This has been a problem since Saturday morning. I'm told it may be a bad connection but I don't know what to do about it. Would anyone knowledgeable be willing to teach me how to troubleshoot and fix this, so we can start printing things again? Thanks!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Choose Your Own Adventure

by Vicky Knox

Yay! On that thread, the CYOA game designer I mentioned yesterday who I learned about via the April Oakland Nights Live is Porpentine. She designs games that are centered around queer/trans/female experience. The game she walked us through was the "High End Customizable Sauna Experience": http://aliendovecote.com/?p=4732 It's super fun! I really enjoyed speaking with her during intermission. Maybe we could see if she'd be interested in joining a writers' meetup, maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure-themed one? On that note, how do my writing kin feel about theming meetups? Maybe I should save this for the writers' list, but I just can't heelp it at this point...:P

Fwd: CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13

by Eddan Katz

of likely interest to Sudo folk... > From: Christopher Kin-Man Wong <christopher.k.wong(a)nyu.edu> > Date: May 20, 2013, 3:08:57 PM PDT > Subject: [Ipprofs] CFP - Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference @ NYU Law, Oct 11-13 > > Apologies for cross-posting. > > On October 11-13, the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law will convene the Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference, a first of it's kind, massively interdisciplinary event to explore a 360 degree view of civilian drones and their impact on society. > > Registration will open in the next few weeks but we're putting out a call for proposals now that I thought would be of interest to many of you. The CfP is below, and you can find more information at droneconference.org. Please feel free to distribute widely. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. > > Kind regards, > Chris > > --- > > Call for Proposals > Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference > October 11-13, 2013 > NYU School of Law > > The program committee of the inaugural Drones & Aerial Robotics Conference (DARC) is now inviting proposals from individuals across a broad spectrum of expertise. DARC will convene a wide range of stakeholders to explore civilian drones and their impact on society. The conference is presented by the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law and will be held October 11-13, 2013. We invite contributions from all interested disciplines on or before May 27, 2013. > > ABOUT DARC > > What do hobbyists, journalists, university researchers, soldiers, and police all have in common? They're all testing or using aerial robotics, commonly called "drones." > > Imagine a near future in which networks of autonomous robots roam the skies, performing everything from law enforcement, to communications, to crop dusting, shipping and logistics. Sound implausible? It might be. But that's the future that the aerospace industry, the FAA, and a new class of entrepreneurs are busy preparing. And this future is closer to reality than many realize. Drones force a broad reconsideration of the laws and regulatory frameworks that protect vital interests like civil liberties, due process, privacy, innovation, and security. But they also herald new innovations and new public interest applications. > > These technologies are powered by some of the same phenomena that propel the mobile industry—Moore's law, economies of scale, and ever more sophisticated software built by large companies or open source hackers. Anyone can buy a toy drone at the mall for $299, assemble a relatively capable DIY drone for $1000, or buy a sophisticated $50,000 aircraft for amateur photogrammetry. > > As the FAA scrambles to meet its 2015 integration deadline—which will open domestic airspace to hobby aircraft as well as the types of aircraft that currently fly over Afghanistan—DARC provides a forum for entrepreneurs, policy makers, and civil libertarians to constructively engage. Join us this Fall to explore this fascinating, emergent space. > PROPOSALS > > There are few technologies that stimulate such deep and wide-ranging questions about law, technology, and international relations. We welcome all proposals, but please stay substantive and constructive. This list is not exhaustive, but we invite proposals along the following lines: > Anecdotal talks > Popular research > Demos or tutorials > Scholarly research > Constructive discussions > Proposals should address -- but are not limited to -- our five main areas of interest: > General Interest & Zeitgeist > Makers & Entrepreneurs > Law & Regulation > Privacy & Surveillance > Security > Proposals can be submitted via the conference website at https://droneconference.org/proposals. Proposals will be accepted until May 27, 2013.

Stuff in the back that needs to be fixed to enable great creativity

by Romy Ilano

I suck at cleaning !!! But I helped out a few weeks ago: I found these things in the back. They are probably still there. They look like they enable a lot of neat creativity if they get some love. Maybe in between all the beer and burritos or during that someone can find some time:: Two projector like things . Just imagine! Instant art installation. One has a bulb that is new but the piece is off. Could some one help? Here's another projector thing a document camera. Another potential art installation/ political slogan/ projection with instructions on how to get to the nearest immigrant safety and rights shelter on some lonesome street corner in Berkeley Here's a food mixer that could be used to make salads so people at sudoroom don't have to constantly eat out and waste money After you fix it you could take the logo off, paint art on it. Put a big rant and political slogan about bringing down the polygyny oligarchy .. Yeah ! --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com

