kanzurei haven't downloaded the images and files yet for each project12:48
kanzurealso, i am not capturing "tools this depends on" or discussion data or license data 12:49

kanzureit's not even piranha that you're looking to use, is it?17:57
fennit's basically chlorine-free bleach17:58
fennchris meyer (the guy who brought in a 90% complete repstrap) told me i should teach a class on circuit etching as a way to bootstrap people feeling comfortable about having chemicals around17:59
fennwhy do you think melanie has deep pockets?18:02
fenn"independent technology analyst" doesnt seem like a lucrative profession18:03

kanzureupdated, now with license metadata and tiny images/thumbnails 18:47
fennhow long did that take to scrape?18:48
kanzureno more than 3h but probbaly less18:49
kanzurei had various interruptions in between and didn't grab everything at once18:49
kanzure*rpobably18:49
kanzure*probably18:49
kanzurei should probably grab the discussion stuff on each project page :/ and the tools required to build it (but i don't expect this to be thorough or useful)18:50
kanzurei was sitting around at the shop today and could have really used an skdb/generated tutorial (even if it was just 2min) on how to use a table saw "properly"19:03
kanzureprimarily i really wanted an ordering system hooked up to BOMs and skdb packages :( but this doesn't exist yet19:04

kanzuremanufacturers tend to update their catalogs and so on19:28
kanzurefor electronics, the components keep the names19:28
kanzurebut i can imagine "oh we don't offer that size any more" and other weird things from non-electronics suppliers19:29
kanzure(especially in cases where hardware hasn't been commotized)19:29
kanzure*commoditized19:29
kanzurefenn: please check your inbox re: "proofread 'Call for Volunteers'"19:55
kanzurewas wondering if i could get your thoughts on that.. jacob is biting off a lot to chew all at once19:56
kanzureand i fear that he doesn't actually have the ideas developed well enough to do a launch19:56
kanzure"Income distribution within producer cooperatives is structured along egalitarian principles. Either peer pressure or cooperative bylaws see to it that, depending on their skill-level, members receive equal pay for equal work while differences in the number of hours worked are minimized."20:06
kanzure"Most cooperatives institute income differential constraints. In terms of voting weight, and unlike a CF, the principle of one-person one-vote applies independent of member's percentage share of ownership. "20:07

kanzurei am surprised that debian is not a cooperative, even though it has the same structure20:21
kanzurei think before jacob launches gnusha for me, we should have (1) the open source hardware licensing issue resolved (TAPR + non-assert pledges), (2) debian social contract equivalent, (3) debian free software/hardware guidelines equivalent, (4) and then the co-op constitution thingy (like what the voting is going to be like etc.)20:22
kanzureor not necessarily TAPR but.. yeah.20:23
fennperhaps old news: http://numptyphysics.garage.maemo.org/21:09
fenni dont know what is involved in a "launch" or even what that means21:10

kanzurehe forwarded what he considered to be a "launch"21:19
kanzureand i forwarded that to you, plus another email21:19
fennwah. you're not paying me to read emails :P21:24
kanzureone of these days we're really going to have to figure out who is paying who (even if it's just hypothetical)21:28
