sudoroom projector during meetings: bringing the world to SudoRoom

by Romy Ilano

Hey I had an idea... during meetings, when not using the projector for powerpoint-y stuff, why not project walk throughs and non-narrated videos from around the world? Especially anything non narrated, with atmospheric sound It would be a way to bring the world "Closer to SudoRoom" and realize we are part of a larger orange besides the orange slice we currently live on Stuff is blowing up in Ukraine and Cambodia right now: - a walk through Guadalajara City in mexico during one of their bike days - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZZlr8dTcu8&feature=share&list=PLIXYZQ--adya… - riot police put down a peaceful protest - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHCNuyCYiX0 - uncommented walk through other hackerspaces in New York, Berlin, the world... What do you think? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

gnucash review

by J Clark

I saw that you're looking at bookkeeping software, including Gnucash. I've been using it for a good couple+ years and wanted to offer my thoughts. I love it generally. Pretty easy to use double-entry system, kind of like Quicken. Make sure you have your accounts set up to match your tax and reporting requirements, and so that anyone putting entries in will understand which account includes what kind of expenses. Easy to reconcile with bank statements. It's not a "connect to my bank" kind of system like Quicken used to be (and may still be) to update your account and reconcile all at once, but if you keep up with your entries, end of month is a breeze. Nice reporting once you figure out what you need to know and which menu choice does it. It's apparently really easy to screw things up and not notice. By the end of every year I have had to go back and re-balance at least one or two of my bank statements because some transaction disappeared somewhere and balancing against a statement becomes a problem (tho' prior balances have worked out fine). Because of that last point, I'm considering another option this year. j.

super focus club

by Romy Ilano

well my point wasn't that I would come to SudoRoom and do only working and not talk to anyone. I would like to have a super focus area so that we could isolate ourselves for short bursts, then come back like half-naked pearl divers coming up for air out of the ocean, our diving knives in our teeth, so that during breaks we could flop around and relax supine on the couches, just as divers would half-naked in the bright sun... before diving down into the depths again, the depths of hyperfocus, clad only in loinclothes, searching for pearls of wisdom. >> Message: 8 Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 17:13:56 -0800 From: Max Klein <isalix(a)gmail.com>1" I've come to accept that this is not possible at sudo. I tried the "I'm busy" sombrero, and the corner. Sometimes the problem is that I distract myself too. But I still want focus. Super focus, without the anonymity or expense of the coffee shop, and the separation from my house. The way I imagined the happening was renting one of the other rooms next to sudo and making "SUPER FOCUS CLUB". It'd be very minimally run, and cost to go in (I think paying for it would also help bring ones self to superfocus). So it'd be a spartan "coworking" space, which you can have as premium feature to sudo's freemium model. I kind of was thinking about trying this out for a month starting in April when I also plan to quit my job and shake my life like a purse and I was looking for keys. -notconfusing ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Sudo room trailer

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, Thanks to Mackenzie and her housemate, sudo room has a new trailer, already tagged and ready to roll. The hitch attaches to your rear triangle, near the rear wheel dropout, should fit on most bikes, even with some crud in the way. Please bring it back, don't leave it out or at your house, it's an invaluable resource for everyone to share. // Matt

media / outreach contacts?

by David Keenan

Im trying get ahold of existing media / political group contact lists to build Oakland Privacy Working Group's for our outreach purposes. Does sudo have, or know anyone sympathetic who has, such a list? Ie, mainstream and alternative print, tv, radio contacts, as well as at unions, leagues, or other political groups like democratic committes/clubs, etc? Such a lost could help sudo and baps' outreach as well - Sort of a compressed timeframe, so any help is hugely appreciated. Best, David

help: anti-DAC resources?

by David Keenan

Hey guys, a friend of mine who works for the city of Oakland and is meeting with the ACLU on DAC stuff (to fix this nightnare) has asked me for - a coherent, semi-formal argument against the DAC. - Language against specific aspects of the DAC like the shot spotters, facial recognition, etc. What they will be used for vs what they say they will be used for, etc. What resources do we have on hand that I can forward or write up for them? Thanks! David

Poem instead of attendance at tonight's meeting.

