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?

donation of vinyl cutter and rolls of vinyl

by Jake

attention sudoroom: do we want to accept a donation of a vinyl cutter which comes with a bunch of rolls of different colors of vinyl material? I know noisebridge has one but they also have a lot more space than we do. I understand the rolls of vinyl take up most of the space. he says the machine works but it uses a serial interface, and probably windows software. I think we could easily set up a computer to dedicate to it so it wouldn't be a barrier to someone who wanted to use it without going through a software oddysey first. i'm guessing it looks something like this: https://productrealization.stanford.edu/content/05-resources/02-processes/1… On Fri, 9 Dec 2016, Cory Albert wrote: > Jake: do you know of anyone active in the printed artist's spaces that I > Cory could donate a big roll of vinyl and vinyl cutters to for sign > making?

privacy / crypto group - any ideas for a workshop on privacy with home voice assistants?

by Romy Ilano

Hey privacy folks - I recently got an Amazon Dash (Echo) and I'm messing around with Alexa. While there are a lot of great things about it, and I'm having fun as a developer creating, I'm interested to see what your perspective is for mainstream people. I saw this article on wired: https://www.wired.com/2016/12/alexa-and-google-record-your-voice You can tease me if you want: I use Siri and I'm interested in Alexa, and I'm sure many of you would never want to use these things. But I'm interested in the advantages and disadvantages of stuff like Alexa and Google Home. I'd love to hold a little workshop on it sometime, maybe after a meeting in January. Any opinions? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

non-profit/collective bike rentals / bike shares

by Romy Ilano

Hey matt, I have a guest in town from Greece. We are doing the usual bike rental thing from a cool bike shop. But are there alternatives to for-profit bike rental in Oakland? Does your collective rent bikes? Can people rent bikes on a platform for something that's not part of a big corporation or a start-up? Best, Romy ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Awesome outdoor POE device !

by Valent Turkovic

Has anyone played with Mikrotik Powerbox? https://routerboard.com/RB750P-PBr2 We just installed two, and they are AWESOME! We use them only as POE switches, but it would be awesome to get OpenWrt working on them... I'll look into that over the next few weeks... Cheers, Valent

transportation hack group -> let's start one

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/hacking-a-tesla-at-hardware-hack-night/ Hey I stopped by sudoroom! and the hardware guys were hacking on a tesla. We have people working at a bike collective too. we are all passionate about trains, I think some sudoroom members have travelled cross country on train as well. And we all know that we love BART and it needs all the help it gets as it reaches epic overcrowding. I'm going to start a SudoRoom transportation hack group! We can cross fertilize at Noisebridge... So there it is! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement I started the Wiki. I'll have more time over break to help out. Some thoughts: - I do not want to this to only be about ride share, although that's important. It'd be cool to have a communal, non-profit alternative to the current car sharing options out there. - Trains!!!!! - Cars - although I don't know that much about cars, I have worked for a car company and have owned a car for the past ten years. I still don't know that much about cars! There is no such thing as a car mechanic collective the way there is a bike mechanic collective. Bike collectives often have a "get to know you bike night" and nothing of that kind exists for cars. The only time I've interacted with cars is at car dealerships and at work and at a mechanic. Until recently I've received little or no detailed data about my car, and its health until a start-up had one of its indie mechanics fill out a "Car report card" for me. I'd love to have something similar for us! Rock on hope you are all enjoying your break! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

how to catch many mice/rats alive with one container

by Jake

this video shows a pretty straightforward way to catch lots of mice alive without having to reset a trap all the time. it's for mice, so since we have rats we would need to do it differently, with a much larger container. but the concept is pretty straightforward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChpMSrBbn3I
