Great idea, Charley! Sudo Mesh has been doing quarterly workshops and it's been really effective. Gives us time to plan a schedule and promote widely, and lotsa members show up and help with various facets of the event because we divvy up the work and people commit to specific roles (eg; A/V, chairs setup, welcome table, presentations, intro, food, promo/flyering, stickers/swag). I think 5moF facilitation has been hard because it seems like all the organizing work is pretty much on one begrudging volunteer each month. If we do switch to quarterly, might be wise to stagger them on different weeks than the mesh workshops, so that more sudoers who work on mesh can also help with 5mof. Next mesh workshop is September 23rd... so early Sep could work well. ^_^ On Jul 24, 2017 12:16 PM, "Charley Sheets" <rcsheets(a)acm.org> wrote: > On Mon, 24 Jul 2017 09:04:59 -0700 > robb <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 6:29 AM, Marc Juul <juul(a)labitat.dk> wrote: > > > > > don't have time > > > > > > +1 > > maybe try again in sept. > > Should we space 5MoF out more?

Fwd [Mesh] Tuesday hacknight tomorrow in SF instead

by aaronco36＠sdf.org

Unsure if the Mailman again crashed, thus causing emails from the past week (including this one) to be sent later. But anyyyywaaaay, here goes.... Quoting Marc Juul <juul at labitat.dk>: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They Mozilla/NSF WINS event is scheduled tomorrow on top of our normal meeting. More info on the challenge that this event is about here: https://wirelesschallenge.mozilla.org/ There will be a 40 minute panel which will include myself, and I believe Thu Nguyen (the founder of Flowzo), Ahsan Baig (Deputy CIO, City of Oakland) and Kalimah Priforce (CEO, Qeyno Labs). *When and where:* July 25, 6:30 - 8:30pm PT Mozilla Community Space, 2 Harrison St, San Francisco, CA 94105 *RSVP for the event here <https://goo.gl/forms/piPSVK40Y50yJXer1>* -- marc/juul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yes, that happened as planned. Robb and others of us at HHN watched and/or heard the live streaming of the Mozilla/NSF WINS event. You all can download and view the stream by visiting https://air.mozilla.org/nsf-wins-bay-area-meet-up/ , choosing the 'Download' tab, and then saving the download from one of the links in that tab as WebM (HD) or Mpeg4 (HD) -- -- I suggest renaming the download to something much more intelligible than the default webm.webm, hd_webm.webm, mp4.mp4 or hd_mp4.mp4. Mark 1st appears at 23 minutes ~49 seconds into the vid, taking his seat and carrying his bottled beverage, and he starts speaking at 24 minutes ~28 seconds. -A

surface mount electronics donation

by Jake

personally i think we should accept those parts, but we've been getting rid of a lot of unnecessary stuff from sudoroom recently (well mostly not me doing it) so anything that we get from them that doesn't belong in sudoroom will get recycled if nobody else wants it. I will say that the last stuff we got from them seems to be pretty decently useful, most of it, so that's a good sign. I don't think we want the carousels though, they seem like the kind of thing you use in a factory where you have plenty of space and need random access fast, whereas we are only going to survive in sudoroom if we can store stuff densely and compensate by keeping good records of where stuff is parked. -jake On Wed, 26 Jul 2017, Patrik D'haeseleer wrote: > By the way - I may be able to get a bunch more surface mount components, > from the same lab from which I brought over several boxes full of spools > before.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Monthly sudo meeting tonight at 7 pm!

by aaronco36＠sdf.org

Pls de-confuse me (and perhaps a very few others?) According to sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2017-July/013439.html , the 'Monthly sudo meeting tonight at 7 pm!' was dated last week for Wed Jul 12 2017 and is just now reaching my Inbox. Was there a delay in getting out last week's notice (as I think likely), or is/was the notice for _tonight_?? Adding to the confusion is that _today's_ posting sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2017-July/013445.html is for someone trying to come by during 2nd shift -- was 1st shift _last_ Wed? was 1st at last night's HHN? or is 1st as later on _tonight_ O.o?

Let's organize sudo room!

by Marc Juul

Last wednesday, inspired by the organizing Adam, Jenny and Robb have been doing at sudo, some of us went and got a bunch of transparent plastic bins in various sizes and cleared out one of the big shelving units. Let's continue the effort tonight! We can ask the hardware hackers for opinions on how to sort various things, since it's also hardware hack night! -- marc/juul
