Our landlord has informed us that he's having his birthday party in the common area the night of Sunday September 15th. There is a raw food event scheduled for 3-5, and the party will start setting up soon after. It sounds like it will be a fancy catered affair. He's asked us to have the room as clean as possible beforehand - including finding temporary places for a lot of the furniture and things that usually live out there. He was not aware of other events scheduled for that night but I think bioinformatics is. Possibly others. We'll have to keep events inside Sudoroom and the Public School, or negotiate use of the vacant rooms.

another awesome party post

by Romy Ilano

i was just so blown away at the crypto party. all these smart hackers sticking it to "the man." i'm just so impressed at how passionate everyone is. why i was there and the passion just showed. people were going to go hiking in the sierras. they were going to fly to cuba. sudoroom is such a brilliant place full of smart people. wow, the passion just dazzles me. i am so impressed at all the after parties, and how truly full of passion and genuine people are. i am just so lucky to be part of sudoroom and all the smart people. i will just dive into making promotional comics to teach small children how to use 3d printers now. viva sudoroom!

After the party comes tha AFTA-Party!

by Eddie Che

Hi guys! So I just got into oakland and was treated with a big bag of trash outside the doorway. Excellent! Given the previous email I sent, a great time to test the theory. So going through it made this AWESOME thing, which is a miniature greenhouse (it's there, plant something in it) and gonna be sweet if hemp goes in. Do you think it's a good idea, that we could when we have a party have an "afterparty" in the morning where we put on a bunch of music and hack stuff or upcycle it, recycle it, and see how little we can get the stuff reduced to? (there's really not any such thing as trash (except WalMart), think cardboard, plastic bag, plastic, metal, aluminum, etC!) re negative value, some guy I guess actually got pretty emotional about it. So I hacked his message into the meme. <3 http://twitpic.com/dbh9zy So enjoy, and here's a video. Because I'm at the sudo room and can't get a working wifi+ sound (can we.. nvm), you don't get the one with nudity in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcaGJ94HyYc -- Eddie Che https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:EM_Che

Our Time Lapse prototype

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, There was a link sent to the Nerds for Nature email list about using community photographs to collect data for natural spaces, parks, etc. You set up a single station with a guide for your camera, let folks take photographs with any device, gather them up, then use a photo stitcher to put together a timelapse. I think this is an excellent way to document moments at sudo negotiated by the consent of individuals and through human action, rather than a webcam and automated constant stream. Please leave the pedestal in its current position, there is tape on the floor so you can replace it if necessary. Thanks! // Matt

Dumpster diving opportunity

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, Not to add to the clutter at sudoroom, but I'd just like to point out that the big apartment building in Alameda that I've been living in will be closing down this weekend, and there might be some goodies to be found for th eenterprising dumpster diver. There's at least another dozen households that will need to move out during these last few days, and the recycling containers around the back are already overflowing. There's a set of nice filing cabinets sitting near the trash, and one of the recycling containers seems to have some chairs in it as well. As these last stragglers move out (I hear they've got all three elevators scheduled for moving companies from now until Saturday), I would expect a lot more stuff to appear. Might be worth keeping an eye on... Marina View Towers, 1100 Pacific Marina, Alameda<https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Marina+View+Towers,+1100+Pacific+Marina,+Ala…> Trash and recycling containers are around the back of the building and are unlocked. There is a security car that does the rounds very sporadically. Good hunting! Patrik

problem/solution

by rusty lindgren

Hey Guys, I feel like we have a problem and I want to put out there, along with what I think is a really reasonable and well thought out solution. *Problem: * In my opinion there is way too much stuff at SudoRoom, and it's just unfocused and messy. I think it's a roadblock to membership. We aren't equipped to deal with this much stuff, and we don't have room for people to be in the space. *Solution(s): * * * One solution is to have a party where we donate, recycle, and throw out things we don't need, in order to make room for a new design of the space that accomodates more members and makes the space more usable. As part of that we could hand out green stickers to put on things we want to keep, and if people put stickers on things, then we can keep them. We could also hand out a limited amount of red stickers of things that people want to see leave the space, and we could bring up those items at a meeting. We could pool resources to pay for a dumpster, and uhaul truck. Obviously, throwing things away would be a last resort, and donating would be preferred. I'm open to other solutions, but this is where I have gotten with other members so far. Fire away! Rusty

Raman making for monday night - The Public School's Summer School Food Night

by Raymond Lai

Hey Sudoers, Call me cuckoo but I want to make ramen noodles for Public School's monday night dinner. It's the start of their Summer School. I am wondering if anyone has a kitchen aide or other mixer with a dough hook? Also I need a pasta maker since hand pulled noodles might be a bit beyond my skill given the time frame. RAMEN!!!

