Hey all,
I wanted to reach out for some feedback. Seeking folks who would want to
facilitate or participate in a men's group.
I've previously participated in small groups like this and found them
beneficial for various reasons. I would like to see if folks have had
similar or different experiences.
The way I'm thinking about this would culminate in something like a regular
meeting for men in the sudo room community to discuss relevant issues
including those of identity, oppression, privilege,…
[View More] patriarchy, gender,
sexuality, stereotypes, safe space, and mutual support.
This may not be the best or even a viable path to approach these topics,
but I wanted to throw it out there to see if there is any interest.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi friends,
Hopefully some of you have received invoices for April rent and March
shared expenses at the Omni. You may have noticed that we've switched our
invoicing software over to Quickbooks. Their credit card processing fees
are much lower than Wave's (our previous software), so we're able to save
the Omni a little bit of $$. Yay!
If you haven't yet received your rent and shared expense invoices, check
your spam folders! I noticed that emails from Quickbooks get delivered to
the "…
[View More]promotions" tab on my gmail account.
You should still be able to pay your invoices with a credit card, but let
me know if you have any trouble. This is the first round of invoices we've
sent using Quickbooks so there may be a few glitches to work out.
Please pay your invoices as soon as you're able and let the finances
working group know if you will be late in paying them or if you have any
questions.
Thanks and <3,
SP + Finances WG

I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the
event, but I'd really like to see it happen.
I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to
do it!
Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a
paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part
of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Anyone else notice that the NASDAQ Composite Index has about reached the nominal peak of the dotcom boom? It's not at the real value peak (i.e. adjusted for inflation), but still pretty peakish:
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=COMP&instty…
It seems to me that additional market forces caused by the likes of a crisis in student debt or perhaps a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, could hasten the inevitable burst. Otherwise we may be looking at just a …

I'm thinking maybe deposit equal amounts of this pile of trash (passive
aggressively dumped in from of a "No Trash Here Plz" sign!) in the middle
of each room of the building?
Seriously though - does anyone have any thoughts as to what to do about
this situation? I know I'm not the only person who has dealt with the trash
but seeing this only weeks after personally making a huge dump run puts me
right on the very border of freak out city.
I'm not making another dump run!!
Help!!

Hello all,
After many months, I found my long-lost shopvac the other day (large orange
tubby-looking 'Rigid' brand) - it seemed to have re-emerged with the sudo
cleanup.. very happy about that.
I put a new filter in and installed it back under the chop saw. Please all,
leave it there and do not remove it - it is set up this way to inhale the
dust from the saw so there is less mess and the air remains healthier. To
turn on the chopsaw, simply click on the power strip thats ziptied to the
side -…
[View More] this turns on the vacuum too. I ask that everyone leave this setup
as one unit. If you need to use the rip saw, simply lift the chopsaw stand
off and unplug it, then put it back on when you're done.
For normal shopvac'ing, the tall RED 'ShopVac'-brand shopvac (that I also
installed a new filter to) should be the one used for other jobs. Currently
I saw this one last, also in the secure storage room, but now that the
orange Rigid one is returned the red one should be put the red one back in
sudo room (as I believe it is sudo's anyhow - not sure why it is in the
secure storage room, but probably someone thought it was the best place for
it).
If you need to use the random orbital sander with a shopvac (makes the
sanding pads last much longer and produces far less dust too) -- in the
secure storage room, there is a large black flexible vacuum tube with a
sander exhaust attachment permanently taped onto it (with shiny metal
tape). Attach one end to the the sander, and the other end to one of the
other shopvac's (any one that is not not part of the chop/ripsaw stand
setup) and you're good to go for that stuff, too.
Hope this helps clarify stuffs.
Love,
David

Hi friends,
Here is Sudo Room's invoice for your State Farm insurance policy in March. Let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, please pay as soon as you're able.

Hi all,
Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that
would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able
to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms
with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid
skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil).
Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups
interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport,
only …
[View More]half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick
up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around
the airport.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you.
The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch it
up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a
lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time,
was that Rikke's?
Thanks!

Has anyone been blogging their projects at SudoRoom? I know Luis has been doing stuff.
I think it'd be nice to document my stuff more so folks know what's possible at SudoRoom
Sent from my iPhone
the other day i noticed a bunch of copper wires I had near the robot were
gone. I thought it was strange that they were all taken.
today Rob mentioned that someone has taken all the copper windings off of
his project. He also says that a week ago, his phone was stolen from
where it was with his shirt, and his shirt was found outside.
We all should have seen this coming but I really don't want this to keep
happening. I think we might need to start thinking about locks on the
sudoroom/…
[View More]CCL space, on all three doors connecting the room.
when members close down the space they will be able to lock the doors and
then we don't have to worry as much about people tearing apart our hard
work so they can cash in copper to get a few bucks...

