Requested by [[User:Altered walter|Altered walter]]

==Feature Requests==
===Audible Announce===
It would be nice to have an audible announce system. It was speculated that if there was a [http://www.mpg123.de cli media player] that there may be a way to have MasterControl play an audio file on first entry. Members would ideally be able to upload their own audio files to have some customization similar to their IRC announce names. This would need clear rules defined so that it wouldn't be too annoying. Things like only playing once every 4 hours, being limited to 15 seconds and have an abuse report system in place. 
Requested by [[User:Kulps|kulps]]

===Paging System===
It would be nice to have a paging system that could be invoked from either IRC or the [[MasterControl|Master Control]] page to allow somebody to try and gain the attention of members at the space. There could be different pages such as "Please let me in" and "Please look at IRC" These might be themed to have noises like Navi from Ocarina. This would need clear rules defined to that it wouldn't be too annoying. Things like only paging once every 15 minutes. 
Requested by [[User:Kulps|kulps]]

===Daemonize===
It would be nice to have the system be daemonized so that maintenance can be more easily scripted. 
Requested by [[User:Kulps|kulps]]

===Sign Out Reader===
It would be nice to have a reader that could be swiped as a "sign out" to let people know that you're leaving. This would be mounted in space and control no doors, just as information for other members. 
Requested by [[User:Kulps|kulps]]

===Last Entry Query===
It would be nice to be able to query MasterControl in IRC for the last time that a particular person used the system, this would need to use variables so you could ask for name, fob number, or announcement nick. 
Ex: 
13:41:00 kulps | 120320455 Front Door 
13:41:02 MasterControl | Hey kulps, the Front Door was last opened by 120320455 on 2013-02-03 18:20:02

Tool Fund

2013-06-17T16:09:07Z

Kulps:

ENTS members have decided to band together to buy tools for the space. Hov's brainchild is the Tool Fund, where member contribute money ideally monthly, but one-off contributions are accepted as well. The idea is the for every $25 donated, the donor receives 1 vote. Voting happens monthly and donors can either vote to buy tool/s, supplies or to keep the fund for another month, either to save more or to wait for a better purchase need to appear.

Q: What will the money be used for? 
A: Primarily tools and the maintenance of tools. It's impossible to say with certainty, since donors decide what will be purchased. The idea at inception was that bigger ticket items be the primary goal and some smaller ticket items. 
 
Q: Who decides what to buy? 
A: Donors will, those who have invested in the fund get a say in how the money is spent. 
 
Q: Is a group buy right? Will members own a portion of what is bought? 
A: No. ENTS will own anything purchased from the tool fund. Money donated to the tool fund is exactly that, a donation. 
 
Q: How will the tools and equipment be maintained once purchased? 
A: This will also be a portion of the Tool Fund's responsibility. 
 
Q: How are purchase decisions made? 
A: There will be monthly threads in the forums to discuss what donors want to see done with the funds. Votes are decided by a 50+1 majority. 
 
Q: How will the membership know of the Tool Fund's Health? 
A: The Tool Fund's balance and recent decisions will be reported on at monthly meetings. Tool Fund discussions will happen separately, this is to ensure that the monthly meetings stay on topic. Donors will meet otherwise to decide how to administer the Tool Fund. 
 
Q: What about training and all that other stuff? 
A: Depending on the tool/item we'll figure that out. Some won't need any and some will need a lot. 
 
Q: You're going to buy nothing but Garage Stuff or Electronics Stuff or or or right? 
A: No. The idea would be to spend the money on things for the garage and things for electronics or prototyping or computers or software or or or. We'll be trying to spread the money around and get the biggest bang for the buck. 
 
Q: Who is in charge of the Tool Fund? 
A: Grelli will be taking care of the accounting and bookkeeping. Hov will be organizing/moderating the forums and such. Depending on the purchases there will be others involved for specific items. 
 
Q: Does all the money need to be spent when purchases are made? 
A: No, if the donors decide to spend a portion of the fund, the remainder will stay in the fund for future purchases. 
 
Q: How will the voting work for the remaining money? 
A:

Q: How will the tools and equipment be maintained once purchased?
A: This will also be a portion of the Tool Fund's responsibility.

Q: How do we decide on what gets purchased?
A: After the end of the month a post will be placed in the forums saying what we have and what we could buy. Those that donated will be able to vote on what to do. That could be spend some on small stuff or wait and spend on big stuff or a combination of both. The post will be a rundown of all those that participated and how many votes they have. There will be a clear cut-off date and target for purchase as well as infomation on who's making the purchase etc. Some purchases will be very specific (such as models/sources etc. etc.) and some could be "let's spend 100-150 on a grappel gromet machine and save the rest to buy a chumyodler!

