How is everyone doing? What have you worked on this week?

by Romy Ilano

I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light projection. I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to hardware hack night Tuesdays! One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many. Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would distract me and try to get me into that the past few weeks. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

by Romy Ilano

https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me It's surprisingly easy with glitch! If you have vision Pro or a quest headset and have your web XR enabled, jump straight into SudoRoom at this very moment :) https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me I think this capture has peter in it =D This is fun, looking forward to building more webXR / virtual reality web environments in the future! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Safety Volunteers at SUDO/OMNI

by William Myers

Recently the OMNI has experienced some serious safety issues, including a situation that resulted in police being called into the space. The delegates are asking for volunteers that can be available generally to respond to safety issues relating to Safe Space Bans, and other safety issues... - responding quickly to Safe Space bans - making sure building access is revoked for banned people - making sure that the Process's for safe space bans, as well as and a process for reporting unsafe behavior, are publicly visible and available in the space. This will likely be formalized into an official committee later on, which will include de-escalation training, but for now we would like to ask for more volunteers. If you have time for helping improve Safety at SUDO and OMNI please reach out! Thanks William

tuesday hardware hack night was magical!

by Romy Ilano

Last night was quite magical! It reminded me of why I love hackerspaces so much. I invited 5 or 6 cool people from AI and augmented reality / virtual reality meetups and hackathons I knew. I think most of them had never been to a hackerspace before. three new people showed up, and none of them had ever been to SudoRoom before. We got an exhibiting artist to visit! I'd like to get more painters, artists etc. to be visiting SudoRoom. Talked about paintings, and making 3D models, and using the light projectors to project art. Introduced them to the media lab with CeCe (sic) and the sewing machines. Dane put up a light projector (I'm face palming becusa I keep talking about this but never bring the ones I have, one of them is a loaner from SudoRoom that I need to leave at SudoRoom), and he projected the hackers movie onto the wall. A cool new person came and we did multiplayer augmented reality with our headsets. Augmented reality is at a nascent stage right now, but I love creating art on it the most. We mirrored what we were seeing for others. We talked about doing an ongoing blender class and I learned how to do Booleans to cut shapes out of others shapes. I think since I'm time constrained I might as well run a small pod of people Tuesday evenings. Went over kitbashing. Had some great green goddess pizza with Paige and folks. Thanks Paige for supporting the pizza! Explored the neighborhood (Temescal) with the folks who had never been to SudoRoom before. AN ongoing theme is that we never seem to grab the awesome foot traffic of the neighborhood. There were so many people walking to restaraunts last night even though the area has relatively little parking. More than you might see in a lot of downtown oakland There were regular community gatherings at the board game store across the street (is it called it's your move) there's a kitchen appliance store that was having a cooking workshop (they could be at omni commons!) Only took a quick look at the new telepresence robot. I spoke to Jake, i will have to email the company that made the robot, hopefully we can connect to them and get a free software update since we are a non profit While I was there I got an AI APi to work, might make something fun for a hackathon or sudoroom demos. I'm very interested in using AI to help people create art manually instead of replacing artists. It was nice to see the dance event going on tuesday nights. wonder if I should reach out to them and interact with them more! we talked about fundraising for sudoroom, omnicommons and the MADE game museum in old oakland. A lot of the stuff at Sudoroom is suitable for a museum - it'd be nicve to have augmented reality exhibits of what stuff is and "educate people" step by step beased on their engineering level and computer history knowledge what things are. There are going to be great things ahead this month! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

tool lending request for car repair

by Paige P

Hi, Freeway (Wood Street Commons member) is requesting the following. "Joel needs the following tools to fix our brakes: 14 mm socket,a jack, 21mm socket, a wire brush, a large flathead screwdriver... if anyone can loan him these tools for the day, we can return them as soon as he's done... thanks in advance!" does anyone have a jack to lend them? I believe the rest of the items we could lend from Omni's supplies Thanks, Paige

I'm psyched to return to Hardware Hacking Tuesdays!

by Romy Ilano

It's been so long! I'm going to show up a little early - Got 1 person from the (dead) Virtual Reality /AR group at Noisebridge to come (tentative) He's new in town and actually working on his own AR / neurology headset - Getting 2 people who are collaborating on AI to come, one of them actually has a Quest Headset - I have my own Augemnted reality projects related to light projection as well. Think I might make an effort to bring one of the light projectors to NB! What have you been working on this week? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Upcoming night this Tuesday hardware hacking night - strictly light projection for me!

by Romy Ilano

Here's my only project I'm interested in at SudoRoom! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Romyilano#Bestest_Most_Current_Things Sorry, no time to listen to people make presentations on stuff going on outside of sudoroom! No things where I have to click on a link to see some kind of project. no presentations! no powerpoints! No involvement in anything that is not light projection! No multimedia room even, just don't got time for it. My only involvement is going to be working on a hardware hack project and learning. I'm bringing the VR and AR folks over, and maybe some AI Folks! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Next Tuesday hardware hack night - themed VR + AI as well!

