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/

Re: [sudo-announce] [sudo-discuss] REQUEST FOR COMMENT: proposed changes to the Articles of Association!

by Anthony Di Franco

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

Microcontroller hacking tonight!

by hol＠gaskill.com

Hi Folks, We are meeting tonight, on admittedly short notice, to hack on the following +/- depending on how many people show up and are interested in each element: -repair and connect inherited humidifier controller (essentially a relay on a timer, with what looks to be a vestigial socket for a humidity sensor???) to SudoShroom environmental control system -facilitate arduino-controlled beer brewing using closed-loop temperature sensing and heat element actuation - hot test tonight! -connect orientation sensors to servo-controlled rocket fins for active roll control -experiment with RGB LED color creation Hope to see all interested parties there. If you have an arduino or propeller or launchpad or whatever, bring it on by! Also, if you think of any problems that need solving using small controllers, feel free to pass along any problem statements and/or suggestions you may have. Cheers, Hol

Long live the Exchequer

by Anthony Di Franco

After a long period of semi-benign neglect of the weightier aspects of the Excheqing, I am happy to pass the function on to the eminently qualified Tommy York. In addition to having drafted a new set of fiscal solvency sheets for us which look like they will serve us very well, he brings experience running coop finances and a business degree to the task. This could not come at a better time, since the regular budget surpluses I mostly passively functioned over mean that we will very soon be crowdfunding sudo projects with our surplus income. My day job is now to write an accounting system for a crowdfunding and community currency platform with significant conceptual overlap with our own financial processes, and to the extent I am able contribute this sort of automation to what we do at sudo room, I will deeply appreciate the guidance and leadership of someone with a firm handle on the business issues at the core of things. As is our ancient sudo custom, after the obligatory series of polite, coy refusals by Tommy, the Excheqatorial sceptre was dropped and waved in the prescribed manner, and the information on the accounts was handed over, and the ritual of assumption is now complete. Welcome to the future, Tommy!
