Fwd: programming classes for kids -- need input on a venue!

by rusty lindgren

Hey Everyone, Does everyone want to do a fund-raiser/linux install athon with RoShamboMedia, so that we can have laptops for checking-in-checking out for sudoroom classes?(see specs inline) These are actually nice laptops, but they aren't worth a whole lot(maybe 200 complete tops), so theft wouldn't be a big issue. This would be a great deal for teaching classes and etc. for everyone at sudo. Let me know and thanks, Rusty ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: rusty lindgren <rustylindgren(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 4:05 PM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] programming classes for kids -- need input on a venue!

Re: [sudo-discuss] Hack The Gallery

by Patrick Schmidt

Hi guys, (all sexes) I just came back from the noisebridge to go over some details with Mitch, who checked out my space in berkeley last week. i wanted to announce it Wednesday at the Meeting but as you are talking about Friday 22nd I have to do it now: So I am running this community Art Gallery called the "Open Fine Art Gallery" in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre in north Berkeley, 2 miles north of downtown. As an art gallery its fun to bring people together, lots of new artists that never showed before, but nothing sells and financially it really sucks to be honest, all savings almost gone. We have been transitioning to a community center, every open day (wed-sat) there is a free and donation based class... On Friday March 22 we have a Fundraiser and Kick-Off coming up and we are going to declare the Space a quantum community space, which means a superposition of - hackerspace -makerspace -tinkerspace -co-creator space - coworking space -developer space - you name it whatever space - avocado institute - nyan cat university and whatever the people who use it as a creative community space want to call it (declare it sudo!?) I have been asking some folks that opened community spaces to give talks as well and want to announce that anybody who wants to give a talk on - opening a community space - why a community space is awesome please let me know for the awesome people in our community who have awesome stuff to share about this and might wanna do so. With or without Powerpoint, well planned or spontaneouly. The place has a huge potential (45 feet high walls, vacant theatre next door) So I would like to invite you all to the Kick-Off Event, and also to be part of transition, please let me know if you wanna get involved. best , Patrick 2013/2/26, Andrew <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com>: > For anyone who watched TPB_AFK last week.

Nerd Nite east bay tomorrow at 7pm

by Naomi Most

Greetings, Tomorrow will be this month's installment of Nerd Nite East Bay. The Nerd Nite franchise puts on good shows and is generally a safe bet for supernerdiness combined with alcohol, or either one of those by themselves depending on personal preference. The SF Nerd Nite almost always sells out, but the East Bay version is only just getting started. I went to last month's episode, and it was Good. However, I think THIS month is going to be Great. They'll have Jessica Richman from uBiome, one of the guys on the Curiosity (Mars rover) team, and something about fabrication (not my bag but I'm sure it'll be fun anyway): http://www.bayareascience.org/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=9578 And it occurs to me that much of this will come as no news to some of you. (In remotely related news, this message constitutes my first email to the sudo-discuss list.) Anyway, there's a small chance I will not make it due to utter exhaustion from overcommitting myself (as usual), but if I know some of y'all will be there, I'll plan my stimulant intake accordingly. Cheers, Naomi

Arduino current protection code?

by Tracy Jacobs

Hi all and Jake if you get this, Does anyone know the bit of code for protecting your arduino from current spikes? I could use that now. I'm trying to run a bunch of heavy duty servos with a bit of a load. They have a separate power supply, but I'm not using any motor controller. Does this seem like a bad idea? Could that little code provide enough protection from current spikes? Thanks for your advice, Tracy Thanks for your advice.

Sudo Needs Your Help

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, At the last meeting I proposed we return to a practice of developing specific action items with corresponding members for each item. You can see them here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2013-02-20 I'd like to do this again, but for much bigger items: 1. Door Access Automation version 0.2 2. Fiscal Solvency Improvements 3. Membership process 4. sudoroom.org version 2.0 Add notes and read more here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom I'm happy to help facilitate and keep track of progress on more things, but inversely, I need more help from other members to implement solutions (which are hopefully simple, elegant systems). // Matt

A random email poll about dues - please respond!

by Tommy York

Hello again, I have a couple questions for dues-paying members: 1) How have you paid dues in the past? (Cash, check, other? I don't even know what the options are yet at this moment.) 2) How would you like to pay dues? I'd love to see an easy, online option for donations up on our website (maybe this exists, but a quick glance at the website does not reveal anything, and assuming your average sudoer or outsider isn't going to search for it) but as I understand it, people may have some thoughts on what that option would look like, leading me to ask question 3: 3) What are you constraints on option 2? Would you prefer using non-profit / cooperative / what have you funding options - or the lack thereof, and thus check and cash - over for profit funding options? 4) Comments on various means of communication about dues, what's worked, what hasn't, what you'd like to see. This is a non-committal, information gathering exercise. Looking forward to h^3, Tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

6 beautiful mahogany pews for sudo room. Free!

by Ray Lai

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. 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? (Tenacious) Ray Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

Free freezer (needs coolant) for your project

by Raymond Lai

Hello Sudoers! Who wants an apartment sized freezer for a project? You can make a DIY smoker <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHJlBLYGNcs> or use it in fermenting beer. <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/> The freezer works as a fridge now (possibly needs more coolant), and it chills to about 40 degrees F. It's completely free, you just need to grab it from our apartment on Oakland Ave x Grand. We are at the top of 1 flight of stairs. Here's some pix for the freezer/fridge that will make the perfect smoker or beer fermenter of your DIY dreams. Cheers, Ray the Ice Cream Man 415.843.1287 <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/>

Long live the Exchequer

by Anthony Di Franco

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 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!
