NOTES

Anna.
First time to Sudo Room, came at suggestion of Vicky. Has some interesting ideas about new and innovative ways to do erotica.

Ray.
Proposal to create a 'book' that allows sighted people to experience reading while blind. Notion of: Braille as Tactility as Narrative.

Mediche.
Interested in explosions and sound. Centered around cosmic sustainability. Looking to capture an image in sound. Wants to establish new spaces.
Proposes: A book that is created by a group of people on a wiki, as a journey. Focus on multi-media, sound & image.

Eddan.
Proposes Neo-Teddy Ruxpin Storytelling Machine. - that can be modified because it is open source and open hardware. Not like Aibo Pet circumvention fiasco.

Ryan.
Interested in the Sudo Press traditional publishing suggestion. Wants to help pull together a book with first serious mainstream discussions of bio-hacking. 
Discussion of Sudo-Press. details to be specified by group on mailing list.

Rabbit.
Creates machines that write code for you. Interested in scaling up and doing collaborative sudo book. Also interested in sound - suggestion to create a throwback to the old radio shows full of sound as narrative - through Sudo Radio.
Discussion about Electric Sheep Screen-Saver as possible Sudo project. something with distributed computing.
Object that sells itself, like the one on eBay - and partly to fundraise.

Further Discussion on Neo-Teddy Ruxpin:
suggestion to have a camera taking some pictures or video and uploading it to a blog. The idea of past, present, and future owners getting connected with a toy that's recording its own history.

Discussion of Choose Your Own Adventure:
Interested in going beyond the several options of narratives, and leave it to an open generative model.

Video Games:
narrative where the player is integral to the further development of the narrative. story not pre-determined.


Regarding name of the group, specifically for the mailing list, four suggestions were made to be decided by collective consensus:
sudo-word
sudo-logos
sudo-writers
sudo-press
