I added this to our meeting agenda on a whim. Most of the discussion was me being bitter about their co-option of language. Hol had the quote of the night: "they're ctrl-v-ing the hell out of us", referring to the Kopimist cut-and-paste mantra. I'd always been skeptical of them. Their fundraiser got 100k in one night, and they charge $400/month for their co-working space. They have paid positions, and their leadership appears hierarchical and opaque. For example, there is no mailing list, only a glitzy "newsletter". While I was inspired by their hosting Oakland Data Day, I felt most of the value came from volunteer attendees. In other words, where is that money going? This ridiculous video didn't help me take the "impact hub" concept seriously: http://vimeo.com/35373512 Put simply, Sudoroom is a grassroots organization and always will be. Our ultimate goal is to serve our communities. I believe the HUB's ultimate goal is to extract rent from our communities. After reading on Oakland Wiki yesterday that their building is owned by Signature, the same developers behind Brooklyn Basin, I believe all hypothetical good faith I had in that project has vanished. It's marketing, marketing, marketing. You could argue the HUB is not their landlord, but then why are they naming their new building complex "The Hive"? It turns out this "hive" also includes the 5 story condo building a block from Sudo that has literally had a "now selling" sign since we moved in two years ago. This is absolutely a collaboration between speculators and gentrifiers in my mind, and I think it is extremely gross and fucked up. To be honest, I think we'd be very wise as an organization to explicitly distance ourselves from these kinds of projects.

Xavier's Ban.

by Xavier Peniche

I have no problem being Banned out of the Sudo Room. This is Because I have undergone a sever economic depression that has left of my liberalist plans in queue. Since I am unable to launch a political platform to present my liberation, as a leader of a movement beyond precedent, I rather wait until I can get my career back in track, save enough resources, open a few businesses, and do such. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make my dreams come true. I believe this ban is about me hanging on the skinny rope of my impoverished persona FOR TOO LONG. I have never really done anything for the Sudo Room. Except for scrap some e-waste. But I always eat, drink, converse, make friends, make art, bring friends, use & work on computers. And I am very thankful to had such experiences in my life. This is not a good bye, just a "see ya later". I am really motivated to turn my act around, make some money, and put it where my dreams are living, dying perhaps, existing in vacuum, underground, isolated. At this point I don't care to defend my self against Eliot anymore. Making Marc Juul, and Yardena feel threatened is definitively past my original intentions. Like I said, the environment is turning me into a person I don't want to be. I opened a can of worms with Eliot, and I end up receiving all of its composite matter first hand. I do not ever want to experience that ever again in my life. My friend told me not to. And I did. It's my fault, but everything happens for a reason. When random Reasons are seen as holly water in the pouring rain, One can save the water for the dry weather, and be thankful, For something good came out a random fault. Who makes the clouds go round? BE SAFE.

If you have a list you're on that this information is appropriate for, please send it! thanks, Rachel McConnell --- Starting April 5, Ace Monster Toys Hackerspace in Oakland is pleased to host a month of design courses and workshops with Régis Lemberthe of A&Ré Design. Originally trained as an industrial designer, Régis graduated with his Master's Degree in Humanitarian Design And Sustainable Living before moving to Berlin and getting involved in the local maker community. He now presents several different workshops there, in parallel with his activities as part of A&Ré Design Studio. From his description of the Design Tour (http://2014.design-tour.org): "One of the most appropriate and exciting answers to mass production and consumption, the maker movement has in the last years gained considerable recognition. Fab labs and hacker spaces are being created in every major city, offering those familiar with low-scale productions techniques access to adequate machinery, as well as training for everyone else. Skill sharing in fab labs is based on the know-how and experience of artists, designers, makers, programmers and hackers committed to making production accessible to all. Yet, while some techniques are widely spread, others sadly remain more confidential. After a few years spent facilitating events at Betahaus Berlin, French designer Régis Lemberthe goes on tour - a series of craft workshops and social+collaborative design courses hosted in maker spaces of various different cities - lasting for a month, wherever interest and facilities are. It has started in 2013 in Betahaus Berlin and will continue in early 2014 in the US, Canada and London before proceeding towards south-east Asia.

Not a lot seems to be happening in the Bay Area for it, but I thought folks might find this interesting: Saturday is the 10th anniversary celebration for Arduino (wow, it's been that long?), http://day.arduino.cc/ Also, a $3, $6, $9 flash sale on boards (allowing backorders) if anyone is looking to stock up! https://www.sparkfun.com/arduinoday ~ dana

Oakland Wiki meeting special guests! (TONIGHT)

by Vicky Knox

Hi everyone! This is a reminder that we will be having our bimonthly (as in twice a month) meeting tonight at Sudo Room at 7pm. We will be graced by the presense of two amazing local orgs: - *Anti-Eviction Mapping Project: *This activist mapping group has been doing work to visualize and collect stories around gentrification and displacement in San Francisco. They are looking to expand their work into the east bay, and are coming to talk with us about how LocalWiki can be used as a shared storytelling platform around experiences of eviction and displacement and a resource center for tenants. - *The Bay Area Video Coalition*: This media workers advocacy nonprofit is looking at LocalWiki as a place to house some of their archival media. See you tonight! Vicky

If our tenancies survive for another rave like this I think we should try harder to coordinate the cleanup scheduling and press for it to happen earlier in the week on one of our less busy nights, and ideally earlier in the day as well.

