Starting next week I'm going to be hacking with the 3D printer every Tuesday night at Sudoroom. Next week (New Year's Eve) will probably end early, but after that I will shoot for being around from 5-9pm. I encourage others to join me. It will be a time to learn, create, solve problems, and have fun. Some of my specific short term goals are: - fix/improve our Type A Machine's bed - experiment with the best slicer settings - set up the attached box for OpenSCAD development Some long term goals are: - make our printer easier & simpler to use, understand, maintain - get more people involved in 3D printing - build at least one RepRap Also there is ongoing hacking of our wiki documentation. Please help!: - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Type_A_Machine - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/3D_Modeling Thanks and happy holidays!

Tmrw (12/21): Today We Learned: Weekly open, chill co-learning at Sudo Room from 2-5PM

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Tomorrow (and every Sat.) from 2-5PM at Sudo Room <http://sudoroom.org>we'll be doing "Today We Learned <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_We_Learned>," weekly, open, super chill co-learning. What is co-learning? It means that you bring something you're working on or something you want to learn more about, maybe some other folks are interested in it as well and want to collaborate, or maybe you see what someone else is working on and want to help with that. Well what can you bring to learn about? Anything! One time when we were doing a similar event at LOL space <http://oaklandmakerspace.wordpress.com>, someone brought a broken clock and we tried to figure out how to fix it. Many times folks work on programming stuff. Sometimes we follow rabbit trails and try to explain and understand things like "well how do computers really work." If it's a thing to learn, we can learn it. We also have a projector set up if anyone wants to demo anything - anything - so you should feel free to bring something that you'd like to share. See you tomorrow! Marina

PLEASE GIVE to sudoroom gittip!

by Yardena Cohen

I dearly implore you to slightly compromise your anonymity by signing up for gittip and donating a few $/week to sudoroom. https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ The hardest part is overcoming that psychological barrier by entering your credit/debit card # - after that it will be easy, and you will be making a real difference for all the hard-working folks who volunteer here everyday. Even if you haven't been to sudo lately for whatever reason, I can't emphasize enough how much it means to us on the ground. Every dollar you give translates DIRECTLY into the love-powered energy that helps us keep the space clean, open, safe, accessible and hopping with life. None of us are paid for this, few of us are wealthy, many of us are struggling. Here's what our expenses cost approximately per week: $9 for the server that powers this very mailing list, our homepage, blog, wiki, and dev environments for many other projects! $15 for services such as trash pickup that keeps our hackers from being devoured by mutant flies and keeps our landlord's head from combusting spontaneously on every visit! $25 goes to our sweet, privacy-conscious, locally owned, ISP to bring internets to our public terminals, raspis, radio stream, and about a billion laptops and phones every week! $70-90 for our utilities, including power for our lights, computers, devices, fridge, ac/heat, printers, dishwasher, crock pot, coffee pot! $345 to rent our current space, with some prospective spaces approaching $500+/week. This space has so much value as an open community space which enables so many people and groups to accomplish awesome things! $infinite for the inspiration to learn and create beautiful things, which we have MORE TIME FOR when we are not struggling over the basics!!! That's where we are right now too often, and we ALL would like more time for the fun stuff. That will be a lot easier if you all give to sudoroom, so PLEASE CHIP IN now <3<3<3 https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ Right now we make $96.67. If we make over $138.75 we get bumped to the front page as a top receiver. If we make $500 we will finally have our basics covered and be free to dream even bigger. Thanks so much! P.S. Really though, they are pretty good about protecting your identity: "Gittip makes reasonable efforts not to share your personal information with the recipients of your gifts, so that particular gifts are anonymous. We do publicly share aggregated information about your giving and receiving. You may opt out of publicly sharing your aggregate giving." https://www.gittip.com/about/privacy/
