Hello hello. The FAQ ( https://sudoroom.org/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_become_a_member?) suggests I introduce myself, so, yeah, hello! More about me: https://github.com/lucasgonze/ I was going to put a few dollars in, but the instructions on how to do that rely on Gratipay, which is long gone. Is there an alternative method these days? -Lucas

Please help with cataloging tools

by Eric O'Connor

I spent some time cataloging devices and tools in sudoroom here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Work_Stations Mostly I was just curious what everything is for, so that I know what I could use sudoroom for. Could I have some help adding a description for each of these? Ideally we’d record at least 1) whether it works, and 2) a description that includes a concrete example of something you could do with it. For example, “the TAZ3 printer is used for fused filament fabrication. You could use … [View More]

Connecting SudoRoom to hackerspaces in cities that provide alternatives to cars

by Romy Ilano

I’ve made contact with hackerspaces in Barcelona and Paris - the premise is that outside two other places in the USA the auto and oil industry is so powerful there is simply no way to innovate on transportation The rest of the world is leaving us behind and we’re stuck with larger and larger SUVs and more and more sprawl - for most Americans the idea of walking transit and biking instead of car 🚘 use has become unimaginable even though the car environment is entirely government subsidized … [View More]

proposal: recover $9000 skylights money from contractor

by Jake

this is a proposal to the delegates of Omni Commons, to pursue recovery of our $9000 that we spent on skylights that turned out to be no good (and we had to remove at our own expense) specifically this proposal will require those with knowledge of the situation to cooperate to get our money back through any legal means available, including going after the contractor's bond money with the city/state. We should also figure out what the exact amount is, including costs to remove the Defective "… [View More]

Should we establish working groups?

by Andrew R Gross

*Should we establish working groups?* Currently, there appear to be no formal roles responsible for managing Sudoroom. I think this can lead to all critical functions falling onto a small number of people. At the same time, we've recently seen an increase in new members looking to contribute. If we were to define what functions need done and invite individuals to assume responsibility for these, we could share burdens more broadly by making it easier for willing volunteers to organize … [View More]

Does the sudoroom have a big windows 10 machine I could use to flash a big video card?

by jacques revera

Any chance there is a biggish windows box there I could use to try to flash a GPU with a different BIOS today tomorrow? This is a big GPU for my Mac Pro with the wrong BIOS that won't fit in my windows box. Thing went awry for me flashing the card on Linux command line. Back at computer by 7pm to respond. THAAANKS!!!

we now have a Taz 5 3D Printer

by Jake

We have been donated another 3D printer, this time a TAZ 5 which is visibly better and more solid and well put-together than the TAZ 3 we were given (by the company) 9 years ago. The catch was that it didn't have an extruder, but the extruder from the TAZ 3 very easily swapped onto it with a single screw! The TAZ 3 has never been a good 3D printer (not because of its extruder) and so i'm happy to swap its extruder onto the new one, but it still needs to be wired up - the TAZ 5 didn't come … [View More]
