Wednesday Dinner

by Raymond Lai

Hello Friendly Sudo Room, I won't be coming to tonight's meeting (Life: the Great Distractor), but I am still interested in making food. Since we have lot's of pasta in the Sudo Kitchen (I can see it from the live camera feed, that is trained on the pantry), I'm going to suggest a pasta salad. If others can provide fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and perhaps fresh mozzarella then we would have a feast indeed. I have garlic and an onion (or at least a part of an onion), and I can season olive oil with it. Add salt and pepper and you have a less than $20 dinner for hungry Sudoers. We can get fancy and put in capers or yellow squash or any numbers of other things, but the essentials of garlic, olive oil, salt, tomatoes, and basil is timeless. Anyone's tastebuds tickled sufficiently to shop and cook with me. car nice to have but unessential. cheers, ray

Seattle's Feminist / Trans-positive Hackerspace

by William Budington

This just came across the wire. A fem/queer/trans positive hackerspace just opened in Seattle called the Seattle Attic! Check it out: http://www.seattleattic.com/ Perhaps we should open up some lines of west-coast communication and dialogue and invite them to visit our space. Sounds like an awesome place and somewhere I'd like to check out some day. Bill

Love & solidarity -- David Brazil ----- Forwarded Message ----- *From:* Andrej Grubacic <agrubacic(a)ciis.edu> *To:* ANDREJ GRUBACIC <agrubacic(a)ciis.edu> *Sent:* Sunday, May 12, 2013 5:54 PM *Subject:* This Friday: * "We Are Not Machines!" Foxconn Workers Struggle in China* Bay Area Tour! *Anthropology & Social Change* is pleased to invite you to: **"We Are Not Machines!" Foxconn Workers Struggle in China** * California Institute of Integral Studies* * May 17, 2013 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm* * 1453 Mission St San Francisco, CA 94103* * Room 304 * As the world's largest contract manufacturer, Foxconn employs more than one million people in China alone. Foxconn workers are the iSlaves who face horrendous conditions while producing communication tools like iPhones and iPads for Apple. In 2012, a series of worker suicides shook the Chinese Foxconn factories and drew world-wide attention. Management promised to improve conditions and increase wages, but the situation has not changed much since: Foxconn accelerated the relocation of factories to the Chinese hinterland, employs student interns as "cheap" labor, covers up work accidents, and still relies on its militaristic management regime. However, Foxconn workers are far from being passive victims. They have used everyday forms of resistance against the rhythm of the assembly line and have been able to stage strikes in various Foxconn factories around China. In this talk, a member of the gongchao.org <http://www.gongchao.org/> collective will share their research and activity around the struggles of Chinese migrant workers and will use words, photos, and films to present the situation at Foxconn. The discussion will focus on ways to support the iSlaves of Foxconn and relate their struggles to our own. *On gongchao.org <http://gongchao.org/>* ** Gongchao.org <http://gongchao.org/> <http://Gongchao.org/<http://gongchao.org/>> was formed in September 2008 as a project for the research and documentation of labor unrest and social movements in China from the perspective of class struggle, migration, and gender. The website offers a selection of analytical texts and workers' stories in English and German. Among the gongchao.org <http://gongchao.org/> publications are: Unrest in China (2007), supplement to the wildcat- magazine; Dagongmei- Women Workers from China's World-Market Factories tell their Stories (2008), edited by Pun Ngai and Li Wanwei; The Take-off of the 2nd Generation- Gender, Migration, and Class Composition in China (2010), edited by Pun Ngai, Ching Kwan Lee et al,; and iSlaves - Exploitation and Resistance at China's Foxconn-Factories (2013), edited by Pun Ngai et al. (all published in German, with some parts translated into English). Besides writing and translating articles and books, gongchao.org <http://gongchao.org/> participates in inquiries and interview projects in China and sets up talks and discussions on Workers' Struggles in China in Eastern as well as Western Europe and beyond.

