kanzure420,000 live viewers of the stream from the conference last year?08:13
JayDuggerHuh?08:13
kanzurethat sounds unreasonable08:13
JayDuggerI doubt it.08:13
kanzurehmm08:13
kanzureit's what lightman claims08:13
JayDugger4200?08:13
kanzureheh, let me check08:13
kanzure"What took me completely by surprise was how much fun people would have both in the conference and outside, how many people watched the live streaming (420,000!), and how much love people expressed for each other, and how many times people thanked me for the experience."08:14
JayDuggerI don't think the conference had enough scantily clad sex objects for that number.08:14
kanzurei don't think it had the *infrastructure* for that08:14

kanzureyou mean the weekly thing17:43

kanzureso that's you, me, meredith, len, mac, ian, derek, at the very least17:44
ybitya know...i proposed something like this to some fo the diybio folks here... an international diybio conference via second life 17:44
ybitbut i like the weekly meeting idea better... it's just like what the fab academy does without neil dictating the meetings17:45
kanzureheh17:45
kanzureinstead, it's bryan dictating!17:45
ybithaha17:45

kanzureTHERE WILL BE NO LAUGHTER17:45
JayDuggerWhat does mind.mx do?17:45

JayDuggerBwa-ha-ha-ha!17:45
kanzuremy maniacal laughter is the best ever17:45

JayDuggerHave you asked for an invite, Utopiah?17:47
ybiti actually attended one of the fab lab academy meetings via teleconference a couple of months back, they aren't doing anything hackerspaces aren't17:47
ybitit was basic electronics questions17:48
kanzureoh look, ybit is around for once17:48
kanzurehow are you?17:48
ybitello17:48
UtopiahJayDugger: yes :/ he (mark) is a bit sick for now so he wont manage this for a week. Ill ask him again then but I was still curious to know if others tried it17:48
ybitkanzure: i'm grrreat!17:48
Utopiah(makes me think I need to tell him about FluidDB.info )17:48
ybitthe eleventh hackerspace meeting just finished here17:49
Utopiahand 1 hacker space died in paris tonight :\17:49
ybitorly? what happened?17:49
Utopiahwas in a squat and the eviction process (finally) got applied, closing on Monday17:50
ybitoh17:50
JayDuggerDo you mean fluidinfo.com, Utopiah?17:50
ybiti thought that maybe it burned down or even better, blew up17:50
UtopiahJayDugger: correct17:50
ybitno burning after booms, just one big kaboom :)17:51

kanzurehm, openscad depends on OpenCSG but only for rendering?19:11
JayDuggerThis brings me closer to a zero exit status for "sudo skdb make-me nuclear-pulse-rocket" how?19:20
JayDuggerThought so. Get back to work!19:21
kanzureby getting people to type out parametric definitions of models in python, that are then converted to STEP models19:22

leptonIt's a worthy endeavour19:26
JayDuggerYou lost me at STEP models, kanzure.19:26
kanzurefenn: please check your inbox for paul's email.19:28
kanzurehe doesn't understand the difference between meshes and solid geometry, it seems19:28
kanzureand thinks i should be labor slaving for makerbot users? wtf19:28
kanzureJayDugger: STEP is a standard for representing solid geometry CAD models19:29
JayDuggerThanks, kanzure.19:29
kanzureright now makerbot users are fine with meshes, because that's what the software interprets19:30
kanzureso it just "works" for them19:30
kanzurebut meshes are not parametric19:30
kanzureit's like.. distributing a binary executable file instead of the source code19:30
JayDuggerCan you derive a mesh from a parametric model?19:30
QuantumGyep19:30
kanzureabsolutely!19:30
QuantumGdoing the opposite is the hard thing :)19:30
kanzurewhat's really cool is that if you define some parts in STEP, you can go open it up in solidworks, heekscad, or whatever else you want19:31
kanzureand then manipulate the fundamental objects and stuff19:31
JayDuggerThe OpenSCAD page mentioned STEP, but lacked links to it.19:31
kanzureand the idea of openscad, or some csg/python framework, is that you could do this with python scripts19:31
kanzureopenscad only generates meshes19:31
kanzureit's built on top of OpenCSG (for rendering) and CGAL (for the CSG in the background)19:32
kanzurebut CGAL is not quite OSI-compatible19:32
JayDuggerRight. It went over to heekscad, and others.19:32
JayDuggerCGAL names a library for CSG?19:32
kanzureyes19:32
kanzurehttp://www.cgal.org/19:32
kanzure"Computational Geometry Algorithms Library"19:32
kanzurehttp://opencsg.org/ is for *rendering* (via OpenGL IIRC?)19:33

kanzurenow, the pythonocc guys will claim they have one in the works as well.. in the file, uh, Level2.py i think19:34
kanzurebut it's never really got me interested19:34
kanzurecool, a pythonocc presentation to NASA: http://www.slideshare.net/tpaviot/pythonocc-pde2009-presentation19:36
leptonhey. that is cool!19:38
kanzurei'm hesitant to write any more code that depends on OCC19:39
leptonre: level2.py, are you referring to the PAF in general, or something more specific?19:39
kanzureOCC should be rewritten entirely19:39
kanzurethere's a specific example file19:39
kanzureaha, Level2API.py19:40
kanzurehttp://www.designfiles.org/lab/opencascade/Level2API.py19:40
kanzurebut it didn't feel very pythonic to me :P19:40
kanzurefenn and i did a better job IMHO with geom.py for some of our earlier SKDB work19:40
