[Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Got word and confirmation from George today that he is dissatisfied with our current access system--meaning we may no longer leave the door on 22nd propped open whatsoever. We need to (a) resolve our membership identification problem and (b) unify and maintain our full access management solution and provide it to all members (c) set up a telephone inside sudo room (d) expand access solutions to the public school, possibly other tenants up to a fair exchange (e) keep the hallway on 22nd to the elevator absolutely clear of all items. Seriously, we are on thin ice and if we want to remain committed to public access and thriving events, we need to get our shit together. I personally cannot commit to resolving any of the above items--but I do offer help and feedback to folks who can commit. // Matt

Beta test Sudo Radio App

by J.C.

Hey all, I've put together a really simple desktop player that streams audio from sudoradio.com https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoPod The main feature of this app is that it has an integrated web server and API, so you can run it on your desktop/laptop speakers and be able to control it from any device with a browser on your network. So if you have a Mac or Win machine and want to try it out, let me know, at some point I'll probably do a iOS/Android version as well. Also if anyone wants to setup this up on a desktop in sudo room it can be remotely controlled by anyone on the network. -- ThanX, ;+) https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/%C3%9F%C3%AA%C3%A3%C2%B5

Sudoers do Yoga: A special Yoga deal I cut with Earth Tribe Yoga

by Max Klein

Greetings and Namaste, I'm a horribly stiff man that war born without the ability to bend past a 20 degree angle. But lately I've been going a few days a week to http://www.earthtribeyoga.com/ on Franklin and 20th (2 blocks from sudo). Now its 25 degrees. Earth Gribe is a cool space, they are essentially sudoers of the yoga world - their classes and space are completely free, and run on member donations. So if we wanted to we could just go to their classes together. Last Sunday, I was the only person at the 5pm class, and got a private lesson. I remembered how intimidating it is to go to Yoga when you don't feel stretchy. So I asked the peeps if they would do *a private lesson for sudoers*. They said yes if we got *5 people at $5/person*. We could do it at their location or at sudo. and the time can be negotiated. Tor now I'm going to propose Sunday at 6, but I'm so flexible. So does anyone want to go with me to regular classes, or start a private group? notcofusingly, Max

CJDNS - Hyperboria - Project Meshnet

by Alcides Gutierrez

Hi everyone! I've been in the space a few times and told a couple of folks about my mesh network ambitions. So now we're fundraising for CJDNS support for Openwrt and Windows. CJDNS is a mesh protocol flavor that emphasizes privacy through built-in encryption and encourages trust and socializing through a trusted peer model. Hyperboria is a pretty large network of CJDNS networks ('mesh islands') scattered across the globe and connected via Internet tunnel. Several services are run such as HypeIRC, and some only accessible via Hyperboria. Project Meshnet is an effort to research, develop, and deploy functional mesh networks based on CJDNS and also expand Hyperboria to become the next generation of the Internet. Ambitious, yes. But very hard to do with the current state of support: Linux and MacOS. If we can support Openwrt and Windows the doors can open wider for development and testing. If you or anyone you know is interested in supporting this development, visit fund.meshwith.me . $125 gets you a wireless router preconfigured with peers so all you have to do is plug it in and connect to Hyperboria. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Im usually on #Noisebridge and #Sudoroom on Freenode (VaporOne). But feel free to explore projectmeshnet.org or even install a node on your Linux and explore Hyperboria! Alcides Gutierrez http://e64.us

