brain technologists hope to develop new computing technologies and High Performance Computing. Neuromorphic computing is one way to do this- this is computing using principles similiar to the tangled circuits of how neurons stimulate one another within the brain. There are two types of neuromorphic computing- one is emulating the brain through software, the other is making hardware that acts like circuits of neurons. These are called neuromorphic chips. These type of chips are better at recognizing patterns than a normal logic gate computer chip. Therefore many new 'algorithms' are coming out of neuroscience. Algorithms are increasingly being used by many technical systems that affect our lives. http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22530073.500-living-with-the-algorithms-that-run-our-lives.html#.VYgcIU1waM8 The future computing initiative is also commissioning a super computer larger than anything now existing to simulate a full human brain. All of the half dozen or so companies that make supercomputers are also involved in working with the military for some of their contracts. Robotics may also be affected by new research in neuroscience. Theories of 'cognitive architechture' (how the brain is structured to make different types of decisions) are being used to develop robots. Robots are said to be needed for work in the 4 D's (dangerous, dull, dirty, or delicate) which humans couldn't or wouldn't want to do. Because brain like machines are better at recognizing patterns robotics and robotic software systems might be able to do new kinds of work in the future particularly if researchers can learn from or copy visual systems neuroscience. Many more professional jobs (journalist, legal assistant, etc.) might be able to be done by robots/robotic systems in the near future. It's important to remember that even now robots can't work alone. There always has to be human workers to watch the machines and fix problems in a factory full of robots, for example an automobile manufacturing center. The neuroscience & computing overlap is potentially also part of developing 'artificial intelligence (A.I.)' systems. A.I. has many corporate and banking sector uses, as well as military uses as well, such as military drones. It might also have medical or legal system uses. A.I. isn't actually like in sci-fi movies with thinking computers (HAL from 2001: A space odyssey is the most famous) but are perhaps better described as 'brain like machines' which are often very good at pattern recognition or matching. Although we don't notice it A.I. is also part of many everyday things we use like Google search engines and maps. Google is involved with researching A.I., robotics, self-driving cars, and they may also be involved in military research contracts or supporting government intelligence work.<br />
<br />
[Discussion: Where do you think robots or A.I. systems will be used? Various answers from group- As servants, to reduce human work on processes, in transportation, agriculture, sex, legal profession, medical profession. Discussion about will the machines take over: one participant suggests they already have been, 200 years ago during the industrial revolution they started to take working class jobs, now they will start to take middle class jobs, but the 'Skynet' type fantasy is only ruling class people worrying about their jobs being taken over (boss everyone around and kill anyone who disagrees). People talked about the most famous A.I. project WATSON which won jeopardy, about memristers (?), about the video on utube 'Humans need not apply', ]<br />
<br />
<br />
Second Presention (slightly shorter) by another participant of group on Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and various companies involved in this: for example DeepMind (a computer that plays 2Dimensional video games from the 80s (discussion: does it only listen to music from the 80s as well?), DeepMind now bought up by Google, the work of Ray Kurzweil (famous for advocating the 'singularity', a sort of rapture for geeks) on optical character recognition, WATSON for IBM, zabbawhere- ultrahal computer based bot. THe focus of presentation was what is A.I. and why do we want it anyway? <br />
<br />
[more discussion - is there now a breakfast companion that will talk to you while you eat your cereal? (?), viruses and botnets are designed to hide themselves and adapt to their environment so perhaps these are the real A.I.'s developing. Interest in theories of a holgraphic universe from physics; and interest in simulation. "we should be developing A.I. to learn in it's own environment which is a digital environment." "What's a brain anyway? Too much emphasis on this one bit of the body" "The brain is a big memory store. In my family we learned a lot from my mother's mental health problems. She had a breakdown in the barriers that stop information coming in. Her brain didn't stop all these things coming into her experience" More discussion about 'Affective computing.' This is when computers can recognize or simulate human emotions, potentially being able to influence human beings. One participant gave a somewhat linked example where marketing and voter preference information was used to encourage people to vote on green issues. Different voters were presented the issue in quite different ways. Another participant argued that there was a limit to how much people could be manipulated before they withdraw their consent.]<br />

