- sudo-discuss - sudoroom.org

by David Keenan

Hey guys, a friend of mine who works for the city of Oakland and is meeting with the ACLU on DAC stuff (to fix this nightnare) has asked me for - a coherent, semi-formal argument against the DAC. - Language against specific aspects of the DAC like the shot spotters, facial recognition, etc. What they will be used for vs what they say they will be used for, etc. What resources do we have on hand that I can forward or write up for them? Thanks! David

Poem instead of attendance at tonight's meeting.

by Max Klein

Last week tunabanas and I went to represent sudo at Southern Exposure's grantees ceremony. (We hacked the acceptance speech, and showed artists they are probably hackers too.) It got me thinking, and I wrote this poem for sudo. After and before, all the silenced outcasts leave their trace, I myself learn electronics and genetics at sudo hackerspace. Well not quite, but then intentions are there An eager post-work brain doing what it can to care. And the movement's building, more people join us to rock-it, The latest anacho-syndicalists with a California nonprofit. When only a year ago we were crash test dummies, 2 grants in a row makes us flush with ca$h monies. -notconfusing

about to strike it outta the calendar >> Art making party (post art murmur) february 7

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I just had ankle surgery so I'm not sure if I can help organize the upcoming post Art Murmur Artmaking party. *I'm about to strike it out of the calendar... * *Is anyone interested in running the event on February 7 still? * Organizing it isn't a big problem, and there are still leftover art supplies (probably in the radio room) from the last event. - At the last event the work I had to do to get it going was minimal. - People just sort of showed up with their own supplies as well, it was very collaborative. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ArtMakingParty#February_2014 *February 7, 2014* https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/art-making-party/?instance_id=78850 *SudoRoom Art Making Party* *As the Oakland Art Mrumur ends, artmaking werewolves converge on the SudoRoom hackerspace to jam to music, make art, and collaborate in all sorts of crazy werewolf ways.* *If you are an artist, performer, genius of ways to set up collaborative artmaking stations, or have films and videos to show, contact us! We’d like to see your stuff.* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Quiet work area

by Romy Snowyla

Did anyone start a quiet work area at SudoRoom? This is ideally a table where people can focus, not be interrupted, or people near this area would be mindful & not talk too loudly. I think I witnessed something like this one afternoon. Noisebridge has a similar set up.. I like it a lot, I'd like to go to sudoroom and have a small mindful area free of people's phone conversations, or be interrupted by someone pitching their political movement or solar energy start up. (I've been interrupted constantly in the past this way and this is a constructive idea to solve that problem) To the folks who had a quiet mindfulness area: could we do this again? It's a good idea and in alignment with sudoroom values;: "a hackerspace is for hacking " Sent from my iPhone

