Hey Everyone,
Can we start the movie later, rather than ealirer, because I won't be up
there for another hour or so? Does anyone care if I watch it and work :D ?

sudo'ers,
*This Friday we got Happy Hacker Hour from 7pm!* We shall indulge
- the glorious company of each other!
- exploratory conversation on the topics of Asterix.*
- wonderful homebrews from subiir (by Juul & yours truly)
- the documentary about the pirate bay, TPB_AFK
- unimaginative snacks (or imaginative? Feel free to bring some experiments)
Please bring some bucks for donations!
See you tonight and Friday, and make a great day,
Morten
Heres the saga thusly:
There are 6 pews for free in vallejo. They are a beautiful mahogany with orange/red seating. They are 16 feet long.
Marty was going to haul them with his truck but unfortunately the bed is too short. :(
So we turned to Craigslist for a mover. We found one who would do it for $60! Woot! We had it set up for 9 this morning. He calls at 8 and says his truck bed is too small. :(
So we looked up prices from U-Haul. $30 bucks for a 17' moving van. Sounds perfect. …
[View More]Unfortunately the fine print says U-haul charges $1 a mile. Vallejo is apprx. 30 miles away. So we are looking at something around $100-$110 with gas & bridge.
So any ideas, Sudoers? Anyone have access to a flat-bed? Or want to chip into the cost of the U-Haul? The church lady was so nice; she said she would hold them for another day if we could get it together. When I remarked on her niceness she said it was the "Jesus" in her. :)
Ideas?

After a long period of semi-benign neglect of the weightier aspects of the
Excheqing, I am happy to pass the function on to the eminently qualified
Tommy York. In addition to having drafted a new set of fiscal solvency
sheets for us which look like they will serve us very well, he brings
experience running coop finances and a business degree to the task.
This could not come at a better time, since the regular budget surpluses I
mostly passively functioned over mean that we will very soon be
…
[View More]crowdfunding sudo projects with our surplus income. My day job is now to
write an accounting system for a crowdfunding and community currency
platform with significant conceptual overlap with our own financial
processes, and to the extent I am able contribute this sort of automation
to what we do at sudo room, I will deeply appreciate the guidance and
leadership of someone with a firm handle on the business issues at the core
of things.
As is our ancient sudo custom, after the obligatory series of polite, coy
refusals by Tommy, the Excheqatorial sceptre was dropped and waved in the
prescribed manner, and the information on the accounts was handed over, and
the ritual of assumption is now complete.
Welcome to the future, Tommy!

Dear All,
Please see my notes from the meeting earlier this evening in Berkeley with
the Tekla labs team! More to come!
Tekla labs notes (UC Berkeley meeting)
- Nerd night - pitching a few different maker events to Nerd night around
Makers, would love East Bay DIY Bio and Sudo room ideas
- Tekla would love our thoughts on top list of biotech equipment we'd want
and costs for build commercial and makers
- They're interested in unique DIY bio use cases and also anyone interested
in taking part …
[View More]in their design contests
- Cinnaholic - comes highly recommended
- They'd like to think of some medium sized project to work with Sudo room
and East Bay DIY bio
- Tekla labs site - they'd love to share more high quality guides to
building biotech equipment, the idea is to make it a community
- They have some kits for making magnetic stirers, if anyone is interested,
they were thinking of doing this for work shop weekend (possibly partnering
with us)
- they're establishing profiles for all biotech do'ers from researchers in
latin america through to hobbyists and welcome anyone to set up a profile,
not fully automated but they can walk you through

Hello Sudoers! A friend alerted me to the availability of free pews! They
are made of dark mahogany. Asking Matt if Sudo Room needed some pews, he
said, "YES!" So the nice lady is holding them for us, but we need to act
fast (large numbers of calls and interest).
I would like to request 2 of them but the rest can go to my favorite hacker
space.
Truck please!
Cheers,
Ray
txt sam if you have a truck and can fetch these fine pews. 914.400.5604

Dear All,
I just wanted to confirm that we are indeed still meeting this Friday at
6pm if that still works for everyone. At the moment I'm still trying to get
us access to the Berkeley space that we discussed before for the possible
East Bay DIY Bio hacker space but no word yet. So we have a choice
1. Meet at a Cafe/Bar/Restaurant (possibly Saturn Cafe) in Berkeley at 6pm
2. Alternatively, we could meet back at Sudo room at 6pm just before the
hacker happy hour and talk for a while as people …
[View More]arrive until about
7/7.30pm?
My preference (for simplicity) would probably be Sudo Room
Let me and our fellow Biohacker members know if you have a preference?
Please also see the agenda below compiled by Ron:
1) How to build a self-sustaining community? What sorts of organization,
resources, people, physical requirements would there be to get a space off
the ground?
Who will be in the community and what are their goals?
How might membership work?
What are our self sustaining budget numbers?
How will the lease and other such legal obligations work?
How can we collaborate with biocurious and nextgen? Who can be our allies
to build this momentum?
Other topics related: legal, regulatory, fiscal requirements, organization,
volunteers, building momentum, lab rules
2) Projects.
Everyone loves talking about projects. Given some idea of what the
community needs, how can projects build that community?
Because it takes at least 6 months of focused experience to get up to speed
in actual biological hacking, team projects will probably be the mainstay
of the lab for a while.
Team projects should probably be focused and supported by vote, but how can
we gauge what is too ambitious for a first round?
For example:
- open benchtop*
- the bioprinter project is an experience to learn from
- bio Informatics support for the lab or diyBio
- open source bioreagent design.
3) Appendix: Lessons learned:
- Biologists involved in the core of the startup process have been pretty
useful.
- getting members up to speed can take months and they need mentorship to
get to a level of creative practice.
- projects build enthusiasm as well as get people experience
- classes are important
- the community is made of people all of whom are needed to build the
community successfully (e.g. members, volunteers, class attendees, board
members (or something like board members anyway).
* BTW - This is the gogofuge link I mentioned - really a niceified dremel
centrifuge.

