I know that people are working on a replacement for sudo-humans but maybe we
should fix this anyway until that's ready?
thank you

Congrats on forwarding this person's phone number to a public list and

yes...
also if you have a hacker space that wants to get a stash of ancient computers
from the 70's on, I'm dismantling them for gold right now.
one of them was used by professor Erhlich (population bomb) that had a whopping
5 megabyte hard drive that cost $5k

I can't always drop by the meetings (they conflict with my drawing group
nights and I tend to sleep early). But I'd like to come by one idea. It's
not very original, but just condense the discussion into a big drawing of
what we're doing and what we're aspiring to. I think even if it sounds
corny or almost like a powerpoint even the administrative stuff like
cleaning and management can be fun.
Oh here's a blast from the past - anthony repetto was a mathematician guy
who hung out at SudoROom, I remember he drew a big math formula on the
sidewalk near SudoROom and we photographed it.

things like this are always so fun! its' a nice way of viewing math, I
think this would be a fun candidate for more of the light projection
experiments. So instead of chalk we could draw a math equation or animation
on the ground...
heh time to learn blender finally

I got this idea to do light projection mappings. There's a lot of inspiring
stuff out there, and the last few weeks I've been at SudoRoom there's just
a lot of work around trying to figure out what equipment to get, what
creative ideas to get. It's been really fun.
I thought I'd share some sketches from my notebooks, because I'm just doing
lots of planning right now and bouncing ideas.
- * Starting small - There are a lot of possibilities but it's really
good to start small. I chatted with Marc + others about using portable pico
projectors to mount on bicycles for the bike party rides and at cosplay
events. Someone even mentioned having a projector in a wand!
- so many opportunities to craft a cool mount
- Making more of an effort to "cross fertilize" with the cool artists
that are still in Oakland. For example I was at the Drink and Draw at the
New Parkway (unfortunately happens on wednesday night meetings for me) and
ran into folks from the Rock Paper Scissors Collective (they're back) and a
lot of cartoonists! I wish I had gotten more of their art (i'll get it)
- For interacting with other artists, it'd probably fun to build a small
"Stage" with foamboard similar to what you see at science fair projects.
Came up with the idea for a small puppet theater
- Eventually would love to move to immersive environments (an entire
room). people love taking selfies in these places
I'd like to move to Blender eventually and make very sophisticated
experiments but it's good to do stuff off the wall and freehand using very
old projectors or my hand held pico projectors.
There are a lot of cool video and visual artists who have experimented with
light projections going way back into the 1970s and 1990s even, and while
the technology is important (man so many different cable formats to review
this month) it's really about what's presented and what you're trying to
get across. I'd like to do very technology-obvious projects but have been
making a point to look at indonesian and japanese puppetry as well.
As we jam we can involve more and more projectors and do really elaborate
things. It's just a matter of time and learning blender. I think it'd be
good to poopulate with the sudoroom blog wit the creative process as we
aren't just our stuff and classes, but also a creative space to highlight
the process of making something cool.
So this notebook will be part of it!
OK enough random thoughts. Maybe we can have our version of 5 minutes of
fame and do a show and tell!

Over the years I have removed 30 contractor bags of electronic waste from sudo room.
Sudo is now once again full, with every table obscured by it.
I’ve tried to say that electronics donations are great, as long as we have intention for what to do with them, a place for the stuff we want, and a process for immediately getting rid of what we don’t want. But, this is not what we are experiencing.
I’m no longer strong enough to keep cleaning up, and some of the e-waste that shows up is genuinely dangerous, like a UV laser that appears to have given me vascular tumors.
Appear benign, but, punching a hole in my genome has really kicked my survival instinct into high gear and I don’t want anything to do with e waste anymore.
We need a new plan…
-Joule (Adam)
Come celebrate twosday 2/22/22 with some hardware hacking at sudo room
tonight!
We'll be starting at 6pm and going until at least 22:22
You can also poke your virtual head into the space using:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
Reminder that Omni is still requiring masks
See you tonight!

Hey all,
I want to make JS Thursdays a thing again for Sudoroom. Could folks help me
to get the word out and/or help me run it? I figure I'll go to the space
each Thurs evening and be available virtually for people who can't be there
in person. The intention of this will be to help people who are learning
JavaScript or working on some JS project that they'd like help with. If
anyone has tips or can assist in any way I'd appreciate it!
Thanks,
Charles
I'm out of town this week, so I won't be in the space on Tuesday or Wednesday.
does someone else want to host Tuesday?

