impressed

by Romy Ilano

Wow! I'm pretty impressed that someone walked the plank and took financial risk to get SudoRoom going. That's a lot of trust ... especially for things as tumultuous and socially wacky as non heirarchical collectives. first penguins, you are honored!

Statistics through Doodles this Saturday at 2 pm

by Thomas Levine

As documented on the wiki, I'm going to teach statistics through doodles. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_20:_Statistics_through_doodl… With the help of some doodles on paper (or possibly the floor), I'll will explain the purpose and meaning of various measures of the relationships between different variables (specifically covariance, variance, correlation and least-squares regression). This class assumes literally no knowledge of math, not even basic arithmetic. But I'll try to skip things that people already know as not to bore everyone. For the symbolically inclined, I can relate the doodles to the symbols you might have seen in an introductory statistics course. I've done this a few times, so I have enough of a mental script that I'd like to video it and put it on the website. I'll bring a camera. It would be awesome if someone could bring a tripod or if someone held my camera for part of the session. Or we could make a tripod-alternative out of some wood, a small tripod from the closet and some duct tape. Tom

Trans* Hackathon

by Rabbit

There's a hackathon happening in Oakland to build tools that are helpful to transgender people Apply by August 2 Happens on Sept 13-15 http://transhack.org/ "WHY A HACKATHON FOCUSED ON THE TRANS COMMUNITY? Research shows that transgender people are unemployed at 2x the national rate–4x for transgender people of color; have incomes of less than $10,00 a year; experience homelessness at 2x the rate of non-trans people; and suffer overwhelming discrimination when it comes to accessing adequate healthcare and legal services. This problem not only affects transgender adults but trans and gender nonconforming youth as well. A necessary step in addressing anti-transgender bias is to create technology that socially empowers transgender individuals. Imagine if there existed a mobile phone app that helps individuals find trans friendly doctors or an app that profiles safe space job opportunities for trans people across the country? Trans*H4CK is a space in which to turn these possibilities into reality."

Sudoroom Street camera

by William Budington

Context: This comes in the wake of George wanting to clear out the iMac in the entrance, saying it looks unprofessional and is in the way. I figured the unused workstation tower (thin) is somewhat more out of the way, and installed software on it to stream the street. Thanks to Jenny for helping me do documentation, which I hate doing. ------------------------------------- The downstairs thin tower is now streaming video of the street. You can find out its IP address by listening via the audio out of the machine. Every 60 seconds it transmits its IP address via text-to-speech! Right now, that address is 192.168.1.159. If you go to 192.168.1.159:8080 from within the space on your web browser, and click Stream, you can now see the street Additionally, this is accessible via VLC, at the network url: http://192.168.1.159:8080/?action=stream *Specifications:* *MJPG_Streamer *Random headless tower *Random webcam found in the space *Next Steps:* *Set up recording on one of the local servers in the space *Most likely software candidate for recording is ZoneMinder, which can define a remote source for recording.

Fwd: I School Announces Master of Information and Data Science

by Troy Massey

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: AnnaLee Saxenian <news(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Date: Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 10:58 AM Subject: I School Announces Master of Information and Data Science To: ecoeconomist11(a)gmail.com Email not displaying correctly? View webpage<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=G190DvpYR9pDeeRiZ9nQmA> [image: Berkeley School of Information] [image: datascience@berkeley] *UC Berkeley School of Information launches Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree* Dear Alumni and Friends of the I School, I am thrilled to share the news that the School of Information is launching a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree with the first cohort of students starting in January 2014. This will be the country’s first fully online Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS)<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=jgDIsKHXfN45z35djKXw-Q>program. The I School faculty developed this new degree in response to the rapidly growing need for well-trained professionals who can organize, analyze, and interpret the deluge of often messy and unorganized data now available from the web, sensor networks, mobile devices, and elsewhere — often referred to as “big data.” The MIDS is a rigorous 27-unit graduate degree aimed at the working professional. It will combine live, face-to-face classes with interactive, online course work that can be accessed from anywhere. While the coursework will be entirely online, all students will also participate in a one-week immersion in Berkeley that allows them to meet one another and the faculty as well as to interact with leading data science professionals from the San Francisco Bay Area. The program will provide hands-on experience with the diverse tools and methods for exploring and finding patterns in complicated, real-world data, and for communicating the findings with decision makers. Just like all other degree programs at the School of Information, I School faculty will teach in the program alongside experienced professionals. If you would like to learn more about the Master of Information and Data Science program, please visit us online<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=oaY1Pim2okA1ZkYYkX_2HA>to request more information or call 855.678.MIDS.

