Luma has a nice feature where we can send attendees a pre-game email.

Looking forward to a fun *in-person* event. Downloads - We'll be using Ollama for the demo - Please download it on your laptop https://ollama.com/download - Have your IDE ready - Favorites are Microsoft Visual Code We'll be whiteboarding the rest along with the class. Food for thought We have posted some interesting videos to watch before or after the event. https://sudoroom.org/inspiration-from-goat-octavia-butler/ There are some nice clips of Ms. Butler herself speaking on Democracy Now in 2005! Regarding Parking: As you know, there's an epidemic of car vandalism. - Don't park on Telegraph around the Omni. - Bay Wheels bike share is the best option, the residential streets to the east of Shattuck are quite wealthy and less vandalized for some reason parking and then biking is a great solution. - Park a 5 minute walk on Dover street between 47th and 44th (the fancy residential across the street on Shattuck - Also around the large Walgreens parking lot at 5055 Telegraph is much safer too. - OmniCommons serve folks in need with food not bombs, etc. so be considerate of members and people hanging out in the front. They are not going to harm you or your car.

Looking for info on Sudo Room lease or similar agreements for external funding organization

by Dane

Hey Sudo Room, I want to check if there is an official lease that Sudo Room has with Omni Commons in terms of leasing the specific space that Sudo Room does at this time ? or even an unofficial lease Is Sudo Room considered a "fiscally sponsored project" of Omni Commons in terms of 501c3 relations ? Without Omni Commons, does Sudo Room exist as a legal entity ? (501c3 stuff) I am checking in with a community organization that is oriented towards community land trusts about finding a partner organization to join Omni Commons in potentially paying off the mortgage in exchange for equity, etc. The organization is non-profit 501c3 that is oriented towards preventing the usual capitalist development of land (preventing Omni Commons from being turned into "Omni Condos" or "Omni Shopping Mall", etc.) and they work with Sogorea Te' <https://sogoreate-landtrust.org/> Indigenous Land Trust, among other groups. *Can I find a Sudo Room lease or other formal/informal document that explains how much Sudo Room contributes/pays each month and for how much usage of Omni Commons ? * I think we (Sudo Room) contribute *$ 2000* each month to Omni Commons ? If I can show a formal or informal lease to this group, they can utilize it to see how the space is structured with the current groups/entities. Dane P.S.- I want to check on how I can get my Sudo Room wiki account <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Welcome> approved ?

https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2024-08-20/ THIS WEEK’S THEME: THE WONDER OF PANORAMAS - Sign up at https://lu.ma/z11o2ctd Panoramas have enchanted people since the dawn of humankind, with people painting 360 landscapes in caves to give the illusions of a “virtual reality.” Panoramas have existed as theme park-style wonders back to Shakespearan and Victorian times, allowing people to experience the wonder of visiting far-off lands (When Thomas Cole Caught ‘Panoramania’ at the Met <https://www.metmuseum.org/articles/thomas-cole-panorama>). THE PANORAMA AT THE LASCAUX CAVE IN FRANCE The theme for tonight’s SudoRoom will be panoramas in physical form through paintings and a trip through time to see their use in children’s toys, on light projections, tv screens and onward to modern augmented and virtual reality! Outside of that you can also do anything and everything! Solder, sew, and more HACK ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING <https://sudoroom.org/hardware-hack-night/> ○ *Projects:* can range from building course materials for teaching local kids electronics to a robotic arm that draws, to light projection art, to people building their own microchip boards! We provide the space, tools and peer learning – you bring your project and enthusiasm! *○ Group Sewing:* Learn to do simple mending or get help with technical fabric and textile projects.

we are low on lead solder

by Jake Watters

lead free solder sucks! and we are pretty low on non-lead-free solder. If anyone has extra rolls of regular lead solder (often labeled "rosin core" or Pb 63) and you want to store it at sudoroom, it will help. people new to solder often get frustrated when they don't realize they're trying to use lead-free solder, which sucks. Also the flux is toxic compared to the literal pine sap that's in regular solder. -jake

An idea - 💡 why is SudoRoom unique in this place and time and history and how has it uniquely impacted you?

by Romy Ilano

An idea - 💡 why is SudoRoom unique in this place and time and history and how has it uniquely impacted you? Thinking of a series of blog posts with people (we can use anonymous pseudonyms) There is nothing like SudoRoom and no place on the world that is like Oakland. We are the most original city in the United States 🇺🇸 If we express that it will also segue nicely into the unique projects we’ve made. I don’t think our mix of Brains and creativity can be found in quite the same way on another hackerspace !

Missed Opportunities: Reaching out to the arts - Adding SudoRoom to arts-focused community lists + visiting Museums

by Romy Ilano

I have been adding sudoRoom events to the Decentered Arts list - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1eX21lRIMOl3LLUhanRptk0jWbKoyZJV… It's a great place, and there are artists hanging out and doing slide shows of their art in people's homes. I think a missed opportunity that I could have done better on is reaching out to people in the arts who need a place to work and play. Artist are natural hackers. We do have a large ballroom, ideal places for weekly meetups of slides and artist stuff. And artists often build stuff with robots and explore areas like agumetnd reality. *We should always focus on what makes us special* if we only focus on "hackers" and biotech we have stiff competition, as Noisebridge is more well-funded and has more active nights (we love them though) Also, as Peter explained to me, UC Berkeley and Laney nowadays have extremely clean and well-equipped makerspace labs, and of course stuff is closer on campus. Due to gentrification we have also lost a large contingent of cool happy go lucky artsy mathematician and computer science types, and we're not in downtown Oakland. But the arts scene is pretty big in Oakland, and artists are hackers! I could have done better on this! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: As always we successfully repaired lots of stuff at Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night last week. Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do.So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get them started on their projects? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. This week we have no item check-ins at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins but we typically get lots of walk-ins. And Hilary writes that they are bringing two Chromebooks to convert to Linux: Hi Peter, I have two old (5+ years) chromebooks that have passed their EOL (2022 and 2021) but are still working ok (the trackpads tend to fail on these cheap models). However, my senior clients (I volunteer at Ashby Village) cannot use them to login to their Kaiser account (they get a message "please update your chrome browser"!). …I remember reading about a plan to refurbish that bypasses the EOL problem. Do you know anything about this? thanks Hilary 1. Lenovo N22-20 ; Model Name 80SF 2. Samsung 501C ; Model Code XE501C13-K02US Can someone look out for Hilary and get them started disassembling the Chromebooks to remove the write protect screws? (The entire process is outlined here: bit.ly/cbtuning ) Many thanks, -Peter

Re: My potential angel investor says he can't help

by Ad Poster

I just heard back from the guy I know who does philanthropic work. He says he can’t help. I’m not surprised, but I figured it was worth asking. Marc