Fwd: Circuit Bending for Music by Sudo Room x RPSC x MCO?

by Jenny Ryan

Any circuit benders in the house? This looks like fun! Forwarded from info(a)sudoroom.org: --------------- Hey all! Ara here from Rock Paper Scissors Collective! I hope you're enjoying the sandwich board; we're loving the lil Netbook over here! On behalf of the upcoming Mission Creek Oakland Music and Arts Festival ( www.mcofest.org), organizer Kiyomi Tanouye and I were thinking to include fellow local community organizations to publicize during the MCO campaign of opportunities to learn methods of making art and music. The festival is throughout the month of September, publicized and sponsored by the East Bay Express. If any of the talented and knowledgeable at Sudo Room were interested in hosting or coming over to RPSC to teach circuit bending tricks, we'd be happy to plug Sudo Room into the campaign! The projected date of the workshop is Sunday, September 8th. Hope you hear from you all soon! --Ara [ara(a)rpscollective.org] Gallery/Events Director

Elcano: An Open Source Ultralight Automated Vehicle

by Jenny Ryan

Forwarded from info@sudoroom.org:* * *--------------------- Automation is gathering momentum, but implementation may shortchange<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> society<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> . * Vehicle automation is too important to leave to the big companies, so Jigsaw Renaissance <http://www.jigsawrenaissance.org/> is putting together a low-cost electronics and software kit that will open selfdrive for DIY experimentation. All contributions are appreciated. Can you help us out either financially or technically? The RocketHub crowdfunding campaign lasts until Monday, August 30, so we have less than 2 weeks for our Popular Science #Crowdgrant<http://www.rockethub.com/projects/partner/popularscience> to fund production of printed circuit boards: http://bit.ly/DIYRobotKits <http://www.rockethub.com/projects/28761-elcano-open-source-autonomous-vehic…> We are working on implementing our kit into a self-driving vehicle prototype that includes the vehicle, electronics, servos and actuators. One of the goal is to keep the cost down to under $5,000. Our kit will also fit on an RC car, which saves $2,000 on vehicle cost and $500 on actuators. The prototype is a drive-by-wire recumbent tricycle: legally a bicycle, so no hassle with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). And yes, all of our work is open source including the softwares and the electronics schematics. We’re extremely excited about the release of our kits and hope you can help us spread the word. A sustained presence online will propel us well past our intended goal. Please forward this link. Support the project by backing it, tweeting about it (follow our @ElcanoProject<https://twitter.com/ElcanoProject> twitter account), and even blogging about it. We want our platform to be as robust as possible, so your feedback would be awesome. We're happy to answer any questions people might have. The more questions you ask, the better our answers can be! You can look at the current iteration on www.elcanoproject.org. We recently showed our first vehicle at the Stanford workshop on road vehicle automation (http://www.vehicleautomation.org). A second vehicle is being assembled at the University of Washington, Bothell, and will be the focus of a student project: http://blogs.uw.edu/cssuwb/projects/elcano2/ Our electronics system runs on Arduino microprocessors robustly mounted on custom printed circuit boards. We have already built the low level control module, which isolates vehicle specific functions. We are working on the high level module, which combines three separate processors to find current location, plot a path to the destination, and feed the next path segment (avoiding obstacles) to lowlevel control. We also have a design for a module of five sonar range finders. Future modules will handle the operator interface and connect to a PC based simulator. You are welcome to subscribe to the project update: http://fb.me/6qUFeMLZN Feel free to contact us at info(a)ElcanoProject.org with any questions or just to say hello. Thank you!

Interested in working with teens?

by Jenny Ryan

Hey Sudoers! We've had a surge of young people coming by the space who're learning to program (including interest in collaboration from the Oakland Public Library TeenZones, below), and it would be awesome to start a youth programming meetup. Anyone interested in working with teens and teaching programming? Most likely they would self-organize and help each other learn, so it would really be more a matter of holding the space, setting up some communication channels and showing up on a regular basis :) Alt ideas for collaboration welcome and encouraged! Cheers, Jenny * --- forwarded message --- * Wed Aug 07 2013 09:23:17 AM PDT from "Austin, Jeanie" < JAustin(a)oaklandlibrary.org> Subject: Possible collaboration with Oakland Public Library Teen Zones? Hello - I am a teen librarian with the Oakland Public library. We've recently had some discussions around makerspaces and teen programming. Would anyone associated with sudoroom be interested in providing some programs or meeting to discuss ways that there can be a collaboration between the TeenZones and sudoroom? Thank you for your time, Jeanie Austin Teen Librarian Asian Branch Oakland Public Library
