Drones: ideas, pitch and hands-on - 16th July 2013
Some rights reserved by Ars Electronica [1]
An actual subject in the news and around the world. Drones. You can use them for anything.
The most common and most spoken task is surveillance and executing military tasks. But they can
be used to deliver pizza's, taco's and even medicines as well. And yes... they are actual being
used for those tasks at the time of writing.
So the goal of this evening is to talk about the subject drones, mostly about the technics and a bit about ethical use but that's not the major focus of the evening. The speaker will provide some information about the possibilities and will give a demonstration what is possible. There is also a hands-on simulator to give you the experience what it feels like to fly a drone without any intelligence.
The evening is also being used to measure the enthousiasm to build a RandomDataDrone (RaDD), when build properly this drone can be used as a platform for other projects.

Speakers Bio
I have six hands with which I am juggling my six roles: mother, hacker/activist, lover, expat, Ms Measurements, lecturer
For my work, I moved to Amsterdam from Belgrade, in 1999. At RIPE NCC, I was a trainer for 12 years, teaching ISPs around Europe and world about how Internet is governed and built, talking about DNS, IPv6, BGP, IETF, ICANN... Last 2 years I am a Community Builder around measurements and tools that R&D of RIPE NCC builds, that are looking at the stability & quality of Internet around the world.
Before that, during and after, I was an activist & hacker, taking part in Dutch hacker scene (Hippies From Hell) & conferences (HIP97, HAL2001, WTH2005, HAR2009 & OHM2013) and German Chaos Camps (CCC in '99, 2007, 2011); I started by being part on B92 & OpenNet in Belgrade, and part of communities/mailing lists syndicate & nettime. Currently, I am a secretary at the Amsterdam hackerspace: Technologia Incognita.
I have/had 3 children, with my Dutch ex-partner, and I am now "living apart together" with my wonderful love and lover.
I am a Community Builder for RIPE Atlas and member of Technologia Incognita, Amsterdam Hackerspace -- and a friend of many other hackerspaces (see my other workshop at 29c3: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/wiki/Hackerspaces_exchange) My goal is to have one RIPE Atlas probe installed in every hackerspace -- combining work and pleasure.

BGP and IPv6 with Iljitsch van Beijnum 30 november 2012
BGP and IPv6 expert Iljitsch van Beijnum has been so kind to come to RandomData to give a talk about IPv6 and BGP!
For a lot of folks Iljitsch doesn't need an introduction: For the rest of us:
(Stolen from Ars Technica) http://arstechnica.com/author/iljitsch-van-beijnum/
In the late 1990s, Iljitsch worked in the Internet Service Provider business in the Netherlands.
In 2000, he became a freelance writer and networking consultant. He wrote "BGP," (O'Reilly, 2002)
a book about the BGP routing protocol, and "Running IP6v" (Apress, 2005). Iljitsch
is currently putting the finishing touches on his Ph.D. work at the telematics department at
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) in Spain. He contributes articles about network protocols
such as IPv6 as well as Apple-related topics to Ars Technica. When his iPhone is out of podcasts,
he contemplates writing science fiction one day.
An other small detail: I've learned the basics of BGP using the book Iljitsch wrote, I I'll consider it a honor to have him in Randomdata!
Where: Randomdata space
When: 30 november
To be announced!
Who's attending?
Max 10 persons, first come first serve with priority on members.(and routing nerds :) )

IPv6 introduction with Wilco Baan Hofman 16 november 2012
Wilco Baan Hofman will give a talk about IPv6, how it works, how it can be deployed, how routing works and why IPv4 has been obsolete since 1996.
Wilco Baan Hofman is one of the founders of the spacefed project and currently working on
roaming secure wireless between hackerspaces (spacenet), a standards-based IPv6-only VPN mesh
between hackerspaces (spaceconnect) and creating a hackerspace authentication trust federation
(spacesaml). He is co-founder and treasurer of Bitlair, the hackerspace in Amersfoort. He is
also working in the NOC team for the next big dutch hacker event OHM2013.