Tuesday - MicroController Hack Night // Lilypad

by Romy Ilano

Tomorrow is MicroController hack night. I'm working on Lillypad Arduino (wearable electronics) It's nice, I was able to get more done in the past 2 days than I have in the past few weeks... and with a full-time job too! It's weird. I guess I was just very good at avoiding listening to people pitch stuff. It's does wonders for productivity. I'm not sure if I can be very helpful tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I am not going to be so interested in hearing about people's kickstarters but it's all good. I just want to give happy energy at making and there will be a project that will lead to nice things. Useful videos to watch. I like these because I actually do stuff seeing these... they will not get you stuck in the "not doing" cycle of doom. These are very relevant videos for beginners. - Becky Stern was an NYU New Media Lab graduate - her embroidery + arduino videos are very helpful - http://blog.makezine.com/2008/04/21/lilypad-arduino-embroider/ - Leah Buchley came up with the Lilypad design - she is cool - http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/ Some parts of SudoRoom aren't quite prettily decorated with art. In the long term future I would love to donate lace-dripped electronics and embroidery to be part of useful things like the door project.

Sunday was a good day // microcircuits

by Romy Ilano

Sunday was a good day. Finally focused and actually worked on stuff /: wearable electronics. Just started! The first step I used scraps from marinas old Halloween costume and borrowed one needles I think the sewing Crew left behind. I used old thread left behind in the sewing room too. For the embroidery I mostly faked my way through this. Still figuring out the lilypad stuff. I avoided wasting my whole night looking at every other persons expensive fashion led project in the whole world A guy from Portland came by who is visiting various hackerspaces. He was having a nice time here I've been sidetracked and hijacked by a lot of people trying to get free PR for their projects Thank you sudoroom !

FRe: Dystopia News: No-Sex Apartments.

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

Hi Matthew- How many people at SudoRoom are in chronic econo-crunch or borderline homeless? How many of us are likely to fall for developer horse-puckey that these little prison cells are "futuristic" and "high tech", considering that the ones in San Francisco are designed to accommodate nearly-wall-sized Telescreens? Haven't we had numerous conversations including meetings, on the subject of living arrangements and potential community developments? How much of our listmail consists of two-word comments that would ordinarily occur in a chat window or text message format? Personally I find it inconvenient to have to keep deleting listmail threads consisting of "I'm locked out," and "Coming" and "Thanks," and "Is anyone in?" and "Yes," and suchlike, but I have no desire to tell others what they should and shouldn't post on the list. It's not as if we're being charged by the word, as with telegrams. There's method to my madness. You don't have to trust me on that, and you're welcome to not read anything I post, but at least I maintain "subject header discipline" so you can spot the stuff you don't want to read. Finally, please respect my nym rights by not using names for me other than the ones I use in my own postings. I don't go posting your PII online, please don't post mine. BTW, that's not even remotely negotiable.

HELP: Water spilled on MacBook Air!

by Diana Wu

Spilled a glass of water and I tried turning it off, letting it dry upside down, but mouse and keyboard don't work, the screen flickers, and it keeps turning itself on and off without my input. Any help? I tried opening the back of it, but don't have those tiny tools, any idea where to get one? does sudoroom have any? Thanks, Diana

time

by Romy Ilano

i remember when i was in undergrad in nyc in the mid 1990s and i had friends at nyu film school. they didn't have fully digital video editing back then. it cost a lot of money to make a short film. I think some classmates of hers were spending up to $10,000 on a film i remember a similar situation for press, printing the cost has gone down so much now. you can make a film for almost nothing; even cartoons and animations most of what you have to do is find focus and time. that's always the hard part. and making something that people actually find useful. it's a lot of sh*twork and requires sacrifice planning and foresight but the end result is worth it

by Yardena Cohen

Hey Sudoers, As of right now, tamale.sudoroom.org is deprecated - don't visit unless you like SSL warnings. You can now control our inside & outside doors from: https://door.sudoroom.org/ Passwords will probably change soon as well. I've just gotten some feedback that since this uses POST, it's no longer easy to directly bookmark the "open door" page. Sorry for the regression and we'll find a solution to that soon.

This Sat. 5/18 at 2PM: Fix-It Day & Linux Install Day!

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Please join us this Saturday 5/18 at 2PM at Sudo Room (2141 Broadyway, entrance on 22nd St., take the elevator upstairs) for Fix-It Day and Linux Install Day! We have a lot of computers and other equipment at Sudo Room in various states of functionality. You may also have computers and other kinds of equipment in various states of functionality! During this session we will come together to test/repair computers and learn more about fixing computers. BONUS: Have you always been curious about Linux but not sure where to start? If you are interested in installing Linux on your Windows computer (it is not necessary to delete Windows to install Linux), we will also be helping participants install Linux. Sudoers who are interested in helping people install Linux: please bring cd's, thumb drives, etc. for people to use. *This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.* - Marina

REMINDER: Writers' meetup Sunday @4p!

by Vicky Knox

Hey hey yeh yeH We're meeting Sunday at 4pm! I'll be late! :[ :[ I have an unexpected job interview (w00t!) at 3pm. BUT, you should arrive on time and mingle and merrymake as this event will surely result in your making connections you never thought imaginable, and your attendance at future meetups galore! And always remember... "Be what you would seem to be--or if you'd like it put more simply: Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." --Lewis Carroll
