Due to incredible enthusiasm and demand, Sudo Room will now be hosting monthly Cryptoparties! Join us from 2-5pm every Third Sunday to learn about digital security and get up and running with basic tools for privacy and anonymity. * * *What's a Cryptoparty?* A Cryptoparty is a safe space for learning about digital security, privacy and anonymity. In the wake of Snowden's leak of the NSA's PRISM project, digital security has become a widespread concern. What most people don't know enough about is the advantages and disadvantages of various tools such as TOR, GPG, and OTR. *That's a lot of acronyms! * No worries! Friendly geeks will be giving presentations, answering any questions, and leading hands-on workshops to get you comfortable using the right tools for you. By the end of the day, you'll have learned security techniques & software, understand why responsible security is important, and have made friends with other proactive residents! Bring your phone and your laptop. *All* skill levels are welcome! Spread to your networks. Fliers to come!

Fwd: [sudo-discuss] Statistics through Doodles this Saturday at 2 pm

by Marina Kukso

"Today I Learned" workshop on Statistics through Doodles this Saturday at 2PM! - Marina ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Thomas Levine <occurrence(a)thomaslevine.com> Date: Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 6:45 PM Subject: [sudo-discuss] Statistics through Doodles this Saturday at 2 pm To: sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org As documented on the wiki, I'm going to teach statistics through doodles. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_20:_Statistics_through_doodl… With the help of some doodles on paper (or possibly the floor), I'll will explain the purpose and meaning of various measures of the relationships between different variables (specifically covariance, variance, correlation and least-squares regression). This class assumes literally no knowledge of math, not even basic arithmetic. But I'll try to skip things that people already know as not to bore everyone. For the symbolically inclined, I can relate the doodles to the symbols you might have seen in an introductory statistics course. I've done this a few times, so I have enough of a mental script that I'd like to video it and put it on the website. I'll bring a camera. It would be awesome if someone could bring a tripod or if someone held my camera for part of the session. Or we could make a tripod-alternative out of some wood, a small tripod from the closet and some duct tape.

Saturbay Film Group... This Saturday Music Video

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, A bunch of us are getting together to do some videography for a music video. Starting at around sunrise, and hopefully getting some of Oakland at sunset. Ideally, we would want a bunch of dancers to come with us at either time to do some shots for our new song. There is an FB event, and we'll need more camera people possibly, and grips. Let me know if you're interested. Would be awesome to flashmob the cranes!!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/222482637902866/ -- Cheers, Rusty Lindgren **

This Saturday TIL: July 6: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers, everyone!)

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that you are welcome to join us this Saturday (7/6) at 2PM for Today I Learned: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers, everyone!)<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_6:_GIT_Version_Control_for_N…> . What is git anyway? "Git allows a team of people to work together, all using the same files. And it helps the team cope with the confusion that tends to happen when multiple people are editing the same files." [source<http://www.quora.com/What-is-Git-used-for-What-does-it-do-exactly> ] It is one of the primary ways that coders work together and one of the key tools in the development of open source software. Although it's mostly used by coders, it has lots of potential uses for people who don't code and is very useful for anyone who is learning to code. We will be learning all about version control and trying it out ourselves! No prior knowledge is necessary. See you soon, Marina

Re: [sudo-announce] [sudo-discuss] This Sat. 6/29 Today I Learned: How to showcase your 3D printed work with a time-lapse video

by Anthony Di Franco

Related to that, I saw when Rusty posted about it that the B9 creator is being used for casting of metal jewellery with fine detail that might even be down to the level of pipe threads like those. Which makes me interested in this on general metal-printing principle as well. Quoted max XY resolution 50 microns, Z 6.xx, looks subjectively like that transfers to the metal in the ring photo. Anyone want to split the cost of acquiring one of these and doing metal casting?
