WHEN: 2010-10-05
At Noisebridge's 3rd anniversary party, Moxie Merlinspike (Signal developer) proposed that we all bring $10 and decide during the party what to do with it. We voted for the idea of sending a Noisebridge envoy to Singapore Hackerspace and we picked someone by rock paper scissors tournament and sent them there and back to report on the Singaporean hacker community.

Concept came from Moxie. Everyone brings $10 and the theme of the party is what to do with the money. Visual computing voting system. Ended up choosing to send one member of the party to visit Singapore. Antonio was chosen by Rock Paper Scissors tournament, and went off the next day. He successfully visited the hackerspace in Singapore. Antonio’s next 2.5 days were split evenly between visiting hackerspaceSG and flying (30 hours each). Read his account. As you’d expect from a bunch of hackers, the “visual computing voting system” (shown above) was quicker than paper ballots and more precise than a show of hands. Using a camera aimed at the audience and custom software that counted bright dots, people instantly registered their votes by holding up a light source, such as a cell phone or a lighter.