=== Creating WordPress blogs for communities - a network approach ===<br />
<br />
Things to do for network 23 (and example WordPress community). <br />
<br />
* Plugin audit<br />
* Themes audit and search for new ones. <br />
=== WordPress networks for communities<br />
<br />
Christian talked about Commons in a Box. <br />
Facebook-like install with BuddyPress<br />
http://commonsinabox.org/<br />
This needs a multisite install of WP. If multiple CBOX communities are desired, then a multi-network WordPress instance is required. This can be enabled with:<br />
<br />
* https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-multi-network/<br />
* https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/<br />

Suggestion - Take out custom CSS manager - this is probably too much <br />
<br />
Jetpack - has a good carousel - and you can take out the link to wordpress.com via setting a constant in wp-config.php:<br />
`define( 'JETPACK_DEV_DEBUG', true );`<br />

=== Collaborative Writing, online tools and offline practices ===<br />
<br />
List of tools identified<br />
<br />
* google docs<br />
* etherpad<br />
* commentpress<br />
* everpad<br />
* Crabgrass<br />
* booktype<br />
* wikibooks<br />
* gitbooks<br />
* readthedocs<br />
<br />
Some of the people there and thoughts<br />
<br />
* Mark – has done collaborative writing with local groups using etherpad - The development of Cryptoparty manual has been interesting - different directions – moved onto github – they were then merged. <br />
* Christian - CommentPress – annotation of WordPress posts. Different tools vary in their use. <br />
* Rich – Bristol Wireless website was a wiki – this has been edited and improved by other users – google docs another tool<br />
* Frederica – collaborative editing of a book previously - wikis could be useful to replace paper based collaboration. Widening involvement. <br />
* Brent – a more activist friendly google docs would be useful – saving and importing from word docs is often needed – low entry no password is good. Libre office is coming up with an online set up. <br />
* Micaela interested in collaborative writing from publishing background<br />
* Michael - as above <br />
* Pheadra – invites us to a book sprint on the plight of the bumble bee children's book. <br />
* Loukas - - involved in a visual communication coop – writing policies collaboratively <br />
* Scotty – bits of collaborative writing for green tech also on policies. Using crabgrass and another wiki and everpad. Also interested in documenting workshops. <br />
* Darren – etherpad, but there are issues working with online tools like that. <br />
<br />
Mick gave a presentation on Booktype and Booksprints. Some of those notes are up online here. <br />

