back end dev to collaborate this week with a front end mobile dev for iOS?

by Romy Ilano

hi, anyone at sudoroom who does backend (ruby, etc) interests in collaboration ? I do front end iOS stuff. i'm aware of back end services like parse, stackmob, etc. would be just nice to find people to code with and talk to... i think i'm dominating the sudoroom github right now so that needs to be remediated with some cool collars as well! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Anyone having problems with Tor?

by Eddie Che

Wondering if anyone else is having issues feeling like some of the servers may not have their best interest in mind. My suspicions started when seeing NSADutch etc come up there, and now there's a range of sketchy-ness and badass-ness if you look at the network map as you browse, especially if you're an activist. I have to continually be closing out these portals to defeat "InvincibleAI," for example. Since as I understand it tor is an evolving project, is what's going on: a) it turns out anyone can make a server... so there's some percentage of those who will take traffic and data and not have your best interests in mind? b) this is fine perfectly safe, none of the data and traffic is stored on these servers? c) there's other things with privacy we have to collectively worry about, like what information we give to companies and their integrity, d) this is a battle it's evolving and so we don't really know yet? e) some other hack-option? -- Eddie Miller, BU '10 eddiemill(a)gmail.com | 440-935-5434 Facebook.com/eddiemill | Twitter.com/eddiemill

collective of collectives / space-agnostic accumulation of momentum

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, At the meeting wednesday we talked about the space thing for a short while, and one of the points that was brought up is that we are kind of snowballing toward some larger goal and movement here regardless of what form the nuts and bolts take. I have not been to any of the Omni meetings because of the location, but the more I hear, the more I understand that some kind of serious and I hope irreversible momentum is building. I don't think sudo/BAPS's current location is perfect, but it might be beneficial to try to attract one or more additional group to 2141, maybe in the other small room as a temporary measure. There is some sense that George would be more relaxed if he were able to rent out more of the upstairs space. I'm not betting one way or the other, but that could be a potential fringe benefit secondary to the main goal of building momentum and stabilizing various orgs' membership and resources. I say this not to delay moving to a new space, but hopefully quite the opposite, to bring that point closer by reducing the perceived risk through knocking out some unknowns and generally building rapport between members of the various orgs. I'm sure alot has probably been discussed at the omni meetings, but what are peoples' thoughts? Happy Friday, Hol

cnc mill

atmega32u4 arduino leonardo clones for $5 including shipping - set up a kid!

by Jake

for less than the price of a fancy cup of coffee, you can rescue a child from the boredom of not having their very own microcontroller to program. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313&_nkw=atmega32u4&… while you're shopping for all the kiddies on your list, get a spool of addressable LEDs for just 27 cents per light - and cut the spool into pieces whose length corresponds to how much you care about each recipient. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WS2812B-WS2811-RGB-LED-Strip-5M-150-300-Leds-60LED-… and of course they will need a way to power the thing while they're wearing it, so don't forget a rechargable USB battery pack for only $2.53 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portable-Mobile-Power-Bank-USB-18650-Battery-Charge… don't forget micro USB cables: (short or long) http://www.ebay.com/itm/10CM-USB-2-0-A-to-Micro-B-Data-Sync-Charge-Cable-Co… http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-2-0-Male-A-to-Data-Charger-Cable-Android-… and here's the source to get it to do POV with one color: https://github.com/jerkey/pov_ws2811 maybe someone will make a color POV for it? http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2013/08/08/coming-soon-minipov-rgb-led/

Fwd: Zazzle SudoRoom shirts

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Charging for Lockers

It's nice to know that SudoRoom (www.sudoroom.org) in Oakland, our sister hackerspace, has instituted lockers. we could ask them for any learnings, fails, etc. Hey SudoRoom - how have your lockers been going?

Maker/tinkerer parts

by Gideon Weisberg (gweisberg＠riekes.org)

Hello, I was asked to post this message about a bunch of possible parts here by a member. Let me know if anyone finds this useful. My name is Gideon Weisberg, and work I with the non-profit Riekes Center in Menlo Park (mentoring in sports, fitness, the arts, music, and nature awareness). Years ago (10?) we were given a Bod-Pod to allow the fitness department to offer a (then) state-of-the-art body assessment system to low-income students, as well as the other athletes who train at our center. While at the time this version of the Bod-Pod system ran about $50,000, it is now obsolete. It likely has lots of useful parts for a tinkering lab. I am looking for ways to find a new home for the system, and am especially interested in helping any useful parts find their way into innovative reuse or educational programs (or at least becomes somebody's weird furniture/studio prop). Any proceeds from selling this system will go directly into our programs (the first $750 I can raise will be buying new tires for our passenger van). The Bod Pod (with it's computer station, manual, and calibration/maintenance records) can be delivered within the Bay Area. I am open to thoughts and suggestions regarding the ultimate fate of this devise. I don't want it to go in a land-fill. Thank you for your consideration, Gideon Weisberg gweisberg(a)riekes.org Coordinating Naturalist The Riekes Center www.riekes.org

