Just for the record, I've lived in Oakland almost a decade, I've driven to Omni 100+ times, and my car has NEVER been broken into. I'm pretty sure that's because I just don't leave shit in it.

SUDO Door

by Dustin Mabry

Hey folks! I, Dusty, and Anka have been putting in some time with the door to SUDO and CCL. We have reached a point were it is important to get information/input from you...as we can't proceed with this project without it. *The basic needs for this door:* - The door needs to sweep/open outward, toward the main exits of the building. As such it needs to be "hanged" in a way opposite of it's current (now former) position. - There needs to be a "panic bar" installed along with a nice "door closer". We have the door closer and a panic bar. The panic bar as selected by Marc (who knows more about this stuff than Anka and myself). *Needed from SUDO/CCL folks:* - In order to re-hang this door, we need to figure out how the panic bar will work with the existing door frame. - We need to have folks from SUDO relay information about, or instal (preferred), a panic bar system that will work with whatever electronic entrance mechanism you will want for your space. A note on Labor: Anka and myself, Dusty, are working with doors throughout the building. We are learning as we go and I feel that it's much slower than I anticipated. Each door in this place is different and most are quite wonky. I will be out of town for the month of July...and subsequently unable to work on this project until my return in August. We want you to have a great door for your space, and we want it to be exactly what you want. :). Can SUDO folks take this issue to a meeting and have it discussed (if appropriate)? Thanks! Dusty

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudo Member Space Access procedure

by Jake

Hi Niki! I meant to respond when you sent a message like this awhile ago, regarding someone who refused to properly close the door after opening it. Before I talk about the technical situation, which I believe applies to this problem, I want to try to answer your specific question. The procedure for granting door access, when I do it, is by demonstrating how the unlocking and re-locking procedure works, and making sure people understand that they must re-lock the door after opening it. But of course sometimes people will forget, or worse, actively shirk their duty to re-lock the door. In the latter case, if a person refuses your request to re-lock the door they unlocked, I will electronically revoke their access until they explain themselves at the appropriate meeting. This would also be appropriate for people who repeatedly forget to re-lock the door after themselves. We have been working on the door technology a lot this last week, improving reliability. But we have been holding back on adding features because I understand that we are very close to replacing the front door. The new front door will not "unlock" and "re-lock" but will be the usual type of door which you "buzz" open, and when it closes it locks again. One of the features we can add in the meantime is a record of incidents when people use their card to unlock the door, and it does not get re-locked within 5 minutes. If the people are not members of La Commune, we will know to contact them for re-education. It's my understanding that we have received a permit to replace the front door, and that someone bottomlining that project has taken measurements. I do not know how long it will take or who is doing it, but this is why I have not changed the front door system to activate the doorknob instead of unlocking the pins. If it activated the doorknob instead, it would automatically lock when the door closed again. But it's a lot of work to do considering the door will be replaced very soon. Once again, if any person with electronic access is being irresponsible with unlocking the door, I am willing to de-activate their card until they come to the appropriate meeting to resolve the problem. And I will be more pro-active in reminding people to lock the door they open, and I will look into the access logging feature. thank you, -jake On Friday, Niki wrote: Hey friends, Can someone point me to where the procedure for granting new Sudo member access to the space is (if there is one?) The front door was left open by a Sudo member (no personal hard feelings!) and I just want to make sure that it's being communicated to members that the door should be closed and locked if no one is watching the front. I am working on an orientation pamphlet for folks who are new to the space (it's taking longer than anticipated!) so hopefully by the time we re-key, we'll have something more tangible to provide people. <3 N

Asked Egon to Leave

Resources for music theory?

by Marc Juul

I'm specifically trying to get into orchestral composition. Currently I can read basic music notation and can play at least piano+guitar at a basic/intermediate level. I'd like to level up my theoretical understanding and at the same time get some experience composing. This looks ok, but a bit basic: https://www.coursera.org/course/musictheory Any recommendations for online resources / books / university lectures I can sneak into? -- marc/juul

borrow a projector

by April Glaser

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone here has or knows of a projector that I can borrow for one week starting next week? I am going to Mexico for a conference, and we are in need of an extra projector. Mine has broken. I promise to be very, very extra careful with it. Happy to talk more about any details. The conference is bringing really amazing technology community organizers from across Mexico to meet with students and academics at the Caribbean Philosophical Association's annual conference. http://www.caribbeanphilosophicalassociation.org/cpa-2015.html An example of one of the videos we want to share: https://vimeo.com/88181427 Thanks so much, April -- 0x54FC570B

Last minutes to become a Founding Member of CCL!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Our Kickstarter campaign closes in minutes - 10:34 PST, to be precise. *This is your very last chance to sign up as a *Founding* Member, or to get one of our other amazing rewards. * *https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1836537355/counter-culture-labs-your-biohacking-and-citizen-s* <https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1836537355/counter-culture-labs-your-b…> We've already reached our $30K target, but we are still collecting donations towards our stretch goal: a -80 freezer to store cultures, plasmids, strains, etc.. A -80 freezer makes sure that the project you're working on today will still be around for people to build on next year, or five years from now. Our plan is for this to become a resource for the whole community, so we will be happy to store archival collections from BioCurious and other DIYbio labs. We'll be one of the community's distributed backup nodes, as it were. Support your friendly local biohackers and mad scientists! 28 minutes to go and counting... Patrik

Joe, it sounds like he flat out lied to you. He makes a member feel unsafe and is not welcome until that issue is resolved. That's the only story anyone needs to know at this point. Our policies are very clear about that.

help with laser cutting (& design) ?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, I've been meaning to design and laser cut a contraption for our Science Sideshow at the Cal Academy NightLive LIVE <http://www.calacademy.org/nightlife/nightlife-live-june> event this Thursday evening, but I'm rapidly running out of time. Anyone able to give me a hand? Basically, I found these vases that look just like giant test tubes - long cylinder with a rounded bottom. So now I want to make a giant test tube rack, and have them sitting at our booth with some food color and dry ice, steaming away. Would look awesome! I got about halfway through designing the thing in Inkscape, but I've never dealt with designing fasteners for plywood before. Needs to have a wide base so it doesn't tip over, but also needs to be hangable from a wall, so the base may need to be removable. If I were to order this through Ponoko, I'd probably go with something like their 1/4 inch amber bamboo plywood <http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/show-material/226-bamboo-amber-3-ply>. Is there any plywood at Sudo? Recommendations for a good place to buy nice plywood? Patrik

They have a presence in 11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and growing fast with 10 new cities to launch by end of 2015. This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a viable mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help build future community of Wikipedians. The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth navigate and use our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This program will be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s) to train their staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in their program. If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via email, I can share more details.
