the crypto parties starting up again are pretty cool.
they remind me of the earlier direction and spirit of sudoRoom
it was cool that people were trying different interesting experiments with
social innovation this summer, but somehow some things drifted away from
the original spirit of
SudoRoom
thank you for making this a place of joy and creation again! <3

I looked and sure enough the steel leaf of the switch was twisted downward. I was able to jog the head left while holding the limit switch down so I assume the unit needs to be replaced. Do you know if there are any spares at sudo? I have some from open source hardware that look similar but didn't want to attempt taking off the rail to get at it and making it worse.

What makes you say that? I would be very surprised if that happened.
Session 1 went well today! Hope to see you at the next session.
Super simple "no deep stuff" ;)
*Session 1 done today!*
https://github.com/romyilano/SudoRoom_Python_DomesticViolence#session-1---i…
Session 1 - Preparations
- Get set up on your computer - Railsbridge is excellent, great people,
great installation advice (Railsbridge Installation Guide)[
http://docs.railsbridge.org/installfest/choose_your_operating_system]
- Be comfortable with the command line - Learn Command line the hard way
<http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/> *IMHO the more comfortable
you get with the command line the better off you'll be in the short and
long run*
- Understand how to use git
- Complete Learn Python the Hard Way
<http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/> up until Lesson 20
<http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex20.html> -
<https://github.com/romyilano/SudoRoom_Python_DomesticViolence#session-1---t…>Session
1 - the Doing part
Open up the terminal on your computer.
- *Don't know the terminal and command line? Go here
<http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/>*
mkdir SudoLesson
cd SudoLesson
Now use git to clone the github repo
<https://github.com/romyilano/SudoRoom_Python_DomesticViolence> for this
workshop
git clone https://github.com/romyilano/SudoRoom_Python_DomesticViolence
- *Don't know how to use git from the command line?* review cloning and
the basics the simple guide <http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/>
cd SudoRoom_Python_DomesticViolence
write your first script in the python folder, name it intro_python.py
from sys import argv
script, filename = argv
in_file = open(filename)
indata = in_file.read()
print("Here's your file %r:" % filename)
print("The sample csv is %d bytes long" % len(indata))
input(" Return to continue >")
print("Now I'm going to print out all the data - it's very long!")
input(" Return to continue >")
print(indata)
input(" Return to continue >")
print("Closing the file")
in_file.close()
Run the script, we'll be using the sample.csv which is the spreadsheet of
crimes in the Oakland area in the past 90 days
python python/intro_python.py csv/sample.csv
Self-directed Learning Steps
- Make 2 or 3 variations of this script
- Redo the Learn to Code the hard way lessons
- Download other csv files and read them

here's a link to the noisebridge library organization project, for when we
get the Mezzanine book collection shelved up. We could start this for the
sudoroom book collection, which is considerable on its own, if someone has
the skills and energy to set up the software.

Hey Jake, sure thing.
Here's a description I wrote up for my 5 minutes of fame presentation.
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Library
There's a link in there to the library-org app. If you guys host this you can reskin it for sudo room. It's also pretty quick to delete all the books and make a new one but
you have to do it from the code.
Best,

Hi Trent,
I think we met during the hackathon a few weeks ago. I wonder if there is a wiki page or other site with info about what you're doing with the noisebridge book
collection? Sudoroom and The Omni have a lot of books and we need to catalogue them.
thank you

Hi I just swiped my card three times tonight yeah I'd like to be validated because I'm going to come here for a late afternoon python class on Monday
❤️❤️❤️
https://sudoroom.org/events/sudoroom-late-afternoon-study/
Hi I have it in the calendar now!
We're going to take this tutorial that we did in Node.js and create a
python version.
Looking at domestic violence incidences in Oakland
https://github.com/romyilano/oakland-data-with-node-js
Basic newbie tutorial of node.js with the command line. This tutorial will
parse through Open Data available in Oakland. Benefits: basic javascript
and node.js, avoiding painful macros in Excel spreadsheets, and learning
how to code! http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-East-Bay/ — Edit

Hi everyone
In case there's any confusion, the Clean Day is tomorrow Sunday at 12PM and
NOT today, Sat.
I sent a test draft to a small group among the members that said Saturday
but that was an old incorrect draft.
The Announce List sent yesterday approved by the Comm Group says Sunday.
Just wanted to re-send again to the smaller group in case there was any
confusion.
Thanks,
Sang

Subject: Please help and attend the Omni Spring Clean Day on Sun Feb 21st
at 12PM
To: "Sang S. Kim" <sangkimsf(a)gmail.com>
*Hello Everyone! Please help with our Cleaning Day THIS Sunday Feb 21st!*
I hope everyone has been enjoying the early spring weather. In that
spirit, we are planning a *cleaning day on Sunday Feb 21st* during the day
and hope you can help out the building and everyone by supporting the
Commons with your time.
We would appreciate anyone and everyone to come on *Sunday Feb 21st* at
*12PM*.
Part of the day will be cleaning the Kitchens which is a first and easy
step. That means cleaning out the fridge, sweeping and wiping down the
area. Any food out in the open has to be either sealed in airtight
containers or thrown out. Specific ways you can help.
1. *Volunteer your time* on *Sunday Feb 21st*
2. Bring *cleaning supplies* if you have any to spare - garbage bags,
cleaning supplies, gloves and even air filter masks if you’re sensitive to
dust or cleaning supplies. Remember to wear clothes and shoes you are okay
cleaning in.
3. Help *Keep the Omni Clean* Every Day - if you use the kitchen, please
be respectful and clean up after you prepare food. This doesn't mean just
washing dishes and throwing away food but also, cleaning any surface or
appliance you use. Also, please throw away food you may have left in the
fridge.
We hope to see you this *Sunday Feb 21st* at *12PM* and thank you being
considerate to everyone at the Omni.
This is only the first step towards cleaning and improving the Omni so *please
contact the Omni on how you can help* with future projects to protect the
Omni.
Thank you!
Your Omni Volunteers

Thanks so much for this message, Karissa. I also want to add to this
message that sudoroom is seeking more MEMBERS and PEOPLE! We don't
just want you for your money, but we want to find more ways to
encourage people to be here and use this wonderful space and take
collective ownership of it. I even think that in future messages, the
call for people should be put on equal footing with the call for
money.
