We do! Our paired DSL comes with two phone numbers:
510-858-5052
510-858-7145
Right now our modem is attached directly to a 2-line jack. To start
receiving calls, all we need is a splitter box and DSL filters. Last I
checked there were a number of decent handsets …
[View More]lying around. We really
should have done this already, and I'm glad someone is showing the
initiative. :)

I think sudoroom should have a telephone! a real telephone, wired into
the wall. Perhaps sudoroom already has a telephone number? I don't know.
The reason i say this is because unlike noisebridge, sudoroom is only open
(to non-members a.k.a. potential members) at uncertain times.
I would really like to be able to tell these people "call this number to
see if anyone is at the space". That way, if sudoroom is open, the
members there can answer the telephone and tell the noobs that it's …
[View More]okay
to bike over, or whatever they do for transport.
If there is not a telephone at sudoroom already, I think we should set up
a VOIP phone. I know there is at least one VOIP box at sudoroom and if
not, i volunteer to donate one. (it's just a little box that plugs into
the ethernet, and has a telephone jack)
If anyone has a nice telephone, we can use that. Alternately I volunteer
to grab a payphone from noisebridge (there are a couple on a shelf) and
bolt it to the wall inside sudoroom and set it up.
but i am not willing to set up the VOIP account and configure the little
box, someone else can do that. Fortunately the cost of a VOIP phone line
is on the order of $2 per month (yes thats right).
I think it should be a 510 number, because some people don't have long
distance and it actually matters.

Folks,
Subiir needs more bottles still, in order to bottle our most recent batch.
So get your beer-face, get to drink, rinse with the bottle washer and place
in cupboard. Also, remember to get regular capped bottles, no twist-tops :)
Harrr!
Make a great day,

hi everyone,
radio room was rearranged this past weekend and is still somewhat in flux.
things are disconnected and kind of all over the place.
also the raspberry pi that was streaming content from the radio room to
radio.sudoroom.org has a problem and i am borrowing both it and the audio
interface that was attached to it to troubleshoot it. i've left notes in
the radio room to this effect as well. will aim to return both of these
(hopefully fixed!) within the next few days!
best,
marina
Have you see a Verizon flip phone? Please direct reply me ASAP!
[*As Sudo phone secretary (I set up the business number required for us to
be acknowledged as a "Google Place"), I get many interesting calls--from
swanky photographers' secretaries looking to use the space to host a photo
shoot, to people looking for space for meetings, people wanting someone to
talk to and people asking when we're open.*]
Hi Veggie Friends in Tech,
If you or a friend is looking for a place and want to live in a
veggie/vegan house, please give me a call. I live in a nice house in
Oakland by the lake and looking to have one roommate who is vegetarian or
vegan (I am vegan).
I will give you more details when you call or text. Please tell me that you
are part of this group.

hi everyone,
i'm here with liberty and we'd like to follow up on last week's
*classy*action item:
"Who the fuck are we?" Assessing folks who've signed up to be members [in
final tab on the fiscal solvency sheet] [Danny, Liberty, Brendan]"
unfortunately i don't have danny or brendan's email (and am even not sure
if they are on this list). could someone possibly confirm whether they are
on this list or copy them on a reply to myself and liberty? let's have some
updates for tomorrow!
best,
marina
Hi everyone!
I'm working with Judi from San Leandro to put together our first BACH [Bay
Area Consortium of Hackerspaces] newsletter. We'd like to highlight the
projects people are working on in various hackerspaces around the Bay Area.
*Please reply to this thread with a one-sentence description of something
you've been working on at the space* (feel free to add more details, but
start with a sentence that summarizes so I don't have to ;) ).
I'll start: The Oakland mesh group just finished a …
[View More]successful crowdfunding
campaign <https://www.wepay.com/xtewtey> to bootstrap the first 100 nodes,
consisting of low-cost routers and antennas to make point-to-point wifi
connections across the East Bay.
Mesh networks are awesome because they don't depend on the existing
centralized Internet Service Providers to function. Though they can be
connected to the Internet as we know it now, a mesh provides a
decentralized means of communication with our local community. We view mesh
networks as a means of reconnecting to our neighbors, supporting local
businesses, and enabling grassroots community collaboration. In the event
of disaster or government censorship, an active mesh network is a resilient
mode of communication and sharing of information. Learn

Thanks!

There used to be a way to listen online to OPD's radio communications
here: http://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/10182
This required someone in the city to connect an analog radio and serve
the content digitally. They regularly had over 100 listeners, and
peaked at 3000+ during crisis events. But it was hosted in an office
that just closed shop and so as of today, they had to take down their
feed. Right now I don't think there's another way to listen to OPD
online.
Perhaps this is a gap …
[View More]that Sudoroom could fill? Does anybody know how
to get something like this set up? I imagine we'd need to relay to a
data center because of the large number of streamers. Or maybe just
colocate locally? Does anyone know a cheap colo in Oakland?
