Cleaning

by Romy Ilano

If we pay people for beer, if we buy burritos then why is it wrong to pay someone to clean? Could we pay for a small family owned immigrant cleaning business to clean the common room and the space ? I do not see sudo room getting into a cleaning skill set in the near future and that is ok --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com

[Update] Alternative Locations for Sudo Room

by Matthew Senate

Ryan and Jenny are excellent! We went biking and found more places for sudo room's future decision-making! http://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/ Please add more reports (choose at least one): (a) tweet the address and details (e.g. a phone number) @sudoroom (i) You can also set up twitter to post via text message to 40404 if you don't have a data plan with your phone--ask me for details! ;) (b) send an email with the same info to info(a)sudoroom.org (c) use the web form https://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/reports/submit (d) download a mobile app (though the new android app crashed for me >.<) You can also help by: (a) Calling some of the existing listings, coordinate by replying to this message! (b) Offering to review old listings that might still be available! (c) Trolling Craigslist and other websites with spaces for rent / lease. (d) Contribute to this spreadsheet Romy set up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amu8QvJOCyfkdFRkMnFGblJ3MzZDNF… (e) Organize another bike-about to find more locations! The crowdmap platform released a new version of their software today, but we can use the "classic" mode likely through 2013, with options to migrate and such before then. I have backups just in case, and we can back more data up as we add to it. // Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] DystopiaNews: "Let them eat bugs!"

by Shawn Lesniak

Do you eat produce? Then you're already eating insects http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInfor… excerpt: "RAISINS, GOLDEN Insects and insect eggs (AOAC 969.42 & MPM-V76) 10 or more whole or equivalent insects and 35 Drosophila eggs per 8 oz." Pork is verboten for Jews and Muslims because of their scripture, not because we haven't found a way to force them to eat it. Eating pork is not as resource friendly as eating insects. I don't eat meat, that doesn't make meat dirt to me. No one will be forced to eat insects by any force other than meat getting expensive. Your categories beg the question, are insects dirt? I say dirt is dirt, food is food, paper is paper, and poop is poop. If you're living in the right area you will eat people, fish, insects, or diet coke. If insects produce nutritious food at a decent price, why not? Seriously! The types of insects being considered for food (caterpillars and mealworms specifically) do not eat sewage, btw. If you know of any insects that somehow eat sewage and become edible food, let me know because I've never heard of that. I've heard of plants using processed cow dung as fertilizer though, and I'm ok with eating it, are you? If you put aside the false equivalences of your 4 categories, can you still make a case against insects as food? > -G. (creative commons; non-commercial use, with attribution) you objected to the list being archived with your name, how would you like to be cited if your article is republished elsewhere?

Hire a long-distance bike courier and support a Bike Odyssey

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

A friend of mine, Caitlyn, is riding and writing across the US this summer. Amongst other things, she offers to deliver letters along her route in-person! Pretty cool. She is running an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for her journey and any proceeds exceeding her goal go to Biketopia, a community bikeworkshop in south Berkeley that I am part of. Support her here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bike-odyssey-riding-and-writing-across-th… Make a great day, Morten

Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Tommy York

I can't remember exactly from last week, but maybe you brought this up, Marc? I think this is a really great idea, which could bring in revenue (from the kits), more revenue (from workshops focusing on building the kits, and not necessarily for adults [sudo-kids?]), and members (from people who enjoy the workshops thoroughly). Though it is currently being done: If I remember correctly, I think people in the community - Mitch Altman? - do workshops like this. And though an internet "competitor" exists - Maker Shed's kits (http://www.makershed.com/) - and I haven't yet done a significant amount of research about the kind of kits that they offer and so forth, I think it'd be really neat to purchase the parts, design really fun, age-appropriate packaging, sell the kits at some kind of minimal markup online, then above and beyond that have donation-suggested workshops where we guide people through the process of assembling whatever the kit is. Even if other hackerspaces / non-hackerspace entities / for-profit corporations are doing a similar concept, we'll have people interested who are geographically proximate to Sudoroom. Also, we have ideas: the lock picking class brought in great PR (in my opinion), and I'm guessing that the listserv would have a bunch of great ideas that are quirky, exciting, feasible, etc. I've always wanted to build a bunch of modular synthesizer modules, but that's kind of a fringe / eccentric interest. It'd be great to use Sudo-fund for this discussion, if people are interested. ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

Re: [sudo-discuss] Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Ryan Lyle

I propose the following: 1. Host circuit fabbing workshops on a donation basis. This is useful for both inexperienced Sudoers (ahem) as well as the community at large. Call it a workshop/training session. See step 2. 2. Enlist newly trained Sudoers and supportive community members in an afternoon of mass assembly. Provide beer. 3. Sell kits to those who weren't interested in building them. 4. Make bacon.

Hey Everyone, It would be great if I could get some help with this event by moving furniture, and etc.? Should be a thought-provoking film and a great opportunity to meet IWW people and Daryl Cherney. I will make some food ahead of time. Let me know. -- Cheers, Rusty Lindgren **