Meeting Tomorrow, 7pm at Sudo Room!

by Jenny Ryan

Waste Mgmt screwup re: recycling/green acct #s

by David Keenan

I just found out today, Waste Management are trying to bill Sudo Room (and therefore BAPS) for 2 extra recycling bins and one extra green-waste bin that we don't have. That is, WM thinks we have always had 3x 96gal recycling bins and 2x 64gal green-waste bins in all. Whereas Sudo/BAPS have only ever had 1x 96gal recycling, and 1x 64gal green waste bin (* technically our green bin is also 96gal, but since WM apparently didn't actually have any 64gal-sized bins, they just give us the 96gal and charge us for 64gal.) So far as I can tell, what happened is: WM assigned an additional, second recycling+green waste account to Sudo, that is not ours. This additional secondary bill is past due ~4 mo to the tune of ~$500. This bogus bill was not visible to us online, and I only found out about it today after getting hit up by WM's collection department on the phone, whereupon I asked them to email me copies of the invoices. After looking the bogus bill over, today at around 12noon, I called WM back and wrangled with the billing dept phone rep "Christopher", who generated a *Case ID # 2377511* for the accounting department to "review" this screw-up. Although it's not hard to see the error, as it is a second bill for twice as many recycling bins at the same address for the same time period. Therefore, before interfacing with WM, please take note of the following information: Sudo room's CORRECT recycling and green waste account # (paid in full through Nov): *699-0009853-2216-3* (<-- right) This other INCORRECT recycling/green account, misattributed to Sudo: 065-4415376-2216-5 (<-- wrong) SUDO/BAPS'ERS: DO NOT EVER PAY THIS ACCOUNT. Attached are the two different recycling+greenwaste invoices for the month of October - one labelled *correct* (and paid), and one labelled *incorrect*(unpaid). If you talk to WM, please refer to these. I know these aren't the latest bills, but it's simpler to discuss them with WM without referring past due amounts. For the record, Sudo has a separately-billed WM account just for the *garbage*, which is: 065-4415386-2216-4. The garbage account has thus far not been confused, just the recycling/green. Best, David

Conflict resolution item for Wednesday meeting

Since I'll be at the meeting, that will be a convenient time to have me arrested, if anyone wishes. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Expulsion from common area Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2013 00:08:53 -0800 From: Laurie Cooperman Rosen <Lscoop(a)comcast.net> To: 'Timon' <timondocent(a)gmail.com> p.s. the police came, but we thought it had been cancelled. They were called because Matt said that you were bothering people, not because George said that you can't be in there. Matt called us, we didn't call him. Neither George nor I was privy to what led up to his call. Sonitrol called the police and gave them Matt's #. The Police called Matt and Matt said that you had left the room and that they didn't need to come, so we thought it was done. An hour later we got a call from Matt; they showed up anyway and George had to run down there. Not what we wanted on a Sunday eve.

After Sudo (Matt) asked me yesterday -- because of some direct communication from George I do not know about (between 1:45PM and 6ish PM) not to be in the Sudo room part of the common area yesterday night, and out of respect for not wanting to put sudo room (the group: my friends and colleagues, acquaintances and primary social millieu and support) in a difficult place, I retrieved a few possessions and donations and then left both sudo room's room and their common area section, and have not returned, as I told everyone I would not.

(I told George I was recording it, mid-call, and he did not voice objection). Per George, Matt had asked that I be required to leave. After George hung up on me, saying he'd called the cops and would not "repeat himself " as I asked for clarification, I found out the request didn't come from George.

Fwd: [!SUDO-INFO!] Event with FWD

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, This email came in, we weren't sure what to do, discussed at the meeting that we'd forward to the discuss list to see if anyone wanted to follow up about this. From the minutes: "**we'll forward to sudo-discuss, any interested individual sudoer is free to invite them as a guest on the calendar, but we will be very clear that our org is not endorsing theirs" ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kendra Desler <kendra(a)fwd.us> Date: Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 2:50 PM Subject: [!SUDO-INFO!] Event with FWD To: info(a)sudoroom.org Hey Sudoroom! My name is Kendra Desler, and I am an Organizing Fellow with FWD.us. We are a nonprofit advocacy organization working with the tech community to move the knowledge economy forward through immigration reform. I was wondering if Sudoroom would be interested in having FWD.us host a mixer event at your office space in hopes of meeting your members and sharing about how immigration reform affects the tech community. We often host happy hour type events during the late afternoon; however, we are flexible, and can host something more common to the your office culture (brunch, sandwich lunch, etc). We will provide all food, beverages and other amenities. Would you be open to exploring the possibility of having us host such an event? I look forward to hearing from you!

