Hi, all. Just wanted to let everyone know that there was a hiccup with the sudoroom mailing lists that caused most (all?) messages since around May 31 to get stuck waiting to be sent out. I've cleared the blockage, so apologies for the small avalance of emails you've just received / are about to receive. I'll be keeping an eye on things, but please send me a direct email if you try to post to a sudoroom.org email list and it doesn't seem to go out in a timely manner (~15 minutes or so). --Sean

Tonight at Sudoroom

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: Here’s some things we might do at Sudoroom tonight: -We have yet another big flat screen TV to work on, a TCL 55C807 Apparently this is a TCL C807 series: on providing power it looks like the panel is working but there’s no video signal except for a patterned horizontal white stripe. Can someone research what might be wrong with it? It’d be great to get at least one of these big displays working so we can telepresence people in to sudoroom, and to build out a large flat screen display practise more generally. -Jonathan from Castro Valley High School will be working on converting a couple of Chromebooks I gave them a while back. I also added a bunch of additional Chromebooks to the cabinet. -We’re going to work on purging some of the laptops in the 2nd cabinet in the aisle alongside CCL) and stage them to be e-wasted: can someone do an e-waste run soon? See you later, -Peter

Fiscal Sponsorship agreement going into effect

by Paige P

Hi everyone, I am a Sudo Room member who has been volunteering a lot in admin work for the last year, and am at least the sudo room president in name. But also I'm on the board for Omni Commons. Omni Commons is still fiscally sponsoring Sudo Room, since Sudo Room isn't yet ready to act as a nonprofit. The planned update to the fiscal sponsorship agreement between Omni Commons and Sudo Room (and the other groups sponsored by Omni) has been decided to go into effect starting June 1st. - The agreed on fee was 8% of total receipts. Here is the document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JeImeQK0ugbb7Ewys5H9mufxyX_NFikeoVr_Rnm… ) - The agreement needed to be updated after the building sale because Omni Common's nonprofit no longer has any income otherwise --- before "fiscal sponsorship fees" were rolled into each sponsored project's rent. Now that Omni no longer owns the building/collects rent, it instead will collect funds through fiscal sponsorship fees. - Funds are needed since Omni Commons still has some debts, and has been paying for Sudo's insurance since the building sale. 8% was chosen as a comparable rate to most organizations providing fiscal sponsorship. Also, since Sudo Room and Free Store have not been making any contributions to the Omni Commons nonprofit, me/Omni's board is also asking if Sudo Room can contribute towards insurance payments since September 2024. I haven't done the accounting on this yet, and we are also waiting to get another insurance refund which will change the amount. I know Sudo Room doesn't have a lot of money coming in so we are more seeking extra donations for this. Tldr: Sudo Room, at least while sponsored by Omni, will need to start keeping track of how much it makes in donations and member fees, and then pay 8% of that back to Omni. Sudo Room is still on the Omni board, so it can join the Omni delegate/board meeting to discuss more! The next one is on June 12th. Paige

OCLP

by Patrick Clawson

This message is for Peter Mui, apologies for spamming the group with a message for a specific person, but I don't have their contact details yet. Hi Peter, This is Patrick Clawson, we met at last week's Tuesday night meeting and you gave me the minimac to get up and running with OCLP. I was reading up on it and one of the draw backs to OCLP is that future upgrades might break the install, requiring another run at it with the OCLP installer. I was reading that non-MacOS installs such as linux are also possible and might not require as many interventions to keep running. I was wondering if you had a specific use in mind for that mac that having macOS running on it is desired, or if the idea is to just get it up and running, OS agnostic? again, apologies for messaging the group as a whole if that goes against the general mailing list etiquette, and I'm happy to take this conversation to a separate email thread if you'd like to send me an email address to use. -- Patrick Clawson zombiebot(a)gmail.com pbclawson(a)gmail.com 510-290-6540

[sudo-info] We'd love to hold a generative-art vibe coding workshop with you (fwd)

by Jake

We recieved this message at the info@ email address... is anyone interested in helping host this event? -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2025 15:04:35 -0700 To: info(a)sudoroom.org Subject: [sudo-info] We'd love to hold a generative-art vibe coding workshop with you Hi there! Two friends and I are interested in holding a short creative workshop (1–3 hours) dedicated to making generative art with “vibe coding” by using free AI tools. The workshop would be like a guided jam session for creativity with p5.js and AI: no coding experience required, just curiosity and a laptop. But coders will also appreciate it, and those that don't code will learn some coding in the process. We'll help participants make animated visuals and explore how simple AI prompts can create surprisingly beautiful results. It's more about the vibe and self-expression than technical perfection—ideal for artists, beginners, and anyone who likes to experiment and play. Timing is flexible. We'd love to do this before May 23 if possible, but if not, we're open to doing it later too.

Chromebook Rescue on BUSD School Board Meeting Agenda Wednesday Night

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: Chromebook Rescue is on the Berkeley Unified School District Board Meeting agenda for approval Wednesday night; it's been years to get to this point: https://simbli.eboardsolutions.com/SB_Meetings/ViewMeeting.aspx?S=36030527&… (For background on Chromebook Rescue see http://bit.ly/cbsave) Chromebook Rescue -- teaching people how to convert Chromebooks and redistributing converted Chromebooks throughout the community -- is one of Sudo Room's/Fixit Clinic's Good Works Community Outreach Projects that coveys digital literacy, digital equity, and digital inclusion. We should soon have lots of Chromebooks to work with so all interested parties are welcome to join the fun. Sudoers have been converting Chromebooks regularly on Mondays at Women / Non-Binary Hack & Do Whatever Night and anyone else is welcome to do this then or at other times as well. Not sure where to start? Convert a Chromebook for yourself to play with (lots of us can help you) and ponder how our communities might be different with essentially unlimited and free laptops available to anyone who can use one. Sincerely, -Peter P.S.: On a related note: Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in October and Fixit Clinic is part of a global initiative to convert Windows 10 devices to alternative OSes too. -p
