3D printer[edit]
- buy at different places / different brands to test (PLA and ABS and PVA)
- Weigh the prints, pay per gram + 25% = decided by majority
- make a banner to explain this
- Idea rises to train newbies | when trained you get the password of the dedicated PC connected to the 3D printer
- second thoughts were added, we will trust in users of the printer their intelligence and self-assessment
- Idea rises to (help Lulzbot) develop the firmware and hardware, to optimize the printer
- For future printing with multiple extruders: hack together a rotary encoder to measure the length (and thus weigth) OR weigh the beginning roll and end state of the roll
- Reservation and scheduling system to be implemented
Movie[edit]
- with android lifelike robot by moviestudent guy brought by A.
- pointed him to imal and constant
- Will come back next week
- Nice project

3rd Open-UDC meeting in BXL - Universal Dividend Cryptocurrency summit - Bxl Commons Festival
What is Open-UDC :
it's a protocol for a system of digital cryptocurrency that respect the 4 economic liberties, as defined in the Relative Currency Theory by Stephane Laborde - these are inspired by the 4 liberties toward the software by R. M. Stallman -, and that implement the principle of Universal Dividend / Basic Income. (note : it's not a fork of Bitcoin - it's way better …) Brussels Commons Festival :
It's a wandering festival that explores the Commons, how they are actually managed/distributed and how we could do better. Each time a different place and a different subject (past editions : land - technology - water ) The meeting :
The idea is to gather thinkers and tinkerers, theoreticians, practitioners of the commons, and developpers in a 3 days event around the ideas of universal dividend/basic income and digital peer-to-peer currencies between 16 and 19 April 2014 :
16 - from Basic Income to TRM and Open-UDC : theories and practice toward a distributive free monetary system
