'''''EDITING''''' - if you want to edit this wiki, you'll need an account to be created by the [[Wikigods]]<br />
<br />
==What is [http://www.skullspace.ca SkullSpace]?==<br />
SkullSpace is a [http://hackerspaces.org hackerspace] in Winnipeg. It is a place for hackers, builders, programmers, artists and anybody interested in how stuff works to gather in a common place and help focus and share their knowledge and creativity. Whether members are interested in individual or group projects, and whether they're tackling hardware, software, mathematical, design or any other problems, it's our goal to provide the space, tools, freedom, and education to make it happen.<br />
<br />
Our physical presence is 2500 sq. ft. of space on the 2nd floor of 374 Donald Street, right across from the Burton Cummings Theatre in the heart of the Exchange District.<br />
<br />
Our legal entity is a non-profit corporation within the province of Manitoba. We have a member-elected Board of Directors who also act as Officers consisting of:<br />
<br />
* Edwin Amsler<br />
* Kyle Martin<br />
* Michael Kozakewich<br />
* Pietra Shirley<br />
* Thor Robinson<br />
<br />
All Directors except Kyle and Thor can be reached by email at firstname.lastname @ skullspace.ca. Kyle or Thor can be reached with only their first names.<br />
<br />
In practice our membership operates as a collective, with members being as involved as much as they want to be in the decision making process. See our [[Bylaws]] for more information.<br />
<br />
Also see our [[Press]] coverage.<br />
<br />
If you're still unsure what SkullSpace is about, KQED has published a great [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamwklXWK4M short video] on what hackerspaces offer to the community.<br />
<br />
==Visiting SkullSpace==<br />
<br />
We are located on the second floor of 374 Donald Street in Winnipeg. ([https://www.google.com/maps/place/374+Donald+St/@49.8960111,-97.144483,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x52ea715dcf0040b3:0x83cc84d524e1bcfb Google Maps link])<br />
<br />
Meetings, which are open to the public, happen every Tuesday at 6pm. You can browse our previous [[Meeting notes]] archive to stay updated on what we discuss. '''Non-members are welcome to drop in'''!<br />
<br />
We also have a variety of events during the week and weekends - see our [[Community_Events|Calendar]] for a complete listing!<br />
<br />
==Contact us/Connect with SkullSpace==<br />
We have lots of ways to get in touch us!<br />
<br />
The best way to stay informed is by joining our [[Mailing List|mailing lists]]. We have two primary lists - announce@ and discuss@. All members and people interested should join announce@ - it's low traffic, with only a couple emails a week about our important events. If you're more interested in the community, join discuss@, which is high volume. Instructions are on the [[Mailing List]] wiki page.<br />
<br />
Our primary social media outlet is our [https://twitter.com/SkullSpaceWpg/ Twitter] page. You can also find SkullSpace on [https://www.facebook.com/SkullSpaceWpg Facebook].<br />
<br />
The other online place where you can find us is in our [irc://libera.chat/#SkullSpace irc channel], #SkullSpace on irc.libera.chat. You'll find constant traffic/discussion there. Kiwi IRC also offers a webchat client [https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/#SkullSpace here].<br />
<br />
SkullSpace also has a [http://www.meetup.com/Skullspace-Winnipegs-hackerspace/ Meetup] page and a [https://secure.flickr.com/photos/skullspace Flickr] page.<br />
<br />
==How do I join?==<br />
Easy! First you should show some interest showing up either online or physically as discussed above. If you like what you see, browse the [[:Category:Required Reading]] category on the wiki, which is the information that every member should know.<br />
<br />
Once you've done that, you can apply to become a member! Our membership dues are pay-what-you-can, with a minimum cost of $40/month ($20/month if you're a student). This gets you 24/7 access to the space along with everything else listed on the [[Member Benefits]] page. To apply, fill out the [[Media:Membership Agreement.doc|membership agreement]] and, if you choose, [[Media:SkullSpace PAD.pdf|pre-authorized debit form]]. Bring those forms (and a void cheque if you'd like to use pre-authorized debit) to a Tuesday meeting, if you can; otherwise, email info at skullspace.ca to make other arrangements.<br />
<br />
Your name will be emailed to the announce@ mailing list, and if nobody objects to your membership after two weeks you'll be handed a key.<br />
<br />
==Can I host events at your space?==<br />
The short answer: Absolutely!<br />
<br />
If you're hosting an event at the space, you'll need to coordinate with at least one SkullSpace member, for access. We generally don't give keys to non-members. Of course, becoming a member is easy, so you can simply become a member and have full access! See above for info!<br />
<br />
As early as possible, the event needs to be put in the [[Community Events|calendar]] and emailed to the discuss@ mailing list (discuss at skullspace.ca). If it's open to the public, you may also advertise it on the announce@ mailing list, both when it's planned and again shortly before the event as a reminder.<br />
<br />
We request that all events at the space be open to SkullSpace members, as the space belongs to us. We also request that you solicit donations for non-members who use our space. We currently don't charge to use our space, but if it becomes popular, and we don't make enough donations to be worth our while, we may start charging non-members.<br />