by Max Klein

Last week tunabanas and I went to represent sudo at Southern Exposure's grantees ceremony. (We hacked the acceptance speech, and showed artists they are probably hackers too.) It got me thinking, and I wrote this poem for sudo. After and before, all the silenced outcasts leave their trace, I myself learn electronics and genetics at sudo hackerspace. Well not quite, but then intentions are there An eager post-work brain doing what it can to care. And the movement's building, more people join us to rock-it, The latest anacho-syndicalists with a California nonprofit. When only a year ago we were crash test dummies, 2 grants in a row makes us flush with ca$h monies. -notconfusing

about to strike it outta the calendar >> Art making party (post art murmur) february 7

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I just had ankle surgery so I'm not sure if I can help organize the upcoming post Art Murmur Artmaking party. *I'm about to strike it out of the calendar... * *Is anyone interested in running the event on February 7 still? * Organizing it isn't a big problem, and there are still leftover art supplies (probably in the radio room) from the last event. - At the last event the work I had to do to get it going was minimal. - People just sort of showed up with their own supplies as well, it was very collaborative. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ArtMakingParty#February_2014 *February 7, 2014* https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/art-making-party/?instance_id=78850 *SudoRoom Art Making Party* *As the Oakland Art Mrumur ends, artmaking werewolves converge on the SudoRoom hackerspace to jam to music, make art, and collaborate in all sorts of crazy werewolf ways.* *If you are an artist, performer, genius of ways to set up collaborative artmaking stations, or have films and videos to show, contact us!

Quiet work area

by Romy Snowyla

Did anyone start a quiet work area at SudoRoom? This is ideally a table where people can focus, not be interrupted, or people near this area would be mindful & not talk too loudly. I think I witnessed something like this one afternoon. Noisebridge has a similar set up.. I like it a lot, I'd like to go to sudoroom and have a small mindful area free of people's phone conversations, or be interrupted by someone pitching their political movement or solar energy start up. (I've been interrupted constantly in the past this way and this is a constructive idea to solve that problem) To the folks who had a quiet mindfulness area: could we do this again? It's a good idea and in alignment with sudoroom values;: "a hackerspace is for hacking " Sent from my iPhone

by Max Klein

Do you want to be lavished with stress, anguish and minimal praise for the the thankless task of maintaining the sudo door "sudoor"? Well now is your chance. Imagine a your mirth at suddenly being responsible for a critical but poorly working access mechanism! Why isn't the door electric door opening working reliably? I don't know, but I can tell you how its supposed to work, which parts are the most reliable, and the full history. Then you can fix it. Requirements: None except patience, and I will teach you whatever relevant skills are necessary to make as poorly a working door as already exists. Contact me, notconfusing

any sounds people here make any libraries of sounds to be used for games?

by Romy Ilano

I'm working on a small SudoRoom game. Are there any sound libraries on the server / are there any sounds that anyone at SudoRoom has made that could be used in a small educational game? If it's on the SudoRoom server, can I easily access this from my home while I'm not at the space? [I'm currently disabled and unable to get there physically] ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Fwd: Documentary Filming at Sudo Room

by Jenny Ryan

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 TL;DR: The folks making the documentary on the commons have agreed to produce it under a CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license (yay!). They plan to shoot b-roll at the space on Tuesday and Friday, and do filming and interviews on Wednesday and Thursday. Please reach out to Bunker (number and email below) if you have questions or concerns, are interested in being interviewed, or have ideas for the film! - -jnny - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Documentary Filming at Sudo Room Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 14:18:13 -0800 From: Bunker Films <mail(a)bunkerfilms.com> To: Jenny Ryan <jenny(a)thepyre.org> Thanks so much Jenny. It would be great to e-mail everyone. Feel free to share my e-mail and number (215-971-0837) in the communication so anyone that wants to be interviewed, has ideas, or specifically doesn't want to be filmed can contact me. I'll create an account later today as well. I'm thinking Wednesday and Thursday will be the main days we come by and interview and film with tomorrow and Friday being possible b-roll days (days I just show up with a camera and film some of the behind the scenes activities). The things we want to focus on are: 1) What is the impact of declining freedom of communication? 2) How is Sudo working to improve things? (especially the mesh network) Thanks again, see you tomorrow or Wednesday. - -bunker On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 8:18 PM, Jenny Ryan <jenny(a)thepyre.org> wrote: > On Fri 17 Jan 2014 03:47:45 PM PST, Bunker Films wrote: >> OpenPGP: *Parts of the message have NOT been signed or >> encrypted* > >> Hi Jenny, > >> I responded to the wiki you made by saying "CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 > International" >> as the type of creative commons the director is looking at.