DIY Amateur radio license & The 21th century Radio - Kickoff 17-01-2012
For alle the updates, please go to Ham_radio
Fish_ and I (Abouttheroute) have been talking about 27mc and amateur radio lately with the goal of setting up packet radio links between hackerspaces both in the Netherlands and worldwide. We have decided to skip the 27mc band and head straight to the "real" amateur radio stuff.
To prefent the space from being raided by the dutch "agentschap telecom" we must start with getting a license, so DIY study time!
At the first workshop day we will:
A: Choose the exam (N / F)
B: How to study / Plan study evening
C: Set a exam date
D: Discuss study details
After we have passed our exams, it's to discuss hardware! We have to build radio's, antenna's, packet modem's etc. So a lot of tinkering to do!

SC 101: March 18th
IT Security Certifications 101
The Workshop details
SC 101 is een introductie tot de wereld van de IT-security certificaten. Door de snelle ontwikkelingen op het gebied van IT-beveiliging is er meer vraag dan ooit voor gekwalificeert personeel. Een van de manieren om aan te tonen dat je gekwalificeerd bent is door middel van certificaten. Naast ervaring is dit een van de beste maatstafen van je kennis die "meetbaar" is voor anderen. Door de grote vraag aan kwalitatief goede, uitdagende security leerstof is er een wildgroei onstaan aan security gerelateerde certificeringen. Meerdere instellingen spelen in op deze markt en lanceren hun eigen versies van "ethical hacking" of "penetration testing" cursussen. Welke cursussen zijn er? In welke vorm worden deze gegeven? Wat zijn de eisen met betrekking tot voorkennis? Al deze vragen zullen beantwoordt worden tijdens deze presentatie.
Jordy Kersten (MSc. ISC2 Associate, CEH, OSCP) is een security consultant die op dit moment werkzaam voor een van de grotere IT-security organisaties in Nederland. Naast de behaalde certificeringen heeft hij twee jaar werkervaring als ethical hacker/penetratie tester. Hij is gespec-ialiseerd in infrastructuurbeveiliging en webapplicaties. Ook is hij actief als spreker/volunteer bij verschillende security conferenties en schrijft hij stukken over de ervaringen die hij opdoet binnen zijn vakgebied.
Taal presentatie: Nederlands
SC 101 is an introduction course to the world of IT-security certifications. Due to the fast developments in IT-security there is an upcoming demand for qualified personnel. One of the ways to prove that you are qualified is by getting certified. Next to experience, certifications are one of the "measurable" things to prove you are knowledgeable. Because of the high demand of good quality, in-depth knowledge sharing there has become a wild-grow of security related certifications. Multiple institutes react to this market and launch there own versions of "ethical hacking" or "penetration testing" courses. Which one's are available now? Which one's are most desireable? In what form are they lectured? What are the demands to be eligable to start? What the heck are CPE's? All these questions will be answered during this presentation.
Jordy Kersten (MSc., ISC2 Associate, CEH, OSCP) is a security consultant currently employed at one of the bigger IT security companies in the Netherlands. He is specialized as a penetration tester where his working field is infrastructures and webapplications. jNext to his two year experience he has several IT-security related certifications. He is also active as an speaker/volunteer at several security conferences and also writes papers about his experiences within the IT-security field.

Architects and Designers
Royal Academicians
Architects and Designers
Architects have been part of the Royal Academy since our foundation in 1768. Today, we are dedicated to our innovative architecture programme and can boast some of the world's greatest architects as RAs, from Richard Rogers and Norman Foster to Will Alsop.
Featured Architect
Louisa Hutton RA
Louisa Hutton studied at the University of Bristol and the Architectural Association. She worked with Alison + Peter Smithson for four years in the mid eighties. In 1989 she founded her own practice in London, together with Matthias Sauerbruch, which relocated to Berlin in 1993.
Sauerbruch Hutton gained international renown for their early and comprehensive engagement with sustainability in architecture and urbanism. The practice currently has projects under construction in Germany, France, Italy, Finland and the UK.
It's exciting to think of the RA as an international forum for architecture. Some of the great curators in the world ply their trade and share their ambition here.
Eric Parry RA
Architecture at the RA
Our architecture programme
The Royal Academy Architecture Programme explores architecture's place within contemporary culture, through a diverse range of exhibitions and events. Our Architecture Programme is made possible by the Drue Heinz Endowment for Architecture.
Architecture online
From in-depth interviews with some of the world's leading architects to behind-the-scenes photo stories of architectural installations: there's a wealth of architecture-related material for you to discover on our blog.
Our buildings
The Royal Academy is housed in Burlington House, an ornate seventeenth century mansion in the middle of bustling modern-day Mayfair.
Over the course of its long history, the building has undergone significant alterations, both structural and more superficial, according to the different needs of its owners and the changing tastes of the times.

