Electronic Music Production Meetup Group - Sundays 5-7PM

by Berry Maker

Hi Sudoers, Last night was the first electronic music production meetup and it was great fun! Some friends showed up later in the evening and we had an impromptu jam. I'll be holding this meetup every Sunday between 5-7(ish) pm. We can meet at Sudo Room and move into another open room in Omni if necessary. This group will be focusing on the production/composition/programming aspect of electronic music production with an emphasis on Ableton Live and Logic Pro X. However,all DAW's (Reason, Cubase, Pro-Tools, Fruity Loops Studio) are welcome. I'd like to keep the group loose and unstructured for now so we can let it grow organically. The idea is to meet others interested in electronic music production, learn from each other, inspire ideas, collaborate on projects, etc. I understand there is another music collective forming at Omni same night and time and I have reached out to them to see if we can combine forces! Looking forward to meeting and collaborating with more of you! ~ Merry

Omni front door card access restored

by Jake

The magstripe card access system at the front door works again. The problem? It got unplugged from electricity. It needs to be plugged in. Presently it's plugged into an extension cord. There is a backup battery in it, which can operate for a really long time, and as soon as it's unplugged, it starts telling us in IRC (hacker chatroom) and we start telling each other to plug it back in, but none of us are there. This happened, and everyone in the chat was like "lol plug it back in pls" but it didn't happen. Instead people came by Omni and marveled at the various wires in the system, thinking they must be the problem. One person replaced the wires to the door, wiring them incorrectly in the process. Eventually it got plugged back into the extension cord and powered up again, but I had to fix the rewiring that happened while people were trying to fix it. It works now. Moral of the story: we are going to wire the thing into the AC wiring of the building so this doesn't happen anymore. If you have questions please let's discuss it on the appropriate list, which is: access(a)lists.sudoroom.org thank you! -jake

Fwd: BREAKING: TPP text leaked

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, Below a forward email I received today from Fight for the Future in case you interested on reading it; or at least please notice this item: *"Make it illegal to unlock, modify, or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10)"* "Check it out on WikiLeaks here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>, or read their overview of it here <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…> ." Thank you all of you in these lists that are trying to make this world a better world to live. I sincerely appreciate it your efforts. Daniel ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Charlie from FFTF <info(a)list.fightforthefuture.org> Date: Thu, Oct 15, 2015 at 9:16 AM Subject: BREAKING: TPP text leaked To: danarauz(a)gmail.com *Last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the TPP’s intellectual property rights chapter and it is absolutely terrifying.* *These are just a few of its most dangerous pieces:* - Compel ISPs to take down websites without any sort of court order, just like SOPA. (Appendix Section I) - Extend the US’s copyright regime to require copyrights stand for life plus 70 years, preventing anyone from using works that belong in the public domain. (Article QQ.G.6) - Criminalize whistleblowing by extending trade secrets laws without any mandatory exemptions for whistleblowers or investigative journalists. (QQ.H.8) - End anonymity online by forcing every domain name to be associated with a real name and address. (Article QQ.C.12) - Make it illegal to unlock, modify, or generally tinker with a device you own. (Article QQ.G.10) - Export the US’s broken copyright policies to the rest of the world without expanding any of the free speech protections, like fair use. (Article QQ.G.17) *The worst part is that this is just one of the TPP’s 30 chapters. * *The final text confirms our worst fears — click here to take action demanding Congress vote NO on the TPP. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* For years, governments have held critics of the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement in a perfect catch 22. Officials brushed off public outcry and concern by claiming that the dissenters didn’t have all the facts. This was by design—the 12 country trade deal was negotiated entirely behind closed doors by industry lobbyists and government appointees, and even now the text of the agreement is still classified. But late last week, WikiLeaks released the final text of the Intellectual Property chapter, meaning those excuses won’t work anymore. *We’re planning to go all out against the TPP, but the first step is to make sure Congress knows just how many people oppose the TPP. * *Click here to take action demanding Congress vote NO on the TPP. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* Taking action today is just the beginning, because if all we do is send emails and make phone calls, Congress is not going to reject the TPP. Too many giant industries are seriously invested in making sure Congress ratifies the TPP. *If we’re going to win, we need to go big. Which is exactly what we’re going to do.* *So take action right now. Contact your Congresspeople now and tell them to vote against the TPP <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>*. Then get ready to do more because we’re going to unleash some of our strongest campaigns ever. Already we have plans to work with hundreds of different groups as a massive coalition to fight the TPP, coordinate gigantic on-the-ground protests in key cities across the country, and produce compelling content to spread the word to as many different audiences as possible just what is at stake in the TPP. *To do all that, we need your help — if you can, pledge to chip in $5 every month between now and when the TPP fight ends so that we can run our biggest, boldest, and best campaign yet. <http://list.fightforthefuture.org/mpss/c/2wA/ZgwNAA/t.1ra/JRRvvf--QMGuoqxOh…>* Thanks for all you do, Charlie P.S. Want to read the text of the chapter for yourself?
