A friend reached out to me asking if Omni may be interested on a display. Pasting below part of the message with the details: “Daniel. I am wanting to get rid of my 2008 55" Vizo 1080p flat screen. Was thinking this could find use at The Omni. If you know someone with a truck they can pick it up at my place this coming weekend. Works fine except for every now and then a couple of lines appear mostly on the left side, but they dont appear all of the time.” Thank you, and please let me know. Daniel

Laser cutter info/help?

by Joy Ding

Hi sudodiscuss! I was hoping to come by to use the laser cutter and was having trouble finding any information about it on the sudoroom wiki. I'd heard there was a new laser cutter set up there now too so just was wondering about the status/information of both machines? I've used a few different laser cutters pretty extensively in the past but each one can be finicky in its own way so was wondering if anyone could point me towards any resources, or would be able to help me out in the next few days? Was hoping to finish up a project in time for camp next week :) Thanks! joybot

Re: [sudo-discuss] Laser cutter pickup

by Adam Munich

Ok Rich said he will be "outside at 7", I believe this means sudo room but I've written back to confirm. His email address is rich.gporter(a)gmail.com if you need to get in contact. I need to pick some one up before sudo room and will try to be there around then. Don't hold up for me if I don't make it in time though.

I'm told by Rayc that on this coming Tuesday at 7, we're going to need at least 3 hackers to coordinate moving a laser cutter into Sudo Room. Reach out to me (off list) if you'd like to help. - - - - Weblog: http://adammunich.com With great power comes great responsibility.

Help me; I'm a new tech teacher - donations doubled

by Christine Hodges

Hello! This is Christine Hodges. You may or may not know me from the circles I move in: I'm a former tech worker, hackerspace user, meetup.com participant, effective altruism/rationality community adjacent, member of First Church Berkeley UCC. So I got a new job teaching technology at an elementary school in Oakland. I'd like to give my 230+ Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade students great, hands-on learning opportunities with electronics and coding: a STEAM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math). I have a plan to introduce electronics concepts, bring in physical computing, then tie that to software coding later in the school year. But I want students to have hands-on experiences first. This requires stuff like LEDs, batteries, electronic building blocks, etc. Thus I started a series of DonorsChoose.org projects to fundraise for these class materials. And guess what: some anonymous donors will match every donation so it cuts the cost in half! Yay! I think this matching will be available all this week, maybe longer, but I don't know. And now I'm asking you if you could please chip in while I have this matching offer. A $10 donation becomes $20. $100 becomes $200! 3 projects posted, many minds educated... 1) The #1 priority project is the basic electronics components and only needs $339 to be fully funded: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/intro-to-circuits/4347772/ 2) Electronic building blocks gets students creating at a higher level of abstraction - needs $221 https://www.donorschoose.org/project/electronic-building-blocks/4348639/ 3) Makey Makey devices bridge hardware to software - needs $385 https://www.donorschoose.org/project/from-circuits-to-coding-with-makey-mak… Thanks so much for your participation! Feel free to pass this along to potentially interested people. Christine

PyBay 2019 Maker Event

by Chris Matthews

Hi Sudoroom, I'm Chris, and I'm helping out with Pybay 2019. We're having a maker event the night of August 17 and I thought of SudoRoom. Pybay is a community-driven python conference in San Francisco, August 17 - 18. This year keynote speakers include Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google, and Raymond Hettinger, cPython core dev. Other notable speakers include Bryan Siepert from Adafruit and Rachel Thomas, cofounder of fast.ai. The maker event will let people showcase their homemade hardware/IOT projects. I'm interested in talking with any members who would like a table. The robot arm and sudo mesh projects both looked really interesting. Also, I do have some free tickets for nonprofits. So if either People's Open Network or Sudoroom are interested in having a table as a group, I would have a few free tickets available. Sincerely, Chris Matthews makers(a)pybay.com Pybay 2019: https://pybay.com/ Maker Event: https://pybay.com/events/ [https://pybay.com/site_media/static/new/img/twitter-card.90e166f09eac.jpg]<https://pybay.com/events/> PyBay2019<https://pybay.com/events/> One of the things that makes PyBay such a fun conference is the hallway track, where casual sharing with another amazing developer inspires novelty solutions to problems, useful open-source contributions, or a new friendship. pybay.com
