Our leaky roof and warpage installed

by Kent Leech

Hi folks, Last night myself and Avery deployed the tarp from last year over the SW corner of Sudoroom. I also placed available buckets nearby on the big table so they can be positioned to catch drips. While they will catch a fair amount of water, inevitably some will puddle. From my memory, the low spot is near the standing drill press. The chrome wet-dry vac is nearby and sucks up the excess water very well. When full, I've dumped it outside the side entrance. If anyone can check on the drips this evening, that would be most helpful. Also, the excess water will eventually need vacuuming up. I¹m not available until after thanksgiving. Regards, Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 --

Small but important admin task for Sudo

by Sarah Lockhart

As Sudo embarks on its journey for independence from Omni, one thing that would be very helpful to do is to change the billing account for Sudo’s Digital Ocean subscription. Currently, as a result of something Yar did a year or so ago, Sudo Room’s DigiOcean monthly payment is being paid out of Omni’s general checking account. It should be paid out of the Sudo account. For the past year or so, I have been transferring the $43.90 (on average) from Sudo’s account to Omni’s account to reimburse Omni. However, it would be simplest if this autopayment was made from Sudo’s account so that no one has to transfer anything, because very soon I will not be around to do this. Best, SL

I've added the San Francisco, San Jose, & east bay bike parties to our calendar - let's recruit bike party people again!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/others-events/bike-parties/ FYI I've added auxiliary bike party events (Fridays) to our SudoRoom calendar. If we want new members or people dropping by, it's a good idea to "market" to these folks - we had a great time when they came in a while ago to hack on their bikes all at once. https://sudoroom.org/when-the-bike-party-came-to-sudoroom/ what's nice is that the themes change every month for each of these 3 bike parties, and it's a new opportunity for people to be creative especially with costumes. It would also be a good idea to document "starter projects" (I never got around to work on my own bike personally and might add to the wiki) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

by Romy Ilano

I'm looking for stuff to put on the sudoroom events pages and blog - has anyone created new year's celebrations or costumes? Religious decorations? Winter solstice pagan celebration LED costumes? If you'd like to share your photos we would love it! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
