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.

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.

Hey Sudo!
We¹re having a post-new-roof clean-up party! Friday, Jan 3 starting ~11AM to
5pm-ish.
Now that the roof is fixed and SudoRoom is dry, it¹s time to clean up!
The roof replacement generated A LOT of stuff that fell and coated the
horizontal surfaces that weren¹t under a tarp.
There will be snacks, drinks, fun and breaks! If you can chip in funds,
we'll get a take-out.
There will be shop vacs with hepa filters, ladders and brushes. We¹ll have
some surgical masks.
If you have a respirator, it would be a good idea to bring it.
The goal is to clean up as much as we can and not to burn-out.There will be
other clean-up days.
Start at the higher shelves then clean the workbenches. If time, vacuum or
broom the floors.
Fans will be running to move air and the shop filter will be on.
Call/text Kent @ 510-504-0634.
Hope to see you there! -Eric, Kent and Raelyn
Thanks to Virginia for filing the report on the weird fire alarm hum in the
garage.
Last night I went from the hum of the garage to check my mail and there was
a weird eerie hum on the first floor near the mailboxes.
Are folks in the townhouses ok? It's super loud!

if anyone has a Windows 7 CD or DVD around that looks good enough to try,
someone needs it.

Some new people are going to be showing up and could use a host. They just
want to see the space and discuss robotics?
Saturday 3PM to 5PM
I will go if I can, but i have other plans that may prevent me from attending.

I am exploring this field as a total noob and would love to do a today I
learned session.
This can also be related to "AI" in a cheesy way.
- in person only - I am inclined not to ever do a remote/ online session
though (maybe later, many years from now).

Hi Y’all,
I am wanting to learn about 3-D printing and try to print something. I saw online that Tuesday night is the night people work with the 3-D printers, but I don't see it in the calendar. Is tonight a good night to come by for this?
Thanks,
Susala
Role models and their words that are inspiring me lately:
“Slavery wasn’t a crisis for British and American elites until abolitionism turned it into one. Racial discrimination wasn’t a crisis until the civil rights movement turned it into one. Sex discrimination wasn’t a crisis until feminism turned it into one. Apartheid wasn’t a crisis until the anti-apartheid movement turned it into one.”

'If We Jump Up'
Let new words leap out of our mouths.
Let our hands be astonished at what we have made, and glad.
Let us follow ourselves into a present not ruled by the past.
If we jump now, our far will be near.

Hi everyone,
We are short on being able to pay rent this month. We need at least $630.50
by the 25th (this Saturday)!
Our rent payment this month (and for the rest of the year) is $2380.50.
Utilities are about $125/month. And we have only $1875 in the bank right
now.
In the immediate term, we need people to either up their monthly dues or do
a one time payment. Here's how you donate: https://sudoroom.org/donate/
So we aren't in this situation again, also please reach out if you want to
join grant writing efforts. There's a few of us who have expressed interest
but there's been no work done here of late, to my understanding. Since
member dues have not been enough to cover rent, we have relied on grant
money to get by. But our last grant from StopWaste has been all used up now.
Paige
this is great!

We're all listeners of the Linux Unplugged <https://linuxunplugged.com/>
podcast which is hosting listening parties all over the world on 2/2. We
are gathering in person for the first time. I don't know any of the other
attendees personally. So far 6 folks have RSVP'd. We would really just need
a space where we could set up a laptop and speakers, and would bring all
our own gear.
