Hi friends, So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom. Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week! It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit from learning what you all know. For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll show up :) Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help. Ever upward, April

PACKAGE OF RFID WRISTBANDS SHIPPED TO THE OMNI

by Jake

A PARCEL CONTAINING 16 POUNDS OF NFC RFID WRISTBANDS WAS SHIPPED TO THE OMNI A WEEK OR TWO AGO. IT WAS ADDRESSED TO NIC WEIDINGER BUT IS INTENDED FOR SUDOROOM HACKING. I HAVE NOT SEEN IT NOR HEARD MENTION OF IT, SO I AM GUESSING IT IS SITTING IN THE OMNI NEAR THE FRONT DOOR SOMEWHERE SINCE NOBODY KNEW WHERE TO PUT IT. IF YOU FIND IT, OR HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF IT, PLEASE WRITE BACK. <S>THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE USED FOR PERMANENTLY IDENTIFYING COLLECTIVE MEMBERS AND WILL BE NECESSARY TO OPEN DOORS AND BATHROOM STALLS. YOUR RFID WRISTBAND WILL BE LINKED TO YOUR WIKI PAGE AND PRIVILEGE KEYBASE.</S> THESE RFID TAGS WILL BE FOR ALL KINDS OF FUN EXPERIMENTATION AND GENERAL RFID HACKING, AND CAN BE READ BY MOST MODERN PHONES. THEY HAVE USER-WRITABLE DATA SPACE IN THEM AND THE POSSIBLITIES ARE LIMITLESS. WHERE ARE THEY? -JAKE P.S. TODAY IS CAPS-LOCK DAY.

Help Us Get The Walk-in Working

by Ben Burke

Hello, David and Alice have found a way to get us a free replacement compressor for the walk-in freezer at omni. But the way involves manual labor and we need your help. We have to help remove the replacement compressor and the entire walk-in that it is currently attached to from a bar in San Francisco. David, Joe, and I helped Alice with it today. It will require at least 4 more hours of work. If you are available to help tomorrow (the 23rd), please let us know. Sorry this is so last minute, but we do need your help. Thanks, Ben

embroidery sewing machine needs needles

by Jake

we got the embroidery machine working!!! it's totally awesome. tl;dr we need needles! who will order this ebay item? http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-MEISTERGRAM-INDUSTRIAL-EMBROIDERY-MACHINE-NEEDLE… it takes a little coordination though, because it's an industrial sewing machine with a clutch pedal to engage the motor - and it's very powerful. So it will sew very rapidly and you have to steer the needle around the pattern at a rate matching the sewing rate. it's kindof like driving a ferrari in that way. anyway, it came with a single needle and it is broken now. We need more needles!!! we have plenty of everything else. it uses weird needles - they are the normal length (1.5") but their upper shank is 1/16" diameter which is smaller than standard sewing machine needles. http://www.sewingmantra.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/sewing-machine-needl… the machine is a Meistergram model M'100 and it uses the same needles as the M700 / M800 like the ones in the ebay item are for. if you order these needles, write to the list so we don't end up with 50, although i'm sure we'll need them if we use it enough. -jake

Massive LED Project at Noisebridge needs your help!

by James Sundquist

Dana and I have a grand idea for setting up easily programmable LED displays at Noisebridge in a massive matrix. What we need are donations of panels, which will be purchased and shipped by Mitch on his China trip. See our nicely organized wiki page for details, source code, and more info. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/LED

stuff.sudo - TAG ALL THE THINGS!

by Marc Juul

Our inventory tracking system is now up and running again! Go to: http://stuff.sudo Create labels by filling out the form and hitting "save and print" (remember to look at the preview of the label before printing, you have to manually hit enter in the description textbox to create newlines). Stick the label on the item, and you can either scan the QR code to go to the item's wiki page, or look at the ID on the printed label and for e.g. ID 42, go to: http://o.sudoroom.org/42 When you print a label it will come out of the label printer next the the wooden 3D printer. If it doesn't work, ensure that the label printer is on (it should have a green light) and connected. The software has been updated to the latest codebase so it should crash less and will automatically restart if it does crash. The code is here: https://github.com/sudoroom/labitrack Unfortunately (or fortunately) our old database was lost in the mists of moving (or maybe it wasn't but I couldn't find it) but the wiki pages remain, so it should be easy enough to create redirects. -- marc/juul
