kanzuresubject: Invitation to expert workshop on the future of open fabrication (Institute for the Future)07:23
kanzure"Dear Bryan,07:23
kanzureI am writing to invite you to participate in a day-long expert workshop on the future of open fabrication, being held at Institute for the Future in Palo Alto, CA. The workshop will take place on March 1, 2011, and your input will shape a major forecast study. I discovered your work through the Google Open Manufacturing group. I think you bring a great perspective as a young leader in this field."07:23

Lukas_Hello Lichen10:35
licheni'll probably still keep #biohack up for the biohack.me magnet/southpaw people10:35
lichenbut i'll be here too10:35
kanzureis there any particular reason biohack.me created yet another site for this?10:35
lichenidk10:36
lichenimo that's not a bad thing10:36
lichenit means that the community/field is growing10:37
kanzure'course10:37
Lukas_true10:37
Lukas_Are you guys working on any projects?10:38
kanzuresouthpaw/magnets10:38
lichenthat community is mostly focused on magnet implants and southpaw stuff10:38
lichenlepht's shit basically10:38
kanzurelichen: here was my public response to the wired article:10:38
kanzurehttp://exi-chat.blogspot.com/2011/01/exi-transcending-human-diy-style.html10:38
kanzurelepht is more of a liability imho10:38

licheni wouldnt really call shoving a manget in your finger transhumanism, although i plan on pursuing it myself10:39
lichenmagnet*10:40
kanzurei know transhumanists who have done it10:40
kanzurei think it is related, but definitely more about grinding/bodymods10:40
lichenyes10:40
lichenlepht isnt flying under the transhumanist banner10:40
kanzurethat's not what the article made it seem like :P10:41
lichenand biohack.me is more a grinding/piercing site10:41

kanzurehaha wtf12:09
lichenthere's 8 people in there12:09
lichenand they're not a following12:10
licheni just made it for biohack.me's community to talk12:10

jebbakanzure, what about really using yum/apt for skdb?  For instance a bolt.spec would have the overview, license, description, etc.  The the package is just basically the various files, which is freeform (e.g. perhaps jpgs, .stl, .txt, etc.).    Then you can put all the dependenices in the package itself, `yum install mendel-prusa` and it grabs all the various .rpms/.debs.   Such packages can also be installed as non-root if needed.14:54

jrayhawkThe dependency resolution is not really powerful enough; you'd eventually want things like dynamicly weighted costs to different sets of dependencies15:15
jrayhawki.e. I have a box of screws, and I also have a CNC machine and steel that could make screws, and I also have a reprap that could make terrible plastic screws, but these things have a different level of cost and effectiveness15:18
jrayhawkso you need weighting for time costs versus monetary costs versus part lifetime, etc.15:21
jrayhawkand aptitude isn't really a particularly good interface for modifying the dependency resolution, though I guess they'd probably be open to that.15:23

That's what should drive the cost down and make it easier for mods to be done in areas where the laws on modifications are tricky, not someone playing fast and loose in their kitchen.'18:21
@kanzure"playing fast and loose" is fine18:21

jebbakanzure would be cool to tie in skdb to http://frontaccounting.com/   then you could pull in parts, order them, account for them, manufacture many with a bit of organization, etc....18:31
@kanzurejebba: or via http://octopart.com/18:31
@kanzurei committed an octopart api interface actually18:31
@kanzurebut it's not functional / not interfaced into skdb-get18:32
@kanzurejebba: http://www.arenasolutions.com/18:32
jebbayes, octopart is cool too. But serves a different purpose than frontaccounting, which is an accounting package. It has inventories, manufacturing processes etc built into it.18:32
@kanzureyeah check out arenasolutions.com instead18:33
@kanzurethis is quickly entering the small-time pdm/plm market18:33
jebbameh, not free software18:33
@kanzurefrontaccounting is?18:33
jebbayes.18:33
jebbai run my own installation.18:33
jebbagplv3 iirc18:34
@kanzureit looks like a basic web app.. what's their data model?18:34
jebbaphp/mysql18:34
@kanzurehaha ok18:34
@kanzureso.. they just make lots of tables, and users enter it via the web interface?18:34
jebbaya, which is pretty much accounting.18:34
jebbajust lots of SQL records.18:34
@kanzurealso, i should distinguish between shop management (frontaccounting) versus plm/pdm stuff (product development and lifecycle)18:35
@kanzureshop management is probably more relevant in this conversation18:36
jebbahmm, unfortunately their screenshots dont have the manufacturing screens (and mine are empty data)18:36
@kanzureheh18:36
@kanzureso, i would really like to have hackerspaces running on linux18:37