Fwd: Cityracks Request

by Julio Rios

FYI: Some bike racks coming up sometime soon on 22nd St. Not sure it will help the safety issue much, but may help with overflow when space upstairs is limited. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> Date: Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 10:27 AM Subject: RE: Cityracks Request To: Diana and Julio <dinju.judi(a)gmail.com> Hi Julio,**** ** ** Sorry for the long delay.**** ** ** After going out there a couple of times, I concluded that the best location for racks was on 22nd St. Sites for four racks (accommodating a total of 8 bikes) were marked with white dots. In late May, we mailed the ground floor businesses and the property owner (per our usual process) and didn’t receive any comments. (We are also adding two more racks across the street in front of the Bruner’s Building.)**** ** ** The racks were added to a work order submitted to the Public Works crews who install them on June 7. There is currently quite a back log, so I apologize again for the delay. I can’t tell you when they will be installed L--it’s out of my control.**** ** ** The reason I opted against the Broadway location was because of the white zone/loading-unloading in front of the Sound Room and because removing and replacing the two U-racks there was a bit messy because the sidewalk is in such poor condition.**** ** ** Let me know if you have any questions.

I can't find an email about this, but I believe that we talked and agreed that the best solution was to remove the existing racks there, and replace them with multiple perpendicular racks.

This is a commercial area and, recently, hosts a new hackerspace called SudoRoom on the second floor of the building, where many members use their bicycles to get there, but are forced to bring the bikes upstairs due to the lack of safety and visibility below. This corner would be a great location to have a pool of bike racks similar to what is in front of the New Parkway theater on 474 24th Street. I'm not sure if those bike racks were put up under the CityRacks program, but wanted to explore what was possible around Broadway and 22nd. There is plenty of room, but I don't know what kind of process we'd have to go through.**** **** Let me know if I should just submit a CityRacks request on the website.**** **** Thanks in advance for any guidance you are able to provide.**** **** Julio Rios**** **** On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:34 AM, Stanley, Jennifer <JStanley(a)oaklandnet.com> wrote:**** Hello Julio, First, please accept my apology for responding so late to this request.

It appears a wire came loose between the raspi and the door buzzer. We're trying to figure out the right way to put it back. Unrelatedly, our internet connection is being saturated this afternoon by UDP packets which look suspiciously like either a DDoS or (more likely) somebody was torrenting earlier. The high network load has made door.sudoroom.org appear down, but it still works.

sudo room access update

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, the elevator was emergency locked again this morning. it is definitely a problem to have this continue to be an issue, but we are actively working on a solution (ie, coordinating with laurie and george to ensure that we're on the same page regarding the elevator access control system that we installed last week & the subsequent lack of a need to manually lock the elevator). thank you to everyone for their patience as we resolve these issues and thanks to everyone who's a part of the ad hoc phone tree that's been resolving the immediate access problem whenever it arises :) you guys are awesome! - marina

Microcontroller Hack Night - This Tuesday!

