- A short “DIYbio Code of Ethics” was posted at arcollab.org; participants criticized it for being drafted in secret by a small in-person group and ignoring the wider community.  
- The open-protocol sharing site “open-protocol” (GitHub: dbikard/open-protocol) was abandoned after the team failed to secure funding.  
- kanzure is developing “lolcad,” a lightweight Python/OpenGL CAD library intended to bypass the pain of using the OpenCASCADE solid-modeling kernel.  
- delinquentme, who has a pirated full copy of SolidWorks, is debating whether to send SolidWorks the CAD files for the LH002 project as a demonstration of value created with their software.  
- Magnetic finger-implant sensory augmentation was discussed; kanzure linked his curated paper collections on longevity, microfluidics, neurotech, bio, stem-cells, and nanotech as background reading.  
- A request for an easy-to-share, non-technical introduction to SKDB (and a comparison page versus similar projects like Appropedia or USPTO) was noted; none currently exists.  
- delinquentme asked about iGEM and BioBricks; kanzure pointed to biobricks.org and partsregistry.org as starting points for understanding standardized genetic parts.  
- Travel plans to the Open Science Summit were confirmed; delinquentme will bring a first prototype peristaltic pump and wondered whether TSA will allow a stepper motor in checked luggage.
