David: Thanks so much for putting this program together!
SYN/HAK: As I mentioned earlier, forwarding David@Element14's program! He mentioned that the 200,000th member at Element14 is estimated around August-September time frame. Can those members at SYN/HAK that are interested in working on the Star Wars themed project reply back to me at your leisure? Ideally, I plan to understand who all want to collaborate on: - creating designs for the single board computers - come up with a parts list for newark's review - plan some time when we can all meet and build the circuits/models - I can provide help with videography and photography of capturing the project's progress as we work together Can't wait to hear what members of SYN/HAK think about participating in Element14's program! I hope this results in a successful project we can complete for both Element14 as well as SYN/HAK! FYI: Did you know that the White House recently denied a petition to build a real Death Star? Bet you didn't. Read all about that here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/secure-resources-and-funding-and-begin-construction-death-star-2016/wlfKzFkN And the whole debate of Death Star vs Borg Cube: http://www.startrek.com/boards-topic/33348051/borg-cube-vs-death-star Thanks, -- G | Gaurav Narain Saxena | 3302834972 | @gsvolt<http://www.twitter.com/gsvolt> | http://gsvolt.wordpress.com | http://www.youtube.com/gsvolt Board Member - SYN/HAK: The Akron Hackerspace, 21 W North St, Akron, Ohio 44304 | http://www.synhak.org Consultant - Bennett Adelson (Microsoft Solution Center), 6050 Oak Tree Blvd, Cleveland, Ohio 44131 | http://www.bennettadelson.com Owner - Whiskey Bits LLC, Portage Lakes, Ohio ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hamblin David C. <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 3:06 PM Subject: element14-SYN/HAK To: gs volt <[email protected]> G, **** ** ** Sorry for the delay, I wanted to tie up some loose ends with what we were trying to accomplish before I got something over to you. Below is a general description of what we are looking to do… **** ** ** To celebrate our 200,000th community members we wanted to do something a fun and quirky that we can put out there for our members. In the office we are pretty big science fiction fans, and we have noticed that a lot of our members are as well. So what we wanted to do was create a video that opens up the conversation of who would win in a fight the Death Star or the Borg Cube. We will be shooting this video using stop motion animation on a raspberry pi camera. What we would like SYN/HAK help in is designing and building the models of both using single board computers to control things like led lights or whatever else you guys can come up with. **** ** ** The Challenge to your group is to build a Death Star and Borg Cube model, incorporating a SBC and using parts available via Newark.com. these should be no bigger than a bowling ball and do not need to be at scale (the death star is significantly bigger). We would like you to document either through a combination of photo, video and blogs the making of thee models, to be posted on the element14 community after the video is launched. **** ** ** What are we going to do with it? **** We will use it for the videos to promote our 200K celebration, and potentially auction off the models with the proceeds given to a charity depending on how much interest is there. **** ** ** What is in it for you guys? **** We will give you a budget of $500 for parts and donate an additional $500 to the group as well as give global exposure to the SYN/HAK group through our Global PR, Social Media and Community channels. **** ** ** The time to build would be negotiable depending on interest and getting the parts in. **** ** ** Let me know if you have any questions or concerns **** ** ** *David C Hamblin * *Community Support Lead* (www.element14.com/community)**** Premier Farnell plc**** T: 330 523 4913**** E: [email protected] <[email protected]>**** * * *element14 on Social Media* Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/element14page> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/element14> | Google+ <https://plus.google.com/u/0/115208019060650803506/posts> | Linked In <http://www.linkedin.com/company/8408?trk=tyah> | Instagram<http://instagram.com/element_14> | Pinterest <http://pinterest.com/element14/>**** ** ** *Premier Farnell** *– www.premierfarnell.com**** element14 | Farnell element14 | Newark element14 **** ** ** Please consider the environment before printing this email. **** ** ** ** ** ********************************Disclaimer*********************************** The preceding e-mail message (including any attachments) contains information that may be confidential, be protected by the attorney-client or other applicable privileges, or constitute non-public information.
