ExChromebook Installfest; tomorrow at Straycap

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: StrayCap Multispace (https://www.straycap.org/) in Hayward is gathering up expired school system Chromebooks to convert to Linux; they’ve got hundreds on hand at the moment. (See https://bit.ly/cbsave for background.) We’re going to join forces with local Linux enthusiasts tomorrow (Saturday May 9) noon-3pm for a combo Open House / ExChromebook Installfest; we’ll work together to convert and reconfigure Chromebooks into “ExChromebooks” while asking: how can we best re-purpose these in our communities to improve digital literacy, digital sovereignty, digital inclusion, digital equity? You’re welcome to take some ExChromebooks home to experiment with or to give to anyone else you know who could use one. (Fill out this Google Form: https://forms.gle/zMJjTxmQPj8ZvaJ39) You’re also most welcome to bring your repair projects to work on and get help with. Please RSVP at http://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup so we can get a head count (select "2026-05-09 USA-CA-Hawyard ExChromebook Installfest at StrayCap Noon" from the pulldown menu.) Feel free to bring your repair-inclined or tech-inclined friends, or tell them about it, especially if they live in or around Hayward; StrayCap's a half a block from the Hayward Main Library (and a seven minute walk from Hayward BART.) Hope to see you there, -Peter

Re: [sudo-members] Members meething Sunday 5/31 4-6pm

by michaelz

Yes that's the current URL to join online. (We are looking for an alternative with lower latency since that Jitsi server is located in Finland, and sometimes the connection is poor.) https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meetings The new meeting schedule is Every second Thursday 19:00 (7 PM)Every last Sunday 16:00 (4 PM) From past experience Sunday meetings have greater attendance. Sometimes the Thursday meeting does not happen due to lack of attendees.

I'm reaching out to see if you might be open to co-hosting theExodus Tourin Oakland. We are bringing a series of hands-on workshops focused on leaving surveillance platforms and building community-controlled networks. Are you open to a quick chat next week to discuss if this could be a good fit for your space? If not, no worries at all. In that case, please let us know so we can adjust our outreach list. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Weekends at sudo room

by Juliana A

Is there anyone going on weekends at sudo room? I looked at the calendar and I dont see any event. I would like to visit sometimes but I dont have time to go on weekdays. If anyone with access is going, let me know if possible to coordinate my entrance. Possibly, I'd be open to host on some weekends. It's kinda sad to have the space closed when a bunch of people would have more availability on weekends. -- julianaferreira(a)gmail.com she/her

FPGA learning

by Larry Doolittle

Friends - People keep reacting positively when I suggest putting together an FPGA class. Angela, did you ever get something to work on the FOMU? David and I made some progress doing a TTL logic demo on March 2. We could try again this week. My schedule is pretty flexible. David, do you have plans to come in? Maybe Judy and/or Arik can join us. - Larry
