I was talking to Jake and Elaine at a recent meeting, and Jake mentioned
that we've got some kind of laser soldering gun or something.
Coincidentally, I've just started using the soldering stations, and
honestly I'm noticing how much I don't know.
So I was thinking of putting together an afternoon where we could all bust
out some of this exotic stuff AND I might also just pick people's brains
about how to use solderpaste well. We can definitely do it again if there's
interest, but I primarily see this as a discrete event. If I were to
organize this, how many people could I rope into answering my questions?
Would people be more available on a weeknight or weekend afternoon?

Hello, Jake sent me to this group, and suggested I'd ask on here
for help to install a rom on my android phone. I'm trying to install a lineage rom, and
I don't know how to do it. If anyone is available to help, please let me know.
Thank you so much

Hi everyone!
Sudo room's weekly meeting is tonight at 8 - 9 pm in person and remote at
meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles.
I'm feeling a little ill, so I don't know whether I can be there in person,
but a new member said they're coming, so if you're going to be there let
everyone know!
See you tonight (probably)!

Thank you to everyone who helped and showed last night at the fundraiser!
After paying performers out we made over $500!
Shout out to everyone who helped and supported!
Especially Counter Culture Labs, Sudoroom, Myriad Outreach Program, Food
Not Bombs, Media Lab w/CC sewing table, all the amazing artists & of course
the incredible volunteers who made it happen!
This event was short notice with organizing. Imagine how grand a more
planned out fundraiser event can be! Let's continue to count our blessings
and continue to organize together!
With much love & gratitude,
Omni Commons
Just curious I hung out with some circus folks in Mexico on vacation and I miss learning juggling and acrobatics. Any of those folks at the Omni!

Heya,
CCL has kicked off an environmental working group on account of local
concerns and, well...the apocalypse, in general.
One of our focuses is on water quality and thus we are wondering if anyone
lurking on this gigantic list has connections with anyone at EBMUD? We got
questions about the water supply and are looking for answers beyond the
public-facing powerpoint slide deck.
thnks

I've set up a jitsi terminal on the wall in Sudoroom!
It's a big TV made by Hitachi, and it has a feature where it can go into "power
saving" mode when the HDMI signal is lost. That means the screen can power
down when DPMS puts the monitor to "sleep". It has a webcam that's clearly
labeled, and on a hinge so it can easily be aimed down at the floor if people
are shy, and it has a Jabra USB speaker/microphone thing which should hopefully
provide good speakerphone functionality. I have the computer setup to start
firefox, and i have firefox set to open the jitsi page, where permissions are
already enabled for webcam/audio. The only remaining need is to automatically
wake the monitor from sleep (using "DISPLAY=:0 xset force dpms on") whenever
there is anyone else detected in the jitsi "room"
This feature is important so that people can see (on the screen) whenever
someone is in the screen/camera/microphone with them. For now the monitor is
either left on a lot, or blanks out due to a timeout.
I've determined that the most direct ways to make the monitor turn on when
anyone joins the jitsi channel are:
1. make an XMPP client in python or something, which connects to the server and
finds out how many people are in the room (and whether there's anyone other
than the telescreen in there) and sets the monitor on/off state accordingly
2. make a browser extension to find the element containing the number of
"Meeting participants" and copy the number to the window title, where it can be
observed from the shell with a command like wmctrl -l
<div class="jss52">Meeting participants (2)</div>
unfortunately the div class is not always jss52 but the innertext is always
Meeting Participans(#) so it should be able to be found.
The idea is that with this setup, people can go on jitsi and talk to whomever
is in sudoroom, as well as each other.
presently i'm using this link but that can change if we find something better:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
note: the telescreen in sudoroom is not signed in right now, not sure why but
i'll fix it asap
Hey Sudoers,
I'll be in hosting Open Shop Sunday today from 2 to 6.
If you need access to the space or just like company it's a great time to
come on by!

Hello Sudo Room Folks!
There will be a cute fundraiser gathering happening at Omni 11/11. We would
love it if Sudo Room can create a table to engage participants in peeking
at what cool things happen at Sudo room! Let me know if this is possible
for folks? Otherwise get your tickets and share the event ! :)
We plan to dedicate some time from the event to recognize and appreciate
all the valuable volunteers that steward the Omni!

rid of - would we want/use it?

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about what's happening with Signal. I know many if not
all of you use it, and I do too. But many of my contacts are not using
Signal and are unlikely to change if I ask them to (iPhone people are
especially attached to their Message app I find). So does the change (not
supporting SMS/MMS) mean that I have to abandon Signal altogether? I can't
use two texting apps at the same time can I?
I'd appreciate any advice and recommendations.
thanks
Hilary

Does anyone know what happened to the large free-standing bandsaw? It was
heavy and had a huge motor, and it left in 2020 I think, but I don't remember
where it went. The person who dropped it off in 2018 is asking about it.
It looked like this one, mounted on top of a free-standing steel stand:

For some reason the computer connected to the big screen in sudoroom (the Jitsi
telepresence portal) is not answering ping, does anyone know if something
happened to it?

Hi everyone,
You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss
email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.
Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever,
in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email)
ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area
at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and
textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing
machines available. You're also welcome to bring your own machine to have it
checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently still that
EVERYONE SHOULD WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and
chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
(not working right now but should be fixed tonight)
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!
-jake
