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.

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?

This is your monthly donation invoice. Thank you for stewarding the
commons!

we need a shop that can precisely and cleanly cut a panel of steel for
something electrical in the building, using a waterjet or plasma or laser CNC
setup.
emphasis on clean and precise edges, it needs to look good. We can live with
anywhere from 16gauge to 22gauge (1/16" to 1/32") but we'd like to get it done
ASAP.
can anyone recommend a shop? let me know

Hey,
No Sudo Room happened today.
Trying to think of ways to Make Sudo Room Hack Again ? :
Mutual aid tech workshop in combo with ongoing Free Store & North Oakland
Mutual Aid ?
(Offer free tech advice for people trying to fix their laptops or Juiceros
? )
Create a Sudo Room zine about DIY/DIT open source culture(s) ?
Get-rich-quick schemes ? (similar to It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia but
actually successful schemes ?)

Hello Sudo folks!
Food not Bombs your neighborly collective at the Omni is looking to
purchase a table/I-pad to better track food flow and inventory. The goal is
to have the tablet installed on the main Fnb fridge downstairs but we also
want to make it theft proof. Does anyone have advice on how to installed a
locked tablet to a fridge ?
Kind regards,
Silver

Sorry, I know this is the wrong list, but. I just finished working at the
Berkeley food bank. They have a bumper crop of bread and strawberries to
possibly drop off, if it makes sense, to do so. I don't have a car,
otherwise I would drop off a small load to the fridge outside.
Does anyone here know who I can reach out to for larger food donations?
