ok i will try and sand cast using aluminium using my set up (only metal i have right now).
when your lost wax casting resin arrives, i could help, but only on a sunday morning or friday evening after 19:00 (classes gets done at 18:00 at ubc). Preferably not on April as right before finals I will get murdered with due dates.
POLL: There has been some discussion on slack that SHHH (which is currently scheduled for Friday April 12) should be moved to a Saturday, as is tradition. There is also some discussion about rescheduling the AGM for another weekend, since it is currently scheduled for Sunday April 14.
- SHHH Friday April 12, AGM Sunday April 14 (no change)
- SHHH Friday April 12, AGM Sunday April 21
- SHHH Saturday April 13, AGM Saturday April 13
- SHHH Saturday April 13, AGM Sunday April 14
- SHHH Saturday April 13, AGM Sunday April 21
What about leaving QGM as scheduled and having SHHH on Saturday of the following weekend?
Doing SHHH before the AGM i think works best. It gives a chance to remind everyone of the AGM and try to drum up some more involvement there and other activities around the space.
Godammit, work is sending me to Toronto the weekend of SHHH. Unless… No… YES!!! Ok I have contacted contact Hacklab.to in an attempt to arrange the first inaugural Trans-Canadian SHHH!!!
What other spaces should we reach out to?
- Protospace…
- Who
- else?
Victoria Makerspace and Hornby Spark are in our time zone… do we know anybody over there?
reach out to https://hacklab.to/ and https://www.site3.ca/
Site3 rewards participation, requires training and forgives mistakes people own up to.
Voting rights are limited to core members who demonstrated participation and commitment.
I don’t know how they do SHHH
But talk to Marc Reeve or any of the great core members about their ideas.
I think they are a great organisation
Liquor license has been procured. You hackers better come thirsty and drink one for me since i’m apparently legally obligated to stay sober now.

You could reach out to E.N.T.S in Edmonton to see what’s shaking there
Lol I’ll be in Edmonton a few days after I get back from Toronto, so maybe. Though I probably won’t have enough time unfortunately, since I’m only there for the day.
Protospace sounds interested… does anybody have a zoom room (or similar) that we can use?
A day in Edmonton is more than enough imo!
I have put together a list of groceries / supplies for the event. If anyone wishes to provide feedback or make special requests, please do so here:
I see the SHHH on the calendar, but it has no details. Should we update that with the details from this post?
Have a great SHHH tonight folks. Cant make it but hack on!
I know it says lightning talks at 11, but I’m going to a show before that and request… Nay, REQUIRE some attention before I leave!
Likewise. 11pm is 2am in Toronto. Any chance we could do an early round of lightning talks via livestream? https://meet.google.com/ivw-nfry-bwr
It was a great evening.
Many thanks to Phillip for getting this started and everyone who helped set up, bring/BBQ food, give a talk (how to hack a patent, micro financing, beaver stories, etc.), and to everyone who came to SHHH to make it such an enjoyable evening.
Thanks to everyone who helped out and pitched in to get things up and running for SHHH! it was great to meet some old members who were around from other VHS locations that I had not previously met or talked to. When we did lightning talks we figured about 75% of those that were around were attending their first SHHH! so it was great to see.
I’ll get a debrief talk post a bit later after we aggregate all the expenditures and put together some notes so we’re better prepared for the next one.
Special thanks to @Jeremy_Lee @amanda and @Omid as well as the many others who showed up and helped in some significant ways from preparing food, decorating and tidy up. Given the personal struggles this past week I’m really thankful not to have worked on this on my own.
I managed to visit the hackerspace out there today!