<br />
'''IRC - #skullspace on Libera.chat'''<br />
<br />
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a real-time text communications protocol. IRC uses a client/server model. IRC clients are applications that a user can install on their system (or run via a web site). Client applications to other clients via the server. IRC is designed for group discussion / forums and is organized into groups called called channels. It also allows for direct / personal messaging between connected users.<br />
<br />
The SkullSpace IRC channel is #skullspace on the Liberachat (irc.libera.chat) network. There are almost always SkullSpace members online.<br />
<br />
* To use IRC you will need an IRC Client. Client software is available for all major operating systems and mobile platforms or you can use Liberachat's online [https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/&23;SkullSpace webchat] client.<br />
** [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/clients/unix/ Linux]<br />
** [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/clients/windows/ Windows]<br />
** [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/clients/mac/ Macintosh]<br />
* Connect to the #skullspace channel on Liberachat<br />
** Follow the instructions for your client to connect to the Liberachat network and join the #skullspace channel<br />
** For more detailed instructions on using IRC for the first time, see [http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/new2irc.html IRCHelp.org]<br />

Let's set up our own BBS and we can spend the time recording what we're doing for publishing on YouTube.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, here are some popular servers and resources that people should know:<br />

'''Intro:'''<br />
<br />
Hi, welcome to Skullspace.<br />
<br />
Before the internet, computers would use your home phone to post social media messages to these bulletin board systems. We called them BBS's!<br />
<br />
This was one of the very first forms of online forums. All across Canada, and the US, we had people phoning each other and these BBS systems until the 90s when you could sign up for dial-up internet.<br />
<br />
* Winnipeg was the BBS capital of Canada<br />
* Several BBS's running out of here and we even had a school running BBS<br />
<br />
Today we're going to walk you through using a BBS so you can experience the fun with us and later if you want you can connect to a BBS yourself on your own computer.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, let's get into it.<br />
<br />
'''Outro:'''<br />
<br />
Hey thanks for watching, we hope you learned a lot and had fun. Next time will explore setting our own BBS.<br />
<br />
We're Skullspace and we're open on Tuesdays so if you're in town feel free to drop in and say hi. <br />
<br />
We'll see you next time here at Skullspace where we'll explore more of BBS's and other technology.<br />

