Hello Daniel,
Thank you for following up. I have not yet received a reply from anyone at

Hello Sudo
I'm reaching out to you today because I have been given the opportunity to
submit a proposal to Oakland Park and Rec to turn a park facility into a
makerspace/workshop, mostly oriented towards programming for children and
their families, in the surrounding community. Jonathan Foote and Mitch
Altman suggested your organization as a potential partner and I would like
to sit down with your team and discuss ideas on how best to proceed.
If your organization has interest in being part of this endeavor, please
let me know and we can setup a meeting in the immediate future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Rick Abruzzo

Do we happen to have a pipe bender at Omni somewhere? Need to adjust some
electrical conduit.
Not absolutely required, but it'd look better with all the bends on the
right places. ..

Thanks for that link, Julio, and Hol for re-entering sudo's ethical core of
social justice!
If you're interested in supporting the current uptick in requests for
Omni's support in activist endeavors, we've formulated an informal
'organize' working group to field relevant space requests, requests for
collaboration and resources etc that had been meeting weekly on Wednesdays
at 6pm prior to the ghost ship tragedy and holidaze. To connect subscribe
to the list at omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/organize
If people would like to make some arts or contribute funds, Dionne Smith is
an amazing woman fighting for police accountability and specifically
justice for her son, James Rivera, who was murdered by Stockton PD in 2010.
She is currently raising funds to bring her powerful voice to DC and
perhaps we could blast this out / contribute $$ / make something awesome to
send her off with: https://www.gofundme.com/6n-womens-march-on-washington
I'll be editing some footage I took of Dionne speaking at Gilda Baker's
press conference last October (Gilda's son, Diallo Neal, was murdered by
CHP in a hit & run in 2005 and she is only now finding the support she's
needed to speak out) when I get home in a few days... editing support would
be rad as I'm hella rusty.
Mad love,

We need a SudoRoom wiki page on trains. Many members are huge train
enthusiasts, taking the Capitol Corridor to work on the South Bay or the
Caltrain. A lot of SudoRoom members regularly Amtrak their way to hacker
conferences all over the country!
Nerds are fierce bike and Caltrain advocates in Silicon Valley, and they
are known to pelt well meaning but surprised officials with elaborate
spreadsheets explaining the lower cost per rider of a bike train place than
a parking spot place. It'd be cool to see more hacker advocacy, as local
trains have increased service this year on the Amtrak due to higher
ridership.
Preliminary Wondering[edit
<https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Movement/Trains&action=edit&…>
]
- How do trains work?
- Are trains still hackable?
- What ever happened to model trains building and collecting? How will
we live with ourselves until the 2019, when the model train section
<http://www.deutsches-museum.de/en/exhibitions/transport/model-railway/> of
the Deutsches Museum is open for the public again?
- Will the USA ever get the gleaming speed trains being put up with
blinding speed in China?
- Has anyone ever tried to illegally hack together a new railways system
in some kind of squatter/burning man area or interesting part of town?
- Some people are building handmade railcars to explore abandoned
railway systems at the TechShop - Neat!

Hey Sudoers,
I came by Sudo Room Wednesday and dropped off a donation of 13 Mac Minis!
They were donated by Liz from Mozilla. Some other hackerspaces also got some including Noisebridge.
Specs: mid-2010 model, Core 2 Duo cpu, 4 or 8GB RAM, 320 GB HD (wiped clean), DVD-RW drive, HDMI video out.
They are missing power cables (but they're standard and power is built-in).
They'll work with the latest Mac OS - just need to be installed. Or you can install Linux.

Enjoy!

Hey everyone,
I'm excited about Hardware hack night. I'm continuing my connected car hack
(using the automatic API) so I can track my car and do fun experiments:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement
I'm going to focus on completing a project and having something to present
by the next meeting, and giving tips on how I did it.
In the future I'd like to:
- Encourage people who drive cars to exercise more
- Find ways to enable people to ride the Amtrack more by make tools that
solve the last mile problem, since we sorely need more rail in the East Bay
- explore topics around hacking wheelchairs.
Best,
Romy

How do we feel about paper towel dispensers at the Omni? Are we
intentionally doing without, to save some trees? Are people worried the
paper towel roll will get stolen? Or have we just not bothered putting any
up yet?
I'm planning to get one for our lab sink in CCL, but I'd love to have one
in each bathroom at the Omni.
Touchless towel dispensers start at $25 at Office Depot. There's probably
better places to get them too...
Patrik
PS: Ditto for wall-mounted soap dispensers...
