3D printers bestaan al jaren. Tot voorkort waren het dure apparaten, die
slechts voor grote bedrijven betaalbaar waren. Niet iets waarmee een
kunstenaar, ontwerper of uitvinder zelfstandig aan de slag kan. Dankzij
de ontwikkeling van Open Source hardware is dat aan het veranderen.
Online Communities werken aan de ontwikkeling van Do-It-Yourself
alternatieven.
Inmiddels is er een bouwpakket 3D printer op de markt voor 750 euro en
kan je op internet diverse ontwerpen vinden die je zelf kan nabouwen.
Besturings-software, voorheen vaak nog duurder dan de printer zelf, is
gratis beschikbaar op internet.
In deze workshop vertel ik over mijn eigen ervaringen met de bouw van 3D
printers. Ik laat zien wat er nu aan software en hardware beschikbaar is
en waar we aan werken.

Keysigning party under the bridge – Wednesday May 6th
GPG is the free implementacion of the Pretty Good Privacy system. This allows you to sign and encrypt messages to other people, and if we sign each other our keys you can also verify that the person you know is who actually wrote the email.
Send your public key by mail to anybody from the #slug, and come over next Wednesday to get more people to sign it.
Encryption is not as complicated as it sounds, check out this howto for making your own gpg key in case you don’t have one yet, this video tutorial for using Thunderbird Enigmail plugin, and this other tutorials for GPG.
What you can bring to the party:
- Little pieces of paper with your gpg key information (specially your fingerprint).
- Fruits, tea, juice.
- You don’t need to take your computer
- You don’t need to take your id (Yes, in all the howtos talks about the ID but we don’t need it)
- Don’t forget to send your gpg public key to the organizer
What you will have after the party:
- A list of people you can mail encrypted mail with
- A list of keys to sign and make a bigger trust ring
- More information about gpg programs and gpg security
Why we do this:
Is important to increase the amount of encrypted mail to make it more difficult to analize and decrypt. The safety of encryption systems is a balance between the amount of information to decypher and the computing power of the spy… if we have enough encrypted mail they will never reach to decrypt the more importatn ones!

Python crash course in May
During the Saturdays of May 24th and May 31st, our fellow nerd caedes, who is staying in Amsterdam, is going to give a crash course in the Python programming language.
The Python language is a cross platform tool that allows you to do a lot of things. Many applications are written in it or use little pieces of python code. This is a course for people that already have an idea of what programming is (what is a loop, what is a variable and so on) but you don’t need to know anything about Python.
We think that good courses are the ones that leave a curious flock behind them that can later share newbie tricks and teach each other, and we would like to have at least 10 people joining the course for it to be a success. If we are more, we are going to be able to keep playing with it and learning together even when the course finishes.
If you are interested, drop us a note! slug[AT]lists.riseup.net
And if you still don’t know what a variable is, you still have time to learn before the course! It’s in May!