Q: How do we know how it's going?
A: The Tool Fund's balance and recent decisions will be reported on at monthly meetings. Tool Fund discussions will happen separately, this is to ensure that the monthly meetings stay on topic. Donors will meet otherwise to decide how to administer the Tool Fund.

==IRC Shell Server==
What is this and why would I want it? 
Basically, if you always want be connected to the ENTS irc channel, this is one of the best ways to do it. Some reasons one might want to stay connected would be wanting to read the channel log without having to always be connected yourself, to receive message that were left for you while you were away, to maintain a registered nick without having to worry about still being logged in somewhere else. 
There's a few pretty good reasons but basically, many of us just find it easier.

= The Hackerspace Passports were created to =
* help promote people visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible
* increase collaboration
* increase cross-pollination so we can all learn from one another
* encourage all hackerspaces to support each other
* (And it's fun.)

These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! And, rather than a requirement for passing borders, they are intended to encourage it!

Hackerspace and hacker cons around the world have made their own stamps, so people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they go!

[[Image:423px-Passassembled08_visa_thumb.jpg|thumb|right]]

== Stamp Dimensions ==
Each page of the Hackerspace Passport can accommodate 4 stamps of 41mm x 47mm, or 1 stamp up to 89mm x 118mm.

== Promotional Graphics ==

Below are some drafts for website badges to promote that your hackerspace has stamps to support these passports.

[[Image:Passport-badge-iron.png]]

[[Image:Passport-badge2.png]]

== Making Your Own Hackerspace Passports ==
If you want to make your own Hackerspace Passports, then please do! If you make your own then you can do it any way you want! You can call it whatever you want! You can create your own artwork! You can make it any shape you want! You can do anything you wish, since it is ''yours''!

You can also grab the original artwork, and use it verbatim, or hack it for your purposes. The artwork is entirely free and open source. See the links, below, for the print-ready PDF, and also the source artwork.

To make 2,600 of them, I used a local printer, named Valencia Printing, on Valencia St, in San Francisco. But any printer can print these. Of course, the fewer you make, the more expensive it is to make each one. Valencia Printing used 4-color printing on the inside pages, and used thick cardstock for the cover, using navy-blue and white ink on the cover. It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

== Download the Passport artwork! ==
Thanks to [http://har.ms Matthew Borgatti] ([http://twitter.com/gianteye @gianteye]) who did all the illustration, graphic design, and proofing to bring this together. He also runs a store called [http://www.sleekanddestroy.com Sleek and Destroy] you might want to check out.

It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

= I created Hackerspace Passports to =
* help promote people visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible
* increase collaboration
* increase cross-pollination so we can all learn from one another
* encourage all hackerspaces to support each other
* (And it's fun.)

These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! And, rather than a requirement for passing borders, they are intended to encourage it!

Hackerspace and hacker cons around the world have made their own stamps, so people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they go!

I released the first 2600 of these at Chaos Communication Camp 2011, which seemed appropriate to me, since the previous Camp (in 2007) was the birthplace of the new wave of hackerspaces.

I brought 3 stamps with me to Camp:
* Noisebridge
* Hardware Hacking Tent (which I'm helping organize)
* a stamp I made for CCCamp2011

[[Image:423px-Passassembled08_visa_thumb.jpg|thumb|right]]

The Hackerspace Passports cost me about €1 each, and that's what I sold them for.

My hope was that all hackerspaces and all hacker conferences would make their own stamps, so that hackers can travel the world and share their stories with one another by showing off the stamps in their passport. It worked!

== Stamp Dimensions ==
Each page of the Hackerspace Passport can accommodate 4 stamps of 41mm x 47mm, or 1 stamp up to 89mm x 118mm.

== Promotional Graphics ==

Below are some drafts for website badges to promote that your hackerspace has stamps to support these passports.

Clicking on these badge buttons should link back to this wiki or to a custom page that your hackerspace uses to show off their stamps. Note: At this time these are not official buttons but just drafts. Button look subject to change. Check back often.

== Making Your Own Hackerspace Passports ==
If you want to make your own Hackerspace Passports, then please do! If you make your own then you can do it any way you want! You can call it whatever you want! You can create your own artwork! You can make it any shape you want! You can do anything you wish, since it is ''yours''!

You can also grab the original artwork, and use it verbatim, or hack it for your purposes. The artwork is entirely free and open source. See the links, below, for the print-ready PDF, and also the source artwork.

