Text him to arrange to come by (510) 604-5522.

FPGAs

by Larry Doolittle

Sudo friends - I'd still like to spend time introducing FPGA technology to the room. I'm available one or more of this Tue, Wed, Thu. michaelz and David, you still each have the pico2-ice that I gave you, right? Can you bring them in one of these days? I'll probably come in Wed, since I still have a ton of questions about LoRa, MechCore, and/or Reticulum. - Larry

Marcus Zamani's Celebration of Life — this Saturday, 7/25

by Ajay Tallam

Hey sudo room fam, Today would have been Marcus's birthday. 🎂 He was a longtime part of this community, and I wanted to personally reach out because I know how many of you were touched by his presence here — whether through late-night hacking sessions, shared meals, or just his particular way of making a room feel a little warmer. This Saturday, July 25th, we're gathering to celebrate his life: - *10 AM–12 PM* — Garden gathering at OPC <https://partiful.com/e/bb0nooADB0GCcBRJTbxZ?focus=invite>, honoring Marcus in a living, growing way - *1–3 PM* — Celebration of Life <https://partiful.com/e/yhhvpHA2nQ0MhJGMSwLk> at the Omni Commons Ballroom If you knew Marcus, please come if you can — and if you can't make it in person, please consider sharing a memory, photo, or video on the tribute site: https://online-tribute.com/marcuszamani. His family would treasure hearing how he showed up in this space specifically. We're also looking for hands to help with setup, outreach, costs and day-of logistics — reply here or message me or jenny directly if you can lend even a little time this week, whether as a friend or ally or otherwise. Marcus gave a lot to this room. This is a small chance to give some of that back to him and his family. With love, ajay

Beyond40@SudoRoom 7/18: Exploring FOSS Firmware/BIOS + AMA w Coreboot dev

by michaelz

Ever wondered what runs your computer before the GNU/Linux even starts? Most people don’t realize that proprietary firmware can control your device in ways you never intended. Join us for a meetup focused on free BIOS and firmware this Saturday at 7pm. The event will feature presentation and an AMA with a Coreboot developer. We will discuss the security and freedom issues imposed by proprietary firmware blobs like Intel ME, how Coreboot addresses these issues, and how we can build libre systems on non-x86 platforms. Attendees are welcome to bring their laptops to get help on flashing Coreboot or me_cleaner. https://gath.io/o9y69Xnw7ZoWuPc_Ra3YH Best, michaelz
