This artist is visiting town and wanted to know if he could speak at Sudo Room or give away any art. I told him that we don't have anyone dedicated to organizing this kind of event, but that I'd ask if anyone wants to. If you'd like to host him during November, put it on the calendar and go for it. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org> ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jared Sofoifa <j.a.sofoifa(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 6, 2023 at 10:44 AM Subject: [sudo-info] An idea To: <info(a)sudoroom.org> Good Morning, I am a Guatemalan Artist in Canada. I am wondering if your space would want to be part of a project I've been Working on. https://jaredarmandosofoifa.com/the-ocean-gives/ This is my largest painting to date. It spans roughly four feet by five feet. I want to give it away in a raffle to anyone that shares a smile. This year being in a position of comfort, it pained me greatly to see everyone around me struggling with the rising costs of everything. Being from Guatemala I have a deep knowledge of plants and how to cultivate them. I volunteered my time at a giant garden in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, operated by the local food bank. I realized that I was focusing on the wrong things, while it was great to feed people, as a painter I couldn't stand by and not feed their souls. Given that fine Art is mostly out of reach from the working class, I decided that I would rather "sell" my painting for smiles. I want to provide people struggling for survival, to have some kind of hope. In our politicized world it is hard to be kind to others and not guarded. What we need is community and unity. I feel like this project gets at the core of what future artists will provide the world. If you would like I can provide files for ready-to-print media including a poster with a QR code and printable raffle tickets from anyone that does not have a 'smart' telephone. As well as the poem about the painting. I will be in the Bay Area during Nov.8th-Nov.23rd promoting my Art and the seven works of writing I completed during COVID lockdowns in Canada, while also working on my stand-up comedy and music at any open mics I can get into. I would be happy to give a brief Artists talk outlining the project and the future role of Artists as we fight to stay relevant in a world where AI threatens all our livelihoods. Attached are some media provided to me from the Saskatoon food bank while my painting was in their space. It's not required, but as a working Artist I would greatly appreciate any honorarium (if your organization can afford it) to help me with my travel expenses and shipping cost for the painting. Let me know your thoughts, Sincerely, Jared Armando Sofoifa ps I'm the one in the pink hat. Also attached some additional paintings of mine.

important weekly sudoroom meeting tonight at 7PM

by Jake

Sudoroom meeting tonight at 7PM, we're having weekly meetings since a lot of fundamental issues to Omni and Sudoroom are being discussed every week. We have to talk about these issues so that we can be represented at the Delegates meetings that happen every thursday. Show up! Please show up, there will be important discussions which will have an effect on Sudoroom's survival as well as what Sudoroom stands for going forward. Most of us meet in person, some join the meeting remotely through our Jitsi video link at this address: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2024 15:35:19 -0800 From: Andrew Werby via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Reply-To: Andrew Werby <awerby(a)juxtamorph.com> To: sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org Subject: [sudo-discuss] Re: Retaining our executive director I think we can safely let Jamal go. I really don't see what he is really able to do for us, and he seemed mainly interested in banning or sidelining people he saw as obstacles, using spurious arguments as justification. More clarity in leadership would be a good thing, but eliminating our delegate seems like a step backward. I do think we need to institute some kind of governing body, like a board, that can make decisions without long, tedious, and counterproductive general meetings. It needs to focus on saving the space, or if that's not possible, saving the equity built up for the benefit of the existing stakeholders.

reviving my light projection projects

by Romy Ilano

Had a great, interactive session at SudoRoom last night. Tuesday was great, creation and working on small fun projects and interacting with each other is why i come ot the Omni. - Reviving my light projection mapping project https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping - Focusing on completing projects while I'm at SudoRoom as well as interacting with others - Collaborated with folks on music, thinking of using the open source Godot Game Engine to build a music and animation control software piece so that we can project onto the walls of SudoRoom while we hack! I am putting a pause on social media stuff or at least cutting back on it. For the past few months I've just come Tuesdays and have been doing social media to help promote SUdoROom. While that's fun, and that could be a hardware project in and of itself, I really like coming to the Omni to create. I am part of the Omni solely for SudoRoom! and creation. Not so much all the other stuff, like meetings. Glad to see SudoRoom still has the stoke. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
