hey all, i'm looking to get in touch with the person who wrote/published the "no boys allowed" zine which was passed out at bikebike in san francisco. it was part of one of the oppression and gender identity issues workshops. we're looking to start a women's night here at community cycles, and i'd like to scan my copy as a pdf and email it to potential volunteers, as well as make some copies to have in the shop... if you're on the list, or if you know the person who wrote it (her name escapes me), please get in touch with me off list... thanks! josh. community cycles boulder

I think I put this request out 6 months ago but I figure I'll try again; Anyone have notes from the Bikebike 2010 workshop "how to teach hands off"? I'm making a document on teaching in the bike shop and would love to know what happened in said workshop. Thanks! -- *Geoff Heath*, Mechanical Director The Winnipeg Repair Education N' Cycling Hub 1057 Logan Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 3N8 www.TheWrench.ca

Developer's BikeBike!
by momoko saunders 27 Sep '12

27 Sep '12

Hi all, I've been playing around with the idea of a developer's BikeBike! This would be a time for the tech savvy of the bike collective world to get together to discuss and *actively work on* some of the tech issues that many community bike projects face. Specifically, we would look at HUB, the open source software that SF bike kitchen built. Some would be working on the BikeBike website. We could discuss point of sale options, or make suggestions of projects to work on. I'm sure some of us have personal endeavors that we could use a hand on, or an extra brain or two. I've got a location and time in mind, but I'd like to see the level of interest before I start making proposals. Once I have an email list of interested parties, I'll start narrowing down on what exactly will happen at this bikebike and how it will be organized. If there is any interest in this, Please email me back (off list). Please include info about your current geography, your computer skills, and any projects you are currently working on for community bike projects. Cheers, -Momoko
