SudoRoom Meetup events - copied them until mid august!

by Romy Ilano

https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/ D'oh I don't know why I didn't do this before but I copied all the sudoroom events so they're very visible on our meetup page until mid august. Sometimes people can't make it to one event so they look to the next one in the future! Feel free to change anything - I can add you as an admin or I can change the listing myself. I started putting the fixit it clinic in here too ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Meetup created for fixit clinic Tuesday nights!

by Romy Ilano

I can't make it to this one (Have family in town this week) - feel free to ask me to be an admin on this experimental Meetup account I'm testing out. You can then modify the events. We're using them because it gives more visibility to SudoRoom and appears in people's meetup feeds. https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/294875035/?utm_medium=referral&utm_c… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

made some more meetups for this week (part of my experiment)

by Romy Ilano

I'm paying for the meetup account as an experiment. It's been successful in bringing "outsiders" in for the women and non binary group (I always point back to the sudoroom meeting page too) https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/294842373/ I made one for the hardware hack night adnt he women's coding night. Is the Thursday group active? I can't make it this week, but are there any nights when nobody or another group is using the ballroom? I'm probably going to bring in some outside folks and try to absorb them into sudoroom for the audio visual event. I went to a nice art show in Berkeley, it sort of devolved into an involuntary childcare event for all the women, but there were serious artists, wondered if Is hould invite them to the space for an art show! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Re: Awesome stuff happening this week

Do you mean the convention, or the ferry? The convention doesn't allow dogs. According to the ferry website, non-service animals need to be in a carrier. I've met your dog, though, and they're small. I bet they could get away with sitting on your lap, but I don't have enough experience with the ferry to say for sure. I've CC'd the rest of the mailing list. Does anyone know if the ferry enforced the dogs-in-carrier rules? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org> On Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 9:14 AM Jonathan Cadle <jcadle(a)pm.me> wrote: > > Taking the ferry over sounds like fun.

fixing the leak in the sudoroom roof/ceiling

by Jake

As you all might remember, the roof leaks a lot in the southwest corner of sudoroom, when it rains. Going up there, we concluded that there is a low area in that corner, due to settling of the building. There may be other ways to "fix" this, but the most obvious to me is to install a new drain on the roof, in the middle of the low spot. I have acquired a drain that's SOMEWHAT like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Plumber-s-Choice-3-1-2-in-4-in-Kitchen-Sink… we have pipes and a drain in sudoroom (that's presently connected to a traffic cone funnel catching rain from the tarp) that we can connect to this drain. I have a plan for connecting to the drain from inside, after installing it in a hole in the roof, that does not involve a person reaching the ceiling inside sudoroom. Instead, we would put the threaded lower part of the drain assembly on the end of a pipe, and screw the pipe onto the drain from below, by holding the lower end of the pipe from the top of the ladder we have (saving about 10 feet I think) Cutting the hole in the roof is straightforward, using a hole saw through the tarpaper and wood that makes up the roof in that spot. Then we place the upper part of the drain assembly into the hole and hold it there while the person inside threads the pipe / lower threaded assembly onto the drain. Then we connect a hose/pipe to that pipe to the drain on the floor in sudoroom. anyone who is available to help do this task, please get with me. This idea has already been run through the omni building group and after an initial freakout of "omg drill a hole in the roof!?!?" people realized that the roof has several drains in it already and that's how you remove water from it. There are not objections from that group anymore. -jake

Hello from noisebridge hackerspace, and question about opensauce.live (fwd)

by Jake

-------- forwarded message from Ryan Sternlicht --------------- Hey hope you all have been doing well, I know some of you know who I am and some don't or might not remember me, I am Ryan Sternlicht (pyconaut), I am a long time Member of Noisebridge hackerspace, and proponent of bay area makerspace and hackerspaces. I have often been an event orginiser at noisebridge and have helped out at many maker faire booths and local maker events, as well as I have advised a few makerspaces and hackerspaces on tools to buy, how to orginise events, and how to create a good community. I am guessing some of you know that this weekend in San Francisco will be a big maker / maker youtuber event called opensauce.live. Since the loss of Maker faire bay area, there has been a severe lack of get togethers of the bay area maker community. I know since the pandemic and even before then some of our spaces have been in need of help, space wise, finacially, community wise, etc. And events like this can be a good way to help get the word out to the larger maker community. At the noisebridge booth we will be having a FIND A MAKERSPACE / HACKERSPACE table with info from spaces around the bay (this means all of you). PLEASE FILL OUT INFO IN THIS DOCUMENT (So that I can make a few booklets for people to look through) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URzM_MKuVCH04BezEwmHSRBGYdTZAs44JR4HdlX… If possible I would also like to get things to hand out such as Stickersbuisness cardsStamppinsPostcards from as many of you as possible Feel free to drop these off at noisebridge over the next few days (there will be a box inside of the main space near the roll up door that says FOR OPENSAUCE). Or if you know anyone going to opensause have them come drop them off at our booth to put on our table. I will also have space at the booth for some small projects, If you want to have one of your projects on display please fill out this form. https://forms.gle/FEAhhTm5FhPuqKpk8 I will be at noisebridge today from around 4pm to 1am, tomorrow from 6pm to 1am, thursday from 6pm to 1am, and friday during random hours. If you want to drop a project off, please do it while I am there or give it to someone you know at the space that can put it in a locker for you. So that projects do not get messed with, I will be putting them in lockers, or bringing them home with so that they do not sit out at noisebridge. Bring as many projects as you want, (as long as the are not massive), any that do not get displayed at Open Sauce will be safley stored and returned to you after the weekend (or can be picked up to show at the parties). I will be hosting Parties at noisebridge on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Feel free to drop by and hang out, show of a project that can't be brought to opensauce, and meet people. I will have the stage set up if you want to announce about your space.
