Subject: upcoming sudo kids: worms & food maps!

hi everyone,
lots of new folks interested in sudo kids! i've copied a number of the new
folks here. (new people: let me know if you'd like to be added to this
wonderful virtually traffic-free list, or add yourself at
http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-kids)
here are a few updates about sudo kids:
- updated wiki entry with a bit more info about who we are and what we
do - feel free to add more/modify/etc.:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKids
- more need for folks who want to lead activities and/or want to help
coordinate. have an idea for a project or activity that you'd like to do?
we've done calligraphy, radio, clay, art, mate-brewing, gardening,
homestead-keeping, piano, book-binding, and more. if you have an idea, we
should do it! feel free to reply all, reply just to me, or come chat on a
tuesday about anything you'd like to do. and if have a vague idea or aren't
sure what you'd like to do or want some help defining what you'd like to
do, we'd be happy to flesh ideas out with you.
- we have lots of stuff coming up! check out the schedule below:
- *this sunday 8/11: worms!* judi will be bringing a worm project to
sudo kids outdoor chapter which takes place every sunday at 10AM at my
house (2429 adeline). if you have outdoorsy projects and/or kids
you'd like
to do outdoorsy projects with, let me know!
- *next tues 8/13: food map!* beverly wanted to try out a food hack
night and so we're tentatively planning on getting some local food from a
goodeggs.com market that supposedly happens every tuesday near sudo
room and mapping out where the food comes from and how it got to us.
- *next sun 8/18*: *no plans yet!* want to do an activity? this slot
is available!
- *tues 8/20:* *tentative POSSE party!* the bay area community
exchange timebank (http://timebank.sfbace.org/) has been meeting
every other month at sudo and recently held a POSSE party (Potluck
Orientation Skillshare Swapmeet Events). these are open community events
that get people exchanging and sharing outside of the old ways.
there will
be food, skillshares, gift circles, and lots of families! we hope to get
some cross pollination between SudoKids and the BACE communities. if you
want to learn more about this, rick from BACE is copied on this email
(rick(a)bace.org) and would be happy to chat.
aaand that's the end of the wall of text. you are all awesome and i love
you. yay, we are doing sudo kids! we're making it happen! yaaay!

does anyone know what the frequency is? One can buy a $12 SDR receiver
which plugs into the USB, and can decode many kinds of radio signals
including fancy encryptable signals used by some police depts.
once we get reception going, it will be appropriate to talk about choosing
a server to host a stream.

We do! Our paired DSL comes with two phone numbers:
510-858-5052
510-858-7145
Right now our modem is attached directly to a 2-line jack. To start
receiving calls, all we need is a splitter box and DSL filters. Last I
checked there were a number of decent handsets lying around. We really
should have done this already, and I'm glad someone is showing the
initiative. :)
I think sudoroom should have a telephone! a real telephone, wired into
the wall. Perhaps sudoroom already has a telephone number? I don't know.
The reason i say this is because unlike noisebridge, sudoroom is only open
(to non-members a.k.a. potential members) at uncertain times.
I would really like to be able to tell these people "call this number to
see if anyone is at the space". That way, if sudoroom is open, the
members there can answer the telephone and tell the noobs that it's okay
to bike over, or whatever they do for transport.
If there is not a telephone at sudoroom already, I think we should set up
a VOIP phone. I know there is at least one VOIP box at sudoroom and if
not, i volunteer to donate one. (it's just a little box that plugs into
the ethernet, and has a telephone jack)
If anyone has a nice telephone, we can use that. Alternately I volunteer
to grab a payphone from noisebridge (there are a couple on a shelf) and
bolt it to the wall inside sudoroom and set it up.
but i am not willing to set up the VOIP account and configure the little
box, someone else can do that. Fortunately the cost of a VOIP phone line
is on the order of $2 per month (yes thats right).
I think it should be a 510 number, because some people don't have long
distance and it actually matters.

Folks,
Subiir needs more bottles still, in order to bottle our most recent batch.
So get your beer-face, get to drink, rinse with the bottle washer and place
in cupboard. Also, remember to get regular capped bottles, no twist-tops :)
Harrr!
Make a great day,
Morten
hi everyone,
radio room was rearranged this past weekend and is still somewhat in flux.
things are disconnected and kind of all over the place.
also the raspberry pi that was streaming content from the radio room to
radio.sudoroom.org has a problem and i am borrowing both it and the audio
interface that was attached to it to troubleshoot it. i've left notes in
the radio room to this effect as well. will aim to return both of these
(hopefully fixed!) within the next few days!
best,
marina
Have you see a Verizon flip phone? Please direct reply me ASAP!
[*As Sudo phone secretary (I set up the business number required for us to
be acknowledged as a "Google Place"), I get many interesting calls--from
swanky photographers' secretaries looking to use the space to host a photo
shoot, to people looking for space for meetings, people wanting someone to
talk to and people asking when we're open.*]
Hi Veggie Friends in Tech,
If you or a friend is looking for a place and want to live in a
veggie/vegan house, please give me a call. I live in a nice house in
Oakland by the lake and looking to have one roommate who is vegetarian or
vegan (I am vegan).
I will give you more details when you call or text. Please tell me that you
are part of this group.

hi everyone,
i'm here with liberty and we'd like to follow up on last week's
*classy*action item:
"Who the fuck are we?" Assessing folks who've signed up to be members [in
final tab on the fiscal solvency sheet] [Danny, Liberty, Brendan]"
unfortunately i don't have danny or brendan's email (and am even not sure
if they are on this list). could someone possibly confirm whether they are
on this list or copy them on a reply to myself and liberty? let's have some
updates for tomorrow!
best,
marina
