I said "your 'community' space," but honestly, I still want this to be my space, too. I hardly ever make a fuss about any of this stuff because it's all so futile, you know? but in this case, I really want to make my point clear: I think we should rescind our action against Rannette. I think she's been treated unfairly. Even if she is "aggressive" towards you or your compatriots, I don't think we need white dudes policing our space of black women's bodies. Matt, you claim to have acted in another's interest and you offer an injured third party -- let them speak for themselves, because I don't think it's your place right now. If there was a violent incident that threatened our space, let's hear it from a witness or an involved party. "Something Happened" is not good enough. Otherwise "but above all the Omni Commons must maintain a safe, welcoming environment" seems to fly directly in the face of the lived experience of too many black people.

Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group

by Matthew Senate

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, 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

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCL] Free Scanning Electron Microscope in Pleasanton! (was Fwd: [Microscopy] viaWWW:SMI3200 FIB system looking for a good home)

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Here's some images of the Seiko SMI 3200 Scanning Electron Microscope that is in need of a new home: http://www.beamservices.com/used-equipment.html http://www.caeonline.com/listing/product/9025735/seiko-smi-3200 Note that this is NOT a small system! It's not huge as SEM's go, but definitely not desktop - more like "small room sized". And it would obviously need some dedicated person to keep it in good running condition. It is however almost brand new, and currently *running*, at <5nm resolution! Beam Services Inc is down in Pleasanton, so I guess interested parties could potentially go and have a look at the system. This kind of equipment would be a significant commitment and investment in time and effort on our part, so let's coordinate on this shall we?

3D printing my MRI ... scraps of something getting started

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/MRI_3D_Printing Hi, I've been having fun at SudoRoom lately. I have wanted to *3D Print my MRI of my ankle!* I'm trying to overcome some hurdles > -- I'm fundamentally a software and 2D digital person normally, it's hard for me to get into 3D modelling -- I'm used to keyboards, not wrenches and touching things which is why I go to hardware hack night I want to get beyond the stages of just looking at stuff on the 3D Printer. Anyone else up to it? I'm wondering if I should come in more than once a week... ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

"Is Silicon Valley Saving the World or Just Making Money?" interested in doing an opinion piece on our blog similar to the nighttime?

by Romy Ilano

Could we feature four or five members similar to this nytimes piece? i will interview people, do some portraits, starting with troy ;) - we at SudoRoom come from a unique perspective of activism, social causes and art. I think we can add to the conversation. http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2015/07/22/is-silicon-valley-saving-th… Silicon Valley has “a greater capacity to change the world than the kings and presidents of even a hundred years ago,” one wealthy Facebook beneficiary supposedly told <http://www.gq.com/story/silicon-valley-is-a-lie?fb_ref=Default> a tech conference last year. Many tech luminaries think they are ”doing God’s work <http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/03/upshot/can-technology-save-the-world-expe…>.” But are the innovations coming out of the Bay area really creating a new and better world, or just making lots of money for a few people? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

http://sudoroom.github.io/donateNowSplashPage/ https://github.com/sudoroom/donateNowSplashPage it points to the sudohumans page. Hi I overcame any issues I had with marketing and css / web design to make a shell SudoRoom Donate Now splash page. It's sort of like Marketing but not. I grabbed a slideshow and you can modify it and use it... I feel so dirty now that I used jQuery ;) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Minimalist space ?

I work well when learning in clean minimalist empty areas. Do you think it'd be kosher to carve out a clean minimalist space in the Sudoroom ? Sent from my iPhone

sudoroom visitor report: todo / blog post of the javascript meetup last night

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Javascript Last night I dropped by the SudoRoom JavaScript meetup. - *mental state:* I was honestly extremely fatigued, as I have been skipping a few hours of sleep in the past few weeks. Each hour shaved off my sleeping schedule seemed like a tiny thing I was really tired, so I was unable to socialize much with everyone. Despite that it was cool just being around other people who were learning and hacking. I was actually trying to get other work done too, and I don't have time to go deep into javascript. But being around the community at SudoRoom and knowing that *Oakland is javascript cit*y <https://oaklandwiki.org/javascript> got me over my "issues" with JavaScript. I chatted with people, continue to be unable to get some components of sudo-humans installed since I have a mac. (it's the canvas installation and node gyp rebuild that's hitting me) I'll try to get back to that later and help out. So I just went through a tutorial while brushing up on javascript with online learning. I've worked with node.js before, and it's a little hard for javascript beginners to get into since it's so involved but with a little practice I'm able to work it. I've started using node.js for simple scripting jobs. I mostly work as an iPhone programmer but it's nice to be able to do scripts in python and node.js to do busy work. I went over this tutorial, so this is the rough equivalent to a ruby on rails app: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/ it's nice having had the web background in ruby on rails through the rails bridge outreach program. they're the people who first got me using git and github and heroic several years ago before I decided to focus and learn programming. I'm not a rails person but it's something I'd like to get under my belt. I don't claim to know everything but i was able to get a rudimentary mongo db down with the tutorial's help I learned how to push node.js out to heroku. When I first met substack and Sudoroom i was at a hackathon and working on a node.js learning app for kids. It was a cool hackathon and substack makes learning javascript and node.js fun while throwing in a lot of art. at that time I don't think heroku supported node.js so we were using nodejitsu. but now it does, which i learned result so it doesn't look like much but i got to understand the inner workings of node.js express.js and the various frameworks. I'm not saying that it's healthy to dive into the frameworks first without knowing the language fundamentals (or relearning them after you've forgotten them) but I'm also actively reviewing stuff like inheritance, modeling objects in javascript and so on on the free access to the treehouse learning site that i get through my publicly funded san francisco library card. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/helloworld i wasn't able to understand hooking up the app to the free mongodb database on heroku. that probably isn't hard but id din't want to spend the rest of the night looking around. it was nice and quick. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/userlist i'm trying to focus but it's hard, so now i feel i've gotten past my very superficial reviews of node.js now I'm around a lot of really talented people who do a lot of work in node.js so I can ask around, and I'm capable enough now (I hope) to do a lot of self-learning and not have to be dependent on too much coursework or even a book. one of the hardest things to deal with is how quickly the languages and frameworks update. i'm primarily a mobile phone developers who's self taught but i'd like to do more web stuff and back end work, since I enjoy the speed that comes with web development. it takes a little longer to do UI on the mobile phone, and although UI is important it's a different nature and not as vital on a website. (someone will probably argue with me) so although this looks pathetic: it was nice http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/ nice because I was around a lot of javascript people, I got over my fear of node.js and javascript, and i'm on my way to making small web node.js hacks that are useful for different things <3 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
