Sudo-ers-
The next Oakland Nights...Live! that we are hosting, on November 9th, is
going to have a different format and we were wondering if anyone from Sudo
Room would like to be involved. It is our 2nd birthday and we're going to
have a series of installations / tables / interesting places around the
room for people to visit and interact with rather than a proper show. Would
anyone be interested in doing a fun, interactive activity? Either
presenting something that you are working on or …
[View More]something else, either like
3D-printing, or making ice-cream, or bio-hacking, or wiki-ing, or any
projects?
I can give you more info to anyone who is interested. Thanks!

Stacy Doris Memorial Poetry Award
Fri, 09/27/2013 - 09:43
*Fourteen Hills* is proud to announce the inaugural *Stacy Doris Memorial
Poetry Award*. Guest judge is poet Chet Wiener. The winning poet will
receive *$500* and publication in the Spring 2014 issue of *Fourteen Hills*.
There is no submission fee. Poems not chosen for the award will be
considered for publication in *Fourteen Hills*.
Stacy Doris<http://www.…
[View More]poetryfoundation.org/harriet/2012/02/with-respect-stacy-doris-19…>
was
an Associate Professor in San Francisco State University’s Creative Writing
Department <http://creativewriting.sfsu.edu/>, where she taught for ten
years. Her work as a translator and a poet is widely recognized, and her
most recent posthumous collection, *Fledge: A Phenomenology of
Spirit<http://jacket2.org/reviews/longer-stay>
*, which poet Maxine Chernoff has referred to as “a miracle of
attentiveness,” is available from Nightboat Books.
Her other books include *Paramour *(Krupskaya, 2000), *The Cake Part*, *Knot
* (University of Georgia Press, 2006), *Cheerleader’s Guide to the World:
Council Book* (Roof Books, 2006), *Conference* (Potes & Poets, 2001), *Une
Année à New York avec Chester*(P.O.L., 2000), *La vie de Chester Steven
Wiener ecrite par sa femme* (P.O.L., 1998), and *Kildare* (Segue

She was also a translator, known for her work with contemporary French
poetry. She co-edited two anthologies, *Twenty One New (to North America)
French Writers* (Raddle Moon, 1997) and *Violence of the White Page* (with
Emmanuel Hocquard, Tyuonyi, 1991).
Doris was always creating new worlds with her unexpected poetics. Following
upon that spirit of creative invention and inventive creation; engaging wit
and ingenious playfulness; discovery in construction; and radical
appropriations based on classical forms, pastiche, and love:
the Stacy Doris Memorial Poetry Award will be given for a poem with a *truly
inventive spirit*.

*Dear All, companions and friends *
I am Sergio , an Italian activist - artist , now in California for an
artist residency program ( a program of artistic research ) .
I'd like to share with you the idea of my next art project that i'll like
activate .
All my artistic research is aimed at highlighting the social, political and
econoniche . The way I work is a participatory approach , I'm interested in
the creative process to include community , political activists, groups '
marginal , local …
[View More]populations.
My porssimo project is aimed at realizing a video store on the city of
Detroit , a city that for several deceni has been the symbol of capitalism,
Fordism and unbridled industrialization .
I'd like to extend the project through this email list .
For the realization of the archive, which will then be placed online will
be well accepted video in any format, any length , any size, any quality
and resolution of images and audio, video, amateur and professional .
Below I attach the statement of my artistic research , the link where you
can find some of my work and do not hesitate to contact me for any
information.
My email is: utopiaracanati(a)gmail.com
I apologize for my English , but I trust in the understanding of the
content, and you will be very happy to realize this project with all of you
.
*STATEMENT :*
The focus of my work relies on my interest in the social history of man
in relation to the urban political and architectural environments of human
life.
My work probes into those side-elements forgotten by history while focusing
on
the relationship between urban landscape and man’s societal development,
between history of architecture and man’s political behaviours.
I explore the consequences of the polarization of human existence between
forms of conformism and integration, between differentiation and
resistance.
I also make remarks on the relationship between individual and collective
memory in contingent history.
My work, which is intimate, albeit not a diary, escapes every narrative
purpose
to prioritize an analytical perspective meant to build a repository of
cultural
memory to be drawn upon in terms references and examples to be used in a
critical thinking and re-interpretation of present times.

