So here's a mystery for all you techno-sleuths and scavenger hunt fans: I
just discovered a wall-mounted, old school rotary phone, in a hidden
location in the Omni trash room!
I'm not going to reveal the exact location so as not to deprive you of the
joy of discovering it yourself.
* Does the phone still work?
* What is it connected to? Hotline to the FBI for mob informers?
* What might have been the history of that phone? Did the current trash
room have a different use that might explain the need for a phone there?
* Is there a link to the doorless room in the basement, or the zombie
apocalypse emergency supply closet?
Sooo many questions...

I asked this question some weeks ago, posting again here; is there doc we
can see SudoRoom finances in general (how much $ in memberships/ donations,
etc).
Last time I checked humans.sudoroom.org it seems only members have access
to finances. Is there anywhere else a non-member could check that info? I
think it'd be interesting to have for transparency's sake.
Either way, as I mentioned in my last msg, I'd like to apply for a
membership, so let me know how to do that.

it seems that sudo-access is set to accept emails from non-members and is
forwarding spam which is bad.

Also I need to add someone to the list and i don't see how to do that.

tonight we cut the locks off of the lockers, where the combinations had been
lost.
there are now about six lockers available on the East side of sudoroom, for
members. We have combination locks available too! Please let me know if you
want a lock.
If you take a locker please consider increasing your monthly donation, actually
just consider that anyway because we need more money [citation needed]

Hi! I'm Steve, a local wingnut/author, and friend of Jake who claims
no knowledge of wordpress.
I'm hoping someone can help me with my WordPress site, bradytales.com.
As you can see, the basic list of blog posts is duplicated. I hope to
find someone very familiar with the wordpress system who can make this
go away. Any takers? Thanks!

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 that EVERYONE MUST
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:

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/

chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
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!

Hey everyone!
I almost missed this email because most of the messages received on it are
spam, but it looks like a production company is interested in using the
space as a location for an interview with former google engineer Blake
Lemoine.
You can see my response below. I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be
able to accommodate this request. I also asked if they could check if Blake
wanted to hang around and chat with members. If they decide to go forward I
suggest that we request a voluntary donation in line with typical space
rental fees. Is anyone else interested in possibly meeting with Blake?

To: <info(a)sudoroom.org>, <sudo-discuss-owner(a)sudoroom.org>
Hi there,
we filmed at the counterculture lab a few years ago with Patrik and Josiah
for German public broadcasting cultural TV 3sat (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xflXGdd_n6) and I liked it a lot at the
time.
Now we’re working on a documentary about the developments in AI. I’m
trying to organize an interview with Google engineer Blake Lemoine. He’s
the one who thinks Googles AI has become sentient. I’d like to do the
interview via Skype while I am in Germany and he is in the US. Cameramen
filming on both ends.
Is there a chance for this interview to happen in your sudo-house in
Oakland? It would just be two people: Blake and the camera operator.
The date is set for next Tuesday morning, the 2nd of August at 10:30 am and
won’t take longer than an hour.
Thank you for considering!
Best, Ingolf

Hey everyone!
I have an ornate lamp, where the lights are all inside glass flowers, and a
few of them broke. I'd like to replace them by making a silicone mold of
one of the intact ones and then casting it in resin.
Making the mold seems straightforward, but I've never actually cast resin
before, and I'm looking for advice on what resin to use. The bulbs are
halogen bulbs, so they get fairly hot, and the lamps are pretty close. I'm
guessing that if the resin can withstand 200 F they should be fine.
Does anyone know whether this is feasible? Can anyone recommend a resin
that is clearish and can withstand moderately high heat for long periods of
time?
Here are some pictures. They're not great, but they give you a sense of
what I'm looking to replace: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cPeqyw9ZpQfBufwi9

Hello, sudo room
I am a Student visiting America from South Korea and participating in a George Washington University program for entrepreneurs. My team is researching safe and cost effective filaments for use in 3D pens and printers.
I am writing this email because I would like to talk to you about your experiences with 3D pens and 3D printers.
I know you're busy, but if you have about 15 minutes, I'd like to Zoom meet and hear the details.
please email me back at your convenience.
Thank you.
I saw Juliana build a cool twitterbot!The women's programming night looks like it's going really well.
Andrew has a cool resin sculpture. Would love to see it!
Me, I met some cool people at SudoRoom during hardware hack night. we chatted about Blender and I got to see some other software for light projections, but I'm moving on to a phase where I can create my own 3D models, hopefully to print them out and also animate them. I also started on doing world building in Blender using historical artifacts. There are a lot of 3D scans of historical objects that you can download for free from SketchFab https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/combination-padlock-756916ba62b7489294fc9c8…
SketchFab has a post on all the open access eminent domain 3D models they have been putting up. https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-launches-public-domain-dedi…
I'm excited about NYC next week! I'm going to be hanging out with Mitch who's in town for the HOPE conference.
For fundraising at SudoRoom - so Far I'm thinking the coworking idea, and the study space for UC Berkeley students sounds like a good run.
I guess I should drop in on a meeting one of these days!
https://www.downtownsf.org/events/letsglowsf-2022/
Woo hoo! OK I have been messing around with light projection mappings for a
few months here so far. I got totally distracted with other stuff but now
I'm back on track.
There is now an open call to artists at the Downtown SF Partnership!
https://www.downtownsf.org/events/letsglowsf-2022/
Submissions are due on August 20, 2022 and"Artists’ work will be shown on 1
of 4 buildings that will be projector mapped for 10 evenings from December
2nd – 12th, 2022."
And when I do my submissions I will mention SudoRoom all the way - who
knows, one of them might get in!
Is anyone else at SudoRoom interested as well?

My blender tutorials are progressing nicely. It was worth it to invest the time in only doing blender tutorials - all the other activity has been a big bunch of distractions.
The nice thing is that I’m also up to the point of doing video editing and animations so that’s the big block I had to jump into light projections and augmented reality 🤔
I guess tonight I’ll continue my blender tutorials and erect a “hey we’re learning blender” Project page on SudoRoom !

I am working on these things!

Basically the projection mapping project has become my thing and it's the only thing I'm really focusing on at SudoRoom. I've learned that you do more by doing less! I've gotten off track in the past few weeks.
What are you working on? Or maybe work isn't the right word... having fun and being creative with?
Do you guys all know about the new Parkway theater (www.thenewparkway.com)?
I went there yesterday to see everything everywhere all at once and was
absolutely blown away. The movie was mine blowing, but also the theater is
like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I also noticed that they have a
partnership with food not bombs, which suggests that we have some major
community overlap.
I wanted to make sure that everyone here knows about this place because I
think everyone here would love it, and also because they seem to be
executing a vision that shares similarities to Omni commons, and executing
it really successfully. I’d like to know if anyone from Omni commons is in
communication with whoever runs this theater. If not, we should set up a
meeting asap, because if they have any advice for us it might help save the
building.

Some good vibes: I am focusing a lot more on blender this month.
It’s fun and it’s open source!
I wish I had hunkered down and focused on blender many years ago, especially since I was into 3D printing but it’s never too late
I got to the animation and key frames section. I’m embarrassed I had been using a more expensive pay program to do animation previously but now I’m doing it on open source software
It’s cool, I’m pretty sure I would never have learned this much if I had organized a meetup or taught a class tbh. People in lecture classes don’t really follow through and accomplish stuff so if I do have a blender event it will be a workshop
But what works for you might be the opposite !
What’s your win this month?
