Hi everyone,
you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email
list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for
those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of
any means you can invoke.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the
telescreen.
i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's on the
sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway
because of diminishing returns :)
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you need to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, and chat with each
other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!

Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help!
I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool!

So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested.
The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!
I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer
driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle
parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each
once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to
attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people!
- the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of
the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open! lots of
taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side
san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate
- the east bay bike party (which is this friday)!
https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/
- the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super
interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and
start messing around with cool designs.
- there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay
richmond) at this event
- multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of
opportunities to play with mobile light projections
- the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to
think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf
the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile
light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the
evening it will be fun

Chatting with Noisebridge - They're having their stupid hackathon in April
(4/1-3 ) and there's going to be a lot of fun!
https://www.noisebridge.net/images/5/51/NB14posterV4.jpg
They're interested in doing light projection mapping for the Noisebridge
event, but also showing SudoRoom history and fundraising as well. I can
imagine so many cool ways to use light projection mappings with artists at
this party!
