I wonder if the Center has tried to contact OTX West? Their mission is
to supply the youth of Oakland with computers.
http://www.otxwest.org/
I've gone to them when trying to collect peripherals and computer cords
to send to Cuba, Bolivia & Haiti, they are nice folks. I haven't paid
them a visit since XP became unsupported, I wonder what OS they are
blowing on the machines these days.
As noted, the ACCRC is also a resource. They give away a lot of
machines, even if James Burgett can be a prickly codger. (Infomed-USA
used to also get hardware from him before we somehow pissed him off).
If we want to send machines to the Youth Center I think we should check
the machines out first (run smartmontools and memtest for HD & memory)
and blow Linux onto them (those old machines probably won't handle Win7
(even if we had licenses) and anyway we should be encouraging use of
open sores). I can help with the hardware analysis and have figured out
a good way to blow a standard customized Linux image onto old boxen.
http://redobackup.org/
On the issue of giving computers to deserving folks, the Pastors For
Peace are sending down their 25th convoy of material support to Cuba,
they are coming through in mid-July. This year they are trying to get
building materials and bike in particular. I'm planning on sending a
dozen or so computers. Contact me if you are interested in donating.

Once things have settled down a bit at the new location I'm going to
propose having a regular Linux InstallFest at the sudoroom, maybe
Fridays (so I can duck out and pick up my pizzas and bring some back to
the room) or perhaps after the Cryptoparties. I've got a collection of
installation ISOs on DVD/CDs and USB sticks
(http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
Multisystem is a good way to get multiple ISOs on to a single USB
stick). I can also set up a proxy to locally mirror deb archives for
faster downloads and updating. I use approx these days, but am also
familiar with apt-cacher. squid-deb-proxy sounds intriguing, as well,
and I wouldn't mind trying to set that up.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/3503/best-way-to-cache-apt-downloads-on-a-lan
I think it would be good to have a standard time when folks could come
to the room to get help with their open source issues from those of us
who have been riding the GNU for a while now.
Alright, time to get off of my vertical smile and see how many
receptacles I can find for the great enboxening.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Neon Leon, We have a stack of
computers at the space that we'd love to put in the hands of Oakland
kids - I am not sure what state they are in, but they are there and no
one has stated any interest in setting them up at the space. We also
have lots of peripherals that could be of use in a computer lab. Is
there someone with the school who can come and help sort through them
and find/put together working ones this weekend? We will be moving soon
so getting those computers over to the youth center in the next week
would be great. Cheers, Hol on Jun 20, 2014, Steve Berl

I propose a 10:30 a.m. start for the move Wednesday unless there will be
way more folks able and intending to come late afternoon, in which case
3 p.m.
Is there anyone moving wednesday who can't do 10:30?

Sorry for duplicate email. cell phone fail. I say we give our community a
few more hours to deliver free, liberated or DIY boxes. Then if we aren't
satisfied by around 6pm i will personally drive to home despot and front
the cost.
Since Landlord is throwing a "rave" tonight, packing in earnest starts
tomorrow, and we need boxes, etc.
First, please help pack tomorrow or sunday. Being packed is vital for an
easy, smooth move.
Second, we need packing supplies. Were I Czar, (besides wanting to hang
myself for parasiting on the people) I'd get the following ~$100 of
supplies from Home Depot today or tonight:
100 small (16x12x12) boxes
10 medium(17x18x16) boxes
2 6-packs of packing tape
black magic markers
I'm assuming sudo has a few box knives or scissors, and that we can get
newspaper for fill easily enough..
Also, i have pallet wrap, if needed, on a reimbursement basis.
Also, for those who would rather reuse, etc.: BRING US YOUR BOXES,
please! (Excuse the hollering.)
Third, we should buy boxes because:
Unused extra Home Depot boxes can be returned. Maybe folks will bring
many good boxes, but back-up is nice, and we could promise not to be
wasteful.
That said, I'm not Czar. How does one get that purchase okayed? How does
one get reimbursed cash (as I'm rather illiquid at the moment)?

