blog post - sudoroom hardware hack night and why we love it!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/why-we-love-sudoroom-hardware-hack-night/ I think basically there is no such thing as radio shack or the weird stuff warehouse in sunnyvale anymore. everything is online except for weird holdouts like the SudoRoom hardware hack night. so now a blog post about that! it's just nice to be tactile and talk in person. It's like going to a library . imagine how horrible it would be if there were only ebooks and no more physical books! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

New equipment: Homer the light projector and Fabian the silver screen!

by Romy Ilano

Going forward, I'm going to anthropormorphize the heck out of all our cool equipment! The silver screen is named Fabian, and the light projector is named Homer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping#Equipment I think I'm going to do a series of interviews where I talk to each equipment piece and ask them about their lives, their power equipment and how we can connect to them and do weird projects. And then a "person on the street" type deal where I interview various SudoRoom members and ask them what cool things we could do with each piece! Anyway Fabian the silver screen is totally silver! and according to Jake we can do real 3D movie son him! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

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 4-10 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's 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 need to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, 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

drawing projection at omnicommons

by Romy Ilano

https://youtu.be/Tolft9ONZw0 Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help! I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool! https://flic.kr/p/2n7GRgT https://flic.kr/p/2n7FkGd ^^^ So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested. The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!

updates on the sudoroom calendar- adding bike parties (so many opportunities fro collaboration!)

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people! - the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open! lots of taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate - the east bay bike party (which is this friday)! https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/ - the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and start messing around with cool designs. - there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay richmond) at this event - multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of opportunities to play with mobile light projections - the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the evening it will be fun ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Potential SudoRoom @ the April Noisebridge party fundraiser?

by Romy Ilano

Chatting with Noisebridge - They're having their stupid hackathon in April (4/1-3 ) and there's going to be a lot of fun! https://www.noisebridge.net/images/5/51/NB14posterV4.jpg They're interested in doing light projection mapping for the Noisebridge event, but also showing SudoRoom history and fundraising as well. I can imagine so many cool ways to use light projection mappings with artists at this party! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

generic immersive rooms

by Romy Ilano

Thinking a lot about museum exhibits. I mean this stuff is sort of out of this world and too advanced for most of us now, but it would be really fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhdM_xIzqLU Really enjoyed seeing Carl's art in the OmniCommons ballroom. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917779157/in/dateposted/ How do we integrate music into this too? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Light projection mapping progress - finally moving forward!

by Romy Ilano

I got a lot of help from sudoroom members with the light projection mapping ideas. Also from Noisebridge! So far a lot of stuff online is people using really nice larger projectors, and there's a lot of great sophistication with mapping beforehand, especially in Blender, etc. But after chatting with folks, I'm taking the route first with small handheld laser projectors that hook up easily to smartphones and tablets or can take SD cards. The small projectors have been a good choice to get people excited. It's a lot more spontaneous. THere's just something about hooking up a laptop to a huge projector, being stuck at the back of room etc., but with the hand held projectors I can go anywhere and manipulate the images manually without having to make fancy graphics and videos - Marc discussed mounting the projectors onto bicycles - both projectors have mounts or have threaded quarter inch? inserts common to cameras, and I'm fairly confident I can put them on my goPro style mounts with some work. Aiming maybe for the next East Bay Bike Party which is March 11 (Friday night) - oh ya marc I still have your camera mount on wood for the stand will bring it back Sunday or Tuesday is that OK! - Carl G from SudoRoom has some projects he made for pixel art - we projected onto the movable walls in the sudoroom ballroom. Since it was so dark we were able to get a decent size (the walls) and there was a lot of energy and excitement! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917779157/in/photostream/ Even nicer, I have been trying to get my regular cartoonist drawing group that meets wednesdays to get involved and even hang out at SudoRoom and omnicommons. They're just very clever and focus a lot on animation and cartoons! I finanlly got the projector working and was projecting Brian Kolm's crazy cat onto the wall, a bowl and on a spinning lazy susan. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917436165/in/dateposted/ Even in he brightly lit movie theater (new parkway) the cartoonists got realy excited! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51917144029/in/photostream/ A lot of people are really into Hayao Miyazaki and theme park rides. I mean we aren't going to attempt this yet without asking, but what is the next step from immersive light projection rooms in the Omni Commons Ballroom? Imagine a guided ride in a wheeled cart right? wouldn't that be super fun? Hmmm!!!!! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Meeting Summary

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudo. Here're the minutes from tonight's meeting, along with the TL;DR: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting-keep Reopening After some quieter months, Sudo's getting more active. Reopening isn't going to entail any single change, just a continuation of the recent bloom in activity. Expect to see more events, more communication on social media, and more new faces. (Social media links here: https://twitter.com/sudoroom/ https://www.instagram.com/sudohuman/) Clean-up This too is gradual, but Mark would like to hold a cleaning day on Sunday, March 13th from 1 PM onward. If you're eager to clear some space for a project or decorate a bit, don't be shy: step up and offer to help Mark on the 13th. Alternatively, be the change you wanna see. Jake hauled off hundreds of pounds of Ewaste this week. He can give you the address if anyone else wants to do the same. Events (https://sudoroom.org/calendar/) ~~ Tuesdays: Hardware Hacking from 7 PM ~~ Wednesdays: Sudo Meeting @ 8 PM ~~ Thursdays: Javascipt coding night >> Sunday, March 13th @ 1 PM: Clean-up day *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Telegraph for People - Details

by Romy Ilano

Thinking about projects in micro mobility and change management for Americans. How do we get people who drive cars to walk as much as people who take subways? Make safer biking paths? Remove easy parking and encourage car drivers to park and walk or take a bike share Most people don’t want to live in strip mall friendly places anymore Along with light protection mapping this is another cool topic of my time at SudoRoom!! https://www.telegraphforpeople.com/312-rally/details Sent from my iPhone

meeting notes ideas - probably throw in a visual map sometime

by Romy Ilano

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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/albums/72157657512309555 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 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