Open source documentary

by Noemie Serfaty

Hello sudo-ers Let me introduce myself, although some of you know me already. My name is Noémie, I'm French - among other things. I discovered sudo-room last September. It was the first time I set foot in a hackerspace, and it kind of blew my mind. At sudo room, I discovered the concept of open source, a concept I didn't really know till then. That, together with a lot of really great encounters and conversations, kind of changed things for me, and made me realize that even in what I do in life (films), I can do things completely differently. Up to now the film industry has been very hierarchical, in many different ways, and it always made me uncomfortable. Only recently did I understand that if I sense that something’s not fair, I can actually do something about it. That was an empowering realization. So I've been playing with the idea of making an open source documentary film at/about sudo room. Before I go any further, I would just like to say that I saw you're trying to agree on a sort of chart about the conditions under which you'd be willing to have people film at sudo room, and it all seems very reasonable to me. I'd like to expose you my idea, for you to tell me what you think, and also, if anyone among you would like to participate. I’m hoping that (at least some of) the ones who will be in the film will also participate in the making of the film. The project would probably be scattered over a few months, so that it doesn't feel heavy, but also so that there is time to develop a genuine narrative, and to follow one or a few projects that could constitute the backbone of a story. The question I've been fiddling with is the following: how to make it open source? And beyond just putting the footage under CC license and leaving it available somewhere on the internet, how to make it an exciting experiment, an opportunity to create new processes in film making that are non hierarchical and more participative? To me the question is also a pragmatic one: how can this participative process allow to create compelling films with a vision, films that people actually want to watch, beyond the open source community? The idea is to develop a sort of github for editing movies in a collaborative way, so that as the film is being shot and made, there is a tool online that allows to do things together: - rate, annotate, underline the footage or parts of it, organize it - upload videos, music, etc. - edit sequences. - fork the project to create a different timeline and a different movie. This tool would be free of access and available not only to the people involved in the project but to anyone, and hopefully will generate a cool community of users who want to be empowered film viewers *and* makers. To me it's the continuation of genius director Chris Marker's work with the Medvedkin Groups in the 60's. * (see below if you want to know more about it!). I've been talking about the possibility of building this tool with a really great and talented hacker that some of you know, Robert M Ochshorn. He's already made some great advancement on the future of video (two works of his: http://interlace.videovortex9.net also check http://montageinterdit.net) and he'd be excited to continue with this project. I’m excited too actually! I think it could change the whole idea of how to make films, and what it is to be a spectator, and what is a truly participative movie... So I’m offering to do an experiment, and I think sudo room would definitely be the best place to do it, not only because of all places, it is the one where I would want to experiment in a fun way. Also because I envision a really good, touching, fun and awakening movie... hopefully more than one movie!! I hope that after the 1.0 movie is released, it is only the beginning of an adventure consisting in hacking the movie. Making a different version of it, maybe more than one. I'll be in Oakland starting from February and I'm thinking of spending some time at sudo - probably for other projects as well. I'd like to take this time to think of how to do it, what story (ies) to tell, talk about the project to whomever among you is interested in participating in it, and see more concretely how it could be done in a participative way, but also with a vision, and a unity, so that it actually has a reach. I wrote this email today because I’d like everyone to know about it, and open a discussion that I hope will mostly take place in real life when I’ll be here in February rather than on this email list, although I would be happy to already get some feedback, questions, advice or ideas that you think are relevant at this stage… Thank you! A bientôt :) Noémie * Chris Marker went to film the factory strikes in Besancon; and when he showed his film to the workers, they said that he’s completely incompetent, that it does not represent their point of view at all, that this director from Paris is just like the bosses that exploit them. Chris Marker agreed that the film was filmed from his point of view, and created with the workers the Medevkin groups. He shared with them the material, the means and the knowhow to create their own movies, and helped them to re-edit his own footage. Some of the films of the Medvedkin groups are amazing. -- Noémie Serfaty 108 rue du Faubourg du Temple 75011 Paris Tel: 06 27 76 88 84 Tel: 01 71 50 51 82 noemieserfaty(a)gmail.com

support a video library of life experience in a 17-screen exhibit – deadline tomorrow

by Danny Spitzberg

Dear friends, it's been a while, and I miss you all. Starting next Wednesday (5–7pm, right before the weekly meeting), Global Lives is hosting a month-long, 17-screen exhibit in San Francisco to host salon gatherings for broader audiences interested in global citizenship and travel, empathy and education, and film and new media, as well as field trips for Bay Area schools for workshops on empathy and global citizenship. This exhibit is part of its initiative to provide educational materials for over 400 teachers in the USA and around the world who asked for help using video as a resource in their classroom. Because I believe in the power of people speaking for themselves, I'm working with Global Lives to build their education program and broader community. And thanks to the support we received last year, Global Lives produced 8 videos within 11 months! The amazing series features a day in the life of 10 transit workers around the world. You can preview five of the films at www.globallives.org/liveintransitpreviews/ and learn more about the exhibit opportunities atwww.globallives.org/exhibitmonth2014. *Before Friday at 2PM, Global Lives needs $9,500 to put curriculum and resources in the hands of teachers and show its video library of life experience to a wide audience – please donate at www.globallives.org/donate/ <http://www.globallives.org/donate/>.* I would be humbled and thankful if you would donate to support this amazing work today. Sincerely, Danny

