Putting "SudoRoom opening hours status" on the front page

by Romy Ilano

Hi alls I made a wordpress page SudoRoom Status https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-status/ I'd like for this eventually to be on the front sudoroom page It is not currently on the front page. we could have a web app with a big green light that shows that the space is open on a particular day it is often confusing for visitors sometimes non members want to stop by and hang out, bringing wood equipment etc. and they are not sure if it will be open or not what do you think?

3D printer nozzle not heating up

by Yardena Cohen

This has been a problem since Saturday morning. I'm told it may be a bad connection but I don't know what to do about it. Would anyone knowledgeable be willing to teach me how to troubleshoot and fix this, so we can start printing things again? Thanks!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Choose Your Own Adventure

by Vicky Knox

Yay! On that thread, the CYOA game designer I mentioned yesterday who I learned about via the April Oakland Nights Live is Porpentine. She designs games that are centered around queer/trans/female experience. The game she walked us through was the "High End Customizable Sauna Experience": http://aliendovecote.com/?p=4732 It's super fun! I really enjoyed speaking with her during intermission. Maybe we could see if she'd be interested in joining a writers' meetup, maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure-themed one? On that note, how do my writing kin feel about theming meetups? Maybe I should save this for the writers' list, but I just can't heelp it at this point...:P

Fwd: CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13

by Eddan Katz

of likely interest to Sudo folk... > From: Christopher Kin-Man Wong <christopher.k.wong(a)nyu.edu> > Date: May 20, 2013, 3:08:57 PM PDT > Subject: [Ipprofs] CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13 > > Apologies for cross-posting. > > On October 11-13, the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law will convene the Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference, a first of it's kind, massively interdisciplinary event to explore a 360 degree view of civilian drones and their impact on society. > > Registration will open in the next few weeks but we're putting out a call for proposals now that I thought would be of interest to many of you. The CfP is below, and you can find more information at droneconference.org. Please feel free to distribute widely. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. > > Kind regards, > Chris > > --- > > Call for Proposals > Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference > October 11-13, 2013 > NYU School of Law > > The program committee of the inaugural Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC) is now inviting proposals from individuals across a broad spectrum of expertise. DARC will convene a wide range of stakeholders to explore civilian drones and their impact on society. The conference is presented by the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law and will be held October 11-13, 2013. We invite contributions from all interested disciplines on or before May 27, 2013. > > ABOUT DARC > > What do hobbyists, journalists, university researchers, soldiers, and police all have in common? They're all testing or using aerial robotics, commonly called "drones." > > Imagine a near future in which networks of autonomous robots roam the skies, performing everything from law enforcement, to communications, to crop dusting, shipping and logistics. Sound implausible? It might be. But that's the future that the aerospace industry, the FAA, and a new class of entrepreneurs are busy preparing. And this future is closer to reality than many realize. Drones force a broad reconsideration of the laws and regulatory frameworks that protect vital interests like civil liberties, due process, privacy, innovation, and security. But they also herald new innovations and new public interest applications. > > These technologies are powered by some of the same phenomena that propel the mobile industry—Moore's law, economies of scale, and ever more sophisticated software built by large companies or open source hackers. Anyone can buy a toy drone at the mall for $299, assemble a relatively capable DIY drone for $1000, or buy a sophisticated $50,000 aircraft for amateur photogrammetry. > > As the FAA scrambles to meet its 2015 integration deadline—which will open domestic airspace to hobby aircraft as well as the types of aircraft that currently fly over Afghanistan—DARC provides a forum for entrepreneurs, policy makers, and civil libertarians to constructively engage. Join us this Fall to explore this fascinating, emergent space. > PROPOSALS > > There are few technologies that stimulate such deep and wide-ranging questions about law, technology, and international relations. We welcome all proposals, but please stay substantive and constructive. This list is not exhaustive, but we invite proposals along the following lines: > Anecdotal talks > Popular research > Demos or tutorials > Scholarly research > Constructive discussions > Proposals should address -- but are not limited to -- our five main areas of interest: > General Interest & Zeitgeist > Makers & Entrepreneurs > Law & Regulation > Privacy & Surveillance > Security > Proposals can be submitted via the conference website at https://droneconference.org/proposals. Proposals will be accepted until May 27, 2013. Questions may be sent to contact(a)droneconference.org > > > -- > Christopher Wong > Executive Director > Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy > NYU School of Law > Wilf Hall 408 > 212.998.6595 > christopher.k.wong(a)nyu.edu > ______________________________

Stuff in the back that needs to be fixed to enable great creativity

by Romy Ilano

I suck at cleaning !!! But I helped out a few weeks ago: I found these things in the back. They are probably still there. They look like they enable a lot of neat creativity if they get some love. Maybe in between all the beer and burritos or during that someone can find some time:: Two projector like things . Just imagine! Instant art installation. One has a bulb that is new but the piece is off. Could some one help? Here's another projector thing a document camera. Another potential art installation/ political slogan/ projection with instructions on how to get to the nearest immigrant safety and rights shelter on some lonesome street corner in Berkeley Here's a food mixer that could be used to make salads so people at sudoroom don't have to constantly eat out and waste money After you fix it you could take the logo off, paint art on it. Put a big rant and political slogan about bringing down the polygyny oligarchy .. Yeah ! --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com