Hack Tha Police

by Eddan Katz

So right about now, Sudo Room court is in full effect* ... For those who weren't paying close attention to the news about the Oakland Police Department this past week, let me try to condense and read in between the lines. In case there was any doubt as to the unprecedented mess they/we are in: Two police chiefs resigned; Oakland made first in the country for robberies; news came out that only one person is in charge of coordinating burglary response; and the long-awaited police reform report was pulled from publication. (Raw footage of Fri. press conference - http://news.yahoo.com/video/raw-video-oakland-officials-address-221600024.h…) Our police chief friend Howard "It's Unconscionable" Jordan of LockPickGate (http://oaklandwiki.org/Lockpickgate) announced his retirement suddenly on Wednesday, the same day that the Wasserman-Bratton Report was supposed to come out. Since he's three years short of being eligible for the top pension (75% of salary) for life, he claimed undisclosed medical reasons and getting to spend time with his family (where he lives somewhere other than Oakland). Anthony Toribio was named interim chief on Wednesday, and announced his resignation on Friday. Sean Whent is our new interim police chief as of Friday (https://local.nixle.com/alert/4999940/?sub_id=894092). Thomas Frazier, who was appointed the Compliance Director by the federal court who fell short of a federal takeover of the OPD, had just announced the re-opening of investigations into police misconduct, including ones related to Occupy Oakland, the week before. Part of the deal the federal judge struck was that the Compliance Director has important authority over the OPD, including the ability to recommend the firing of police chiefs. (http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/frazier-to-reexamine-police-misconduc…). Frazier was the one who delivered the scathing report about the OPD response to Occupy about a year and a half ago (http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/cityadministrator/documents/webcon…). The press conference for the release of the Bratton Report, which was supposed to come out on Wed., was cancelled and turned into a press conference for Jordan's early retirement. While the full report didn't come out, the six-page summary was posted by local CBS News (http://cbssanfran.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/bratton_group_report_051813.p…). When Oakland hired the Bratton Group to do the report, there was significant protest among Oakland communities because of Bratton's support for "stop and frisk" policing (euphemism for racial profiling) and "zero tolerance" policies. He's generally known as the top cop that brought LA & NY crime rates down significantly during his tenure there. Robert Wasserman ran the community meetings because of the community backlash against Bratton (http://oaklandlocal.com/article/wasserman-lays-out-general-plan-crime-preve…). So is there anything that Sudo Room can do? Anything other than what other groups are already doing in trying to bring accountability to the OPD? A couple things in the Bratton Report (reprinted at OccupyOakland.org at http://occupyoakland.org/2013/05/bratton-group-report-may-8-2013/) come to mind. I think folks on this could have a lot of productive things to say about the Compstat Process, a computerized crime tracking system, which Bratton points to as key to improving crime response. The effectiveness of Compstat and how it can be optimally used and the drawbacks in how it is being suggested to be used has not really been discussed anywhere, as far as I can tell. There is also reference to significantly increasing camera surveillance all over Oakland - getting more info about that will be very useful. Makes me think that now would be the ideal time to finally get our surveillance tours going - identifying surveillance cameras around downtown and taking people on tours pointing them out as they walk around. Before posting such a list on Oakland Wiki or something, we would want to narrow down those listed to ones that are aimed at public areas (or private ones that also capture public space). ---- *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70lH373A1NU

Hacker Vs. Maker

by Andrew

Hi All, I recently came across a definition of Hackers and Makers and wanted to share the concept with the Sudo Community. Hacking can be defined as: Finding ways be make something perform a function it was not indented to. While Making can be defined as: Building new things. The basic idea being that Hackers take existing things and get them to do the unexpected, while Makers build new things. Makers can hack and Hackers can make. I like these definitions. Thoughts? -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

1x1x1 LED Cube

by Andrew

http://www.instructables.com/id/1x1x1-LED-Cube/ "In the course of history, it becomes necessary to create something new to advance the state of humanity. The wheel, agriculture, and electricity were all transformative inventions that seem downright simple today. But without them, we'd be munching our nuts and half-rotted carcasses in the dark. Even the simplest project can transform the world. With that, we bring to you the 1x1x1 LED cube. Beauty in simplicity. Absolute control over the fundamentals of microcontroller programming. Saying "Let there be" and making it so like the PG chapters of Genesis. As Antoine de Saint-Exupery skillfully points out, "Perfection is Achieved Not When There Is Nothing More to Add, But When There Is Nothing Left to Take Away" -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] Oakland Nights Live - Clean Up?

