I don’t know if we could call this marketing, but there are a lot of private venture funded social spaces popping up. Being biased I find ours is much more genuine and interesting.

I just sent a notice to the SF Shut up and write group

by Romy Ilano

https://www.meetup.com/shutupandwritesfo/ I just sent a notice to the SF shut up and write group. Our space would be ideal for this kind of event! I can also note that we have tons of food in walking distance nearby! I'm actually pretty busy this month so this wouldn't start for a while, but let's get the ball rolling --- Hey folks - at the SudoRoom hackerspace in Oakland Temescal (next to the MacArthur BART) we have a lot of creative events. I'd be interested in hosting an in-person shut up and write alongside an online event. We have the gear to share to televise the live space. It's a big creative hackerspace with a sewing / materials workshop downstairs. There are also robots and electronics equipment as well. Thursdays, Sundays and Fridays are open https://sudoroom.org ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

should we reach out to shut up and write to bring more arts to the space?

by Romy Ilano

I discovered that there are "hackerspaces for writers" in San Francisco https://www.pagestreet.org I go to a lot of "Shut up and Write" events - wouldn't it be cool to bring the shut up and write folks to SudoRoom? I'll get on top of this once I get a job, prioritizing coding interviews and don't have much time lately ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

[sudo-info] New maker event in the Bay Area looking for cool projects

by Jake

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Caleb Kraft <caleb(a)opensauce.com> To: info(a)sudoroom.org Subject: [sudo-info] New maker event in the Bay Area looking for cool projects I'm Caleb Kraft, you might remember me from the last 10 years at Maker Faire. I've just left Make to help grow a new event that has a ton of overlap. You can find it at OpenSauce.com. Basically, back in 2019 when Maker Faire died for a while, we started brainstorming what a new event could be, mashing up our favorite parts of Maker Faire and Vidcon. OpenSauce was born. Tons of maker booths and a stage packed with folks you will recognize. We don't have a blog or magazine though, so getting the word out to get people to come show off requires a bit more of a personal touch. The event is in mid June. Do you all have anything fun you'd like to exhibit? -- Thanks for your time, Caleb Kraft

Tomorrow Free Film Screening at Omni "Israelism" 5pm to 9pm!!

by Z Silver Zahn

Free film screening at Omni on 3/31 5pm to 9pm Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bondvm3hvGM 5:00 doors open 5:30-7 screening 7:00-9 optional facilitated social space address - 4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland CA. RSVP with this link -------> RSVP LINK <https://partiful.com/e/LXDxBLiXBp8gsG7eVMAt?fbclid=IwAR2NA7IRRujeWYJ_-ykRbf…> This is a documentary about Zionism, and how the ongoing colonization and genocide of Palestinian people is whitewashed and sold to young American Jews. It exposes the brainwashing, the army recruitment, and predatory tactics such as youth groups, propaganda campaigns, and Birthright Israel. It also highlights the growing movement of anti-Zionist Jews opposing Israel’s colonial project and standing in solidarity with Palestinians. After the movie, we will hold an optional facilitated social space for people to process, learn, and have deeper conversations about the topic. Our goal is to collectively unlearn Zionist ideas and biases, to reflect on our various relationships to Israeli fascism, and to hopefully better prepare ourselves to take action in the movement for a free Palestine. People of all backgrounds encouraged to attend! You don’t need to be Jewish, SWANA or anything else to unlearn Zionism. It has touched all our lives.

Repair registrant for tonight

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: Erica from Oakland has signed up for tonight's Software and Hardware Hack Night with these two items: 1 Shop vac Craftsman CMXEVBE17250 It stopped working. I think it worked too hard to pull air through a clogged filter. 2 Small air purifier Germguardian AC4100 It smelled and then stopped working. I think the off-brand filter I bought didn’t let enough air through. Please give Erica a warm Sudorom / Omni Commons welcome; we typically have many drop-ins who don't register and just show up. In general you can check on preregistered items on this master Google Sheet, scroll to the bottom to see the Sudoroom registrations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14lNfR1scJ53z3UUWgPSR8V4fdN063md6QfB… *✓ *Can someone who arrives early put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign outside? *✓ *Can someone make sure the sandwich sign gets back inside about 11PM?

So what are you hacking on this week?

by Romy Ilano

I have decided to focus on doing hacker projects at SudoRoom, and I hope to have a weekly email thread on what you have accomplished this week. - Moi, I've focused a lot on Augmented Reality lately. Still thinking about creative ways to involve light projection projects and augmented reality with the new headsets. - I'll have more time to hack once my job interviews are over. What have you done this week? == About priorities == Me, I realized that I spent a lot of time socializing, doing social media, and even running meetups and classes, but that's not really what I'm made to do. Leading classes, doing administrative work, posting photos on social media... that's not my main focus. I'm made to hack and be creative! So all of my involvement in SudoRoom is strictly around doing cool, creative hacking projects. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Sudoroom Meeting/Party tonight

by Jake

meeting tonight! It will be fun and then there will be cake! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2024 14:57:28 -0800 (PST) From: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> To: sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org Subject: Sudoroom Meeting/Party tonight Hi everyone! We didn't have very good attendance at the last meeting, and I can understand why - meetings can be annoying, boring, or even unpleasantly dramatic. Nobody wants that! Things are better these days, and we have the potential for Sudoroom and Omni to grow into even better things than they ever have before. But we need to meet up and talk about things, and encourage each other to participate in whatever ways we can. Just showing up to the meeting is really helping!

Cleaning up, organizing, and even making things or collaborating on things, or playing with the synthesizer, are all options before and after the meeting, and to an extent even during the meeting! So if you have a chance, please show up at Sudoroom meetings, whether in-person or virtually. This is how we build community and keep the project going. Tonight at 7PM!

