East Bay Vegan Drinks - 18th May Olde Depot Oakland

by Ryan Bethencourt

Dear All, I just thought you might be interested in a fun upcoming event, the East Bay Vegan drinks night on Thursday May 18th at Olde Depot in Jack London! I thought it might be a great cross pollination between Sudo room, East Bay DIY Bio and the East Bay Veg community (which is also diverse). At the moment there are 20 people confirmed on Facebook and about 12 maybes, come, join us, hang out whether you're vegan, veg, veg curious or just want to come and have a beer and hang out :) - - Thursday, May 16, 2013<https://www.facebook.com/events/calendar/2013/May/16> - 6:30pm until 8:30pm - Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or just experimenting with meat-free eating, come meet others in the community for happy hour drinks! We'll be at the new vegan bar Olde Depot, right down the street from Souley Vegan, one of Oakland's best.

Fwd: former pictopia building- thoughts?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

This place seems way too large for any of us individually, but could make for a good place for a hackerspace collective, if a couple groups want to band together. Not close to BART, but with a good bus connection (including the free Emery Go-Round shuttle). Patrik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Harbowy <hbergeronx(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 5:37 PM Subject: former pictopia building- thoughts? To: east-bay-diybio(a)googlegroups.com All, just saw this poking about: http://www.ccarey.com/resources/propertysearch/DetailPageIndustrialLease.as… 7000 sq ft, Emeryville, ~$7030/month A bit bigger than we need, but it has tremendous curb appeal in terms of a space that would attract attention. Not that that's a good thing. Thoughts? -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "East Bay DIYbio" group.

Sudo Shirts: 2nd Edition

by Daniel Finlay

Hi Sudoers, I've received some inquiries about when we could do a second batch of sudo shirts. Herein I will lay the groundwork for such shirts to happen. First of all, today I was struck with a very simple sudo shirt design, which combines a few ideals that I've developed from my time screen printing: Using a colored shirt, minimizing ink use through tactful shirt color choice, creating focus from the graphical elements instead of the text. Also since this design would be a one-screen design, it would be ideal for doing an in-house screen printing workshop using water based inks (another environmentally superior decision), not to mention the possibility of keeping the screen on location for impromptu sudo prints. This design is not actually the original sudo-button .svg that goes around. I modified this one (attached) to enhance the lines, fix a couple corner-jag issues, and to tweak some of the sides to be more parallel. I'm pretty sure the edges are not all "perfectly parallel" here, and if we have any illustrator gurus on the list, that might be a cool thing to do. That said, this is a more precise sudo logo than we've had before, let me know if the subtle imperfections were cherished and I can revert this design. (Btw- What's the constellation depicted? Any?) I and other sudo members have volunteered to donate the labor involved in producing these shirts, which would bring the price down to "cost", which will be $4.55 per shirt (American Apparel runs more expensive, but has some good-labor practices, so unless there's another preferred manufacturer, it seems the morally superior choice for now). I donated the previous batch of shirts, but I'm currently donating what I can per month in dollars, so I'd like the Sudo Room's help to buy the blank shirts. If resold at $20 each, there would be a 339% profit on each shirt sold, which is probably a good thing to ask, since it doesn't require change, and it's a fundraising shirt anyway. So: How's support for this design, and at $4.55/shirt, how many would we like Sudo Room to stock up on? When the time to print comes around, I'll organize the volunteer effort, thanks for all the offers I've received! -Dan Finlay

Bike Smut update!

by Vicky Knox

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for agreeing to host Bike Smut!! Below are the details that Bike Smut co-organizer Reverend Phil and I are working on. Your help and input is much appreciated, so please speak up! With your help, this event will be that much more spectacular! 1) MONEY/TICKETS Due in part to the popularity of the show, and to keep the show going, Bike Smut has historically been a paid-entry event. They would like to offer to split door sales with Sudo Room 50/50--yay money!! (And just a note on this: I don't know if this is a no-brainer, but this would not effect your ability to access Sudo Room. Please be fair though if you do plan to "sneak in" and donate a little mulah if you are able to.) 2) AUDIO Does anyone here on the list have access to a good audio system for movie screenings? This will be an ongoing question as we host Fabulous Friday Films. I have a carshare and can offer to pick up, babysit and drop off your sound system. 3) SEATING Hooray for all our couches, chairs and pews! We will need help with arrangement and expanding our seating options. 4) LIGHTING The show includes live performances, and said performances will need good lighting. Overhead lighting is not flattering, and a few lamps might be all we need. Let's try setting this up in advance. 5) PROMOTION It's a strange beast but absolutely critical to the show. This is the last screening of their current tour, "Turning Trixxx" in The Bay and possibly ever. Let's make sure people feel luck they got a seat at all! Please make a call out to your networks far and wide! Sudo Room promotion: Bike Smut people will be giving us a shout-out. If you have any other suggestions for promoting our space, please speak up! 6) MERCH/DRINKS/SUNDRIES We will need to claim one of the common room tables (5 sq feet or more) to sell underwear, stickers, and such. Beverages: Let's talk off-list at the next meeting (May 1st) regarding availability/donations/etc. Food: Pretzels! Popcorn! If there is something snacky you like making, consider bringing it for donations/sale! And finally, "I'm glad we have got some mustached men on working the door. Ushers who can make the guests comfortable are very welcome." --Reverend Phil

Booking the Common Space

by William Budington

Hey all, In the interests of sharing the common space with The Public School folks and not double-booking events, and in the absence of a web-based solution, the Public School has posted a physical calendar in the common room. If an event is expected to be large enough that it needs to reserve the common room and can not meet in sudoroom proper (I'm thinking Oakland Nights Live, for instance), please pen in your event for that day as well as the time it's starting/ending, so that other groups that use the common space know that the space is reserved. If your event is only going to take up half the common room, but is still too large for sudoroom, please write it in anyway and make a note (e.g. "1/2 common room needed") and then if the Public School has a similar situation we can work it out on a case-by-case basis. I predict this to be an edge-case though. Sudodarity forever! Bill

NymRights meetup - Thursday (5/2) at 7pm

by aestetix

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey! It looks like we'll be having our next NymRights meetup this Thursday, 7pm at sudo room*, near the 19th st BART stop. I'm also going to try to arrange for some kind of call-in conference phone number so that people who are not in Oakland can join and contribute as well. Main topics for the meeting: * What is this IDESG thing coming up? * Discussion on our existing "nym" use cases * Positive ways to educate people on nyms We'll also make something resembling meeting notes and post it on NymRights.org for people who cannot make it but are interested in participating.