hello fellow sudoroom members and friends,
TL;DR: I am Sudoroom's delegate to Omni Commons and I have been representing
our collective will regarding Omni Commons collective decisions. Get involved.
Come to sudoroom meetings Wednesdays and consider serving as one of our delegates.
last omni commons meeting notes:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2022/02/17_Delegates
----
I have been serving as sudoroom's "delegate" to the Omni Commons delegate's
meetings which happen on the first and third Thursdays of each month.
The next delegate's meeting is March 3rd as seen on the calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/omni-general-assembly-4-2022-03-03/
since Sudoroom meetings have been sparsely attended and informal, I have had to
represent our position on issues in an ad-hoc way based on what I thought we
would want if we had discussed things as a collective. This is not the way it
should be, but Omni needs to keep functioning even though Sudoroom is not
running at full speed yet.
If you are part of sudoroom, please come to meetings, and help spread the word
before meetings, so that more people show up. Meetings will need a facilitator
at least, and someone will have to take notes onto the wiki. If you want a
wiki login so you can do this, click here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount
If you want to learn how this process works, explore the following link and
then ask questions on this list: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meetings
there's mention of the fact that we don't publicly post our meeting scratchpad
URL anymore, because there were trolls in the past. Hopefully the trolls all
died or found whatever they were missing in life, but the point is that the
links to the notes will be in the video chat that we all meet in, so we don't
have to deal with that (hopefully).
The emails that go out every week to remind us all about the meeting will
contain the link to the video chat, which will probably be the same thing we've
been using for the telescreen. So ideally, you join the meeting from your
computer (or in person at sudoroom) so that you can have the chat open as well
as a window where you're looking at the notes (or editing them) to follow
what's going on.
see you wednesday at the meeting, if not sooner!

Last night we had new people visiting, a surprise visit from folks who
haven't been around in a long time _and_ a bunch of great donations of all
kinds of components, microcontrollers and random useful bits (that have
mostly been sorted into bins).
We have at least one new potential member to formalize as an actual member
and a bunch of updates on improvements that have been happening in sudo
room, and the greater Omni, so come hang out!

Went on the east bay bike ride and kept thinking of more cool ideas with projectors - like some kids said why not bike and aim the laser visual at the ground? It’d be very pretty mixed in with movement
I like my small projectors it’s cool! Psyched to get started 😸

Hey everyone,
How was last night's meeting? I wanted to declare my intent to join and
discuss ways I can get started volunteering on any ongoing projects, but I
didn't get on until after it ended. So I'll drop my info here so everyone
can look it over before next week's meeting.
First, here's my new sudohumans profile:
https://humans.sudoroom.org/~andrewrgross
*Declaration of Intent to Join*
*Who I am*
My name is Andrew R Gross ("R" is my full middle name) and I'm a
politically conscious hacker and maker who just moved to Oakland from Los
Angeles.
*Why I want to join*
I'm looking for many things that I've gotten from previous experiences with
makerspaces: companionship; a rich well of technical expertise from which
to learn and contribute; an organizing structure in which to effectively
execute complex projects; and access to tools.
*What I'm excited to do*
I'm excited to use the laser cutter and the 6-axis arm, as well as to be a
part of something I have the power to improve through my volunteership.
*What I'm excited to share*
What I'd like to share is my time and my energy, as well as my unique
perspective (unique in the sense that we're all unique: my perspective
isn't uniquely valuable relative to anyone else's). I like to clean and to
organize group projects. I like to pay forward to others the good vibes and
support I've been fortunate to receive.
*References*
Anyone interested in getting to know me should contact CRASHSpace
hackerspace in LA <https://blog.crashspace.org/>, where I've been an active
member in good standing for a while. You can send an email to the general
mailbox <https://blog.crashspace.org/contact/> or just drop into the email
discussion list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crashspace> to ask
for general impressions about me.

OK I'm just starting the inkling of doing cool stuff with light
projections. Got tons of assistance from Ian with a stronger projector - I
actually just enjoyed pointing the projector manually versus making
something overly involved in Blender (Blender is not very intuitive and I
think even when i know all the keystrokes it would be hard to have the same
spirit)

I think I want to go all in on Blender (maybe i"m just lazy and hate
pointing and clicking) but also draw on other art forms like indonesian
puppets

We also checked out the sudoroom ballroom and there are a lot of ways to
create an immersive room because there are galleries with movable walls.
I'm pretty excited! i also bought my own mini projector... imagining a
whole fleet of artists with their own mini projectors running around
projecting on canvases, just creating this little world with all their
art 😎

OK so I'm thinking about this projection mapping project, where I project
cartoons and other art from a portable projector onto 3D models / forms /
mannequins.
Started a wiki page! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping
--
We have very good quality (relatively) visual projectors at both
Noisebridge and Sudoroom
However, I'm wondering if I should invest in a cheapie projector because
that would give me more mobility. Then I could projection map at
skateparks, he omni commons, and have more than one projector projecting
around a large room.
This wouldn't be quite the equipment I need to recreate something as crazy
as the Van Gogh limestone exhibits in France (there's one in SF right now
too) but something truly fun would be a lot of little projectors!
What are some good starting off points and open source projects around
projection mapping?

Any tips for portable tool storage?
I just started working in field engineering for lab equipment, and I'm
trying to pick out the most functional (and coolest) tools organization.
I know one guy with a big bike-bag full of smaller loose tool bags, and one
guy with a soft toolbox. I'm thinking I'd like a tool backpack, or possibly
some tool rolls.
My tool kit isn't going to need to be super extensive: a bunch of allen
wrenches and screw drivers, some pliers and snips, a little bottle of
machine oil and a brush, etc.. But I'd like to have some room to expand. It
would also be cool to have some modularity. Again, the tool set is basic
electronics servicing stuff.
What do you guys think? Again, I want something light and practical, but
I'm definitely considering cool-factor too.