Hi all,
I moved the microwave, toaster, and toaster oven out of CCL and back
upstairs. Keeping our lab clean enough to do real work is hard enough as it
is without having kitchen appliances all over the place. (Someone had also
moved the microwave into the wetlab part of CCL, which is most definitely
NOT ok.)

the kitchen area upstairs has been resolved weeks ago, so there's no reason
for them to stay down here. I have …

Hello Sudo Discuss!
I'm going to be staying in Oakland for the month of April and have an
intention of spending as much time as possible in Sudo Room. I visited Omni
Commons in October while in town for the aspiration tech conference and
have been wanting to come back ever since.
I have been working with a group called Agile Learning Centers who's aim is
to revolutionize education though methodologies adapted from Agile project
management. Over the last 7 months I've been in Everett …
[View More]Washington working
with a few families on a cooperative home school. My time here is over and
I'm making my way back across the country to NYC (my home).
I'll be going to the JS study group and other events in the space. The mesh
networking stuff also sounds fun and I am keen on learning some hardware
hacking.
I'd also like to put forward some offerings, I am a front end web developer
and facilitator. If anyone is interested in learning some personal goal
setting and task management stuff or CSS/HTML I'm happy to share my
knowledge. I'm a big fan of collaborative systems thinking and meetings, so
I'll be sure to stop by the sudo room general meeting.
I'm also bringing a computer tower down, and if I can get my big hard drive
out of it I'd like to donate the computer to the space at the end of the
month (possibly).
I look forward to meeting y'all in the space!
Here's my blog about my time as a facilitator in Everett:
drew.agilelearningcenters.org and my general blog is here: dru2.com
Let me know if there are any projects that could use my skills or that
anyone needs help with for the month, I love to help out.
Best,
Drew

Hey Sudo!
I was hoping we could get some basic lighting together for a show on Sunday
and didn't know if Sudo/Sudoers may have some lighting we could use
temporarily to add a bit of ambiance.
I spoke with Rob (don't have his email handy) the other day and he said he
was working on some cool lighting stuff..
I saw the cool lighting with Creature Human Creature Human performance and
it was amazing how it transformed the ballroom into a more intimate-feeling
space - it'd be cool to try to start …
[View More]being able to do that (albiet at a
less-professional scale) with other stuff we do in the ballroom to.
Advice, help, thoughts?
Love!
David

a while ago, i brought an embroidery machine to sudoroom, thinking it would be
a lot of fun. as is often the case, i was wrong and nobody ever took much
interest in it. It's still there but it's taking up too much space to
stay.
it's a meistergram model M100 i think, and it looks like this
http://www.zzapplique.com/Meistergram_1.jpg
i spent a night tuning it up, unjamming mechanisms and oiling things. April
bought a pack of new needles for it, and then somehow we ended up with
…
[View More]literally hundreds of needles (the weird kind that this machine uses, slightly
thinner shank than a standard sewing machine)
it works fine and comes with a couple of fonts. you arrange the letters in the
plate to spell the word or message, wrap the shirt or fabric around the hoop
and attach it to the pantograph, and then use the pedal to run the machine
while you use your hands to trace the peg in the stencil.
it could be used with 3d printed designs to embroider images, or manually cut
stencils, or you can just use it freehand. Oh and the knee pedal widens the
stroke of the needle for that calligraphy effect.
you must provide transportation, like a pickup truck or cargo van, and it
takes a few people to move it but there are people at sudoroom who can
help. It's now on wheels so once you get it there, it moves around easy.
if you want it, let me know. otherwise i will advertise elsewhere like
craigslist.

Dear Sudo Room,
Here's your invoice for April's rent at the Omni. You'll notice that we've switched to Quickbooks for invoicing. You will still be able to pay using your credit card by following the link in this invoice. Quickbooks' credit card processing fee is much less than Wave (our previous accounting software).

Hi y'all,
I need more compost for my garden. Used up my two-year pile. Berkeley is
giving away free compost, as much as you can take, to Berkeley residents
this Saturday.
http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/uploadedFiles/Parks_Rec_Waterfront/Marina/FREE…
Does anyone else here need compost (and is a Berkeley resident)? Or is
anyone here a Berkeley resident and can go with me to get the compost?
Happy to throw you $ or barter. And of course an a bottomless basket of
hot peppers, greens, limes.
…
[View More]Thanks a ton.

