Re: this Sunday outdoor outreach event at noisebridge! Sudoroom should represent

by Romy Ilano

I couldn’t make it to this one but it looks very cool! It’s also rad the sf mission closed the streets to cars 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Looks like it was a lot of moms and kids did anyone take a lot of photographs? Those are usually great for fundraising too bad women who do tons of childcare don’t have time stuff at hackerspaces Did you guys meet any older women whose kids moved out who never fulfilled their potential yet? That would be a cool group of people to talk to Sent from my iPhone

How should we restructure meetings?

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers! It's Wednesday. According to the calendar, Wednesdays at 8 PM are weekly meetings, and most Wednesdays I send out a meeting reminder. After a few really productive meetings earlier in the year, momentum has fallen off. I'd really like to see Sudoroom complete the proposed reopening. It seems to me we're stuck at this liminal space: we've got a lot of awesome creative members and a physical space many hackerspaces would be envious of, but we are struggling to exit the covid posture and address long-standing issues such as facilities upkeep and sufficient revenue generation to avoid shutting down at the end of the year. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to reestablish our momentum? I think we should assemble a team of volunteers motivated to make a 4 week blitz. I think with enough people making one big push we could kick Sudoroom from first gear to second, after which we might be able to create some self-sustaining acceleration in momentum. Thoughts? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Current events

by romy＠snowyla.com

Well in the light of current events, I guess it would be very cool to spearhead some more blatantly feminist and LBGT supportive groups. I would prefer as little involvement in committees as possible! SudoRoom is a hacker's organization LBGT and trans outreach I'm still trying to brainstorm any trans outreach. It's looking bleak. IUD education At the moment it is dangerous even for pregnant women to exist in most of the red states. People could die from ectopic pregnancies at any time. Therefore it is crucial to educate as many young women on how to get an IUD as possible. (Condoms are insufficient) Displaced Homemakers API I am continuing learning back end on helping displaced homemakers. I think this is pretty crucial considering ow many young women enter into marriages and become stay at home moms without understanding the psychological and financial consequences of their decision. It would be very cool for people to also help displaced homemakers as they frequently fall into poverty.

getting creative work done in a bar

by romy＠snowyla.com

I have been having a hard time getting creative work done in hackerspaces lately, as I've mentioned. There always seems to be an agenda completely unrelated to doing cool stuff when I am there, so it's a relief to do cool stuff! Maybe the creative spaces can exist outside of the hackrrspace, in bars? https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52152142782/in/dateposted/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52153391649/in/photostream/ It would be cool to return hackerspaces to places where people can be creative again!

mediawiki underline links?

by Jake

hi, does anyone know how to make it so that the wiki underlines all links? It's nearly impossible to see links without that, unless you really expect people to see the difference between black and dark blue which is ableist. I opened this file but all the things i tried did not do anything to cause links to be underlined. I think both internal and external links should be. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css

FM stereo receiver alignment

by Jake

what specifically is the problem you're encountering? Do you need a stereo transmitter for testing? I might have one or two.... also we have USRPs and transmitting SDRs around, so we could make a signal. Also in sudoroom there is at least one really fancy "arbitrary waveform generator" that you could use to produce a pilot tone, etc... -jake On Mon, 27 Jun 2022, Kent Leech via sudo-discuss wrote: > I’m trying to demystify FM stereo multiplex operation for a vintage Fisher > tube receiver I’m restoring.

Resin 3D printing?

