Getting the sudoroom GitHub a new light projection mapping repo

by Romy Ilano

This should be holding files, possibly code? i'm not sure that can't get up on the wiki https://github.com/sudoroom/Light-projection-projects disclosure - i think i hacked the sudoroomgithub io a few years ago, so it has this gross slider - was that me? http://sudoroom.github.io probably will redo it! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

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

JavaScript Thursdays tonight!

by Charles Hughes

Hey all! I will be hosting JavaScript Thursdays tonight! Come on down for some JS fun. See the blurb below: You are invited to attend JavaScript Thursdays at Sudoroom! We will gather online/in-person from 6pm to 9pm every thursday! JavaScript Thursdays at Sudoroom is a space where people can come and receive individualized help with learning JavaScript in whatever way best serves them. We can pair program on a new project, fix a bug together, talk about different aspects of the language or its associated libraries/frameworks, or whatever else. Your host is Charles Hughes. I have been a full time JS developer in the bay area for over eight years. I have expertise in many JS technologies including React, Redux, Angular, Node, Ramda, Apollo, D3, TypeScript, and more. I am a white, assigned male at birth, non-binary person with class privilege. I welcome and encourage people to call me in. Javascript Thursdays strives to be a welcoming, inclusive, anti-racist space for people of all races, genders, orientations, and abilities. The safety of marginalized people will be prioritized. 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) 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! We don’t always hear the doorbell. 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! To keep up to date with sudoroom, join the mailinglist! https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ donate to sudoroom monthly by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans If you want to make a one-time donation: https://sudoroom.org/donate Join us virtually here: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles There is a TV with a camera in Sudoroom that will turn on automatically when you join!

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

hey i noticed that the "# of subscribers" and "newest message date" fields on this wiki page are not updating: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Email_Lists does anyone know how to fix this?

[omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom people!! As Sudoroom's delegate to the Omni Commons it's my job to report back the collective will of Sudoroom regarding important topics like: new members of the Omni Commons! CLP is applying and we, Sudoroom, have to decide how we feel about them joining the commons. In two weeks, the delegates' meeting will happen and I will be asked to report the position of Sudoroom. If we don't figure that out in an email thread or at a sudoroom meeting, i will have to make something up! Yet another reason to attend our awesome Sudoroom meetings on Wednesday evenings at 8PM, on Jitsi or in person at the space! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 22:24:23 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com Subject: [omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro Hi all, I'm forwarding this to omni's "consensus" list because it's a proposal that affects the whole community! I think CLP would be great as a new member collective at omni. They are paying $200 for their current 10x10 storage unit and are willing to pay omni the same for relatively unsecured space in the basement, which is totally reasonable - generous even! They would also bring in an active community of volunteers, which would be huge for omni. Meeting Billy and Rafiq this weekend was a pleasure. It looks like there are now several new member collective proposals in the pipeline, which is awesome! I hope that we can use this opportunity to practice onboarding new groups in a way that is as frictionless and accessible as we can, and also invite this potential new generation of omni member collectives to co-create the process alongside us. Our next delegates meeting is in ~2 weeks, April 7th. Typically for important proposals (like a new member collective), we would have one meeting to discuss details, give delegates another 2 weeks to bring the proposal for discussion among their groups, and then come back for (hopefully) full consensus at the next meeting, which would be April 21st. I think it'd be great for folks to have conversations and ask questions in the meantime so that we can all be prepared for the big meetings once they happen. Thanks all :D ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: deskhandle via commons <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Date: Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 2:00 PM Subject: [omni-commons] WCK/CLP intro To: commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com <Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com> Hey everyone, this is Billy with Community Liberation Programs, formerly known as Worker's Community Kitchen. We are a socialist organization that creates dual power programs in partnership with community members. Currently we have a water delivery/ unhoused encampment commissary program as well as a community garden program both in Hayward. We have a program in Berkeley which works directly with the community at People's Park to organize crucial material support and gear up in defense of the upcoming eviction. We also have a reading group starting in the SF Mission as a preliminary step to bring folks together for a new program forming there, and another working group investigating a new program centered in Oakland Chinatown. We are really excited to be invited to join the new phase at the Omni and are particularly looking forward to supporting fund raising efforts through event planning. We were already working on creating a summer film series as a fund raising event for our organization and it seems aligned to use this as an opportunity to support the Omni as well. Additionally, we were told that we could potentially move some stuff around in the area pictured below to take up a roughly 10 x 10 space for our storage. Currently we have a storage unit in Berkeley so we'd love to move that over here and start being in the space more regularly! We can send a delegate to the regular meetings and are ready to start event planning! I have CC'd the primary CLP email address to make sure it is put in the communication loop! All the best! Billy

Light projection rooms

by Romy Ilano

So at this stage I sent out plans to cool artists The Omni ballroom is ideal for light projection room environments https://www.flickr.com/gp/miromi/25u9SM Just sharing some plans!these would be ideal for pepppe to take selfies in similar to a museum and I’m wondering how to figure audio into this What’s really nice is that while there are commercial free ish mobile phone apps for distorting the projectors for these light projections it’s not too difficult to build our own ! These rooms could rotate and have stories and be immersive plays or informational stuff and even gasp educational 😎 Sent from my iPhone
