The vending machine now provides some more feedback after money is put in. Source code associated with my contribution is here. I haven't documented the other components of the vending machine. https://thomaslevine.com/scm/sudo-vending Based on the implementation details, it appears to me that the bill acceptor is in fact plugged into one board (Arduino Leonardo) that is connected by serial to another board (Raspberry Pi). Why is the former board used at all? That is, why is the bill acceptor not plugged directly into the latter board?

reinstate Rannette's good standing

by Brendan Reddy-Best

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?

can we implement stuff-org at sudoroom?

by Jake

Henner wrote this awesome parts organizer web service, and it's running at noisebridge (and his house): https://github.com/hzeller/stuff-org here's the noisebridge implementation (type a letter to begin instant search): https://parts.noisebridge.net/# i would love to help fill it with information about the stuff we have at sudoroom, but i am not confident in my ability to install it and get it running on our network. If someone feels good about doing this, sudo make it happen and i'll help. -jake

Hi all, Sudo-room is currently broke. Not taking in enough money to cover expenses nor plan for any future needs. Who is interested in reviewing the financial situation and brainstorming some recommendations for bringing in additional funds? I’m happy to help set and track goals. Thanks, The Cap’n

sudoroom 3D printer is working!

by Jake

I uploaded the correct firmware to the machine (it was running firmware for a machine with different physical attributes) and now it seems to print fine. I didn't have the time to properly prepare the bed though, so there was some non-adhesion, but the giant spool of filament is hooked up and it's ready to go. cura-lulzbot slicer is installed on the computer there, and "sudoroom white ABS" filament is defined and should work. Pronterface (red icon) is the program to use to drive the printer and run the gcode generated by cura. don't do the SD card thing, it won't work and is terrible. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/TAZ -jake On Thu, 1 Feb 2018, Paul Orozco wrote: > So I'm coming across something else that's weird.

Discussion Item: Omni Table at Allied Media Conference

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings! For discussion & possible consensus at the next Omni Delegates Meeting on March 1st: I'd like to propose that Omni pay for an exhibition table ($100) at the Allied Media Conference <https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc> this summer in Detroit. I will be attending, albeit also as a representative for Sudo Mesh. For those unfamiliar with the conference, it's one of the radder ones I've heard of over the past decade - but have never attended myself. The theme is essentially the intersection of social justice and media - what AMC describes as "media-based organizing <https://www.alliedmedia.org/media-based-organizing>," defined as "any collaborative process that uses media, art, or technology to address the roots of problems and advances holistic solutions towards a more just and creative world." This is the 20th annual conf, which is always located in *Detroit*, and takes place this summer from *June 14-17*. Are any other collective members also planning to attend? Would you be interested in sharing an Omni table to display info about your projects and/or helping to staff the table for some shifts throughout the duration of the conference? *Please forward this email along to your collectives so we can assess our capacity to participate!* If there aren't a few other Omni collective members able to come and help staff the table, perhaps Omni could share Sudo Mesh's table and collectives could provide me with some of your handouts / brochures / flyers / arts / etc for display Please send a reply to me or to discuss(a)omnicommons.org if you'd like to help with organizing around AMC! <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