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, It's that time again! I'll be firing up (after a bit of plumbing rework) the beer machine V2.0, doing some RGB LED control using accelerometers, and maybe a few other tidbits here and there. All level users welcome - I can't find the programmer I use for the scratch-build boards so won't be providing any components for those. If you're just starting out and need something to tinker with, there will probably be an extra controller or two on hand you can borrow, or if you want one to take home you can pick one up at radio shack by OG plaza last minute. FB event if you want to add yourself to a headcount: https://www.facebook.com/events/413697925410278 And feel free to invite people using this tool - I'm a bit sleepy at the moment so I only invited a few. Important: Several other events have subsequently been scheduled for this night. Please be conscientious when setting up and help keep the place clean over the course of the event. Hope to see y'all there, Hol

discussing the commons this tuesday

by Jacob Levin

Hello, A group of people are getting together at Sudo Room Tuesday evening at 7:30 to talk about David Bollier's work on the commons and I wanted to see if anyone from the Sudo Room community wanted to join us. David Bollier is one of the leading common advocates in the US, and believes the language of the commons will allow us to think our way out of the market/state argument that currently consumes most of what passes as political debate in this country. This is part of an ongoing discussion group we've put together to talk about some of the intellectuals and activists, including Bollier himself, who are coming to Oakland in early August for a conference. For more details about the conference or discussion group email me at jjflevin(a)gmail.com. You'll find links to the texts we'll be looking at below. Hope some of you can make it! Jacob *“The commons provides us with the ability to name and then help constitute a new order. We need a new language that does not insidiously replicate the misleading fictions of the old order – for example, that market growth will eventually solve our social ills or that regulation will curb the world’s proliferating ecological harms. We need a new discourse and new social practices that assert a new grand narrative, a different constellation of operating principles and a more effective order of governance. Seeking a discourse of this sort is not a fanciful whim. It is an absolute necessity. And, in fact, there is no other way to bring about a new order. Words actually shape the world. By using a new language, the language of the commons, we immediately begin to create a new culture. We can assert a new order of resource stewardship, right livelihood, social priorities and collective enterprise.” * The primary text we'll look at is David Bollier and Silke Helfrich's introduction to the recently published "Wealth of Commons": http://wealthofthecommons.org/essay/introduction-commons-transformative-vis… For those who want more explicit example of what this resurgence of the commons looks like, this article he wrote back in 2001 looks at how community gardens, open source software and blood banks can all be best described using the language of the commons: http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/reclaiming-the-commons/the-cornucopia-of-… And if anyone would rather listen/watch instead of read, this interview offers a great window into how Bollier thinks about the world: http://69.195.124.81/~erratica/2013/03/20/david-bollier-on-the-commons-para…

Next Friday: First Monthly POSSE Party (hosted by BACE Timebank!)

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all! I'm excited to announce a new monthly event that will be held on Third Fridays at sudo room: POSSE [Potluck Orientation Skill-share Swap-meet Event) Parties! Bring some food to share and meet local visionaries creating a more cooperative economy through alternative currencies such as timebanking, skill-share and resource-exchange circles. This is a family-friendly event, and childcare will be provided. Thinking this is also a great way to make one of our weekly 'Hacker Happy Hours' more family-friendly and health-oriented (though of course, no beverage turned away!). I'll be printing fliers at sudo today and will leave some on the main table. It would be great if folks could help with outreach, so grab a few fliers and post them up at your coffeeshop / community center / library / public space of choice! Event is on the sudo room calendar: https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/bace-timebank-posse-party/?instance_id=663… And there's also a FB event - please join if you plan on coming, and invite your friends! https://www.facebook.com/events/567378529994045/567385649993333/?notif_t=pl… Flier attached. Special thanks to BACE [Bay Area Community Exchange] Timebank for putting this on :) Hack the planet!!

large garage sale this Saturday

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, If anyone is interested in a kick-ass garage sale this Saturday, come check out Central Self Storage in Alameda: http://www.centralselfstorage.com/p/self_storage/directions/alameda-ca-9450… This place is walking distance from our 84-unit apartment building that will be closing down next month, so I expect there will be way more great stuff for sale than usual. Carla and I will be there all day (8am-3pm), trying to get rid of some really nice pieces, including some Indonesian and African carvings, various statues, large glass bottle vases, some furniture, etc. In other words - Come buy some of our crap, so we don't have to move it! Some of it is really nice crap too! Patrik