jebbafor now just gathering other ones and assembling them!  But are starting process of sourcing material for kits, and will build out18:39
@kanzurejebba: a random web app i wrote once was called project projector18:40
@kanzureit distributed instructions to multiple people over sms18:40
@kanzureso you could write programs involving multiple free-moving agents across a city or even in a buildin18:40
jebbaMy first assembler/builder is coming by tomorrow.  I'm working with Kai Staats (formerly Yellow Dog Linux etc) on getting production bootstrapped.18:40
@kanzurei was thinking of using this for assembly of.. things.. but in reality, you just need to (1) generate the assembly plan / instructions for each user only once, and then (2) just make sure each user knows their specific task; it's not a super dynamic thing18:41
jebbahah, rad.18:41
@kanzure*building18:41
jebbai'll /msg info for logging in to check out frontaccounting18:42

jebbaah, i did an old kanzure_  1 sec18:44
jebbaok good18:45
@kanzurejebba: so you do manual inventory typeups?18:45
jebbawell, so far none have been done18:46
-!- strages [~809e4e63@dev.throwthemind.com] has quit [Quit: CGI:IRC (Session timeout)]18:47
jebbaso they could be done manually or a SQL dump, i suppose.18:47
jebbaCheck Manufacturing and Items and Inventory tabs18:47
jebbaBut ya, presumably someone just do some manual data entry for the BoMs and such.18:48
@kanzurebtw i definitely want to make a 'basecamp for manufacturing' at some point in the near future18:48
@kanzurethis is definitely close.. it seems to have a comprehensive understanding of what needs to be present18:49
@kanzurehow's the integration? like do you have to manually mess with mysql to dump new types of data or anything18:49
jebbaand is free software. Very responsive forums too.18:49
@kanzurelots of users?18:49
jebbaWell, healthy forums is a good sign.18:50
jebbaincluding the devs18:50
jebbaWell, I suppose what it is your dumping. I havent seen much for import/export via the GUI (except their easy backup page).18:50
@kanzuredo they host instances of this for you or do you have to deploy on your own?18:51
jebbaThough getting data in/out of mysql is about as easy as it gets.  I'm not so sure how great their TABLE design and such is. I havent looked closely (and honestly cant remember enough to even properly evaluate it, heh)18:51
@kanzurei agree with you about mysql.. i used to do tons of php app development18:51
jebbaThey may do hosted instances as part of their business model, but I don't know. I just put it on lenny.18:51
@kanzurehave you ever used basecamp?18:52
jebbano, but have seen it in passing18:52
@kanzurehosted instances of project management is basically the business model for 37signals18:52
@kanzureso 'basecamp for manufacturing' is an obvious thing that needs to happen.. :P18:52
jebbaDo they distribute the code to the project management software?18:52
@kanzureno18:53
@kanzurethey are evil18:53
jebbaah, then they are meaningless to me  ;)18:53
jebbai was actually thinking barcamp when you mentioned it too, i think  (!)18:53
@kanzurenamespace conflict18:53
@kanzureyeah i still have trouble comprehending the sheer weirdness of companies that pay $100,000+ for installing software like this18:54
@kanzurei'm sure it happens... but wow.18:55
jebbaBasically this is the smallest piece: https://accounting.alephobjects.com/inventory/manage/items.php?18:55
@kanzurelol what's an 'item'?18:55
jebbawell, i thought i was going to have to have a bunch of it written. I was damn happy to come across the app...18:55
jebbaI would assume that would be a screw etc18:55
jebbathen I think kits get made out of items: https://accounting.alephobjects.com/inventory/manage/sales_kits.php?18:56
jebbahttps://accounting.alephobjects.com/manufacturing/manage/bom_edit.php?    but that needs items first (e.g. need to create a screw entry before you can create a BOM)18:57
@kanzureyeah being able to dump skdb packages into it would be nice.. especially if it could allocate resources, read inventories, etc.18:58
@kanzure"need to hire 2 people to have this built within the 2 day window you requested"18:58
@kanzurethere's also a set of other apps that need to exist as well18:58
@kanzurelike basic management of cnc machines over a netwrok18:58
jebbaI keep getting "There are no manufactured or kit items defined in the system." though i thought i made a kit, hmm.19:06
jebbawouldnt it be cool to apt-get a part and a fedex truck comes rushing towards you?19:23
@kanzureyes19:23
jebbafrontaccounting can trigger reorders as well. The docs for this thing are like zero though.19:23
@kanzureone idea is a premium kit packaging service.. an interesting alternative is automatic scrapers for filling out forms on supplier sites ;)19:24