Re: [sudo-info] Trippy LED glasses project

by Jake

Hi Dylan, yes we have a bunch of Trip glasses! Like as reviewed here: https://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/11/07/trip-glasses-review/ here is the original page about them: https://web.archive.org/web/20160309183257/http://cornfieldelectronics.com/… they originally run on a coin-cell battery but because they were manufactured with counterfeit CPUs, they don't properly shut off and then the battery gets drained. So they need to be powered with other batteries, such as a pair of AA batteries in an enclosure with an on/off switch. I can help you fix them up! How many pairs do you want? I'll be there Tuesday night at around 7:30 and can meet you there -jake On Mon, 11 Mar 2024, Dylan Earp wrote: > Hi there! > > My housemate and I are doing a DIY sensorium for our kooky commune this > Saturday night.

“I think a lot of people see a broken thing and they just think it’s broken. It could be anything… …But when we see a broken thing, we think, Oh, with a little something here and a little something there, we can fix the part that’s broken and make things whole again. It’s difficult work but no matter what, you do whatever it takes because It is one of the best things that humans do.” Bravo!

Dear Sudoroom, we are going to be asked to agree to this proposal being made by the Media Lab people downstairs, to expand in the proposed ways and pay more rent. please read about this and prepare for discussion at the next sudoroom meeting -jake ---------- forwarded message from consensus list -------------- Helloooo Omni, Attached, you will find a new proposal outlining our plans for Sacred Makers Arts Collective to expand our rental space into the basement. In recent months, our team has dedicated significant effort to cleaning and organizing the space, clearing away accumulated items to activate the area effectively. Currently, we pay $800 per month for the sewing zone and screen print zone. With our expansion plans, we aim to introduce a looming zone and a jewelry-making zone, utilizing the proposed spots as indicated in the attached layout. Additionally, we seek one lockable room to secure valuable equipment such as computers, considering the current open layout of the media lab. The enclosed office space adjacent to the village love room aligns perfectly with our requirements, offering the ideal setting for our operations. In light of these developments, we propose an increased monthly rental rate of $1200, effective from March. We kindly request your feedback and any necessary support regarding this proposal. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or require further clarification. *Below is current rental agreement of $800 a month* [image: SMAC current rental agreement.PNG] *SMAC Proposed Expansion for $1200 a month* [image: SMAC rental proposal .png]

ceiling fan/light

by Hilary Naylor

Hi all, I wonder if SudoRoom or Omni would like this ceiling fan w/light: [image: 784036678.jpeg] I bought it on a daily deal a few months ago, hoping to cool my living room this summer. But unfortunately, my handperson says there is not enough support for it in my ceiling. So I would like to donate it somewhere worthwhile and of course, I thought of you guys. I can drop it off in the next few days if it can be useful. cheers Hilary --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA

async videos for "today I learned" or "what I learned at SudoRoom"

by Romy Ilano

Hey guys I am not really having time to sit through presentations. I thought we could film youtube videos (or hosted on any other server) that show what we did or got done this week at SudoRoom. This could be shared on Social media (with permission) and I guess the biggest ask is that you show: what did I do and learn that was made possible by SudoRoom? The videos can be played at will if there is an online meeting, but there's no need to sit through hours of presentations (there are already too many of those already right?) at some point I'd like to schedule a "this month I learned" or "today I learned" it can be async. 11:20 <https://wnbcodingnight.slack.com/archives/C03G8CS79D5/p1709234415843999> now that I think of it i might do this for the next session - i would even think it'd be nice to record it and then put it up on the serve rin case anyone is interested! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

We are still in the process of assembling our team of expert facilitators, and I believe your organization's expertise and experience would be invaluable to our project. As a reminder, our goal is to create an immersive learning experience for students from underrepresented communities and low socioeconomic backgrounds. The role as a facilitator in our would involve guiding learners through simulated electronic assembly tasks within our embodied virtual reality platform. This opportunity not only allows the contribution of cutting-edge research but also provides a chance to make a meaningful impact on the future of education. If your organization is still interested in being part of our project, please let me know your availability for a brief introductory call. I would be happy to provide more details about the project and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering this opportunity to join our team.

Omni delegates meeting and bylaw changes

by Alexander Papazoglou

Sending this again because I sent it with no subject the first time. I also made changes to the git repository with the bylaws so that the mediawiki markup gets rendered properly. ------ Hello, The Omni delegates are currently discussing changes to governance. Specifically, they are discussing changes to the bylaws, and putting together a description of an Executive Director/representative-type role. The current proposed changes to the Omni bylaws can be found here: https://github.com/sudoroom/omni-bylaws It's in the markup language used by the Wiki. We will be finalizing and consensing on these on Thursday, so please chime in if you have questions or concerns. We also have a very preliminary list of duties and powers that an ED would need to have, and we can discuss those further at our meeting on Wednesday. If someone would like to get involved in this further, please let me know. Finally we will also be consensing on Deb Gives membership. I have only heard positive things so far. Let's discuss further at the meeting. Alex (sudoroom delegate)

Should we do a "I did this" at sudoroom 5 minutes share a round?

by Romy Mimi Ilano

I can't get to SudoRoom this Tuesday, but I can go this Monday. I miss seeing everyone! Wondering if we should have a once a month or once every few weeks "Today I Learned" or "I did this at SudoRoom" Perhaps we could do it at a potluck or something? I'm focused all in on the light projection / augmented reality stuff that I was into last year. Don't have much time for anything else! Over the years I've gotten much more satisfaction starting, completing and learning from little completed mini projects at SudoRoom. I will try to post more social media but that just isn't my thing. I'm a creator! *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>*
