[TriEmbed] request for help with curating parts donation

[Pete Soper]

Today (Thursday the 31st) 2-5pm, Saturday the 3rd 10am-4pm, @ SplatSpace 
TriDIYBio popup, 25 Shoppers st, durham, nc 27704. More details on 
SplatSpace wiki page 
<http://wiki.splatspace.org/index.php/Fred_Ebeling_Collection>.

This is another request for help with curating the large donation of 
electronic parts that the late Fred Ebeling donated to Splatspace. First 
pass is about 2/3 complete to do simple labeling and cataloging of very 
basic information, slapping rows into Google Sheets.

We especially need folks who can look at a part and map it to a pair of 
Digikey's category/subcategory labels (list on the wall, via Digikey 
site, etc) as well as establishing an MFN. This is the bottleneck and I 
have a prefetch scheme in mind if we can get more folks who can do the 
mappings ahead of the folks doing data entry.

As we reach the end of the first phase we'll switch to sorting to 
combine batches of similar parts into well marked storage.

This is ongoing, and will continue for as long as it takes (but probably 
one or a few doors away in a few weeks as the pop up has to re-pop while 
Scrap Exchange prepares to lease the spaces the "SplatSpace Bio Campus" 
is using via their gracious generosity).

Thanks,
Pete

PS The TriDIYBio site is strictly level 1: no more hazardous than your 
kitchen and probably a lot less. The curation is happening in the back: 
bang on the door if the lights are on but you don't see me or somebody 
else during the session hours.
