Open Hardware for Secure Networks And Privacy (OHSNAP) will be an open-source platform for building secure networks with a known root of trust. Our first project is the OHSNAP Router, a single-board computer for use as an edge node by privacy-conscious individuals on their home networks. More project details at https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/OHSNAP

Meet here: https://jitsi.noisebridge.io/hackitorium

We will go into a breakout room shortly after start.

Because jobhunting and preparing for job interviews by yourself sucks.

It's better to do it with a community! Come to Noisebridge and practice whiteboarding, algorithms, and other interviewing techniques together with others!! =D (This is also a support group for job-hunters.)

This event will be in the Hackitorium, but will be at Church classroom if Audiochurch is happening, and will be hosted by Bernice & by Ishan. This version will be a more structured version of the Wednesday version!! ^_^

All experience levels are welcome.

(For newcomers, this is how you get in: to go inside, please ring the doorbell at the gate, then go to the 3rd floor.)

This workshop was inspired by "Whiteboarding Wednesdays" at Dev Bootcamp.

My Personal Opinion About Whiteboarding Interviews:

But unfortunately, this is the world that we live in.

~~~~~~~~~~
My personal tips to get good at interviews:
There are actually 2 different skills being tested in interviews, especially whiteboarding interviews. The first skill is public speaking / communication skills, and the second skill is technical proficiency. Both of these skills need to be practiced in tandem, and are equally important.

These are what you need to do:
1) Practice public speaking / communication skills
- Get used to speaking in front of others and narrating your thoughts. Going to whiteboaring interview practice gets you used to talking in front of other people, so instead of associating the emotions of nervousness and anxiousness with public speaking, you associate public speaking with familiarity.

2) Know your stuff
- Be very comfortable and familiar with your skills, because it's hard enough to do public speaking, while trying to remember the technical parts.
- Good way to get better at programming is to work on something you want to make, or work on something that you really care about. Example, I love videogames, and I want to make videogames, so that's how I got better at programming.

**I have transitioned PyClass to a first come first serve online office hours format, as I do not have the time to figure our how to manage a medium sized class online. If you are interested in talking through a problem, project or goal, message Jared the organizer for an invitation**

PyClass is an introductory Python course run by the Noisebridge community! Message the organizer to ask what this week's class will be on.

Our weekly meeting via telepresence virtual link.

https://jitsi.noisebridge.io/hackitorium#config.startWithAudioMuted=true&config.startWithVideoMuted=true

Let’s chat about all things blockchain and crypto{ graphy | currency | economics | nomicon | zoolology}!

When and where?

Biweekly on Wednesdays, we (and by we I mean I) will hanging out in https://jitsi.noisebridge.io/crypto starting at 8:00 PM PT. Come hang out and talk about your favorite topics in blockchain and crypto.*

Will anyone be there?

I will 🙋. I’m a very enthusiastic hacker who spends way too much time diving into the deep dark world of academic cryptography and consensus to bring the nuggets of actually-implementable-not-bullshit to the rest of us. (One of my more recent projects has been to standardize the usage of error correcting codes in Bitcoin wallet phrases, so if that’s interesting to you, I’d love to chat about it) During my working hours, I am a protocol engineer for a company working on a mobile-optimized cryptocurrency solution.

NOTE: DUE TO SHELTER IN PLACE ORDER, THE MEETUP IS BEING HELD ONLINE ON OUR DISCORD SERVER.

Greetings, fine hackers, artists, makers, freaks, geeks, and everything in between.

We've created this VIRTUAL HACKITORIUM time to which ALL ARE WELCOME.

Let's be real, we're not gonna be sharing space with strangers indoors for another few months.

So while we're all hacking-in-place, why not share some hack time with us?

JOIN our virtual hackitorium: https://jitsi.noisebridge.io/hackitorium

No RSVPs required. Please do not show up to the physical Noisebridge space, there's nobody there.

Think of Noisebridge as a caterpillar in chrysalis. Or a bear in hibernation. Or a battle robot with its pieces scattered all over the world in secret underground bunkers.

If all goes well with the whole vaccination rollout thing, in a few months we'll emerge from our collective caves as a beautiful Voltron butterfly-bear ready to tear shit up do-ocracy style at our new home in the Mission. We'll even let you form the head.

Til then, we'll see you at the Noisebridge-in-Exile Virtual CoHack.
