by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that we'll be having "Today We Learned" open co-learningtime at Sudo Room today from 2-5PM. Come learn and hack with us! Tiny amount of details at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_We_Learned Best, Marina PS - If this is your first time at Sudo Room, the best way to get in is from 22nd St (between Broadway and Telegraph) and to take the elevator upstairs. We'll be there!

Anyone having problems with Tor?

by Eddie Che

Wondering if anyone else is having issues feeling like some of the servers may not have their best interest in mind. My suspicions started when seeing NSADutch etc come up there, and now there's a range of sketchy-ness and badass-ness if you look at the network map as you browse, especially if you're an activist. I have to continually be closing out these portals to defeat "InvincibleAI," for example. Since as I understand it tor is an evolving project, is what's going on: a) it turns out anyone can make a server... so there's some percentage of those who will take traffic and data and not have your best interests in mind? b) this is fine perfectly safe, none of the data and traffic is stored on these servers? c) there's other things with privacy we have to collectively worry about, like what information we give to companies and their integrity, d) this is a battle it's evolving and so we don't really know yet? e) some other hack-option? -- Eddie Miller, BU '10 eddiemill(a)gmail.com | 440-935-5434 Facebook.com/eddiemill | Twitter.com/eddiemill

collective of collectives / space-agnostic accumulation of momentum

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, At the meeting wednesday we talked about the space thing for a short while, and one of the points that was brought up is that we are kind of snowballing toward some larger goal and movement here regardless of what form the nuts and bolts take. I have not been to any of the Omni meetings because of the location, but the more I hear, the more I understand that some kind of serious and I hope irreversible momentum is building. I don't think sudo/BAPS's current location is perfect, but it might be beneficial to try to attract one or more additional group to 2141, maybe in the other small room as a temporary measure. There is some sense that George would be more relaxed if he were able to rent out more of the upstairs space. I'm not betting one way or the other, but that could be a potential fringe benefit secondary to the main goal of building momentum and stabilizing various orgs' membership and resources. I say this not to delay moving to a new space, but hopefully quite the opposite, to bring that point closer by reducing the perceived risk through knocking out some unknowns and generally building rapport between members of the various orgs. I'm sure alot has probably been discussed at the omni meetings, but what are peoples' thoughts? Happy Friday, Hol

cnc mill

by Jake

anyone know how to use the CNC mill? I am thinking of going to sudo tonight to mill something and it would be easier if someone can show me how to do it, rather than figuring it out. maybe i'll just call on the telephone before i go over. or is there a wiki page for the thing? -jake

atmega32u4 arduino leonardo clones for $5 including shipping - set up a kid!

by Jake

for less than the price of a fancy cup of coffee, you can rescue a child from the boredom of not having their very own microcontroller to program. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=atmega32u4&… while you're shopping for all the kiddies on your list, get a spool of addressable LEDs for just 27 cents per light - and cut the spool into pieces whose length corresponds to how much you care about each recipient. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-WS2811-RGB-LED-Strip-5M-150-300-Leds-60LED-… and of course they will need a way to power the thing while they're wearing it, so don't forget a rechargable USB battery pack for only $2.53 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mobile-Power-Bank-USB-18650-Battery-Charge… don't forget micro USB cables: (short or long) http://www.ebay.com/itm/10CM-USB-2-0-A-to-Micro-B-Data-Sync-Charge-Cable-Co… http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-2-0-Male-A-to-Data-Charger-Cable-Android-… and here's the source to get it to do POV with one color: https://github.com/jerkey/pov_ws2811 maybe someone will make a color POV for it? http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/08/08/coming-soon-minipov-rgb-led/

Hey are there any other iOS Developers at SudoRoom? I would like to collaborate with you -- interested in a project involving SudoSquare, putting stuff on github, and making a fix it app Also any back end people interested, give me a ring.
