Remaining Sudo leak

by David Keenan

Hi all! First, the good news: The one big-ish leak in the concrete room aka Sudo Room at 4799 appears to have been totally fixed. It appears to have been fixed by Rick who took photos of what he did to fix it and I uploaded them to a public Google Drive for our reference here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByjR12L1MEjCU3hqeEhCSS03MXM&usp=sha… Second, the bad news: New leaks in the skylight in the middle of the room immediately south of the one that was just fixed (above sudo's area, now). These new leaks are not as bad as the previous one. There are two main spots in that skylight that are leaking: - the main leak in this particular skylight is along the west edge of the skylight, just as with the one that was leaking before. - a secondary leak is coming from under the vent that is in this skylight. Both spots have been marked on the floor with new 'X's in blue painters' tape. Please leave those x's there until the leaks have been addressed (fwiw though the old 'x' in the CCL area can be removed now.) The landlord, the roofer, and the skylight guy have been notified. Skylight guy came by today to take a look also and I showed him. It would seem that a similar fix to this other skylight would take care of its main leak. The secondary leak under the vent in this skylight could perhaps possibly be abated by closing the vent.. somehow, since it is so high up we are not entirely sure how to do this. But, none of the other skylight vents (that are also open) are leaking so far, so we're not sure what it is about this one vent that is leaking. Hm. I did not find any other leaks in the building so far aside from this one, so that's good. As always, let the list know if anyone finds a new leak! Best, David

seating for omni ballroom?

by Matthew Senate

16 (10ft) pews and 1 (12ft) pew? These folks have extras they don't need: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/zip/4795888787.html Imagine putting them on wheels... we could push them aside around the room for a two-row deep circle of seating around the big open floor.

Hi all, Some Noisebridgers came by sudo's meeting tonight and informed us that Sid Scott, whom they banned from Noisebridge, is back in town and attempted to re-enter Noisebridge today. Sudo Room has a reciprocal ban agreement with Noisebridge. Do not let him in, and please contact me if you'd like more information.

bookscanner cameras

by Jake

I have acquired two Canon SD600 digital cameras for a bookscanner for sudoroom. these cameras are good for a bookscanner because they can run chdk and thus be set to operate very cooperatively with a bookscanner. plus they are good cameras. the reason there are two is because a good bookscanner photographs both left and right pages at the same time. The user flips the page, lowers the glass panels (which flatten the pages) and presses a single shutter button. if anyone here wants to make a bookscanner, and someone is willing to bottomline the project (not me) i will hand over the cameras. -jake

Sunday's Ferguson Response Catalyst Project event - call for help!

by Stephen Novotny

Dear all, What will the Omni do in response and in support of the BlackLivesMatter movement? I've had a few conversations around this question the over the last couple weeks and I imagine others have as well. This coming Sunday (Dec. 14th), we'll be hosting Catalyst Project <http://collectiveliberation.org/> in the Ballroom for an event titled "Black Liberation and White Anti-Racism in the Time of Ferguson." They've sent out an invite <http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2867d847f3&id=072f757718> to the public and through their own networks, which has been viewed by more than 23,000 people. Over the past week I've met people who've been receiving flyers to the event during the marches through Berkeley and Oakland, which leads me to believe there will be *a lot* of people here, a lot of *new* people from our wider community. I'm helping to bottom-line this event and could really use your help! 1. Reply to this thread if you are down to help steward our space and include your phone # (if you feel comfortable, send privately, etc.) as I want to be certain we are able to generously host all the folks in our community who will be coming to our space to respond to recent events 2. They'd like amplified sound and I'm not 100% certain what our current situation is - where is our sound system? do we have one adequate for this event? and can someone volunteer to run sound? 3. What has been the latest count of chairs at the Omni? do we need to get more chairs? with love st

Re: [sudo-discuss] Several bikes have been stolen from outside of the Omni

CSAM for pick up on the peninsula if you want it: (fwd)

by Jake

interested? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 10:57:29 -0800 Subject: CSAM for pick up on the peninsula if you want it: John writes: "As I pick up more junk I have to get rid of old stuff. I've decided I'm going to scrap my confocal scanning acoustic microscope which I never really use. If someone is interested in it let me know within a few days. It was mostly supposed to be a holdover until I got the SEM. It was missing a head (since acquired) and I think the unit is complete. I've never powered it up but, other than some very minor wiring issues on the z axis (can be operated manually), I believe its complete and functional. Beware that the granite linear stage is heavy, probably at least 200 lbs. Pictures/details here: http://siliconpr0n.org/uv/sonix_csam/ Probably free to a good home, but cash/trades also appreciated"

by Danny O'Brien

Niki Korth of the Free Bassel campaign writes: December 10th 2014 is Bassel Khartabil's 1000th day in prison in Syria.

special dual-link DVI adapter needed for 30" display - help?

by David Keenan

$99: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dv… Plugging directly into a 'normal' DVI adapter ie single-link DVI will not support the display's native resolution of 2560x1600. Single-link adapters will instead deliver a maximum of half the supported resolution, 1280x800. Single-link adapters include the typical Apple-style DVI>MiniDP adapter dongle most are used to using.. See: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201927 So if anyone feels like giving the video group a christmas present of this pricey adapter cable, that'd be really great! It would be kept with the monitor. Best, David

So great - Thank you Eriks!! >From Eriks: *1)* *Here's the 3d scan viewer for the ballroom:* *https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=f2tZhjtaAQZ* <https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=f2tZhjtaAQZ> *Here's the "workshop" (where you can measure things and write comments):* *https://my.matterport.com/models/f2tZhjtaAQZ* <https://my.matterport.com/models/f2tZhjtaAQZ> *Here's Sudoroom and Counter culture labs:* *https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=9JVcHS4y7aY <https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/#model=9JVcHS4y7aY>* *and the workshop:* *https://my.matterport.com/models/9JVcHS4y7aY <https://my.matterport.com/models/9JVcHS4y7aY>* *2) Please forward along to the groups who might be interested in seeing them!

Event in CCL tonight at 7pm.

Hi fellow sudoers, We'll be hosting a private event for members of the Real Vegan Cheese team and some of our IndieGogo donors in CCL this evening, starting at 7pm. We'll be doing a tasting of some existing vegan cheeses (the nut and soy-based varieties). I would prefer not to have random walk-ins during the event, but I expect there may be some leftover cheeses and beers to taste afterwards. Thanks! Patrik
