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.
So i just signed up for this class on coursea:
https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto
It starts september 9th, but if anyone else signed up or wanted to sign up,
we could have a weekly study night to help each other.
I always study better with others, so if you're down, let me know!
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!
it was so awesome to see so many good things at the sudoroom crypto party
saturday night. i dropped by and was really impressed. it is so cool to see
all these smart people taking things into their own hands.
viva sudoroom!
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

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.

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!

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!

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
Purged all the spammy accounts. May have purged yours by accident as well.
Please let me know if you'd like access to sudoroom.org, especially to post
to events calendar and blog.

Sudoers,
Does anyone know the process and equipment needed to do music mashing? I'd really like to learn what it takes--likely more than just Audacity, right? Is there a Today I learned... not yet on the calendar?
Thanks.

Trying to have regular Sunday dinners, y'all are welcome to join, planning to come from the art show at sudo, around 7pm. My place is 359 Bellevue Ave, Oakland. My number is 818-599-0567.
Potluck-ish, see you, sudoers!

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!!!

Any circuit benders in the house? This looks like fun!

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!

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

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,

Hey Sudoers
I know that some of you are currently looking for new places to live.
I'm currently searching as well, and I love the idea of forming a sudo
house starting next month. Shoot me a message if that interests you and
we can go from there.
Best,
Jonathan