Go to eBay to see the real item for sale. It is NOT the one in the picture.
"For sale is UFO on other photos with full aluminum construction in green color and black leather covered wings."
"About our knowledge, what we know just from rumor by mouth, there existed two prototypes of this aircraft. The previous one which was actually flying and then was donated to the Air force of India during the 60's and 70's which was used to train the fighter pilots and what happened with this aircraft nobody knows and it disappeared in time"
Even more awesomeness.
Okay, you name that aircraft. Identify it, if you can.
It's hard enough to get a "flying wing" aircraft to be stable with fly by wire, that thing looks like a decommissioned old crop duster that someone took and wrapped a swimming pool cover over the wings to make it look "cool".
For sale. One semi-circular death machine, never used. Inquire within...
Understood. However, the one for sale is a very very crude facsimile of the one the USAF had in its photo. This must have been a very early prototype from a bidder who didn't get the job.
Never said it was.
For sale is UFO on other photos with full aluminum construction in green color and black leather covered wings.
If it doesn't have cup holders, forget it!
How many light years does it have on it?
Yeah, last time I looked when in the AF back then, the Master Sergeant of the NCO Club called all the shots about secret military aircraft. As for the highest clearance granting - just plain BS, there's still such a thing as NEED TO KNOW.... Lastly, all the pictures in the link are computer graphics generations. Apologize for the length of the excerpt - tried to cut as much as possible but one has to get a sense of just how poorly documented the site's recounts are.
As long as the USAF knows what it was (then and now) it's not a UFO.
Don't make the mistake of assuming that just because the public doesn't know what it is, that it was ever a UFO.
Yes, it looks like it could be.
That's not leather. It's radar absorbing paint.
Oh yes....the AF was adventurous and full of grits back in the post war years (and for some efforts, a couple of decades afterwards). They'd just won a war, feeling their oats, moved into the jet age - made tremendous advances in altitude, speed, endurance, etc (expanding the flight envelope). America was rich, the superpower with money to burn.
Then, science began to give way to politics - jobs. B-2 was overbloated because of California jobs and jobs in key districts, Osprey, C-17, KC-135 replacement, et al were more politics than procurement.
"Enjoy the humor."
It IS to laugh!
Skunkworks projects (U-2 and SR71) IIRC.
I was stationed at a place (Kadena) where the SR flew almost daily, headed west. We called them the "Habu" at the base, locally. There were also one or two U-2s around.
There's the old tale of how Kennedy was going to announce the new 3000 MPH plane, the RS71. He said "SR71" and they ended up changing the designation.
What's next? Well I don't believe it's a hypersonic vehicle to move stuff or people from one place to another. I could believe a kill vehicle with something like a daisy cutter / bunkerbuster , or even an EMP on board for a one-way trip.
About this nonprofit:
Church of Scientific Theology is a scientifically based church for the 3rd millenium - with its own very specific theological theory Scientific Theology. A complex of ideas, believes and teachings, based on scientific ways of thinking like logical analysis and scientific methodology of evidences and proofs - which teaches that there is a strong connection between scientific and a theological idea of God.
1. The vehicle in the e-bay ad is a more-or-less ground effect machine that probably doesn't work: the construction appears to be pretty good and those wing fences are their to control the flow of air over the wings but it is likely to be unstable in the roll axis anyway, if it has enough power to get off the ground at all. And no, it doesn't have a TBF canopy..
2. The "Air Force Saucer" in the photos has no powerplants and no visible control surfaces. Attractive but would not work, Keemo Sabe.
Now that we see them......
are they now IFAs?
That's an Sabre isn't it?
I think only one of the flew and the other was a hanger queen.
I think only one of them flew and the other was a hanger queen.
"We called them the Habu at the base, locally."
I'll bet there are few here that know the origin of that moniker.
Ever run into a real Habu while at Okinawa? Fast, aggressive and deadly.
The payoff with the alleged USAF "Saucer" is the outlandishly oversized fin and the lack of any evidence of power sources (Vanna, can you give me an intake?)...and I love those ridiculous multiwheel landing gear! Imagine the fun of designing those things to retract efficiently into that thin section wing..
F-86 Sabre.
Yes, I have actually. There used to be fights between Habu and Mongoose.
I spent 3 years on the island in the mid-60's and I also saw the Habu vs. Mongoose battle it out. Poor Habu always lost.
One year at the Kadena Carnival the old Okinawan guy that was running the match got bitten and died right before our very eyes. Needless to say, my days of exploring the local caves came to an abrupt halt.
Thanks for the memories.
Ill bet there are few here that know the origin of that moniker.
I do. I was a pre-teen Army brat in the mid-sixties, and lived just south of Kadena for some years. I once caught a baby Habu and tried to pickle it in rubbing alcohol. You wouldn't believe the stink when I opened that jar a year later .. LOL
Sounds like you and I were on Okinawa in the same time period. We were there from late '63 to late '66. I used to love watching the Habu versus mongoose cage matches. Never saw a handler get bit, though. That must have been horrifying.
I spent a lot of time exploring caves myself. Did you ever get into that limestone cave the Army tried to seal up (again and again)? I'm trying to remember the name of the area where it was located, but sheesh, that was 46 years ago.
I still have great memories of the place. Didn't want to leave when we were called back stateside.
I was there as a brat also at Kadena 59-62, I just sent an email to Panamax re: my extensive forays in the boonies exploring creeks, gullies, caves, revetments, etc. I was later stationed there as a buck sergeant in 69-71 but my exploring was confined mostly to the Koza strip outside gate 2 ;)
Well, pleased to meet you, fellow Oki.
My younger brother had the same experience as you did. He returned to Okinawa after joining the Marine Corps. I think he spent about two years there. He hated the place the second time around.
Me, I've got nothing but great childhood memories. Like you, I spent a lot of time exploring the caves, jungles, gorges, beaches, etc. It was a fantastic playground for a young boy.
I didn't want to leave either. The best times a kid could ever dream of could be had on Okinawa. We also lived south of Kadena near the beach. Our "house" was nothing more than a flat-top concrete box with shudders that covered the windows during the Typhoons.
I would move back there in a minute and live as a native, but far too many grandkids and family here to relocate.
I think the cave you are thinking of was called Gokosenna or something like that? Like you said, it been a long time. I never got into that one. Guess it was huge and went on for miles underground.
We'd see the Habu when exploring and they weren't afraid to chase you. You're lucky you didn't get bitten.
Thanks for allowing me to re-live the best part of my youth.

