Re: [sudo-discuss] $150 charge for not returning DSL equipment to sonic.net

by Jake

I found the modem. We should return it and get our $150 back. it's at about eye level on the equipment rack nearest the wall, upstairs. It doesn't have a power adaptor plugged into it, but i'm sure there's a nice 12v 1 or 2 amp power adaptor up there that goes with it. Max, can you tell them that we have it and we'd like to return it for credit? You can contact me to actually deliver it to them. thank you -jake On Thu Apr 16 Maximilian Klein wrote: FYI, sonic.net (our original ISP at sudo and the omni) charged our card $150 because we did not send back the modem, which I wrote to the list about one month ago.

robot is operational again!

by Jake

the giant robot arm is again functional. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Giant_robot_arm unfortunately, in the process of repairing it we reset the memory and god-mode is no longer enabled, so we have to figure out which registers to edit to get it working again. Hopefully Ben can help, he figured it out the first time. yay robot!!! -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] Accessibility Liaison?

by Robert Benson

are "building materials" short for construction dust? what are we even taking about here? the most olfactory offensive substances i've encountered we're compost methane - which has been fairly sever at times. things we could do: 1) clean bleach all trash/compost bins/buckets 2) sweep & mop all construction areas after work is done for the day. 3) cover all building materials with tarps/cloth 4) set up/install fans/ventilation 5) make sure fans are on prior to events

balance between hacking and community center

by Romy Ilano

I'm sympathetic to the tension that exists for SudoRoom - are we a hackrrspace or a social worker community outreach center? I think it's cool to make suggestions, but it's cool also to respect boundaries. People were pushing for SudoRoom hackers to become at risk youth mentors and outreach coordinators. While I respect that work, i think there are a lot of cool folks involved in social work who are great at that stuff. It's certainly not easy! and not for everyone. As a woman I'm often pressure to be involved in initiatives for educating children in ways I don't feel hacker men are. It's almost like a second or third job! I guess it's just part of societal expectations =D Overall it's a good thing though. It's cool being around activists, social workers, etc. It might be nice to push the lines, but it might also be unhealthy for social workers to interfere too much and not let hackers be hackers. Educating kids is great, but this is a primarily adult space with a lot of dangerous stuff. The pressure on female hackers especially to provide free babysitting and childcare for random children is also an understandable misunderstanding but needs to be gently pushed back. thanks for being diverse! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Accessibility Liaison?

by niki

Hello friends, Someone came in today who was very concerned with our efforts to make our space truly accessible - she was particularly concerned with building improvements and the impact on those with chemical sensitivities. She was also concerned with the sound system at today's event as there were some issues w/it that made it difficult for people to hear. She asked us to not use any materials that will inhibit those with chemical sensitivities from accessing the space and to create communication around our accessibility and needs. She asked to see our plan for how we will do this. We don't have this scoped out currently and I'm wondering if someone would be willing to take on the task of researching this issue and making recommendations to the building Working Group as well as drawing up a basic outline for providing greater accessibility. Can someone volunteer for this? xo N