=== Re-using computers in our communities ===<br />
<br />
Some of peoples' experiences:<br />
<br />
* G (and previously J) run Bit Fix It computer cafe in Sheffield, which has a strong emphasis on repair<br />
** found that limits to re-use are<br />
*** old interfaces (e.g. ISA slots on motherboards)<br />
*** ability to play youtube videos is the arbiter of how low a machine can be specified<br />
*** a 2GHz processor and 1GB RAM are pretty much the bottom line (although there are exceptions)<br />
*** Firefox "aurora" builds include "showtime" technology which works on about 70% of youtube content<br />
** It's easier to repair things if you focus on a few models<br />
** Software skills are teachable, and both the skills and the teacher's skills have value<br />
<br />
* We talked a lot about the carbon cost of new tech Vs re-used<br />
** For new equipment, a laptop has much less impact than a desktop machine<br />
** However, it's much easier to repair desktops, and all workers including volunteers need to think about the value of their time<br />
** Miniaturisation generally means lower impact, however for an exception look at the impact of successive generations of iphones<br />
** For a laptop, energy use breakdown is like this:<br />
*** 73% power consumption during a 3-year lifespan<br />
*** 25% manufacture<br />
*** 2% disposal (but remember that even local council WEEE providers sometimes route to e-waste hell)<br />
<br />
Further info on environmental impacts can be found in http://www2.wrap.org.uk/downloads/Environmental_assessment_of_consumer_electronic_products.1290a42a.10214.pdf<br />
<br />
* Advertising what you do could be linked in to other people with similar ethos, e.g. bike repair cafes.<br />
<br />
* Dealing with people's expectations for service and support is more of a drain than providing gear<br />
** Perhaps you could have a monthly 'club meeting' when people support each other and ask volunteers if they're still stuck<br />
** Much easier if people get a standardised installation of the same OS<br />
<br />
* Models of funding could include<br />
** Pay up-front for a reconditioned machine<br />
** Pay in installments until you own it outright (maybe collaborate with a credit union?)<br />
** Join a club which provides peer support, and membership fee entitles you to loan a machine<br />
** Purchasing cooperatives (analogous to food coops) but with some way of getting back used machines<br />
<br />
* B was involved in a repair cafe<br />
** turned out that all the problems people brought in were software rather than hardware<br />
** most of the software problems were malware<br />
** it's great to give someone the skills to sort it out themself in future<br />
<br />
* Mike has a "classroom in a box" project consisting of Strawverry TARTS<br />
** ideally, these machines shouldn't need to declare themselves as being linux<br />
** people love how fast they fire up<br />
** idea of offering three different models<br />
*** Bilberry = zero dollar laptop. It might not do what you want.<br />
*** Strawberry = cheap refurbsihed laptop with ubuntu-mate<br />
*** ?berry = medium price but still great value, for people with specific requirements<br />
<br />
* Mark has been trying to get peer-support project going<br />
** One of the challenges is without a regular location, people don't develop a "drop in" habit<br />
** It feels like people might respond better to a simple offer of a product or a service, rather than innovations they're not familiar with<br />
** All most people want is a computer that will<br />
*** Boot up in less than a minute<br />
*** Browse the web and deal with flash etc. without complaining<br />
*** Word-processor that can load & save .docx<br />
<br />
* Finding funding for new initiatives can require a bit of "hacking the system"<br />
<br />
* it would be good to refine and expand these ideas into a book<br />

<br />
[[BarnCamp 2011]] - the fourth edition of our summer outing took place between 9 - 12 June 2011 in the Wye Valley. We built upon the success of the previous year, keeping the tech turned down, but also consolidating some of the new projects that hacktionlabbers are involved in, such as [http://bethemedia.org.uk Be The Media] and [https://network23.org Network23.org]. This year incorporated more off-grid technology with a repeat of the Wild Food Walk, a workshop of knot making and tools for open collaboration. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlie_harvey/sets/72157626805974159/ Here's some photos from the event].<br />
<br />
[[BarnCamp 2010]] - the third edition of our summer outing took place between 11 - 13 June 2010 in the Wye Valley. Retitled ''BarnCamp'' we focused on a ''turning down the tech'' to make it an event accessible to all with workshops including how to forage for food, how to make a slingshot and the ubiquitous how to encrypt your life.

<br />
[[BarnCamp 2009]] took place between 11 - 14 June 2009 in the Wye Valley on the Wales - England border.<br />

== Live updates: Saturday ==<br />
<br />
11:06 -- We are just putting the agenda together now<br />
11:12 -- We're looking at the timetable and prioritising tasks<br />
11:17 -- We're talking about the 1in12 safer spaces policy and event practicalities<br />
11:30 -- We're just about to start. First session in 5 minutes<br />
11:45 -- Starting th network23 session<br />
12:13 -- Wrapping up the n23 session and starting to talk about moving off whingedoze <br />
xp to the free world of GNU/Linux<br />
12:15 -- Session notes:<br />
Linux Mint is nice, but difficult to upgrade to new release; If people are <br />
running xp you need to ask yourself is the hardware any good; options on <br />
low power hardware: LXDE, XFCE. We don't like Gnome3; Chrome has flash built in,<br />
but flash is probably doomed in the next few years. XP will soon stop supporting <br />
crypto. Old Macs (ie. g5) will be useless too (try yellowdog linux?). <br />
Bitfixer caff in Sheffield is good to be in touch with about these issues. Also <br />
access space. Debian has per-window manager distros (or look in advanced). We could have <br />
a "memory bank" of free RAM.<br />

