Hi All - I sent this through to the hackerspace list for the GGHC, but thought I would submit here as well to add to the discussion. Here is my original email in it's entirety. <div>""</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "> I just finished uploading the first official videos from the Faire. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on the topic and content. <br clear="all">
<br><div>This is the full edit and closing comments (as a little teaser) of the Future of Education panel. I LOVED getting to hear Mitch, Jeri, and Ben's thoughts on how education in the US could improve. Not only was it great insight, but it sparked tons of commentary for the rest of the weekend. It was amazing to hang out after the panel and get to talk to and listen to those who had attended. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I really think that we've all tapped into something here, and hopefully we're just scraping the surface of people's passions about improving the systems that are currently in place. </div>

I read that a:<br>
"Our business-centric government is gutting education to allow more<br>
taxbreaks for the wealthy. That has caused education to become an<br>
externality to them, an externality now WE are picking up the tab<br>
on."<br>
<br>
If you care about education, yes, work on it directly yourself. But<br>
also burn an hour to call all of your representatives, and tell them<br>
you are concerned. Things like 'Intro Python' need to be part of our<br>
standard education system. Instead they are outsourced to the whim a<br>
bunch of hobbiests educating in their free-time like you and me.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Long time reader, first time poster. (I get digests here mostly.)<br>
<br>
We've been working at DIY Book Scanners that non-destructively scan books at Ace Monster Toys in Oakland.<br>
<br>
Looking at the below comments on old textbooks, I wonder if it would make sense for a bunch of hackerspaces to get out of print manuals and technical books and do a concerted effort to scan them in, at least into image-based PDFs. This could act as a resource for beginning to put together curriculums.<br>

I think this is a great idea. There is a print publisher that already does this:<br>

<a href="http://www.lindsaybks.com/" target="_blank">http://www.lindsaybks.com/</a><br>
<br>
We use their "How to Run a Lathe" (HTRAL for short) to teach people<br>

Cool ideas. I had forgotten about lindsay books. Great resource.<br>
Anyone start a wiki page on Hackerspace.org yet? I'm in yosemite or is do it<br>
myself..<br>
<br>
BTW <a href="http://schoolfactory.org" target="_blank">schoolfactory.org</a> is a loose collection of hackerspaces that is working<br>
on sharing knowledge and helping people start spaces. They hosted a day2<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Just a reminder that the Layer One conference is going to be this<br>
weekend. If anyone is planning to be on the West Coast, you should<br>
come by. Null Space Labs, 23b Shop, and Crash Space will all be in<br>
attendance. It would be great to hang out!<br>
<br>
Phoenix and Vegas people: It's hot. Come down to Anaheim. We'll find<br>
you a place to crash.<br>
Everyone else: It may or may not be hot. Come down, and we'll also hook you up.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Arclight<br>

TL;DR:<br>
Layer One Security Conference<br>
May 28-29, 2011<br>
Anaheim, CA (Anaheim Marriott)<br>
<a href="http://www.layerone.org" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org</a><br>
<br>
<br>
From: LayerOne Staff<br>
<br>
Hey guys,<br>
<br>
LayerOne is about a month away and we've been putting up a lot more<br>
information about the conference on the website (<a href="http://www.layerone.org" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org</a>).<br>
<br>
For those that don't know, LayerOne is our local security/hacking conference<br>
a few of us locals host in Anaheim, CA.<br>
<br>
This will be the 7th annual L1 conference and there are a lot of<br>
great new things this year. We've just finalized our speaker<br>
selection, you can see the whole list of speakers and descriptions of<br>
their talks at <a href="http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=85" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=85</a>.<br>
<br>
The conference will also feature areas dedicated to hands-on fun:<br>
Lockpicking Village - Learn about locks, safes, lockpicking, and<br>
safecracking. Get hands-on instruction, mini-talks, and workshops from<br>
real G's like Schuyler Towne, Deviant Ollam (author of Practical<br>
Lockpicking), Jon King, scorche, and datagram. More information at<br>
<a href="http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=105" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=105</a><br>
<br>
Hardware Hacking Village - Learn about electronics and blinky lights.<br>
This year's badge is a PCB that can be worked on in the HHV to turn it<br>
into a fully functional synthesizer! The many NSL projects, such as<br>
the Cylon and the AnnaLogic will also be available to those who want<br>
more projects to work on. More information at<br>
<a href="http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=109" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=109</a><br>
<br>
Contests - To go with the above areas, there will be a badge hacking<br>
contest and a number of lockpicking contests sponsored by TOOOL USA<br>
and Locksport International. Datagram & Jon King will be hosting a<br>
Tamper Evident Contest that deals with defeating "tamper proof" and<br>
"tamper evident" technologies; products that are designed to be<br>
bulletproof against surreptitious entry, modification, or removal.<br>
More contest info at <a href="http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=45" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=45</a>.<br>
<br>
NSL is playing a big part in L1, with most of the staff being NSL<br>
keyholders and all of the hardware hacking equipment and volunteers<br>
coming from NSL. We hope to see all the rest of the NSL members there,<br>
and we'd also love to see members of the other hackerspaces in the<br>
area attend and join in on the fun.<br>
<br>
You can pre-register for the conference at<br>
<a href="http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=87" target="_blank">http://www.layerone.org/?page_id=87</a>. Pre-registration is $100 USD, and<br>
it will be $140 at the door. Save money and register now! Members of<br>
LA2600 and NSL can get a 20$ pre-registration discount, see MMCA or me<br>
for details.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to forward this<br>
email to anyone you think would like to attend. We hope to see you all<br>
at L1 2011!<br>
<br>
