Hack the Art Walk

by Patrick Schmidt

Dear friends, many things happening in Berkeley. Another guy also called Patrick who runs a framing shop got all the Art Galleries together for a new Art Walk in North Berkeley, seing all the meta networking going on in society is just wonderful. The very first Solano Artwalk is June 8th, and I'd love to invite you all to come out (Bus 18 comes here directly from Sudo) (I know Oakland nights live is that Evening :( ) https://www.facebook.com/events/470956182987603/ If anyone want to participate and show artwork, that would be wonderful, and as Sudoer dont feel obliged to donate $40, just being part of it would be more then awesome. Saturday and Sunday we have a special Drop Off from 1-6pm. Come Sunday to Hack the Gallery if you like (Saturday my volunteer is there and I am gone) (if you want to get rid of 3D printed stuff, Im sure we will find wallspace ;) does anyone feel like making a collage about sudoroom?, I got picture frames.) For the future I picture a big map of the Bay Area with all the hacker spaces- maybe for the second artwalk. Could I borrough the Sudo Projector for the map project? ( Anyone wants to come out Sunday with the projector and lets draw a hackerspace Map ? ;) ) I hope you guys know that this Art Gallery is as yours as Sudo room, if you ever need a fancy venue for an event...,it would be wonderful to get you guys out here for a social event outside of sudoroom. I could not make it to wednesdays meeting as I spilled beet juice over my computer. after some self repair mode it sems to boot normally, sadly not all keys work anymore so that I cant enter my password :( I hope it will recognize an external keyboard without problems. Luckily that I got my old netbook back to work. See you all soon, Patrick

This Sat. June 1st: Today I Learned: The Simple Computer

by Marina Kukso

Please join us this Saturday June 1st at 2pm for the FREE workshop “*Today I Learned: The Simple Computer*.” Perhaps you’ve heard of the 0′s and the 1′s. Perhaps you’ve heard of bits and bytes. But how do the 0′s and 1′s tell your computer to do things? How do we go from 0′s and 1′s to lolcats and code? How does the little box of plastic and circuits do anything at all? Want to have the most basic introduction to what a computer is and how it works? We will break a computer down to its most basic concept and answer any and all questions you will have (dumb questions, smart questions, normal questions – all questions are welcome!). Finally, we will take what we’ve learned and build a very simple computer! If we have enough folks come, we will BUILD A COMPUTER OUT OF HUMANS (WHAT?!)(YES.). Specifically, during this “Today I Learned” workshop we will: - Go on a quest to make computers *as simple as possible*. Intro to computer science. Understand how computers work! - Cover binary math and boolean logic - Make half & full adders made of water, marbles, rocks, dominos, people… - Build a very simple computer with 64 bytes of memory and 4 instructions *This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*
