Hi there!

The wiki has been updated with the results of fantastic work on creating solder masks with the Laser cutter.  Please see his page on Surface Mount Assembly for more information.  This goes through steps to increase NB's capacity for bulk PCB production.  Other Noisebridgers are working to get the Pick and Place up and running once more.

James Sundquist led creating NAW, Noise Audio Workstation in the back of the space by Church. He secured a number of donations to make it happen, and every Sunday at 1pm for the next few months Cain is teaching an Ableton 101 class using donated licenses.

Douglas and Sturgess is holding free casting workshops the first Friday of every month.  The first is   Today, Jun 1, and is covering "Introduction to the Materials of Molding and Casting" from 6p to 9p.  The classes are being held at Douglas and Sturgess San Francisco location.  Right now there's no info on the website, but I found out in-store and have a flyer.  I'll email them to see if they can update their site.  It's "after-hours" which may be confusing.

New bins!
New trash (black), recycling(blue) and new compost(green) bins were purchased for the space.  This will make sorting waste easier.  A great way to contribute is to pick stuff up you see hanging around and placing it the the appropriate bin.

A generous person has donated a tile cutter for the Dirty Shop!

Grants are being sought, and NB is looking for grant writers, copy editors, and assistance to find appropriate funding.  Help if you can!

This Saturday NB is hosting a social media tool hackathon at Noisebridge, at maybe let's say 7pm. There will be pizza. We're going to hack on stuff specifically for Noisebridge social media, integrations with Slack, Facebook, YouTube, maybe Tumblr or whatever. Basically the idea is to doocratize social media content.

John continues excellent work on NB's behalf, filling out tedious forms, keeping finances in order, and somehow finding time to clean the space.  Thanks John your hard work is appreciated.

I met the UPS delivery person at the door the other day.  He told me that Bob Ross was a drill sergeant in the Air Force!