To make 2,600 of them, I used a local printer, named Valencia Printing, on Valencia St, in San Francisco. But any printer can print these. Of course, the fewer you make, the more expensive it is to make each one. Valencia Printing used 4-color printing on the inside pages, and used thick cardstock for the cover, using navy-blue and white ink on the cover. It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

MasterControl

2013-02-03T17:02:50Z

Kulps:

[[Category:Master Control]]
'''Master Control''' 
MasterControl is the home-grown RFID system used at ENTS. Currently it controls access to the front and back doors to the ENTS space, as well as to the shop. 
MasterContol consists of RFID readers communicating (using wiegand protocol) with an Arduino based microcontroler board. The 'Arduino' is connected to a computer (currently Atlas) via USB. On the computer is a Python script which provides the majority of MasterControl's functionality, together with a MySQL db backend which contains member data. In the member database as well as name and contact information, there are also fields for irc name, twitter name and nickname. 
As well as controling door access, MasterControl will also announce member entrances on the irc channel (#ents) as well as the [http://twitter.com/ENTSBIGBROTHER MasterControl Twitter feed] 
On irc it is possible to query MasterControl to get back information on doorc access. Simply send MasterControl a private message with the door name you are interested in, MasterControl will send you back a private message with the information on who last accessed the requested door. Allowable door names are 'front hall', 'blue room', 'shop', and 'any'.
eg. /msg MasterControl any 
 
'''Master Control Announce''' 
In the name of privacy, currently entrance announcements are opt-in only. Members must specify that they would like their actions announced at which point their events are announced on irc and twitter. If populated in the db, the members irc name will be used in the irc channel, and their twitter name will be used in the twitter post. Otherwise MasterControl will use their nickname, or their first name if the nickname is not provided. 
In order to reduce irc/twitter congestion currently MasterControl will only announce your arrival if you have not unlocked any doors within the last half hour. 
 
'''Master Control Account Log In''' 
To view/edit your MasterControl account information, log in to the '''[http://members.ents.ca:8080/login.php Account Manager]''' with your blue fob number. Your password will default to your fob number as well. After logging in you can change your information and password. 
 
'''Master Control Development''' 
The source code for MasterControl is hosted on our Dropbox folder, and a sanitized version is periodically synced to the [http://code.google.com/p/master-control/ MasterControl Google Code Page]. 
Master Control 2.0 is currently under development, for more information please visit the [[MasterControl_2.0|Master Control 2.0]] page

HackTuesday

== HackTuesday ==

Every week ENTS members congregate at the space to socialize and work on their projects. This is an open format evening where it's just as likely to spend the whole night in the lounge chatting as it is to be toiling away at a project. 
 
There are no formal times for HackTuesday, however it's safe to expect members to be around from 6pm until 10pm. 
 
HackTuesday is also a great way to introduce new people to ENTS as they're able to tour the space and meet part of the membership. It's also very easy for people to come and go without disturbing other members, unlike at the monthly meetings.

==Stuff I do for ENTS==
===[[Directors]]===
I joined ENTS in October 2009 and have been an active member ever since. In early 2009 I was appointed to the board of [[User:Directors|directors]]. In August of 2010 I was re-elected to the board and given the title President. The same happened again in 2011 and here we are.

===[[NIC]]===
I'm into cable. I enjoy running it and making it pretty. I ran most of the cable at ENTS with the help of [[User:Awstott|Awstott]] and have a good idea of where most of it all goes. I've also been known to upgrade the space router to non-functioning states, so there's that, I guess...

===Manage this Wiki===
Most of the maintenance to this Wiki is done by myself, though I often ask for help from those who know MediaWiki better. You'll often see me managing spam and updating styles and sections. If you're keen to take this role over from me, please feel free to let me know. I do this only because it must be done, not because I enjoy it.

==Stuff I do at ENTS==
===Annoying Project Management===
It's certainly not uncommon for me to be hovering over peoples projects, given that I end up describing ENTS to people on a constant basis I'm always interested in the current projects at ENTS.
===Woodworking===
Though I've yet to have much time to put in to my woodworking most of the wood tools found in the shop are mine. On the magic day when I have more time to work on my own projects again I'll likely get in to the shop and start working on some bookshelves.
===Sewing===
The only ENTS member to make use of the sewing machines, I mend and create clothes at ENTS. I've also got weak hopes to build custom slip covers for our more expensive tools over the next year.

'''What is ENTS?''' 
The Edmonton New Technology Society (ENTS) is a non-profit, member-driven organization of technology and hobby enthusiasts. ENTS offers members a place to create, build, repair and otherwise work on projects. 
Our first meeting was in August of 2009 and we have been improving and building on our space ever since. In the years since forming, ENTS has grown to be a self-sustaining organization of like minded individuals who come together through projects and community.