by Max Klein

I hear Rusty's complaint of cleanliness. and I want to speak in defense of Oakland Nights Live. I didn't see you at Oakland Nights Live, so I imagine you showed up after the event was over? I saw them vacuum and pick up and vacuum the common area too a high level of cleanliness. Maybe the front ground floor entry way was more dirty. Rusty perhaps you could be more specific about what was wrong, because I have a different understanding of their cleaning practices. Maybe it got dirty inbetween when you saw it and when they cleaned it. If so then I feel you are speculating on where the dirtiness came from. Jenny, . I also didn't see you at ONL, and during the hour following. I read that you sent an email to Oakland Nights Live with the phrasing "we can no longer..." at some point. I feel upset that you did so because I want messages claiming to be from sudo as "we" to be approved by all sudoers before they're sent. I would like to request that you don't send messages on behalf of sudo without consensus in the future. Thanks, Max

Oakland Nights Live - Clean Up?

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Andrew and I saw late last night that the space was really messy and there were piles of stuff everywhere. I was wayyy to tired to do anything about it, but it was really bad, especially with all the left out bottles, food on the floor, and etc. Romy and Jordan already started cleaning up earlier today, but they shouldn't be doing that. It also wreaked of cigarette smoke in the front hallway to the building. Can someone forward this email, so that the host of this event knows that this is an ongoing issue, and that we have gotten several complaints from the landlord, George? -Rusty

R labelled the recycle bin with a cool "ninjas will screw us or save us" poster... nobody knew for the longest time whether we had a recycle trash can or not. i got to help george our landlord empty our garbage. our garbage has been piling up. == i found out we have a cool cuisinart hand mixer whose motor is broken but we have to fix. = even though i don't biohack i saw that someone is working on a cool hack to make a low cost biohacking freezer = we moved the satellite dishes in the back so that they don't take up space in an inconvenient way. = i got to learn where some extra sewing supplies were along witht he scraps = <3 <3

Saturday was a great day .// May 11 report

by Romy Ilano

I started the day out a little grumpy, hungover and not having gotten a lot of sleep the night before. There were rough edges. [image: Inline image 1] here is max's drawing from our today i learned comics art and more 3d printing jam we are still trying to figure out the right fill type (not honeycomb) in this case... if we had made this thinner the drawing would be more apparent... https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/ComicsAndMore - I feel good because last night & today even more 3D Printing experts apprenticed me - I feel like there were all these people who are excellent cartoonists and artists who came out of the woodwork. there were also lots of new people willing to learn. this collaboration i'd been craving for a while came to happen. - new people came to the space and someone's friend even stayed behind and started writing technical documentation in our wiki for 3D Printing (new stranger but potential new member!) - oakland nights was packed, a few people came in but it was mostly a calm working night - people were putting up a lot of the drawings, we hope to decorate more in teh space - S brought a hella ton of art supplies without me even asking for today i learned. thanks dude! - someone's mom walked in off the street and talked about hanging out with her daughter at art events in oakland. it's always good when that happens. all of our problems are really not that bad and not much more dramatic than a lot of stuff you experience living with roommates. it is really nice when we create together.

job: office admin/accounting for music ipad app company retronyms

by Romy Ilano

hi -> sudoroomers, what's the convention for posting jobs on sudoroom? is this appropriate to put this here? I saw jenny posting a cool job a whiel ago... An acquaintance of mine is leaving her job and looking for someone to replace her at a cool music company called retronyms they make iphone and ipad apps like tabletop ... it's a small shop, and it's been around for a while. it's not such a start-up type of place. their passion is music. they're looking for an office administrative person, Accounting is a plus. Interest in the music industry another plus. If you do, have them email lisa (aaattttt) retronyms dot com

Digest mode

by Shawn Lesniak

I signed up for digest mode but it is rapidly becoming unusable due to excessive quoting of previous emails. Please only quote what is necessary for context. Some of the digests I've received contain 2-5 emails which all contain quote trees with 10 or more previous emails quoted. This makes it difficult to find the actual new content especially on mobile devices. Cheers, Shawn

cuddling it

by Leonid Kozhukh

"killing it" is a recently popular term to denote excellence and immense progress. it has a violent, forceful connotation. friends in the circus community - through empirical evidence - have established a belief that operating at the highest levels of talent requires mindfulness, awareness, and calm. thus, a better term, which they have started to playfully use, is "cuddling it." thought sudoers would appreciate this. cuddling it, -- len founder, ligertail http://ligertail.com