Linux Mint is nice, but difficult to upgrade to new release; If people are <br />
running xp you need to ask yourself is the hardware any good; options on <br />
low power hardware: LXDE, XFCE. We don't like Gnome3; Chrome has flash built in,<br />
but flash is probably doomed in the next few years. XP will soon stop supporting <br />
crypto. Old Macs (ie. g5) will be useless too (try yellowdog linux?). <br />
Bitfixer caff in Sheffield is good to be in touch with about these issues. Also <br />
access space. Debian has per-window manager distros (or look in advanced). We could have <br />
a "memory bank" of free RAM.<br />

12:15 -- Linux Mint is nice, but difficult to upgrade to new distro; If people are <br />
running xp you need to ask yourself is the hardware any good; options on <br />
low power hardware: LXDE, XFCE. We don't like Gnome3; Chrome has flash built in,<br />
but flash is probably doomed in the next few years. XP will soon stop supporting <br />
crypto.<br />

# Let's hack the 1in12's web site into shape<br />
# Left tech - there's a lot of left-behind tech kicking around at the 1in12. Is it any user? What's it for? Has someone a use for it?<br />
# Choosing a hosting provider.<br />
## Sharing session on experiences with different hosting providers, both commercial and community, across different legal jurisdictions <br />
# Hardening your web server and email server security: Cipher selection under TLS for various protocols<br />
## For web servers<br />
## For SMTP/IMAP/POP3/XMPP <br />
## Can we forget Windows XP yet ?<br />

== Open Space Session ideas ==<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas we've had already. Please contribute [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genderqueer gender] ideas here, or bounch them around on the [[Mailing List]].<br />
<br />
# Privacy Workshop - talk on recent events and then workshop on getting GPG, Tor, I2P, Tails, etc up and running.<br />
# Let's hack the 1in12's web site into shape<br />
# Left tech - there's a lot of left-behind tech kicking around at the 1in12. Is it any user? What's it for? Has someone a use for it?<br />
# Choosing a hosting provider.<br />
## Sharing session on experiences with different hosting providers, both commercial and community, across different legal jurisdictions <br />
# Hardening your web server and email server security: Cipher selection under TLS for various protocols<br />
## For web servers<br />
## For SMTP/IMAP/POP3/XMPP <br />
## Can we forget Windows XP yet ?<br />
# Verifying certificates on SMTP transports with exim/postfix<br />
## How do you know that your email is delivered to the recipient you think it was without tampering ? STARTTLS can encrypt email in transit, but to whom! <br />
# GPG<br />
## Yes the keysigning<br />
## "how to use gpg like a pro" AKA https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices<br />
# Use of schleuder ( a gpg remailer )<br />
## Schleuder is a gpg mailing list software that can act as a remailer and contact front for a group of people. It uses GPG to secure messages internally and can be configured for a number of uses cases such as <br />
### Secure internal communications<br />
### anonymising communications from internal parties to external ones.<br />
# Working with Transition Towns<br />
## Models of social intervention<br />
## Discussing people's use of ICT<br />
### analysing communication needs, contrary to primitivism<br />
### splitting utility from commodity, contrary to capitalism<br />
## [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_assessment Life-cycle assessment] for greener tech<br />
## Hacking for resilience<br />

The lovely people at the 1 in 12 club need to have a rough estimate of numbers so they buy enough carrots and other food to go round. There's a [[winter 2014 hacklab attendees|table here]] that you can use to reserve your carrot.<br />