by Marc Juul

Hi sudoers. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in having a 3D resin printing setup at sudo room? I'm thinking one of those ~$200 resin printers, a little wash basin and a UV exposure box. We can probably make the wash basin and UV box ourselves and maybe some of us can contribute a few bucks and split the cost of the printer? I know resin tends to stink and release questionable VOCs into the air, however: I have acquired a tabletop ductless fume hood. It functions by sucking the fumes through a carbon filter. I'd be happy to keep it at sudo room for the resin printing setup. It probably needs a new carbon filter but I got some carbon filter material and plan to simply re-stuff the existing filter cartridge. The hood is 35.5" wide with a 24" tall work area. It looks like this but without the bottom tray: http://acintergroup.com/media/catalog/product/cache/2/image/9df78eab33525d0… I'm thinking we can put it on the white southernmost table behind the laser cutter? Maybe a front-opening printer like this one would be appropriate? https://www.anycubic.com/products/photon-mono-se-lcd-3d-printer?variant=358… If this happens I'd like to keep access to the printer and a small supply box locked off unless folks have been checked out on usage of the printer since it's easy to permanently destroy these by not cleaning off the resin and letting the sun's UV harden it. Folks from CCL might also be interested since resin is generally autoclavable and more chemical resistant than what can be done with the melty-type printers. Anyone interested enough to help buy such a thing? -- marc/juul

sudoroom/omni needs an email admin to help reduce spam

by Jake

I am on a few of the email mailinglists on the omnicommons/sudoroom servers, and we've been getting a lot more spam in the last year. I am concerned that this is ranking down the credibility of our server, and resulting in more of the emails coming from our lists being sent into people's spam folders. Is anyone available to help install and configure spam filters on our mailinglists so that we can stop sending out spam? Our email lists are an important way for our communities to function, but they're useless if they just get spam-canned at the receiving end. -jake

women's coding group - creating a displaced homemaker api

by romy＠snowyla.com

wow i'm embarrassed but i've never coded a back end api. i think i will tackle that project. the theme will be displaced homemakers and resources to help them. also there will be books such as "The feminine mistake" to help younger women and men not make the choice to become stay at home wives to avoid the displaced homemaker catastrophe https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/dislocated-worker <- starting here. I guess how should we organize the resources?

hello again, & laser cutter concerns

by Delta Ark

👋 hi everyone, I'm starting to work at sudo again (after a very long hiatus) (mostly evenings, 6-12, m-f). I'm currently working on some game, ai and architecture stuff, you can see it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CelEcmAlsaq/ Very pumped to get back in the space and see what people are working on and doing. Nonetheless, I have some concerns about the laser cutter. Today, the laser cutter was being used, and, well, it, to my mind, smelled up sudo pretty significantly. I think you could also even smell out in the hall. I guess what I'd like to know is (a.) can we prevent this somehow? and/or (b.) can we have a laser cutter moratorium until we know why this is happening? I could be wrong, but I believe that improper ventilation of a laser cutter can be both long-term toxic and even short term life-threatening (if someone is cutting something really wacky, which I don't think is what was happening today; I think someone was just cutting wood, hopefully not laminated in any weird way). Anyway, yeah, I have to defer to people smarter than me on the above, but something was off today in the way the machine was working (this was about 6pm); and, personally, I found it kind of spooky. Thanks for your thoughts/help/ideas/etc. Best, AK -- Ari Kalinovski (They/Them) Delta Ark Studios <http://delta.center/>

finally getting on blender!

by romy＠snowyla.com

I finally got through my blender learning tutorial. I think I'll write a guide in comic book form eventually for people starting out. The biggest inhibitors... - for Macs, you need a special mouse. that costs about a $100 - the GUI sucks. going from command line to GUI is awful. It happens with IDEs - finding a like minded community with my values that I identify with, especially women! - I have been having a hard time doing creative work at hackerspaces lately. there always seems to be an agenda to do stuff that is not creative. It's not anyone's fault, I guess they are trying to raise funds and stuff. Eventually hackerspaces can return to becoming cool places to do creative work again once this madness is over. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/52152056017/in/dateposted/ ^^^ So ta-da problem solved! I did blender tutorial with a group of like minded people who encourage freedom and diversity! =D Blender is very hard to learn together though. It's totally boring at first. I'm wondering how we could incorporate this into an async learning group in Blender. The tutorials are excruciatingly boring and the software has a high learning curve. 3D graphics software creates RSI in general. I was thinking of how I could made any blender projects related to creative work at SudoRoom. Maybe it would be around the robot arm art https://github.com/sudoroom/robot-arm-art
