Summary of Last Week's meeting (We have a lot of stuff under consideration)

by Andrew R Gross

Hi everyone! Last week's meeting was a big one: we have two Sudoroom proposals, four new member applications, and an Omni Commons Proposal under consideration. (Meeting notes are available here <https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting-keep>) Each of these will get their own email so that the conversations don't get crossed, and then all concerns expressed will be addressed at the next meeting (on Weds. 4/13 at 8 PM!). If you have any questions about the consideration and consensus process, share them in this email. Here is a list of everything under consideration: 1) Community Liberation Programs has applied to join Omni Commons. 2) I'd like to establish a statement of purpose and code of conduct 3) I'd like to establish working groups for critical functions 4) Arthur has applied for Sudoroom membership 5) Eva has applied for Sudoroom membership 6) PWM has applied for Sudoroom membership 7) PB has applied for Sudoroom membership Please share your thoughts on these in their email chains and come to next week's meeting (Wednesday, April 13th from 8 PM - 9 PM) to revise, reject, or adopt these proposals. Cheers, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 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 of any means you can invoke. 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 the telescreen. 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 soon after 6pm. 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 after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate 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, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: 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

ok hear me out this idea is cheesy

by Romy Ilano

OK hear me out -- this idea is super cheesy but as I become middle aged (have been) I've been going to a lot of interior design spaces as I populate my yuppie apartment. what do you guys think of making an experimental interior design/ museum display section at SudoRoom. It could be someone practicing the craft of interior design alongside a bookcase with "member recommended" books or a weird ancient electronics equipment where someone writes a cool history. surely there are people who do interior design that are creative but don't want to make stuff that's mass market. Usually the folks who do something creative have to design stuff for rich people. This is the kind of stuff cool rich people would order: https://www.roche-bobois.com/en-US/mag/bubble-design-sacha-lakic.html surely there must be a way to make fun spaces in a cheap way. This could even be a space for set designers, the kind of people who work in theater. Hmm... I mean ok this idea is very labor intensive but maybe I can try to give a spin at it. It would maybe not even be about interior design but more about designing museum installation art. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

help! network is down at Omni!

by Jake

the front door computer is unreachable, because some network switch between it and the server is not working right i guess... either one of the switches upstairs (in the "public computer lab") or something in the network cage. I had to leave before i was able to figure out what was wrong and I can't access the front door computer from theh network, so I don't know whether card access will work although now that i think about it, it probably does work. the wifi was being really really really slow tonight (thursday night) and Arthur and I were trying to figure out what was wrong, and Yar and Marc helped remotely, but we never figured out where the problem was, and I didn't realize until i had to leave that the front door computer is entirely inaccessible. $ ping 100.64.64.11 "No route to host" even though i power cycled it and it's getting a link light. I don't actually know where the other end of its ethernet cable is but since the front door computer is important to security and accessibility, this worries me. Can someone who understands the building's network please try to fix this ASAP? -jake

video light projection project - a side branch would be to discuss different video standards and the history of the industry?

by Romy Ilano

I was at Noisebridge recently pondering if I'll participate in the Noisebridge anniversary party with the light projections. We have a big old light projector - I'm trying to figure out if something is worth doing that makes sense, I think the entire experimentation aspect would be the most fun part of it! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51941087886/in/dateposted/ Anyway I hung out with some cool people from Boston (we really need to connect with New England more) and we started discussing the history of light projectors and all the different standards. I also use a discontinued light projector that is one of the best of its kind in the small range, but it was stopped because I guess the price point was too high, the software sucked (it's a Korean company SK Telecom , why do they often make the best hardware but the worst software? quite tragic. maybe ux and software engineering is undervalued at large engineering companies all over the world????) Thought that this would be a good side discussion on different video standards. - why did some standards fail - why did some standards succeed - which products were great but became (maybe unfairly) failed products due to market timing, evil forces (monopolies bad software) I guess this would go under a general computer history talk at sudoroom some evenings ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

next hardware hacking Tuesday - vision board madness

by Romy Ilano

OK for the next tuesday I'm going to create a full on vision board of my projects so far at sudoroom and noisebridge - what am i doing and what do i want to accomplish? - What have i learned so far? - what projects will i focus on for the future? I am having so much fun with the light projection mapping projects, half the fun is just messing around and being way more spontaneous than is usually possible in an art project https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51965423838/in/dateposted/ I think my big goal is to create something finished that can be filmed that will get other people excited to create and to use sudoroom equipment ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Scraping paint off windows

by Marc Juul

Hi sudoers! We had an unfortunate incident with the new protective coating on our roof where the roof windows got coated as well. It's some latex type substance and CCL tells us it isn't too difficult to get off. Is anyone up for helping with a couple of hours of scraping tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 pm to 5 pm? I'll bring scrapers and we'll lay down some 2x4s across the windows so people be in danger of falling through the glass. -- marc/juul