**Intro:**<br />
<br />
Hi, welcome to skullspace.<br />
<br />
Before the internet, computers would use your home phone to post social media messages to these bulletin board systems. We called them BBS's!<br />
<br />
This was one of the very first forms of online forums. All across Canada, and the US, we had people phoning each other and these BBS systems until the 90s when you could sign up for dial-up internet.<br />
<br />
* Winnipeg was the BBS capital of Canada<br />
* Several BBS's running out of here and we even had a school running BBS<br />
<br />
Today we're going walk you through using a BBS so you can experience the fun with us and later if you want you can connect to a BBS yourself on your own computer.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, let's get into it.<br />
<br />
**Outro:**<br />
<br />
Hey thanks for watching, we hope you learned a lot and had fun. Next time will explore setting our own BBS.<br />
<br />
We're skullspace in Winnipeg, we're a hackerspace. We're open on Tuesdays so if you're in town feel free to drop in and say hi. <br />
<br />
<br />
We'll see you next time here at Skullspace.<br />

=== Demand for coworking in Winnipeg ===<br />
<br />
There is considerable demand for coworking in Winnipeg as evidenced by new coworking spaces opening in the Exchange and in Osborne village recently. We can be easily competitive with their market rates.<br />
<br />
=== Why coworking can work at SkullSpace ===<br />
<br />
SkullSpace is a 24/7 2500 sq. ft. facility with desks, Internet, a kitchen, and private bathrooms. Being in a secure building behind a key-fobbed door make it ideal on the face of it for SkullSpace to be a coworking space already. The ideal vibe of the place isn't in line with what a modern coworking space can provide which is certainly 'clean and bright'. Both of those require capital and operational expenses for SkullSpace.<br />
<br />
The operational expense is ensuring the space is organized and clean on a regular basis by someone who is monetarily compensated to do it. $150 a month would be a goal for us to meet to have a cleaner come out 3-4 times a month.<br />
<br />
The capital expenses are much larger and harder to deal with.<br />
<br />
Our budget each month is razor thin where even $150 a month for 3-4 visits from a person designated to clean would run down our reserve close to that and our reserve as of 2019-10-31 is about $6000(?). We've been much lower too β our recent anti-social netted us $1700 and we also recently had a windfall of around $2000 from renting the space temporarily for filming.<br />

<br />
=== Demand for coworking in Winnipeg ===<br />
<br />
There is considerable demand for coworking in Winnipeg as evidenced by new coworking spaces opening in the Exchange and in Osborne village recently. We can be easily competitive with their market rates.<br />
<br />
=== Why coworking can work at SkullSpace ===<br />
<br />
SkullSpace is a 24/7 2500 sq. ft. facility with desks, Internet, a kitchen, and private bathrooms. Being in a secure building behind a key-fobbed door make it ideal on the face of it for SkullSpace to be a coworking space already. The ideal vibe of the place isn't in line with what a modern coworking space can provide which is certainly 'clean and bright'. Both of those require capital and operational expenses for SkullSpace.<br />
<br />
The operational expense is ensuring the space is organized and clean on a regular basis by someone who is monetarily compensated to do it. $150 a month would be a goal for us to meet to have a cleaner come out 3-4 times a month.<br />
<br />
The capital expenses are much larger and harder to deal with.<br />
<br />
Our budget each month is razor thin where even $150 a month for 3-4 visits from a person designated to clean would run down our reserve close to that and our reserve as of 2019-10-31 is about $6000(?). We've been much lower too β our recent anti-social netted us $1700 and we also recently had a windfall of around $2000 from renting the space temporarily for filming.<br />

=== Demand for coworking in Winnipeg ===<br />
<br />
There is considerable demand for coworking in Winnipeg as evidenced by new coworking spaces opening in the Exchange and in Osborne village recently. We can be easily competitive with their market rates.<br />
<br />
=== Why coworking can work at SkullSpace ===<br />
<br />
SkullSpace is a 24/7 2500 sq. ft. facility with desks, Internet, a kitchen, and private bathrooms. Being in a secure building behind a key-fobbed door make it ideal on the face of it for SkullSpace to be a coworking space already. The ideal vibe of the place isn't in line with what a modern coworking space can provide which is certainly 'clean and bright'. Both of those require capital and operational expenses for SkullSpace.<br />
<br />
The operational expense is ensuring the space is organized and clean on a regular basis by someone who is monetarily compensated to do it. $150 a month would be a goal for us to meet to have a cleaner come out 3-4 times a month.<br />
<br />
The capital expenses are much larger and harder to deal with.<br />
<br />
Our budget each month is razor thin where even $150 a month for 3-4 visits from a person designated to clean would run down our reserve close to that and our reserve as of 2019-10-31 is about $6000(?). We've been much lower too β our recent anti-social netted us $1900 and we also recently had a windfall of around $2000 from renting the space temporarily for filming.<br />