hack money out of politics – this Sat/Sun in SF

by Danny Spitzberg

Hi all, this weekend, several dozen folks – and you? – are assembling to "hack money out of politics. I'm helping organize and raise funds for the event http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hack-for-democracy-registration-10711042015 (discussion flowing here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7438022). Rootstrikers, Move to Amend, The Sunlight Foundation, Maplight, and other organizations inspired and are partly involved with this newly-formed, nonpartisan initiative. Personally, I'm eager to see us go deeper than the majority of civic hacking with real and consequential political action. Your inspiration and participation can shape the initiatives and the future of this work! Sign up or join the waiting list. Spots are opening up Thursday night! Ping me with questions or proposals – especially for pitches or prize ideas. warmly, Danny

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Mesh] So, about those Meraki Sparky boards

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Thanks to this hack, we should be able to use a noisebridge-donated lot of ~200 sparky routers for https://peoplesopen.net/ Cheers! // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Adrian Chadd" <adrian.chadd(a)gmail.com> To: "mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [Mesh] So, about those Meraki Sparky boards Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2014 18:34 A little drinking at Noisebridge and some poking from JC got me thinking about the Sparky boards. So I came up to Sudo and worked with Marc to figure it out. The TL;DR version: It's an AR2317 and you have a watchdog timer, but it doesn't actually reset the unit. It just posts an interrupt. It turns out GPIO6 is the "pat to stop it resetting" line. So, the details: I first did "help" at the redboot prompt. I found "bdshow", which is the "Atheros board info."

Watchdog GPIO pin 6? What's that? After manually checking out the watchdog registers via 'x', we discovered that it would count down to 0 and not reset. So, hm. Maybe the GPIO 6 wire is actually the right thing to pat. And yes, the board doesn't reset when you pat GPIO 6.

The long-term blocker for this was insurance, which Matt finally bought for us a month or two ago. Last I heard, he'd notified Laurie of the insurance and we're still waiting on a response from her. It might help to poke our landlords about it again.

Head's up! Carpet-cleaning 3:30pm Thu (tomoro)

by David Keenan

The common area and some other rooms are to be carpet-cleaned tomorrow starting at 3:30. I'm not sure where they'll start or how long it will take, but George has asked for our help in moving furniture about. He will also be cleaning one of the empty rooms and the roof starting 630. I know Thursdays are a big day for us and this is not much notice, but i am glad carpets are getting cleaned. Feel like we should scotchguard the whole place.. "just so you know the carpet cleaners come at 3 30 thurs to do the upstairs at Sean's expense and Sean's group 3 helpers are coming thursday to vacuum the yellow room and help me clean the roof at about 6 30. {...} they may be asked to move around, Damien from spotless is very professional and the machines are not too loud. If anybody could help with moving furniture in a way that it ends up located in a suitable location for your meetings and classes and the dirty parts of the carpet are cleaned"

Free Culture and Social Justice (CC Salon San Francisco) this Thurs at 6pm

by Matthew Senate

https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/free-culture-and-social-justice-cc-salon-i… I plan to attend, I especially want to discuss with free culture folks a notion I have been pondering for some time now. It is one thing to employ a license that sets clear and legally-robust terms for the re-purposing of creative content covered under copyright. It is another to pursue, in any given endeavor, the proliferation of knowledge, in all its formats and expressions, and not to make that knowledge scarce, especially as a source of benefits (e.g. income). I am getting the feeling that there is something essential in this thought, that articulates a notion (a side) of the moral basis of free (as in freedom) and openness that is very practical, and critical. I'd like to discuss this with more folks, perhaps at this event on Thursday. Hack on. // Matt

Sudo what- keeping mushrooms and stuff.

by Eddie Che

Hey there, do you guys want to try keeping some of these super simple waste materials rapidly replicating food self-sufficiency starters in your space derr? They would all fit in the little party greenhouse which may or may not still be currently occupying the windowsill, and you could give all the anon strikers dey nutrients. Profile is, like this: They will fit in the area that the current party box occupies, and be less than an iota of money. LOL I give near complete nutrition to hackers, freedom lovers, nearly any alt-civ land project and astronauts. :D The oyster mushrooms eat (preferably sterilized) cardoard, paper, coffee grounds, and straw, as well as even other things like denim fabric and toilet paper rolls (<3), the spirulina algaes eat baking soda saltwater that's more alkaline than any other bacteria and air, so it's not like there's really any competition there they'll survive even in less sterile conditions. They ship in jars but like bigger spaces or, more jars. If this was a sudo room dating email, these would be your new pets. ..they do but play a role in the plan ^.^ <3! -- Eddie Che on all social networks

Anyone know of available housing/rooom

by Liberty Madison

THE SITUATION: The amazing Piedmont home I am in is being sold in a messy divorce. The owner is wonderful,however her divorce is now calling for her to sell her million dollar home so her husband can be paid his half of the equity. When I first moved in it seemed the divorce was dragging but I never thought he would force her and his 9 year old daughter out of this wonderful Piedmont neighborhood! I have never met him (they were divorcing before I arrived) but I will say I am not fond of this. So because of this and this reason ONLY I am now thrust on SF Bay Area housing market. I just found this out YESTERDAY and I have to MOVE BY APRIL 1 (WTW!) A week! ANYWAY Wanted to tap the Sudo Network to see if anyone knew of a room/space/etc or knew someone who knew someone who know who I need to know! Reply and I can send you info about me A little insight I AM the ideal Human Flatmate! I love making smoothies, I heart cupcakes, love cooking vegan/vegetarian meals, love animals, non smoker, non drinker, responsible, and I have tons of cool FREE perks to events! (The events are only exciting if you are into tech/nerd/game stuff otherwise just control x that last part) If you can reach out to your networks! I would appreciate any direction or hacking on this! Thanks Sudoers libertymadison(a)gmail.com 415.937.3785
