Hey I hung out at sudo room yesterday ... The sound art guys were cool!
Then came a public school dance group -- this lady led a bunch of male dancers which was neat. I'm so used to women dance troupes
It got me thinking:: how do you get the different groups to cross pollinate more?
Do sudo room people mix much with the dancers or the public school?
I'm already thinking of ways to coax the dance group to work with the experimental sound guys and do some kind of dance music hack!
Maybe we can build arduinos to put on the dancers !
Mwahaha

I'm watching the Recent Changes list and seeing a huge wave of spam.
I wasn't paying attention to the wiki until about a week ago, so
forgive my ignorance, but is there a strategy for dealing with this
stuff? Can I help?
Cheers,
Naomi

I'm a kopimist rabbi and can perform conversions, but they're not
recognized by most haredi kopimists. I can also write kopimist fatwas.
And who's interested in getting kopimism religious services started up again?

I am a happy girl, sitting in the hackerspace feeling all pwnie, which is
like a bronie, only not at all. (But I do like unicorns!)
I was given the password to the downstairs door on Friday. I came inside
imagining that there would be other people up here. Alas. There was no one.
I tried the downstairs password on the upstairs door. FAIL! (Mine, not the
system's or the hackers that put it together.) I could not get in. In fact,
I didn't even know the right URL to *get* in the door.
So I sat my bee-hind down on a couch in the common room, got on the wiki,
looked up "door access", found the server name for the inside door access,
and went there. It took me a few tries to figure out the password, but it
was not a hard one.
The door lock is kinda sticky. You can get the right password on the right
URL and hear the mechanism trying to do its thing, but the lock doesn't
fully unlock. The trick is to push the door closed tighter while the lock
turns.
So, yup, I'm inside. Between bringing cookies and breaking into the space,
I guess I should fill out the web form and start calling myself a real
sudoer now. :p
How secure do we need these doors to be? If we have people in the space
MOST of the time, then there is a lower need for security. With an often
empty space, there's maybe more of a risk of theft, vandalism or other
nastiness.
Security through obscurity is no security at all.

thank you so much bill! this was an absolutely urgent need and i would like
to extend a million thank yous to you for fixing it. we will suffer through
the lack of a single sign on, but that pain is worth it for the pleasure of
having the wiki up and running.
i'd like to also take a moment to thank others who have been doing awesome
stuff for the sudo community (if i have left you off the list this is my
oversight and not an intentional slight!):
thanks to andrew & jordan for working on the outside door - this is
imperative!
thanks to mitch for the soldering workshop yesterday
thanks to naomi for organizing the radio room (i'm sorry, but i unplugged
the ethernet switch because it was giving me some trouble!)
thanks to whoever has been getting the site up and running every time it
goes down
thanks to ray for feeding us at meetings and to all who have taken on the
roles of exchequer, facilitator, note taker, and last minute etherpad
switcher
thanks to everyone who has been trying to improve our conflict resolution
process
thanks to morten for bringing his family by to see the space and say hello
and thanks to everyone else who comes to the space, hacks at the space,
brings others to the space, and works to improve things that allow our
community to work better together and love sudo room.

Hi All,
Has anyone seen the 4x4 keypad thats been laying around the space for a
while? Its got a regular set of buttons you would find on a touch tone
phone plus A - D?
PS losing this will not delay the door project as i have a spare, but that
one already had headers sodered on.
Thanks,
Andrew
I think while its apparent that a discussion on issues of privilege, who is sheltered from what types of harm by existing social structures, and related topics are beyond the reach of this discussion, some of the statements i'm seeing in this sound like garden variety victim blaming. If that many people had been that overwhelmed by him, there wouldnt be criminal charges on record.

The wiki has been fixed, there was a problem with the wordpress common
login with mediawiki plugin. This means, unfortunately, there is no
unified login. So reset your wiki passwords
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Special:PasswordReset and you'll get a
new temporary pw emailed to you.
It is a long and arduous process, but the spirit of righteous
revolutionary sudo solidarity, nay, Sudodarity, calls on us to bear it
together. The spirit of Sudodarity will ring from our glorious
Kopimistic towers and halls! Sudodarity Forever!