by Romy Ilano

Hey, I haven't been able to come by SudoRoom in a while! Next tUesday hardware hack night I invited folks from the VR and AR community as well as some cool AI folks to come by. I've been going to a lot of hackathons, and I want to promote the "stay gold" vibe by inviting folks to a space. https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/300064981/ I guess if you know anyone who has a VR headset especially, that would be really cool! We can also check out the robot and update the wiki. I'm debating bringin my light projector (actually the sudoroom light proejctor) I'll check with jake but looking into installing something permanently in the balcony. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Re: [omni-consensus] Safe space bans on both Ian and Trevor

by Toan Nguyen

Hey everyone, Earlier today I've met with several Omni volunteers and touched on this topic. After meeting with volunteers I initiated a conversation with Trevor. Our chat was mutual and it helped us understand the situation more. *I have requested to Trevor that he temporarily stay away from Omni and take that time to process and reflect on his reaction for assaulting Ian.* *Trevor was receptive to leave and stay away from Omni for a one week period begining today.* *(April 6 - April 13)* For clarity - this is a modified safer space ban and I did not include any mediations nor did I felt the need to escort him out of Omni. This ban was initiated as an individual Omni volunteer and not on behalf of East Bay Food Not Bombs.

URGENT: Omni needs a $120k loan

by Jake

Hi everyone. The Omni Commons, the building that sudo mesh co-owns with sudo room, Counter Culture Labs, Food not Bombs and several other collectives just had a private lender back out of a loan last minute and now it cannot pay its $120k property taxes due tomorrow. If anyone is willing to lend us $120k, even if it's for just three months until we to sort out another loan, please contact me. This needs to happen before tomorrow at 4 pm pacific time. The loan would be secured by the building as a second mortgage so it should be fairly low risk. -jake

The third place space

by Romy Ilano

I don’t know if we could call this marketing, but there are a lot of private venture funded social spaces popping up. Being biased I find ours is much more genuine and interesting.

I just sent a notice to the SF Shut up and write group

by Romy Ilano

https://www.meetup.com/shutupandwritesfo/ I just sent a notice to the SF shut up and write group. Our space would be ideal for this kind of event! I can also note that we have tons of food in walking distance nearby! I'm actually pretty busy this month so this wouldn't start for a while, but let's get the ball rolling --- Hey folks - at the SudoRoom hackerspace in Oakland Temescal (next to the MacArthur BART) we have a lot of creative events. I'd be interested in hosting an in-person shut up and write alongside an online event. We have the gear to share to televise the live space. It's a big creative hackerspace with a sewing / materials workshop downstairs. There are also robots and electronics equipment as well. Thursdays, Sundays and Fridays are open https://sudoroom.org ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

should we reach out to shut up and write to bring more arts to the space?

by Romy Ilano

I discovered that there are "hackerspaces for writers" in San Francisco https://www.pagestreet.org I go to a lot of "Shut up and Write" events - wouldn't it be cool to bring the shut up and write folks to SudoRoom? I'll get on top of this once I get a job, prioritizing coding interviews and don't have much time lately ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

[sudo-info] New maker event in the Bay Area looking for cool projects

by Jake

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Caleb Kraft <caleb(a)opensauce.com> To: info(a)sudoroom.org Subject: [sudo-info] New maker event in the Bay Area looking for cool projects I'm Caleb Kraft, you might remember me from the last 10 years at Maker Faire. I've just left Make to help grow a new event that has a ton of overlap. You can find it at OpenSauce.com. Basically, back in 2019 when Maker Faire died for a while, we started brainstorming what a new event could be, mashing up our favorite parts of Maker Faire and Vidcon. OpenSauce was born. Tons of maker booths and a stage packed with folks you will recognize. We don't have a blog or magazine though, so getting the word out to get people to come show off requires a bit more of a personal touch. The event is in mid June. Do you all have anything fun you'd like to exhibit? -- Thanks for your time, Caleb Kraft

Tomorrow Free Film Screening at Omni "Israelism" 5pm to 9pm!!

by Z Silver Zahn

Free film screening at Omni on 3/31 5pm to 9pm Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bondvm3hvGM 5:00 doors open 5:30-7 screening 7:00-9 optional facilitated social space address - 4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland CA. RSVP with this link -------> RSVP LINK <https://partiful.com/e/LXDxBLiXBp8gsG7eVMAt?fbclid=IwAR2NA7IRRujeWYJ_-ykRbf…> This is a documentary about Zionism, and how the ongoing colonization and genocide of Palestinian people is whitewashed and sold to young American Jews. It exposes the brainwashing, the army recruitment, and predatory tactics such as youth groups, propaganda campaigns, and Birthright Israel. It also highlights the growing movement of anti-Zionist Jews opposing Israel’s colonial project and standing in solidarity with Palestinians. After the movie, we will hold an optional facilitated social space for people to process, learn, and have deeper conversations about the topic. Our goal is to collectively unlearn Zionist ideas and biases, to reflect on our various relationships to Israeli fascism, and to hopefully better prepare ourselves to take action in the movement for a free Palestine. People of all backgrounds encouraged to attend! You don’t need to be Jewish, SWANA or anything else to unlearn Zionism. It has touched all our lives. RSVP with this link -------> RSVP LINK <https://partiful.com/e/LXDxBLiXBp8gsG7eVMAt?fbclid=IwAR2NA7IRRujeWYJ_-ykRbf…> [image: Documentary screening “Isarelism” (1).png]
