do you know anyone who wants to buy/adopt a vending machine project? The
one in Sudoroom has got to go, we have better uses for the space.
Here's the craigslist ad:

here's the sudoroom wiki page about this project (and yes there were once
two vending machines!):

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!

Does anyone want a working mini fridge? There are two in sudoroom that
should go. Let me know if you want pictures. These are a little taller
than the tiny cube ones, and probably easily enough space for one person.
One is a sanyo and the other is a magic chef.
Hi Sudoers:
Ring in the New Year at Sudoroom: here are some projects we’ll be
working on tonight:
-Telepresence monitor: we’ve now got two large candidate TVs to try to
get working: 1) Patrik from CCL’s Samsung un48J5200AF 48” TV (“It has
been having intermittent problems with the screen going black”) and the
55” 4K TV, Toshiba Model K550WDR1/55l621U (when power is applied It
displays the splash screen with the logo, and then goes out.) It’d be
great to get at least one of these TVs working so we can mount it to the
rolling monitor stand and use it to telepresence people into Sudorooom
via jitsi or Discord.
-Chromebook Conversion: want a lightweight laptop you can experiment
with Linux on? We have lots of Chromebooks retired by school districts
that are convertible to Linux; you can have one to help build out a
Chromebook and Linux hacking, distribution and support practice at
Sudoroom. (See http://bit.ly/cbsave for more details.)
-Donation Stations for Sudoroom and Free Store: we have some large PVC
tubing we need to secure to a heavy base. I’ve also got some electronics
we can use to trigger positive feedback celebratory and acknowledgment
effects when someone donates, and other electronics to sound an alarm if
someone tries to make off with it.
*** And don’t forget Kent’s cleanup scheduled for Friday Jan 5 11-5:
let’s get a head start on that tonight and purge some clutter. ***
Hope to see you later, -Peter
Is anyone interested in doing a 2024 year in review for our blog at
SudoRoom?
Some highlights:
- Women and NonBinary night has been really awesome and rocking!
- July/ish? we were saved by EBPrec
- Romy: started a "learning how to learn" chapter, reduced some screen
time.
- Romy: we started doing meetups that focused on face to face - minimal
screens, no remote, with just whiteboards. this resulted in a lot of great
things! like our algebraic data types with RUST -
https://sudoroom.org/algebraic-data-types-in-rust-whiteboard-style-kung-fu-…
- What was your most surprising encounter at SudoRoom this year?
- What did you learn this year at SudoRoom?
- What do you plan for 2025? i might make a google form about this

Winter Seasons Greetings!
I am reaching out to let everyone know that the new roof installation
process has concluded. The roofing crews last day was on 12/13 and this
past week our team performed a third visual inspection after final punch
list items were concluded.
In the coming days, CALLI will square away the final paperwork for this
project. The Sierra Roofing team has shown us that the roof is weather
proofed and the work appears to be satisfactory. Please keep in mind that
there is meant to be a warranty on the work performed by the company. In
the event that there are leaks/droplets identified please let me know via
email or slack as soon as possible and we will try and identify the source.
Over the scope of the project, two additional building issues were brought
to our attention pertaining to the exterior wall of the building facing
47th street that will need updates in the coming year, and the design of
the rafter beams that go into the stucco wall on the front facing Shattuck
side of the building (close to the overlaps with the tile) that might be
cause for an additional scope of work. The CALLI team will continue to
review capital improvement needs and work on scheduling building upgrades
to strengthen the longevity of the building. In the meantime feel free to
remove your tarps and protective sheeting, and make efforts to clean and
operate your spaces at normal capacities.
This post construction period coupled with the ongoing pest/rodent
servicing will be most successful if we are able to stay alert and monitor
whether the changes are making a positive impact.
Thank you and happy holidays,
--
