Hi there- I am interested in participating in some Sudo Room projects - particularly Mesh, but perhaps others. My problem is I am mobility impaired in multiple ways: a connective tissue disorder that causes artheriosclerosis, arthritis, peripheral neuropathy, a tremor- I hope you get the picture that though I don't use a wheelchair, even walking the few blocks from MacArthur Bart is a trial for me. Also I'm extemely slow! I was wondering if anyone drives from the Ashby Bart area of Berkeley and might be willing to give me a ride? I tried volunteering via email but I get the feeling "out of sight out of mind". Apart from my physical issues, I'm quite capable and would like to find something interesting to do with my skills. ~Elisa

Stealing Shit Policy

by null null null

We've got a lot of big items scheduled for next week's meeting, and it'd be helpful to start talking about them now so that the meeting itself can be as fruitful as possible without stretching on into midnight. One of the bigger items is the "Stealing Shit Policy," which would outline an appropriate response to theft in the space. It might be worth extending this into something more like the "Confrontation Response Policy," so that it could address other situations in which someone is threatening the space or its membership, whether they're drunkenly destroying items or verbally accosting people. I spoke with several people about how we could deal with these situations without calling the police or violating our safe space agreements <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Safe_space>. Most of us were at a loss, but Ryan had some good initial suggestions. I've outlined them below as best I recall: - If someone is trying to leave the space with a stolen item, call all hands on deck and block the entrances until they've relinquished it. - If someone is harassing people or damaging the space, ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, then call all hands on deck and form a human net around them. Without touching them, guide them out the door. - Only if someone is physically violent do we respond with physical force. These responses would be absolute last resorts, and hopefully we would never need to employ them. Still, even if we tighten down our entrance policies, we should be ready to respond to people who are abusing the space and its membership. This way, we'll be prepared to respond in a way that's aligned with our values. Are there other ideas about how to deal with these types of situations? I've reached out to some radical spaces back in Austin to see how they would respond. If there are other spaces in town that might have some perspective or techniques, it'd be great to hear from them too. -null

I simply cannot contain myself. ?The second issue of my zine is now online at http://resistor.spaz.org! <http://resistor.spaz.org> Click the PDF directory. You will find reading & printing PDFs for both issues of SF Resistor so far. The second issue was actually finished just before Christmas as scheduled, but it's taken me this long to figure out FTP for the first time & get the files up without an internet-connectable laptop of my own. If you are just reading the zine online, select the read.pdfs for each issue. SFR2 appears green because it's printed on green paper. I am heading north in a couple months but plan to produce two more issues of SFR before leaving. I'm already at work on the 3rd one. Each issue will be printed on different color paper. Then I will collect the zine quadrilogy & dispense copies to excellent people. That will happen in mid-March/early April. Instructions for printing are on page 3 of SFR2, & will soon be up on the site in a README file. The site will be developed into a blog (ArcTangent (x) is the name) but is just a seedling file tree a t m. And for anyone who saw one of the crappy first-run print copies of SFR2, the PDF file write snafu has been corrected (it turned out to be a simple directory name error on my part) so I have print copies? that look good & are fully legible now. I'm bringing some to the OMNI bookstore this weekend. (My second visit to the new Sudospace.) I would like to help develop the SR zine & teach people how to make zines, do layout both digitally & by hand, etc. Also I am helping my friend, a person known to many, start a combination printshop+cafe in the east bay soon. The need is definitely there. I've been doing my printing at the public library & the print stations there are always packed to the max. I've started giving impromptu tutoring sessions to puzzled library patrons, since I often seem to know more about this stuff than the staff. *SF Resistor #2* *December 2014* *List of Contents* Page 1: Intro / District Zero / Freeks Page 2: Feedback (reader letters) Page 3: Printing, layout & design info Page 4: My Many SF Squats (3 Years of Exhilarating Chaos!)

kapton tape for 3D printer

by tom wang

Hello Guys, Do we have a thicker kapton tape for 3D printer printing bed? Something like >5" to cover the entire print bed with one shot. If we don't, would anyone be welling to pitch in with me for something like this <http://www.amazon.com/Mil-Kapton-Tape-Polyimide-yds/dp/B00CU3TB6O/ref=sr_1_…>? I really don't need 36 yard of kapton tape in my life time. Thanks -- ----- Tom Wang Ideation and Creativity Officer Voltset The content of this message is confidential.

Newbie Night Topics

by null null null

These last few weeks, we've been getting a lot of people for newbie night. It's a great way to introduce folks to the space, though the way I've been conducting the night, it's mostly just been an architectural tour. This is the ballroom, this is the community printing press, this is where the dumpstered croissants live. Unfortunately, this only prepares people to navigate the space; not to be excellent sudoers. So I want to open this up and ask, what else should newbie night cover? Some important ones: - our values - our history - our safe space agreements Is there anything else we feel should be added? -null

They imply a radically different way of thanking than the status quo outside our walls, where people tend to only care about themselves and think "other peoples' problems are not my problems". Which is GREAT but also raises the ante for all of us. I think this is one of the most important things we should be getting across when acculturating new people to our space - sharing isn't just about software and tools. We share responsibility for the space and for each other.

asked to leave

by Jake

Today a person who is suspected of having stolen something from Adam on January 3rd at 3:40PM was in the space. I had talked with Adam about it before, and I knew the story. Adam pointed out that the person was back. He was at the table in sudoroom using his computer. I gathered some people and we asked this person to leave until or unless they come back to a meeting, which we explained is at 7PM on wednesdays. I'm not sure if this discuss list is the venue for listing reasons to believe this person stole something, and i'm not naming them here at this point. This person said they do not know yet if they will attend the meeting. They said they would contact me via IRC if they plan to attend the meeting. If they do so, I will let everyone know so we can meet up and talk about it. thank you -jake
