We should put up signage for Sudo Room on the Broadway side of the building. We've already asked George about whether it would be OK to put it on the arched awning above the 2141 Broadway door and have the go ahead. Apparently, if we use the same white on blue format, there are no additional costs. Other colored designs would require Sudo room being registered with the city & have to take part in paying for insurance for the building (albeit proportional). Does anyone have the tools necessary to make the stencil? Anyone up for painting over the stencil in the bear future? In fact, if it's trivial to do - might make sense to try and get it done by Art Murmur tomorrow night. sent from eddan.com

Membership dues - payment options!

by Tommy York

Hey everyone, Please pay membership dues when you get a chance. I updated the WePay campaign page, so you can again donate money / pay membership dues (with a new total in the percentage widget covering February actual and projected March), and can collect checks whenever you see me. I live two blocks away, so I'm more than happy to just run over if I'm not getting anything done. At the moment, I'm trying to collect all the payment information, so I can develop a member list for February. Paying in advance for March is always nice too. I think we'll be starting a sudo-fund - another, separate sub-listserv - soon, which will discuss ideas for funding Sudoroom. Projects, processes, the like.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Artmurmur] Art Murmur membership

Thanks Eddan, I'm glad you're taking action on this. I'm still finishing up the wiring on my megavirus, this Friday and Saturday is Barbot 2013 in San Francisco, so I will be busy until Sunday.

While an ad hoc group makes sense for particular projects, I think some kind of stable, but dynamic group of Sudo folk, even if just a few people, could really help round up participation for displaying the art people make anyhow as well as other coordination as required. I propose we form something like a Dynamic Association for Displayed Art (DADA) that rotates active contributors each month based on the particular installations and projects are going on. Documenting how we go about it each month on the Sudo Wiki would also be really helpful for coordinating future events more efficiently. > > Given the Ferro Fluids phenomena transpiring in Sudo Room and now the arrival of a giant papier-maché cruise-ship, we should get some Sudo folks on a cc:ed list to communicate about the Aug. 3 Art Murmur. This group can solicit people's art, make sure projectors, etc. are set up, make sure there are cups to accompany the wine, make sure teenagers don't exceed their turn playing Frogger, and other logistics evidently requiring organization. > > I want to put together a 'happening' connected to the box office maximum occupancy experiment on Aug. 3, if anyone else wants to help out with > that.

Fwd: programming classes for kids -- need input on a venue!

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Does everyone want to do a fund-raiser/linux install athon with RoShamboMedia, so that we can have laptops for checking-in-checking out for sudoroom classes?(see specs inline) These are actually nice laptops, but they aren't worth a whole lot(maybe 200 complete tops), so theft wouldn't be a big issue. This would be a great deal for teaching classes and etc. for everyone at sudo.
