what are some sustainable donation ideas? i thought this summer i could help out by making quick videos and highlighting what people are doing at sudoroom. Although I don't like video, it's better suited for me than teaching youth. (I"m a hacker/creator) I thought it would help and be more effective than a fundraiser. Maybe I was wrong. Do you think if people highlighted their individual projects it might be more effective? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Crypto parties

by Jehan Tremback

Hey, I want to start up the crypto parties at Sudo again. I've heard that nobody is doing them right now. I understand that I basically just need to put it in the calendar and show up on the last Sunday of every month and teach people tor browser, signal, etc. Thoughts? -Jehan

any one want to blog about the crypto party?

by Romy Ilano

It'd be cool to see someone post even anonymously their opinions. the blog looks mostly like a posting of events. I liked the sudomesh post where jenny went to eastern europe. I know you are all opinionated... anyone up for updating the blog with today's crytpoparty? You're all a colorful bunch I bet you could make it hilarious! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Help Keep Sudo Room Alive!

by Karissa McKelvey

[image: Inline image 1] Sudo Room <https://sudoroom.org/> *Creative community and hackerspace* *Help Keep Sudo Room Alive* Sudo Room is continuously short on rent, so any contributions will really help! As a member, we suggest a monthly due of $60, and accept non-monetary contributions such as delicious snacks brought to our Wednesday night meetings. We are on the collaborative hacker honor system. If you are doing well monetarily, feel free to pitch in a bit more than $60 so that someone else can pay less and still enjoy the hack. If you have any problems making a recurring donation, please let substack or juul know in IRC (#sudoroom on freenode) for a quick fix. Sudo Room is very close to becoming an official non-profit. We're excited to become a non-profit because it will mean that all donations to Sudo Room will be retroactively tax-deductible with the IRS. However, we need to raise $400 filing fee for our IRS 501(c)3 application. If you want to help with this process in any way, please contact info(a)sudoroom.org. DONATE NOW <https://sudoroom.org/donate/> You can also help keep Sudo Room alive by reaching out to your workplace, other organizations, philanthropists, and grant funders. These folks can help bring in one-time donations or matching donations that really help! Applying to grants is easier than you'd think, and anyone who would like to will be supported in their efforts. *Short on cash? Help with Stuff!* Sudo room is seeking a boat-load of organizing tools--like clear bins, shelving, label-makers, and other materials. If you have any of these things, drop a note to info(a)sudoroom.org or sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org! AND if you can donate $$$ to help purchase and pick up these supplies, it would be a high return on your investment! Thank you for everything.

vending machine #1 nearing operational status

by Jake

the black vending machine (closest to the exit sign and bathroom) is nearly operational. Thanks to Lesley for helping with the power cord and networking cables! There is a beaglebone black inside which is on the network, and I am working on software to get it to be able to dispense whatever we put in there. We need a quality combination lock for the thing, so that multiple people can add goodies to it. and of course there is a lot of software to write. At first, you will only be able to pay using your sudo-humans account, and any money you put into it. I am only working on the software for the hardware - making the internal electronics able to dispense product when the software triggers it. If anyone wants to help with that, let me know - it's just arduino C. Of course if you want to work on it, I will set you up with access codez. -jake

Project help?

by Matt Bush

Hello sudoers, I'm trying to build a pseudo-docking station for my laptop, that would enclose the power, hdmi and thunderbolt plugs that I currently have to plug in separately (all are right next to each other). The best idea I've had for how to do this has been to create a 3-d computer model of the plugs, and then 3-d print an enclosure that can house all three of them. Do you have a laser scanner that could make such a model? I have some experience with 3d printing, but I've never used a laser scanner before, so I'd need some help with that, as I understand they can be quite finicky. I would plan on making a monetary donation to sudoroom, and/or becoming a member. Alternatively, if anyone has any other ideas about how to do this, I'd welcome them. Thanks! -Matt Bush