- Proposal: "The official policy of Sudo Room is to only act on requests by the Land Lord that are given to Sudo Room *in writing *by the Land Lord or one of the Land Lord's agreed upon representatives, except in cases of emergency (ie. preventing injury), or compliance with already written city codes." --Andrew - Discussion: - Some agreement on formalizing the relationship whether it's in moving forward with the proposal as written or designating points of contact (ie, the landlord should communicate items directly with leaseholders) - we asked for the current door to be installed - concerns about being handed a notice (in writing) to remove things from the common space - do we have recourse? can we counter/compromise? - some suggestions to work very hard to make any request for formalization seem conciliatory instead of hostile/aggressive - what does our lease say? it offers the common space as an amenity. will email the text of the lease for further details - if we are making a move to formalize/legalize the relationship, it may indicate a serious souring of the relationship. we should be willing to deal with potential consequences. we want a great relationship with the landlord that is informal at best. if we are concerned - we have to remember that we are tenants and bring him income, so we have power - it is important to be able to give people without keycards/rfid access to the space during daytime hours (ie, benefit of open door) - good to have expectations clear from what should be in the common area - the goal ultimately is to communicate clearly and consistently vs just having a goal of having things in writing - suggestion: working group to develop the items that we want expectations about - reiterate to landlord that it's to the landlord's benefit to make expectations clear - LMI offers a telephone line which we can set up and have that be one point of contact - we offer a lot of events, collaborate with the public school, have random people, etc....so a lot of it is potentially outside our control and we do often overstep a lot of what a normal tenant does and other landlords would not necessarily be as conciliatory - one solution is to rent more spaces :) - Membership & Access Discussion: who is a member? what are the benefits of membership? how is membership related to access? - Articles of Association on member benefits: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits - Straw poll on membership and access: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zCaEAVVjLwMrWcoPlGb09-G6bvaaiewi33FTz3OBpt… - Discussion: - what is the current way to get in the space? ad hoc with a principle of limiting the number of keys - web of trust: basically, we've been giving rfid's, pw's to the web-based opening mechanism, and keys to individuals on an ad hoc basis (if they ask for access, etc.) - andrew has been acting as "keymaster" role - proposal for unofficial keymaster role: humans who volunteer to help people get in (helpful if they live nearby or are often in the building for other reasons) - important to reconcile whatever we decide with the articles (change them if htey need to be changed) and keep in mind that whatever we do, it should be in line with our values: commitment to public access & providing a safe space under the auspices of an association of members who get access and have certain benefits - Feedback from new person: the meeting is not the best way for a new person to get acquainted to the space because it requires some previous knowledge. what would be a good time for a new person to come to learn more about: collaborating, learning about existing projects, and learning things. - Space / New Space / The Search Continues - Priorities / values - Historical / Previous requirements for any potential space are listed here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sudo_room/open_a_space - Please note that those are from last year and is in need of updates--let's do that now! - Exterior security - safety of the surrounding area - Lease vs month-to-month rent (latter preferred) - Kitchen / communal kitchen - Street-facing - No regressions from the current space - Strategy - Use http://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/ (ask Romy or Matt for admin access) - Tweet any space details *@sudoroom* - Email *info(a)sudoroom.org* - Craigslist posting looking for friends: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/3789289305.html - Updates from NoBAWC meeting @ sudo room - New Logos - Ryan - informal straw poll for set of 9 logos (numbering goes from top left and zigzags to bottom right): - 1: 0 - 2: 2 - 3: 5 - 4: 6 - 5: 3 - 6: 3 - 7: 0 - 8: 5 - 9: 2 - What time for sunday's hackathon?

communal living / Good Earth Hamlet // eco village in india

by Romy Ilano

http://www.goodearthhomes.net/Hamlet.html back to the topic of communal living spaces / alternative archiectures... i stumbled on this webiste today. good earth homes makes ecovillages and beautiful experimental apartment complexes in India. check out how the building is made! everyone's windows face inward... it's quite beautiful. it reminds me of the pretty hof buildings in Berlin with huge courtyards. what do you think of this? It's also a nod to a more communal lifestyle... Yes, I know these things are for the more well-heeled, but it's a start right? As a tech worker I know I'm more privileged than most people in the SF Bay area. Hamlet Cochin Good Earth’s first venture into community housing was 'Good Earth Hamlet'. An attempt at community housing which bridged the existing gap between independent houses and the urban stereotype block of flats. The emphasis has been on community spaces to encourage interaction while at the same time providing for individual privacy. The half-acre plot is on the banks of the Kaniampuzha river located in Chalikkavattom, a quiet suburb of Cochin. The central courtyard creates an intimate space, free from vehicles and safe for children to play. The circular form is most economical, both in terms of space and structure. Seventeen units, using an FSI of one, and a height of ground and two upper stories are appropriate, considering structural economics, as well as the blending in with the surroundings. The setback areas serve as private backyards for the ground floor units, and the first floor duplex units have terraces at each level. As one enters the hamlet through wooden gates, a paved pathway leads to the green, undulating courtyard beyond which one catches a glimpse of the waterfront through the stilted semi-open area. The stilted areas on the ground floor act as wind tunnels and enhance the air circulation in the courtyard. The structure is recessed in parts at the first and second floor level to form terraces overlooking the courtyard. These terraces break down the mass of the structure and together with the sloping roofs make an interesting form. Walking around the courtyard, past the collage of corbelled seats and bay windows, one is drawn to the waterfront, where a club and crèche lie on either side of the semi-open space used for interaction. Each individual unit has been designed to have an identity, in terms of its planning and location in the community. *Every*home has adequate natural light and cross ventilation. The interior spaces flow into each other, having walls only where required. The bedrooms are oriented towards the outside, while the living areas overlook the courtyard. In keeping with our principles of cost-effective construction, the structures minimize the use of Reinforced concrete and steel. The 9" brick walls had the outer face exposed and flush pointed, and the inside plastered. Arches are used to span large openings and windows, while doors are spanned with pre-cast thin lintels. Economical timber sections of jack-wood and *anjali* are used for the doors and windows. Filler slabs, using rejected Mangalore tiles, make up the roof and the floors, thus making the slab lighter and also reducing structural steel. Besides being economical, the filler slab also keeps the inside cooler and is ideal for hot and humid climates. The interiors are kept simple with terra cotta flooring and lime washed walls, with an occasional arch or a bay window to add character to the space. The sewage system uses a series of septic tanks for the solid waste, while the grey water is separately treated. The rainwater from the roofs is allowed to percolate through the courtyard, thus recharging the ground water. Organic waste is collected for composting; to achieve a sustainable recycling system. Thus the design works efficiently, using minimum circulation space and a maximum of the site to create a built environment, which enhances the lives of its inhabitants. A result of enthusiastic teamwork between the architects, engineers, masons and other skilled workers, the project was completed within the estimated cost, in a period of 16 months. The hamlet today, with perhaps a flower patterned curtain on a window, clothes hanging on a terrace, people conversing across terraces and a tricycle left in a courtyard, feels warm and secure, giving room for individual expressions while embracing them into the community.