Hey sudo!
There's been little to no attendance at the sudoroom weekly meetings
lately, but we have a couple of important Omni proposals we need to
discuss and consent on this Wednesday:
* Optik Allusions tenancy:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Optik_Allusions_Tenancy
** tl;dr: Optik Allusions is seeking to become a tenant of the Omni,
converting and stewarding the 'crow's nest' room above the stage into a
reservable common space for media and post-production work. They intend
to contribute $100-…
[View More]$150/month to Omni, provide production assistance for
events, and throw dinner-and-a-movie type fundraisers.
* Black Hole Collective Lab proposal:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Proposals#Black_Hole_Collective_Lab.7CProposal…
** tl;dr: Black Hole, an Omni member-collective, would like to build
their celluloid film editing labs in one of the small rooms in the
basement, and would be setting up their wetlab in the northwest corner
of the basement. They're offering to renovate the moldy basement room
and pay $400/month rent after that work is done and the space is usable.
* Omni Yoga to steward the Disco Room
** "we interface with all users/renters of the disco room (to make sure
they have insurance or get on our plan as additional insured)
** therefore we handle booking for the disco room
** a portion (to be determined, sliding scale, situational dependent) of
proceeds/fees go to the insurance fund
** we keep the room clean, and pursue cleaning deposit deductions
** get insurance as a collective UA!"
Thoughts, feedback, questions, concerns and especially meeting
attendance appreciated :)

No Sidewalk …
[View More]Boozin
PROPOSAL: NO DRINKING OF ALCOHOL ON SIDEWALKS OUTSIDE OMNI[EDIT]
* Proposal date: 2015-03-23
* Put forward by: DK
* Proposal that no alcohol is to be consumed on the sidewalks immediately outside the Omni by Omniers.
* Rationale:
+ Recent evidence that, and communication from, Omni neighbors who like the Omni generally but have shown that at least some will call the cops on 'drunk
people' hanging out outside Omni. The neighborhood is beginning to push back on this and we should respect that.
+ Drinking outside has also attracted local drunks who are not Omninoms with attendant safe space issues
+ This is a clear legal and liability issue for Omni. Cameras on buildings across the street record this activity 24x7 and this could be used to buttress any
argument against Omni as a solid, safe place for community gatherings.
+ We recognize that this practice began after a long hard day of working on the space - laying up drywall etc - that folks wanted to simply sit outside, take
a break and perhaps have a beer. However it shouldn't be the case that it is normal for having beers outside omni on a daily basis as inevitably trouble
will result.
+ This is not a proposal for omni to be a 'dry' space which would be pretty much impossible considering the need of the frequent fundraisers, 'socials',
ballroom rentals, etc. It is to say though that no alcoholic beverages are to be consumed in the immediate area outside the premises of Omni.

There's still seats available for my fun and popular workshop -- a week from today!
Arduino For Total Newbies
Sunday, March 29th, 1pm - 4:30pm.
Anyone can learn. All welcome! All ages.
Please spread the word to anyone you think may be interested.

Arduino For Total Newbies
workshop at Noisebridge
Learn all you need to know to make cool projects with Arduino!
You've probably heard lots about …
[View More]Arduino. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a TV-B-Gone remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you.
Summary:
What: Arduino workshop for total newbies, using TV-B-Gone remote controls as an intro example project
When: 1:00pm to 4:30pm, Sunday, March 29th
Where: Noisebridge map (including where to push the buzzer)
Who: Anyone and everyone can have fun learning Arduino. Ages 10 to 100
Max #: 50 participants -- This workshop will fill up, so please arrive early!
-- Precedence given to those who register in advance at:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160…
Cost: $35 -- includes everything you need!
And you get to bring your Arduino TV-B-Gone home with you.
Optional: $20 communications/programming cable
-- (some will be available to use for free during the workshop).
Instructor: Mitch
Register for the workshop:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/arduino-for-total-newbies-workshop-tickets-160…
Optional: Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it.
Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Description:
Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well.
This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.
Taught by Mitch Altman. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.
Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original TV-B-Gone for Arduino.
Itinerary:
Intro to ArduinoVery short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught well over 50,000 people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful. Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Evil Mad Scientist: DiavolinoNow that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine! And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your BoArduino. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available after the workshop.
You are now ready to download and hack zillions of Arduino projects that are available for free online!
Best,
Mitch.
