Hi Sudoers:
There’s a bright flyover of the International Space Station (ISS)
tonight (Tuesday Sep 10) at 8:53PM:
Rises 20:51:12 0° 230° (SW) 2,345 0.5 -17.6°
Reaches altitude 10° 20:53:16 10° 230° (SW) 1,487 -0.6 -18.0°
Maximum altitude 20:56:37 87° 317° (NW) 422 -3.9 -18.6°
Enters shadow 20:57:25 49° 47° (NE) 545 -3.4 -18.8°
Magnitude -3.9 is very bright, if it’s not foggy it’ll be very easy to spot.
More details here:

Those of us at Omni Commons this evening we should go outside and look
at this.
Sincerely, -Peter
Hi Sodoers:
We had a great time at last night’s USA-CA-South San Francisco Library
Fixit Clinic Repair Advice Workshop
https://www.ssf.net/Events/Fixit-Clinic-Repair-Advice-Workshop-Sept-2024
(Photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/qyXw5zNzzf9XkEYv8)
- We’ve got one person (Terry) who registered for tonight’s Hardware and
SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins:
Desktop computer Cyberpower PC C Series / ET8160-47547 Turns on, but
shows nothing when connected to monitor I went to Best buy, they
suggested fried motherboard
- Also: Sudoroom member Hilary is going to bring some linux-converted
Chromebooks she needs help with.
Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and
it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to
go and what to do. So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so
to greet people for Sudoroom (or SoftWEAR downstairs) and get them
started on their projects? And to keep an eye out for people who are
standing tentatively in the entrance between Counter Culture Labs and
Sudoroom and be welcoming to them?
Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is
working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the
sidewalk.
Many thanks, -Peter
Does anyone have any cool tidbits bout audio engineering or female

The prompt for this week's hardware hack night is "open source"
So far I got PSUD
Inkstich / inkscape
Could you mention in a snippet why the open source has helped you and why?
Blender is a biggie -
I will put this hopefully in a blog post when I have time.
https://sudoroom.org/mochi-at-hardware-hack-night-custom-cushions/
Also, next week's theme is "hidden potential" and wil feature inventors who
have beat the odds to overcome stuff like child marriage, lack of formal
educatio and even famine to shine!

Seamly2D is pattern design software to create scalable, sharable custom-fit patterns using bespoke tailoring, haute couture, and historical pattern drafting techniques. Seamly2D saves time and improves fit by creating patterns as reusable, editable parametric CAD engineering documents. Unlike other pattern design software, Seamly2D allows designers to have complete control of the patternmaking process. Each Seamly2D pattern can read multi-size tables for boutique sizing and read individual measurement files for custom-fit.
Seamly2D is open-source software released under the GPLv3+ license. Seamly2D is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. To learn more about Seamly2D on a personal level, join our friendly, active, international, multilingual user forum. On our forum you may post questions about patternmaking and Seamly2D in any language you choose, as sewing terms are rich with idioms that are not always translatable word-for-word.

Hey folks, the "where is the art and math?" in the museum has gone pretty
well! It's so fun! We decided to continue, and Sunday sounds like a great
day to go to visit our very own Oakland museum.
Sunday is the free day too - and it's a great time to go, a lot less
stressy than the first Thursdays which clash with other events.
Brainstorming stuff to think about, but the Oakland Museum has a cool
history section with a "Silicon Valley Garage" that is really neat!

Dear all,
I have been asking around the space to see if folks would be interested
in having an event for skill-sharing of "common tools" to respond to
social, technical, and environmental problems.
Here is a rough draft of what we came up with thus far:
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/common-tools-event-oakland
I was wondering if more people would like to participate / help organize?
All the details are still TBD!
Best wishes,
LF.
