As you know, last week Sudoroom consented to join the Omni Collective and already paid our first/last/deposit. The Omni Collective is still negotiating a lease for the building. They have requested discretion about the exact terms and process until the lease is signed. We can say that our moving goal is June 1st, and we are all planning for that. We'll publically post more information as soon as we can. Meanwhile, more detailed updates can be given individually to anybody interested!

Megan Prelinger @ Maker Faire + Prelinger Library!!

by Vicky Knox

Art History of Electronics ∞ AI ∞ Fractals ∞ The Solar System ∞ Robotics ∞ Information Design If you go to Maker Faire, I would <strong>strongly</strong> recommend seeing Megan Prelinger speak about her new book: "From the Electron to the Solar System, an Art History of Electronics". She has a great mind, and pulled from a lot of rare resources you would only find at the Prelinger Library. If you mention that you are a member of Sudo Room, she will be thrilled. ;] About the Prelinger Library: She and her husband (Rick Prelinger, the film archivist) founded it. It is insane. They specifically seek rare books and ephemera (maps, postcards, zines,...), on topics range from utopianism and anarchism to land management and human geography. They are also on the light side of the IP/open knowledge debate (they go out of their way to note that their library is "appropriation-friendly"). They're very interesting people to meet if you haven't already, and would be happy to meet you during library open hours, which are Wednesdays 1-8p at Rm. #215, 301 8th Street, SF.

I'd like to get this sorted out ASAP...any help would be appreciated. -chrisbee

100's of PCB Spaceships over your head

by X

FYI there's a bunch of mini flying circuit boards floating in a mother ship circling teh Earth at this very moment about to be released as a swarm of bots beaming mind control signals, err I mean CDMA packets, at 437.240 Mhz. Sooooooooo, who's got an SDR dongle and wants to do some serious deep packet inspection from space!?

Re: [sudo-discuss] Makerfaire and Call for Help from Twin Cities

by Madelynn Martiniere

Hey, Bay Area Makers! We're all getting geared up for Makerfaire, hope to see many of you there! Got this email from a fellow maker hailing from Twin City Makers looking for a place to crash in the bay area for the 'Faire, and extending the same offer to anyone visiting Minneapolis. Help a hacker out and spread the word? ******* Madelynn, Greetings! My name is Becca Steffen, and I am a board member and the President of Twin Cities Maker @ The Hack Factory, a maker/hacker space out of Minneapolis, MN. I'm reaching out to you to ask a favor and get some information. I am planning to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire (for something related to the Ultimate Maker Vehicle Challenge.. though I cannot give many details) with one of my fellow board members, and we are trying to figure out a place to stay. We fly in the night of Friday, May 16th and fly back to Minneapolis early in the morning on Monday, May 19th. So, the favor that I'm asking is that if you could spread the word among your membership and see if anyone has a place or knows of a place that two makers from Minneapolis could crash for a few nights, especially if it is close to San Mateo (since we won't have a car). Likewise, I'm extending the offer to Noisebridge folks that should they ever find themselves in the Minneapolis area, that they should feel welcome to utilize our space and we'll find them a place to stay. Any assistance you could give us is greatly appreciated. Also, if you'd like to meet up with us for lunch/coffee/cocktail at some point during the weekend, I'd love to make a connection with you and your space! Thanks, Becca Steffen President TC Maker -- Madelynn Martiniere Community Engineer. Entrepreneur. Geek.