Get some thin sheets of polyimide which have copper on one or both sides.
Polyimide is a yellow polymer with a high melting temperature and is
sometimes called Kapton. A common type of copper-coated polyimide is
DuPont "Pyralux" material.
Pyralux sheets come in many different varieties of polyimide thickness,
copper thickness and adhesive thickness (the "adhesive" is between the
copper and polyimide holding everything …
[View More]together.) Copper thickness is
given in oz per square foot, while adhesive and Kapton thickness is given
in mil (1 mil =0.001 inch).
Pyralux LF7062 (pictured) has 1/2 oz Cu, 1/2 mil adhesive and 1 mil
Kapton. This works OK but is a bit thin and crinkly for the printer to
handle.
LF9120 has 1 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 2 mil Kapton - seems to work best
in the printer
LF9210 has 2 oz Cu, 1 mil adhesive and 1 mil Kapton - stiffer, but works
OK
Other options are double sided copper ( a sandwich of Cu/Kapton/Cu held
together with adhesive) and a roughened surface, denoted by R at the end
of the part number.
The roughened sheets and double sided sheet work OK. However, Pyralux with
2 oz or thicker copper can be difficult to feed to the printer, especially
if there is copper on both sides.
See if you can get a free sample from DuPont. Occasionally, Pyralux sheets
turn up on eBay.
Cut the Pyralux sheets to 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 inches with scissors or a
knife. Avoid smudging the copper with fingerprints or oil, which can block
the etch solution later. To protect the printer, try to keep the edges
relatively flat and free of burrs.
For direct printing on the copper film, locate a solid-ink printer. These
are commonly confused with laser printers, but instead print melted wax.
Unlike most inkjets, the wax makes a good protective layer for copper
etching, and unlike laser printers, solid ink printers don't rely on
locally charging the paper surface, which could be troublesome when the
paper is replaced by a copper sheet.
Some models are Tektronix Phaser 840, 850, 860, and Xerox Phaser 8200,
8400, 8500, 8560, and 8860. You might find one in an office. Most Phaser
models are regular laser printers, so check under the hood for the solid
ink blocks (pictured) if you're not sure.
If you don't have access to a solid ink printer, the "toner transfer" iron
on method, using a laser-printed design, could replace this step.

Existence is Resistance has finally made it to the West Coast and after
screening our documentary "Hip Hop Is Bigger Than The Occupation"in Oakland
last weekend, we are screening again THIS MONDAY in San Francisco.
*View Trailer: http://youtu.be/PGvP0OREI2E*
*Facebook Event Page:
https://www.facebook.com/events/594600013935599/?source=1*
Hip Hop is Bigger than the Occupation is a documentary about a ten day
journey of artists traveling through Palestine, teaching and performing
nonviolent resistance through the arts. The tour included M1 of Dead Prez,
Shadia Mansour, Marcel Cartier, Mazzi of Soul Purpose, DJ Vega Benetton,
Lowkey, Jody McIntyre and Trinidad, Brandon and Lavie from the South West
Youth Collaborative/University of Hip Hop Chicago.
Staying in the heart of Balata Refugee Camp at the Yafa Cultural Center in
Nablus the group witnesses night raids, toured places like Hebron where
there are roads for the Arabs and roads for the Jews, they meet families of
shaheeds as well as young Palestinians who have been jailed, shot and
humiliated. The group visits Bi’lin where they get shot at and tear gassed
and experience first hand what it felt like living under occupation.

Hey all, we reached consensus on this tonight:
- Categories of events we strongly discourage:
- events not open to the public (already a long established policy)
- events sponsored by or held by arms manufacturers or defense industry
- possible other categories if they arise - list acknowledged as
incomplete
- There won't be extra infrastructure for vetting events but these
values will be applied do-o-cratically by the community. To help with this,
we …
[View More]strongly encourage tags to be used on the mailing list:
- [event] for events
- [!] for urgent or potentially controversial things
Additionally, do-ocratically, here are some relevant action items:
- Phone trees - notification of email only.
- Calls / Texts you? - Tom :D
- Contacts for awesome event collaboration, for feedback on last-minute
events
- Timon, Marc, Tom, Matt
[View Less]
There will be an event in the common area this coming Saturday
(10/26), starting at 9am and going all day. It appears to involve
electronic music. They are renting the space directly from George,
including the big common room and all the vacant side rooms. George is
asking us to make sure the space is clean and cleared out before they
begin, ideally the night before.

Hi Sudo Room,
I am researcher from the University of Oxford working on the Humanitarian
Innovation Project. I am in SF for a week learning what I can on …
[View More]how
innovation and community spaces here in SF work and support the skills and
innovation of the local community. I am taking this learning back for
reflection in the humanitarian world and our work on conceptualising an
innovation centre for refguees in Uganda.
I am going to be in Oakland for the East Bay Mini Maker Faire tomorrow and
wondered if it would be possible for me to pop in to say hi and see what
you're up at some point during the day (perhaps before or after the faire).
I noticed you do have some events running tomorrow, but do you stay open
past 5pm?
