Partial Occultation of Mars by Moon Tonight

by Peter Mui

Tonight (Jan 30th) in the early evening, there is a very interesting astronomical event -- an occultation of the planet Mars by the Moon. A full occultation (eclipse) of Mars is visible all across the southern portion of the United States (and further south). For the Bay Area, the Moon will narrowly miss Mars. You have to be south of a line from approximately Soledad through Fresno to see Mars fully covered by the Moon. Closest approach is about 8:54pm PST for the Bay Area. The orange-red color of Mars will make a striking contrast with the silver-white surface of the Moon. This event can be seen naked-eye, but binoculars or a small telescope will definitely help. Cheers, -Peter

Laser cutter.

by cc OrangeLush

This is just a heads up about the laser cutter. PLEASE make sure the chiller is operating/on when you are using the laser. IF you do not know what the chiller is you SHOULD NOT be using the laser cutter. I found the chiller unplugged due to something laying on the power cord causing it to become detached. If we are not vigilant in the start up step of the laser sudoroom will not have one due to operator error. Not wanting to be a castigator just wanting people to know that stupid things like a badly placed object can be the end of great equipment. cc

Requesting a laptop from the laptop locker

by Andrew R Gross

I'd like to take one of the laptops from the laptop closet, and wanted to check if anyone had any plans for it. It's a Sony Vio with some cosmetic damage on the side. Jake said that there's a spreadsheet for tracking the donated laptops, and I wanted to ask for access and instructions on how to withdraw one. Thanks, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

setting up recurring meetings Wednesday nights on the sudoroom calendar

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/sudoroom-meetings-2023-01-25/ I couldn't make the last meeting - but we didn't have meetings set up in our calendar - I'd like to also have this regularly sending out tweets to remind people, I always forget - I guess we should earmark some sudoroom meetings as more significant, larger, so people who can't always go can be poked and reminded of a larger one? I guess ideally too we could have a quarterly email list showing what was going on , what updates we have! It's cool, it was the first time I was able to attend the women in coding group last monday (only online). Maybe i'll join in remotely! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Proposal: Sudo Room should organize working groups to coordinate core functions

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers, I'd like to submit a proposal in advance of a meeting next *Wednesday, January 11th at 8 PM:* *The proposal: *I propose we organize working groups for membership, facilities, finances, promotion, and general administration. *The goals:* I think we should focus in 2023 on bringing in new people. Hosting more events. Finding new sources of revenue like grants. Organizing the tools, repairing the roof, and installing a mezzanine. I think all of these would be more attainable if we had a bit of structure that makes it easier for new people -- and old! -- to find similarly minded collaborators and organize and communicate to do these things collaboratively. *The details: *I see three elements to this proposal, which I'm listing to make it easier to offer suggestions or alterations: *1)* I think we should define a set of core functions which require coordination: membership, facilities, finances, promotion, and administration (miscellaneous general operation). *2)* I think we should promote coordination by establishing working groups, primarily consisting of an email list and a wiki page, but with broad leeway in how each group wants to organize and communicate. The facilities working group could decide to set up a Discord channel. The building group could choose to have regular in person meetings. The admin group could operate mostly on Signal. These don't have to be dictated in this proposal, as long as everyone knows how to get in touch with these working groups. *3)* I propose that participation and role assignment be presumed open, but managed by the groups themselves. I am actively choosing not to propose that they groups have a leader or a minimum number of participants, or a qualification to join. As proposed, I imagine anyone who likes fixing 3D printers when they clog can sign up for the facilities working group and now they're an equal member to everyone else. But if the membership working group is just one person answering new member questions, that's fine. The finance group and promotion group will presumably set guidelines on who has login credentials for accounts. Under this proposal, anyone can join any group and no member of a group has elevated privileges unless they establish them by consensus separate from this proposal. What do you all think? Would you like to join any of these groups? I'd like to get lots of feedback and then discuss this next Wednesday to incorporate the feedback received over email. Cheers, Andy *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Do people have video snippets for a sudoroom overview on the front page?

by Romy Ilano

I'd like to put something more fresh on the front page as a video. While there is stuff on instagram, it's a PITA to download it (or is it?) I think we can even make simple videos off screenshots, but stuff like the robot arm moving is pretty nice. If you have anything could you please email me or put it in a common folder? I'll make effort to do this as well. I'd like to get our activities off being only on social media... ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

would like to get some art stuff going (relying entirely on the wiki at this point)

by romy＠snowyla.com

At this point I'm relying entirely on the wiki for anything tracking what projects go on. While it's nice to have slack, email or discord, I cannot work with those mediums to get anything done, they just seem more focused around chatting and holding cool meetings instead of developing ideas to me. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Art#Art_Meetups_at_SudoRoom ^^^ this list is old and crusty. I know some people have been making art with the laser cutting machine and the multi media lab. Are there any other contributions?

update the wiki?

by Jake

thanks so much Romy for making this great wiki page! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Cool_Projects we have a lot of pages that need updating, and here's an easy example: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Printing the first part is "2D Printing" also known as paper printers. but it hasn't been updated in a while! Amusingly, we do have a few 2D printers but the list is inaccurate. Who wants to fix it? I know that presently, we have a working laser printer (last seen on the table in front of the vending machine) and a working inkjet printer/scanner combo (next to the laser cutter). Instructions on how to connect to them would be great! if you don't have a wiki login, please request one and it will be approved! -jake