B&W darkroom setup

by Ben Hass

Hi all, I just found out about the sudo room while looking at the JavaScript user group meetup page and noticed the weekly study group. I'm hoping to check out the space sometime after I return to Oakland on June 1st. I look forward to seeing the space and meeting you all soon! I'm emailing now to see if anyone at sudo room is interested in setting up a darkroom? I have a pretty complete setup for B&W printing and enlarging. I also have a very cool Sinar P 4x5 view camera, though I'm still saving up for a nice lens. I would be happy to share use of the camera if others are interested in learning. I'm going to be driving cross-country on Sunday, so I'd need to know soon if there is interest in this project as I'm currently storing it here in Wisconsin. Maybe this is all a bit too archiac, but anyway I thought I'd see if anyone is interested. Best, Ben Hass 415-819-6755 benhass(a)gmail.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013

Think you're right that we are very close to completing item (b) I listed below. There are four others that require our attention. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Andrew" <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com> To: "Romy Ilano" <romy(a)snowyla.com> Cc: "sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] [Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013 Date: Tue, May 21, 2013 1:26 AM This can be resolved immediately with the technology we already have. There is no reason anyone to keep the door propped open. 1. door.sudoroom.org is up and running, we also have the mouse buzzer, which I hear is not working, but should be easy to fix. 2. Intercom still works3. RFID works. I have RFID fobs if anyone who doesn't already have one wants one. I also don't think that it's always Sudo Room that props the door open, Public School does this as well.

[PROPOSAL] Land Lord Proposal Tonight

by Andrew

Hi All, I am going to propose the following at the meeting tonight: "The official policy of Sudo Room is to only act on requests by the Land Lord that are given to Sudo Room *in writing *by the Land Lord or one of the Land Lords agreed upon representatives, except in cases of emergency (ie. preventing injury), or compliance with already written city codes." I will also propose that this be voted on tonight given the time sensitivity and the severity of the issues we've had with the Land Lord. I will also propose that pros and cons be listened to for a limited time before voting as opposed to just taking general stack. Thanks, Andrew -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

SERVER SETUP and MAINTENANCE

by Troy Massey

Practical Options for Deploying IT Equipment in Small Server Rooms & Branch Offices Source: APC by Schneider Electric<http://www.techrepublic.com/research-library/apc+by+schneider+electric> Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure, hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT operations within small server rooms and branch offices. This paper discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load. I figure some good information can be found in this paper regarding server options. For those interested, have a read I'm sure it covers ground some people are familar with and some new approaches as well, Sincerely, Troy

Din din and not the din of wolves howling for their supper

by Ray Lai

Hello Sudoers, It's Wednes-daaaay nite! Which means meeting and dinner. I have no funds to buy anything. Any suggestions? Pot luck? Bring Your Own Comestibles? If someone has a desire or vision, I and anyone else who is cooking (Marina? Sarah? Ari?) can whip it up. Anthony and I had talked about buying a can of silkworms at Koreana, skewering them on bamboo skewers, lightly basting them in oil and roasting them with my butane torch. Next we would roll them in sugar and torch them again, thus creating a delicate brulee chrysalis. If there are enough interested we might buy 2 cans and u can roast your own. :) Unmentionably yours, Raymond Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

FREE SECURE E.MAIL WITH STORAGE ???

by Troy Massey

I figured I would ask the list what they have found to be good e.mail services without ads and usability popups from a giant mega corporation that tracks your e.mails and doesn't work with e.mail clients like thunderbird, and offers horrible "help" and has contacted e back only 2 times after the 20+ plus times I have sent e.mails to them. I'm basically done with Goggle.com for e.mail ( yes that is a correct spelling and how I will refer to them from now on as that is exactly what Goggle has done to the internet culture by repackaging and commercializing the internet into a comercially driven serach engine, it has made us myopic quick fix searchers.) Besides this is NOT what the internet was intended to become. Does anyone know of any good secure e.mail sevices online with decent storage that is free? Frustratedly yours, Troy

Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

by Tom Fitzpatrick

Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's without utilizing their potential for simulation. http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life. His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It comprises a complete curriculum in winning. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links
