My "Today I Learned" this Sat

by Mitch Altman

Hi, I wanted to start publicizing my workshop this Saturday for Today I Learned. But it looks like the wiki for Today I Learned is broken. Is it still OK to do the workshop on Saturday afternoon? My idea is to teach anyone and everyone to solder using lots of fun and intriguing kits for total beginners to complete successfully (and cool enough for experts to enjoy, too). TV-B-Gone kits, Brain Machine kits, blinky-light kits, and lots, lots more. Anyone can learn this stuff! All skill levels, all ages -- all welcome! More info:https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Mondays Any way to get the workshop on the Sudo Room main calendar? It would be nice to use this to attract some new folks to Sudo Room. Thanks,Mitch.

on building the world you want to live in

by Lit JC

for your reading pleasure: http://www.windley.com/archives/2013/03/build_the_world_you_want_to_live_in… Cisco has made the assertion that there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet by 2020. That number might be high or low as it related to “devices” but I think it seriously underestimates the number of connected things that we’ll need to eventually contend with—by several orders of magnitude. The real number is likely in the trillions. The driver, of course, is Moore’s law. John Clippinger reports that an Android phone can be had for $30 in some places. That same connected, computational, sensor platform will cost $3.00 and then $0.30 and then $0.03. When a wireless sensor platform costs $0.03 where will it be? Everywhere. Everything, even disposable things like razors or pens, will be gathering data…about you. We probably don’t really have a choice about whether a $0.03 wireless sensor platform will exist. Technology marches on. But we do have a choice about how it will be employed. If we follow the path we’re on now, all those devices will be controlled by some company somewhere that is providing the service behind them. [snip]

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, tonight is the inauguration and launch event of hack the gallery, a new creative collaborative space in north berkeley. there will be a short panel of speakers (including mitch altman and a number of sudoers and sudofriends), a live piano performance, and socializing in the space (which used to be a theater!) PLUS ray will be catering with vegan ice cream! Where: 1861 Solano Avenue A, Berkeley, California When: 7-9PM (doors open at 6PM) Why: because we support more hacker and creativespaces in the bay area and beyond! :) More info (including the list of speakers): http://hackthegallery.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/HacktheGalleryInaugura… RSVP here: http://www.facebook.com/events/162804420543492/ - marina ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patrick Schmidt <psbschmidt(a)googlemail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 3:56 AM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] Hack The Gallery To: Andrew <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com> Cc: ":::Marty:::" <mrwood(a)gmail.com>, sudo-discuss < sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Hi guys, (all sexes) I just came back from the noisebridge to go over some details with Mitch, who checked out my space in berkeley last week. i wanted to announce it Wednesday at the Meeting but as you are talking about Friday 22nd I have to do it now: So I am running this community Art Gallery called the "Open Fine Art Gallery" in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre in north Berkeley, 2 miles north of downtown. As an art gallery its fun to bring people together, lots of new artists that never showed before, but nothing sells and financially it really sucks to be honest, all savings almost gone. We have been transitioning to a community center, every open day (wed-sat) there is a free and donation based class... On Friday March 22 we have a Fundraiser and Kick-Off coming up and we are going to declare the Space a quantum community space, which means a superposition of - hackerspace -makerspace -tinkerspace -co-creator space - coworking space -developer space - you name it whatever space - avocado institute - nyan cat university and whatever the people who use it as a creative community space want to call it (declare it sudo!?) I have been asking some folks that opened community spaces to give talks as well and want to announce that anybody who wants to give a talk on - opening a community space - why a community space is awesome please let me know for the awesome people in our community who have awesome stuff to share about this and might wanna do so. With or without Powerpoint, well planned or spontaneouly. The place has a huge potential (45 feet high walls, vacant theatre next door) So I would like to invite you all to the Kick-Off Event, and also to be part of transition, please let me know if you wanna get involved. best , Patrick 2013/2/26, Andrew <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com>: > For anyone who watched TPB_AFK last week.

Tamale's USB pins fell out D:

by Yardena Cohen

Tamale is our door controller, as you probably know. It controls the doorknob by a USB cable. The cable is spliced in two wires which were apparently VERY LOOSELY attached to two pins on the raspi. In the process of running ethernet cable from the crawlspace, we accidentally knocked into tamale and both the wires came loose. We don't know how they were attached! We'll try trial & error, but it would be very helpful if someone could help us, who actually put it together in the first place. How ironic that we finally get the outer door connected, and then we break the inner door. tl;dr could tamale's makers please help us fix the USB pins?

Oakland Nights...Live!

by Oakland Nights Live

Hi Sudo room- So we had our show on Saturday night and felt like it went really well. We love the space, you guys and the feeling of 2141 Brdwy. A lot more people showed up than expected, but it felt like the space could handle it and I think we cleaned up well afterwards. We wanted to check in and see if you were okay with us continuing to have the show there monthly, hopefully on the 2nd Saturdays. If you have any concerns, either about what happened on Saturday or about what you imagine could happen in the future then lets talk about them. Either way, if you are into the show, we would love to talk a little bit about how to make it sustainable for everyone. Also, if have the show at the space next month, we were hoping to have the theme be Hacking and would love to have a guest or two though Sudo room! Tell us what you think about everything. Thanks! -- Jeremy Michael Dalmas Host Oakland Nights...Live!

Re: [sudo-discuss] DOOR ACCESS HACKING!

by Yardena Cohen

I got a hold of George and asked him about running the cables, and he basically unlocked a closet door with access to a crawlspace and said "have at it!" So if someone can get enough cable to Sudoroom TODAY or TONIGHT, then we can solve this problem! I've looked everywhere, including the networking closet in the hallway (George opened it for me) and I can't find any large spools of Cat5. I'm going to crawl up and measure exactly how long we need. In the meantime, can someone please help get some cable here? Thanks!

Flattr button added, wepay button changed

by William Budington

Today I worked on removing some of the 3rd party javascript trackers from the wordpress. You'll see that there's now a click-through for WePay. This is so that the remote javascript normally included in every pageload will now only be included if you click on the WePay button. This means WePay can no longer track your browsing pattern through sudoroom wordpress, and it's js is only included if you opt in. I've also disabled the 3rd party javascript that JetPack includes by default. I've also added a flattr button so that you can give us a microdonation through flattr! Bill
