Dear friends, tonight as a community we are reclaiming an awesome community space in north berkeley in the storage room of a vacant theatre. there are several interesting things about this new hackerspace to be inaugurated tonight: - it is being transformed to a hackerspace from a art gallery - it is a public space as soon as the door are open, random people come in all the time - it is a opportunity to educate the public about our movement - community art shows and lots of events are organized via Open Meetup Groups (that means anybody can step up as an organizer) - the space hosts Meetups for free as long as they are free of charge and dont discriminate against anybody -the password of the Zyxel Wifi is "weareallconnected" - we are focussing on arts, crafts, projects, collaborative projects, community projects -Saturdays at 4pm we feature (inspired by Sudo's today i learned) travelling hackers (YOU!?) to teach a class -Saturdays at 6pm we have a project update and overview - after that potentially we have art shows and evening events -The rules are only "be excellent to each other and say hi " (and be nice to the neighbors that we share the restroom with) - conflict resolution is " if you are excellent there should not be a conflict, but if there is , take a deep breath, talk slow, talk about it, look for a unifying spirit to help out, or take it outside" - we are about collaboration and the community coming together, we do not support hate, fear, discrimination, ... -we are an Open Community Space from the people for the people. Why is this interesting to Sudo? - first of all this place could never made the transformation without the inspiration from Sudo, a big thank you to all of you guys, specially Matt and Marina, Michael,... - you have a new place to hang out and check out in berkeley. come during the opening hours, help extend those hours, take a class, teach a class, use wifi, participate at a project, found a project, participate at an art show, bring art that you leave forever an the collage wall( to be inaugurated), and its all for free. at anytime become a cofounder for a $40 donation , which keeps the space open for one day. Found your own project here and name the place for a symboic $40. (tonight I'm gonna inaugurate the "Nyan cat University" and will symbolically donate $40 towards rent. - come teach a class as a travelling hacker on a Hack-Saturday at 4pm, inspired by "today I learned". - Hack the Gallery is located in a very protected area. rich families and kids. I plan on recruiting kids for tutoring, you could do so, too. So tonight starting at 6pm we celebrate the inauguration of hack the Gallery and some other projects, we will have awesome food and ice cream from Ray, as well as awesome inspiring speakers from our community. I want to make it clear that it is not me as a person doing all this, I was just lucky to came along this opportunity, I have been doing nothing but getting inspired by people around me and following / copying what they do. Its us all together as a community reclaiming this space. And I believe that our community will reclaim many more community spaces all over the world, and hopefully also the vacant Oaks Theater next door. We already have the domain: hackthetheatre ;) best regards, thank you guys for all your help and inspiration, p. hackthegallery.net

UPDATE/REMINDER: Amending Articles of Association on 3/27!

by Yardena Cohen

We were supposed to finally vote to update the Articles of Association on 3/20, but the wiki went down on 3/18 and stayed down until this past weekend! We didn't feel comfortable voting without the diff in front of us, and knowing that the full week of "online-consentability" was not fulfilled. But now the wiki is back up - thanks to all the people who worked hard to fix it! This message serves as your reminder. You have an extra few days to review the diff online, to make up for lost time: https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association%2FCo… Hope to see you at the 3/27 meeting and finally make this happen!

Sudoroom is open! + access crisis

by Yardena Cohen

I'll be here for a few hours tonight. It would be great if some of you could join me. We've been having major access issues this week - I would almost call this an access crisis. The raspi on the door outside has been failing and now the elevator is broken. A lot of us have noticed that this has corresponded with a drop in people showing up. We really need to do something about this!

Find 3D printers near you

by Adam Stiles

For some reason it doesn't rank the printers by proximity -- there are actually many in SF and Oakland that don't appear on Page 1, so click through ... and maybe list the sudoroom printer to make a few bucks on the side? Find a 3D printer near you.http://www.makexyz.com/

Please don't edit that draft directly; rather discuss changes on the list or create a child article from the draft to make your changes on so it is clear whose changes are whose.

REQUEST FOR COMMENT: proposed changes to the Articles of Association!

by Yardena Cohen

We are trying to revise our Articles of Association! Because we try to do this consensually, we bring changes both AT the meetings, and ON the mailing lists, as per the existing articles here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_4.1_Process At the March 13th meeting, we had a straw poll in on THESE changes: https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association%2FCo… We voted unanimously in favor of these changes: 7 yes, 0 no, 11 abstaining. But that was only a straw poll. We are going to have a REAL, BINDING vote on these changes at the March 20th meeting. If there are no objections meanwhile from this mailing list, and if that meeting also votes yes, then the OFFICIAL Sudoroom Articles of Association will then look like this: https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Articles_of_Association/Cons… The intervening week is your opportunity, internet peanut gallery, to voice any objections, because we care about those not physically present! Thank you so much for helping make Sudoroom awesome and consensual. :) Yardena