Good Morning,
How is the weather in Georgia? I'm having to look forward to cold, ice and snow. I hate it! My dad was from Georgia and I wish he'd kept us down there. All my kids and grandkids are here now so I guess I'm stuck. Do you know any good handsome men [black] that are my age? [smile]
Have a blessed day and enjoy life sweetie. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.

Jim also took his "world tour" to Buffalo in 2001 to perform in front of 10,000 of the "clones" at Dunn Tire Stadium. Rome was driven to the stage in a white Ford bronco.
Rome previously served as host of the popular program The Last Word with Jim Rome, broadcast nightly on Fox Sports Net, for five years. Prior to The Last Word with Jim Rome, Jim spent a two-year stint hosting ESPN2's Talk2, a nightly one-hour interview show. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara as the "$5 dollar-an-hour" traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara's sports. He left KTMS for San Diego's all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690. It was during a temporary stint on a late-night show for the station that Rome debuted his "smack" (Jungle Glossary term meaning sports talk in a gloating, uninhibited or unbridled manner). The style yielded high ratings, and, by acclimation of his listeners, The Jungle was born. In 1996, to further keep up with demand, Premiere Radio Networks acquired exclusive syndication rights and the program continues to pick-up affiliates throughout the country.
Rome graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1987, with a degree in Communications. He currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Janet and their two children.
Mullane Chrysler Jeep & Dodge is proud to sponsor streaming of the Jim Rome Show, weekdays from noon to 3pm on WGR.