All the best,
Ryan

Hey all,
Cyrus (suh-ROOS) here.
My day job is at Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/author/cyrus-farivar/) where I write about business, tech policy, privacy and surveillance.
I'm also the author of "The Internet of Elsewhere" (http://amzn.to/lVg5Cj) a book about the history and effects of the Internet in four countries around the world.
I also love Oakland, tacos and biking—the East Bay Express gave me a "Best Bike Tour" award back in 2010 for my "Tour de Taco." (http://bit.ly/ZszktY)…
[View More]
I also am active in radio, and have done lots of reporting for NPR and other public radio. I lived and worked for two years ('10-'12) in Germany, working for Deutsche Welle English (German intl public radio). I've also lived in France, Senegal, Australia and Switzerland. (French is my best foreign language, but I speak some German, Persian and Spanish too.)
I met Matt at the Techliminal party the other and am curious to meet the Sudoroom community. I came by the space today and worked for a little bit and am hoping to become a member.
I have a standing engagement on Wednesday nights but I'm hoping to come to a meeting sometime next month.
Cheers,
-C

Hi everyone,
Meet Kevin. He's a senior at Met West High School, where they do a senior
thesis project. Kevin is looking at the effects of the internet on young
people, and how to get them focused more productively.
If you'd like to be interviewed, let me know - we can pick up a time to
invite Kevin to the Sudo room and talk to a few people at once.
I know you have some opinions (and experience...) about this. :)
Here's his proposal summary:
My project idea is to help young people become …
[View More]aware and know what the
internet and technology are doing to the planet and to our brains. Not only
are young people, millennials, wasting their time on the internet with
social networking sties, but they don’t gain anything educational and
useful or for financial benefit while on these sites. One thing they are
losing is time on the internet for social networking and not accomplishing
work or homework with the same effort and competence. We should care
because it is controlling people and just making them spend most of their
time on the sites. Recent studies show that technology is changing how our
brain works; reading, concentration, contemplation and our capacity, which
are also losing the full abilities of the human brain. Since we depend on
technology so much, I want to make people aware of how our brain is being
impacted and find different ways that we can minimize our loss. I want to
tell them that they should use their brain power and time on something that
will help them in the future so they do not lose both of them during the
same time at a young age.

It's been on the local pad all along. I've just copied the contents to
https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom and starred the revision, but good
luck keeping it up there...
Sorry I probably won't be there tonight. Still recovering from a bad
cold. (I had to tunnel through ssh to do this...)

Hi everyone,
Could someone with the blank agenda for tonight's meeting possibly copy it
to https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom or send it to me (I can copy it in)?
Thanks!

Yo sudosicles,
Sudoshroom has started shrooming today. We have a deal with Farleys and get
their awesome espresso grounds for free. This means that>>
1) right now we got around 3/4lbs of high quality grounds at sudoroom
leftovers. Come pick em up asap and use em in your garden/shrooming. This
wont be the last time we will have leftoer grounds.
2) sudoshroom won\t need grounds collected by ourselves space. We can still
keep collecting but personally Im unsure what it will be used for, …
[View More]because
for shrooming, the grounds we get from farleys are plentiful and with less
risk of contamination, more dry and easier to handle. The alternative to
collecting is composting in the bins mr Senate set up (good job Matt!),
which seems pretty fine too.
Make a great night,
Morten

Hey sudoers!
This email is to remind y'all that this Thursday, Feb 21st from 6:30-9pm we
will be holding our first CORE (Communities of Oakland Respond to
Emergencies) class at sudo room (which will actually be taking place in the
Public School's room as they're hosting a poetry reading that same
evening).
This is the first in a series of three classes offered by Oakland's First
Responders. This class will cover basics of self-reliance in the event of a
disaster or emergency that could take …
[View More]out power and other essential
infrastructure for up to weeks at a time. The CORE I class teaches students
how to prepare a family disaster plan, reduce common household hazards,
create emergency supply kits, and respond to a number of possible
emergencies, including earthquakes and fires.
To RSVP, please email me directly. The current RSVP list is here:

Hi Sudoers
A couple of things. I didn't get much of a response for screening *The
Pirate Bay film* and as Jenny pointed out Tuesdays are super busy. How does
this *Friday 2/22 *work for people? There are no conflicts i can see on
either the Sudo calendar or the Public school.
Also i wanted to know that i've acquired a *first aid kit for Sudoroom* so
we can take it off the wish list. Ill bring it in later in the week.
I am also looking for folks interested in *developing The Public
School *…
[View More]website.
There are a lot of improvements to be made and there is a test server
already running. The site runs on Drupal. So if any dev types have some
extra time or interest i can get you access or we could do a hackathon to
shore up the site.
Best,
Marty
