could someone arrange to have mom hackers to come in the space?
I know this is sort of sexist, but instead of them being seen as human
beings, they will spend the whole time talking about how they are
stereotypical mothers, and they buy mom things, and do things that moms
traditionally do like take care of kids and care of their husbands.
then they will work on a project that involves:
charity
child care
something with refugees
we can do this for PR
then when the whole thing is over we will take them in the back and take
off their shackles and tell them they are not just mothers but human
beings! their lives do not revolve around baby pictures on Facebook ! they
will not have to watch romantic comedies or work on craft and scrapbooking
projects but be fully fleshed human beings with careers, interests and
lives!!!
liberation!

*could someone who is really good at interior design and is down with
burning man come in and dress up SudoRoom so that it looks charming like a
$500,000 burning man set instead of just a workshop where smart people come
to hack things?*
I suck at this stuff and i have a lot to do but I will try my best to add
more "blinky lights" elements to the space.
*I think a similar analogy is that of a real artist's studio versus how you
present the artist's studio when a patron comes in. *
*usually these places are a mess of broken bottles and stuff and look
disgusting, but when you have this gallery walk through day, people tidy
things up and you make it look like an upscale fashion boutique on valencia
street in the mission*

*Here is a second cyberwizard blog post - it has adventures in html and vim*
please pass around / watch / direct people to it and see if they can donate
too
this is the real stuff that makes SudoRoom special.
I don't know of too many other people who would favor teaching newbies and
random people vim alongside beginning html. I don't know anyone else who
takes time to explain the history of unix while teaching the command
line... it's really nice!
and then please ask people to donate!

Hellos Sudoers-Meshers,
*If you need to get in touch with me, please use my email address.*
Lost Cellphone:
It's been a few days now that I have lost my cellphone.
For almost two months now I have been careless about keeping the phone on,
and even to carry the phone with me.
And even though that the feeling that we are under constant illegal
surveillance is awful; I still need that thing to communicate with the rest
of the world (textsecure, redphone).
Anyhow, If you found a Samsung Nexus 4, with some tape on the front camera
lens; please let me know. Changes are that I may have left it at Sudo, by
accident.
Regardless: it is good that at least I backed up about a three months ago.
Too bad that Prey Project cannot tell me where it is, perhaps because it is
without charge right now. But, it is good that at least it is encrypted.
Many thanks,
Daniel
p.s. intended subliminal-message: secure your phone, 'cuz the changes of
getting lost are high.

hey dudes! could someone who is usually too busy to sudoroom but loves us
come in and do some kind of thing on our 3d printer with this 3d printer
that prints "do not copy" keys?
It would be a nice blog post and if you make it extra snarky but not mean
it would pump a cynical hacker's ego.
Plus it would get al to of people who talk about hackerspaces to look at us
and give us donations!

This is sort of terrible and evil but we need moneCould someone do a 1x thing wihh little girls in pink where they learn electronics through jewelry ? This is harmful and terrible but it's what people like. After we take lots of photos and the girls Potential is destroyed (just kidding ) you can sneak them into the back and tell them they can play with unisex toys !