by tahmina mahrzad

#Jan25: 3 years later. An educational day long program on #Egypt https://www.facebook.com/events/424246587705844/ Dear friends and supporters, As many of you probably know, the third anniversary of the Egyptian revolution is coming soon less than 2 weeks from now. We are hosting a full day educational program to mark the anniversary of the ongoing Egyptian revolution, it's a collaboration between me and local organizers and supporters here in the San Fransisco Bay area. In Egypt, the 25th of Jan this year is going to be a day of action against the continuity of military rule and the atrocities committed by the coup regime. The program will start from 3 pm and will be all night long until the last person leaves, so you're welcome to stop by any time! Program details will include but not restricted to: -Film screening of rare footage highlighting different stages of the Egyptian struggle. -Skype conversations with Egyptians in Egypt and abroad to hear their perspective on the situation. - A talk by Shimaa Helmy, an eyewitness to the Egyptian movement who's currently in Oakland, CA. - An open forum and a Q/A session on the state of affairs in Egypt since 2011 and up to date. Other activities will be included soon and added to the event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/424246587705844/ The event is hosted by the Sudo Room hacker space 2141 Broadway St, Oakland, California 94612 I'm not sure for how long I will be in the US and I'm trying to do as much as I can here before I have to go back home. I will appreciate it if you came by or at least spread the word about the event. Much appreciation, Shimaa Helmy http://shimaa-helmy.tumblr.com/

Copwatch Radio Scanner

by Max B

Hey folks, Berkeley Copwatch is in need of a new police radio scanner! It seems that the police department has switched frequencies/gone digital and their old scanner doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know anything about police radio/scanners and would want to have a conversation with me about them? Anyone know anything about some of the sdr options available and whether or not we could realistically hack something that would be effective? Any help is great! Max

Spacebridge

by J.C.

Hey all, I've been working to revive the space program at noisebridge and will be heading over there this evening if anyone is interested. One of the projects I'm thinking of is experimenting with ways to integrate with mesh and potentially use weather balloon lofted radios for popping up nodes for events or emergencies. There's boxes of balloons & circuits and a couple of big 'ole tanks of helium. Sincerely, Chief Space Cadet ;+) nburl.net/fort <https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Fort>

Machine Learning: Thursday, 1/16 @ 7pm

by Mike Schachter

Hi everyone! Just a quick reminder that we are having a Machine Learning meetup at Noisebridge in the Church room (Northeast corner classroom), at 7pm this Thursday, January 16th. There will be a class targeted towards beginners to machine learning. Very basic programming knowledge, like using variables, arrays, and loops, would be helpful. The schedule will go something like this: 7:00pm - 7:30pm Project Talks, and SAGE and ebook distribution - People interested in presenting ideas for projects can stand up and share their ideas for projects to find collaborators. USB keys with SAGE and machine learning resources will be handed out for installation. 7:30pm - 8:30pm Project people can break off and continue collaborating. For beginners and all other interested parties, I'll give an interactive tutorial on regression via SAGE worksheets and the projector. Hope to see you there! If you're interested in getting a head start: Noisebridge ML Wiki Page: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Machine_Learning SAGE Download: http://www.sagemath.org/download.html mike P.S. The intro classes will be recurring, probably every 1-1.5 months, so don't freak out if you can't make it! I will also consider teaching the intro class on a weekend if there is enough demand. If you're interested in helping out to teach or create course material please contact me or solicit the mailing list(s).

Are you more likely to give money if we have a bigger space with more room for projects, industrial equipment, classes, meetings, etc? Would you be more likely to use the space? If so, would you consider starting to give now? It will help us plan for the future to know how much people are willing to give! Thanks so much!