It seems that DNS inside the sudo network is not working. However manually
setting your DNS to something like 8.8.8.8 fixes this issue.
I'm not sure where this problem is stemming from, hopefully somebody else
can troublshoot better than I.

Hi Sudoers,
Is there any place to post free stuff for sudo people?
I have a X200 Thinkpad laptop base I'd be happy to pass along to anybody
with a compatible laptop -- I think the X61 Thinkpad series is what it's
for. DVD/CDRW drive included.
But in general, if I have techy stuff to give away -- is there a place I
can post it where people will see? I looked on the wiki, but couldn't find
anything like that...shall I start a page? Would people use it?

Hey all,
At last might's meeting we discussed the prospect of starting a Reboot Fund
to raise money to cover the costs of the move.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Reboot/Fund
I started a spreadsheet to come up with the realistic costs and ultimately
a number to fund-raise:
https://ethercalc.org/sudoreboot
Please add to it and discuss.

Just a reminder the landlord is hosting another rave in the common
area tomorrow night (June 20). We should probably clean up the common
area beforehand. I will try and be there tomorrow morning to help with
that.
Hey all,
We discussed some details for a move-out, this is a schedule that seems to

==Move Out==
Schedule:

* 6/27 - 6/29 : Clean-up, polish! (Fri - Sun)
* 6/30 : LAST DAY @ 2141 Broadway (Mon)

We had something wonderful going with Sudo Kids. iirc, people from
Hayward were actually driving up here for it. I hope very much that we
can reboot this at our new space.
Vicky has been talking to the OUSD after school program. Oakland
International school is a few blocks from the omni.
I was going to do another library teenzone event this month but burned
out with Omni stuff. TBA.
With respect to the diversity of human kinship structure, I would much
prefer to frame this as accessibility for all ages, rather than
"families vs singles".
Dear All,
As many of you know I'll be speaking at the Techonomy Bio conference on
participatory biology and I just spoke with David the CEO of Techonomy and
we discussed ensuring that the entire biohacker/hacker community is able to
attend regardless of financial means.
http://techonomy.com/conf/bio/
David was very generous in extending an invitation to everyone in the
community to ensure affordability wasn't an issue, if you'd like to attend
please email Tim (cc'd in this email) and David directly and they'll ensure
that the cost of attendance isn't an issue for anyone who would like to
join from the community.
Looking forward to seeing many of you today and onwards with the future,
hacking and collaboration :)
All the best,
Ryan

I got a report that the sudo door stepper motor is making noises but not
turning anything.
Sounds like a bad connection somewhere.
I'm out of town for a bit. Maybe someone else can take a look at it?

I left my power adapter on the main table inside sudoroom. Can someone who
is there stash it somewhere (and let me know where) so I can pick it up in
the morning? It's a small hp laptop adapter.
Thanks!
In this last East bay express there was an article "Hacking local in
Hayward" about a new hackerspaces Hayhackers. The article emphasizes their
young education aspects. Then a quote from Christina Depulta on other East
bay hackerspaces :
"they're either young singles or techies and software engineers or mothers
with children. We wanted to have a space for everybody. "
Do you think this is a valid rubric for a hackerspace's demographic, and
does sudo fit into one category? I wonder if having that kind of all
inclusive space is even a fantasy holy grail?
Just pondering the current state of our sudo-populous as we've now come to
be a reference point for new hackerspaces to judge themselves by.

Hi all,
Just wanted to remind people that there will be a cryptoparty tomorrow
at 2. While some of our regulars are out of town, we have a number of
new and qualified additions to our community, and some definite interest
in activism-focused crypto practices. This is for people of all levels
of comfort with tech and crypto tools - we'll help you put whatever you
want on your machines, as well as theoretical best practices and
vulnerabilities
Happy hacking,
S