kanzurealso i left some notes in the irc logs (yesterday?) for how to fix your local skdb.git.. sorry about the ikiwiki fuckup commits21:22
fennyes, thanks for making that page21:23
fenni havent pulled anything from skdb.git, ; can't you just fix it there?21:23
kanzurei did fix it21:23
kanzurecheck your copy.. i bet you have the spurious merges in there21:23

kanzureall this text makes me sad though22:25
kanzurei don't have time to read through 7,000,000 patents22:25
jebbacubespawn? the first commits are binaries to a git repo...22:26
kanzurejebba: cubespawn is an 80/20 gridbeam project for standard frames for manufacturing processes or something22:29
kanzureas for the text thing i mean appropedia- there's good content hidden on there; same with marcin jakubowski's openfarmtech wiki and global village construction set.. but again, these are just wikis22:29
AlonzoTG1om22:36
kanzurereprap.org wiki too..22:41
AlonzoTG1I guess rep-rap is the future but it can't really do anything more than trinkets right now. =\22:43
kanzureum.. what makes you say that22:44
AlonzoTG1I want the rep-rap that can fab me a GF. =P22:44
jrayhawkromance wasn't built in a day22:44
AlonzoTG1I still need a spline cut.22:45
jebbaits own parts it prints are quite solid.22:46
AlonzoTG1I also need a motor mount that can carry the weight of the motor in my electric car... and hold the drive shaft in place, it will have to be fairly large too to accomplish those tasks.22:47
jrayhawkthat sounds like a job for rubber and metal, rather than plastic22:51
jrayhawkand some bearings22:51
AlonzoTG1yep.22:51
AlonzoTG1Eggzacktlie.22:52
kanzureAlonzoTG1: then why not use the metal-printing repraps?22:52
AlonzoTG1????22:53
kanzureit just seems like you're complaining just to complain :(22:53
AlonzoTG1The motor weighs about 150 lbs...22:53
jrayhawkhttp://reprap.org/wiki/SpoolHead huh, didn't know about that22:54
kanzureyeah reprap has a lot of ridiculously obscure stuff going on22:55
* kanzure is still wanting jmil to release his reprap + tissue printing work22:56
jrayhawkoh, they're not actually welding. how silly.22:56
kanzureyeah.. wrong reprap for welding. timschmidt which one was doing TIG?22:57
timschmidtnone, yet23:01
* timschmidt was thinking of strapping his wire-fed flux core welder to a mendel just to get something started23:04
timschmidtthere's been a lot of talk in this area, but no real action23:04
jrayhawkI guess plaster casting is a more satisfactory solution in most ways anyway23:04