<hr />
<div>SkullSpace members occasionally come together to work on special tasks. These strikeforces are usually formed on-the-fly.<br />
<br />
See [[Strikeforce:Meta]] for more information on Strikeforces, or see [[:Category:Strikeforces]] for an unabridged list.<br />
<br />
==Protocol==<br />
SkullSpace strikeforces are fairly casual&mdash;we create them any time we want to come together and solve a problem, and they end whenever that problem is solved or becomes too trivial to care about.<br />
<br />
To create a strikeforce, add it below with a name, a leader, a description, and a list of members. The leader will be responsible for making sure all members are in the loop, and will be the contact point for anyone else interested in their work.<br />
<br />
If you want to join a strikeforce, add your name into the list of members and send the leader a message. Ask some of the other members what's gone on so far.<br />
<br />
Strikeforces are working-group scratch pads. The content inside a strikeforce is usually deleted as duties change and events are completed, so it is generally not archivable. Always create proper event pages for events, and create separate informational pages when necessary. This way we can archive those pages after we're finished with them, rather than deleting that content entirely.<br />
<br />
==Current Strikeforces==<br />
(For freshness, newer or updated Strikeforces are closer to the top and will be moved upwards as news comes in.)<br />
<br />
Each strikeforce requires a description, a leader, a list of members (which can be empty), and any important notes.<br />

===[[Strikeforce:Blade|Strikeforce Blade]]===<br />
* Discussing the merits of a blade server, and potentially pooling some money towards a full set<br />
* Leader: Chris Kluka (asdlkf@asdlkf.net)<br />
* Members: Chris, AMichael, ...[Mark? Etc?]<br />
* Objective: As a result of the power and heat/cooling requirements, and also a lack of remote monitoring and services modules, SkullSpace would like to aquire or build a mainframe-type system. This system would consist of one(or more) hypervisors hosting one(or more) virtual machines. <br />
* Possible Scope: Either one large VM server, or a cluster of servers (such as a blade center) to be built/acquired and configured for SkullSpace member access. Key goals include remote system restart, multitenancy, and power usage reduction (compared to the current solution of several individual servers). <br />
* End Result: A single large VM server is likely to fulfill many of our needs&mdash;and use less electricity. A debate may be held in the future to determine how blades or a single server would help us.<br />

**Enclosed area behind racks so hot air goes outside<br />
**Put strikes on battery backup or built-in voltage upconverter so the cheap chinese strikes get the 15v they need to work from the 12v supply - I got $3 step-up converter from ebay to fix this.<br />
**ac/fan situation<br />
**Get huge ups working or buy another<br />
**Install electrical lines for UPS, AC<br />
**put camera in server room?<br />
**Networking - get cisco switches working as internet-side switches instead of limited dlinks<br />
**Get public server going with traffic graphs from routers, switches, monitoring of which services are up, alerting on failure.<br />
**Some type of power/temperature/smoke alerting that can also kill the breaker<br />
**make sure there's a fire extinguisher, check if there's any possible way to have cheap/safe halon-like system.<br />

===[[Strikeforce:Blade|Strikeforce Blade]]===<br />
* Discussing the merits of a blade server, and potentially pooling some money towards a full set<br />
* Leader: Chris Kluka (asdlkf@asdlkf.net)<br />
* Members: Chris, AMichael, ...[Mark? Etc?]<br />
* Objective: As a result of the power and heat/cooling requirements, and also a lack of remote monitoring and services modules, SkullSpace would like to aquire or build a mainframe-type system. This system would consist of one(or more) hypervisors hosting one(or more) virtual machines. <br />
* Possible Scope: Either one large VM server, or a cluster of servers (such as a blade center) to be built/acquired and configured for SkullSpace member access. Key goals include remote system restart, multitenancy, and power usage reduction (compared to the current solution of several individual servers). <br />
* End Result: A single large VM server is likely to fulfill many of our needs&mdash;and use less electricity. A debate may be held in the future to determine how blades or a single server would help us.<br />

===[[Strikeforce:Server Room|Server Room / Networking]]===<br />
*Members: CStanners, AlexWeber, MarkJenkins<br />
*Todo:<br />
**Rack between racks<br />
**Buy patch cables, install the patch panel, terminate all lines to it<br />
**make sure all lines are labeled and wikied<br />
**Enclosed area behind racks so hot air goes outside<br />
**Put strikes on battery backup or built-in voltage upconverter so the cheap chinese strikes get the 15v they need to work from the 12v supply - I got $3 step-up converter from ebay to fix this.<br />
**ac/fan situation<br />
**Get huge ups working or buy another<br />
**Install electrical lines for UPS, AC<br />
**put camera in server room?<br />
**Networking - get cisco switches working as internet-side switches instead of limited dlinks<br />
**Get public server going with traffic graphs from routers, switches, monitoring of which services are up, alerting on failure.<br />
**Some type of power/temperature/smoke alerting that can also kill the breaker<br />
**make sure there's a fire extinguisher, check if there's any possible way to have cheap/safe halon-like system.<br />

<hr />
<div>Coworking an arrangement in which several workers from different companies share an office space ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking Wikipedia]). This page will describe the coworking proposal for SkullSpace.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Demand for coworking in Winnipeg ==<br />
<br />
There is considerable demand for coworking in Winnipeg as evidenced by new coworking spaces opening in the Exchange and in Osborne village recently. We can be easily competitive with their market rates.<br />
<br />
== Why coworking can work at SkullSpace ==<br />
<br />
SkullSpace is a 24/7 2500 sq. ft. facility with desks, Internet, a kitchen, and private bathrooms. Being in a secure building behind a key-fobbed door make it ideal on the face of it for SkullSpace to be a coworking space already. The ideal vibe of the place isn't in line with what a modern coworking space can provide which is certainly 'clean and bright'. Both of those require capital and operational expenses for SkullSpace.<br />
<br />
The operational expense is ensuring the space is organized and clean on a regular basis by someone who is monetarily compensated to do it. $150 a month would be a goal for us to meet to have a cleaner come out 3-4 times a month.<br />
<br />
The capital expenses are much larger and harder to deal with.<br />
<br />
Our budget each month is razor thin where even $150 a month for 3-4 visits from a person designated to clean would run down our reserve close to that and our reserve as of 2019-10-31 is about $6000(?). We've been much lower too β our recent anti-social netted us $1900 and we also recently had a windfall of around $2000 from renting the space temporarily for filming.</div>Nitrodisthttps://wiki.skullspace.ca/index.php?title=Meeting_notes&diff=4763Meeting notes2017-12-13T01:01:31Z<p>Nitrodist: 2017-12-12 weekly meeting notes</p>

* Lively discussion of how to generate revenue and events for Skullspace<br />
** Liquor licensing in the space<br />
*** Have to get space up to code and investigate what blockers there are (fire inspection)<br />
*** There should be past emails to investigate what is exactly needed<br />
** Running weekly/monthly events at a bar<br />
** Promote Skullspace as a coworking space<br />
** If we can separate the classroom from the rest of the space, we can make the classroom nicer and then potentially host events there (small scale dance parties?)<br />
** Running classes for things that our members are good at<br />
*** programming/3d printer/CNC Router/Soldering, video games, art, designing things<br />