Timon Not Allowed in Building

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey all, I received word from George our landlord that Timon is banned from the property. His presence in sudo room jeopardizes our lease, and therefore he is not welcome. This has been communicated to Timon, and some other sudoers who were around this weekend are aware as well. // Matt

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudo! This afternoon starting at 3pm: Short documentary screening: “The Battle for Oscar Grant Plaza” by Jacob Crawford and co-produced by Dave Id, Indybay.org. The documentary shows how the City of Oakland and its Police tried to shut down the budding “Occupy Wall Street” movement, turning downtown Oakland into a teargas filled war zone and injuring numerous people. Police video obtained in discovery in the National Lawyers Guild’s successful lawsuit and interviews with activists and journalists about their experiences, tell the real story of the disastrous Fall 2011 police actions that pushed the troubled OPD to the brink of federal receivership. Documentary (in it’s current state) is 25 minutes and will start around 3:15. Expect light refreshments and intellectual discourse! We’re interested in sparking conversation around police accountability in the Oakland area and beyond. If you have any interest in direct involvement with OPD accountability (especially if you are a coder!), you won’t want to miss this! The producers and some plaintiffs (including Scott Olsen) will be present to answer any questions. Jacob Crawford is a long time Copwatcher based out of the Bay Area in California. He joined Berkeley Copwatch <http://www.berkeleycopwatch.org/>in 2000 and produced the first ever “in the streets” non-dramatized know your rights video “These Streets Are Watching”. He currently is running WeCopwatch.org <http://wecopwatch.org> with other Copwatchers and has been a contributor for CopBlock.org <http://copblock.org> for several years. ---------- Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Fwd: Invest in Bay Area Youth This Holiday Season!

by Romy Ilano

I promise I'm not going to forward too many of these newsletters to sudo-discuss... but this is a very worthwhile non-project in Oakland. Mind Body Awareness enables youth (often involved in gangs, violence) to reach a healthier mental state through meditation. Their program sounds very nonjudgemental and takes a different perspective on solving such problems.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mind Body Awareness Project <info(a)mbaproject.org> Date: Sun, Dec 8, 2013 at 9:59 AM Subject: Invest in Bay Area Youth This Holiday Season! To: Romy <romy(a)snowyla.com> *DONATE TO MBA*<http://mbaproject.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a6a848d1fe97aa06e6eed53…> Is this email not displaying correctly?

The Mind Body Awareness (MBA) Project brings practical mindfulness and emotional regulation training to youth in juvenile detention centers and public high schools; approaching transformation from the inside out. We want to share with you one such story of transformation, the kind of story that keeps us in it for the long haul: * Raymond (pseudonym), a 16-year old gang member was introduced to a loving kindness meditation in one of our classes. In this meditation we repeat to ourselves “May I be happy … May I be healthy … May I be safe…” As the meditation was coming to a close Raymond jolted abruptly out of the practice. When we asked Raymond if he was ok, he told us: "I just had a vision. I could see myself right there. When I said to myself 'May I be happy,' I could see myself as a little kid, playing with toys and blocks. Just happy you know? Then, when I said to myself, 'May I be healthy,' I could see myself on my block in my neighborhood. I was holding a joint (marijuana) and I just took it and threw it behind me and left. And then, when I said to myself, 'May I be safe,' I could see myself on my block again. But this time I had my gun in my belt. I just took the gun and threw it in the garbage and walked away. That was deep." Raymond attended our class for over 2 years while incarcerated in the maximum-security unit in the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center. That experience changed him at a root level. He’s since reported thinking less violent thoughts and continued on as a leader in our program, facilitating group meditations, bringing more friends each time.* As we approach the holidays, we invite you to help us support more youth like Raymond. - $100 supports one youth receiving 3 one-on-one counseling sessions - $250 supports one youth attending a 3-day, 2-night residential meditation retreat - $500 supports one youth to participate in our 10-module programs in the a juvenile hall - $1,000 supports one youth to go through a yearlong MBA high school class - $5,000 supports a yearlong training for one MBA instructor Our goal is to raise $15,000 by December 31st, and we are just getting started. *To help us get there, an anonymous donor has stepped up and offered us a $7,500 challenge grant! *That’s right, the next $7,500 we receive will be matched, dollar for dollar! Please consider contributing to this match fund today! Need a holiday gift idea? Dedicate a contribution in the name of someone special and we will notify him or her by email of your gift.

PLEASE GIVE to sudoroom gittip!

by Yardena Cohen

I dearly implore you to slightly compromise your anonymity by signing up for gittip and donating a few $/week to sudoroom. https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ The hardest part is overcoming that psychological barrier by entering your credit/debit card # - after that it will be easy, and you will be making a real difference for all the hard-working folks who volunteer here everyday. Even if you haven't been to sudo lately for whatever reason, I can't emphasize enough how much it means to us on the ground. Every dollar you give translates DIRECTLY into the love-powered energy that helps us keep the space clean, open, safe, accessible and hopping with life. None of us are paid for this, few of us are wealthy, many of us are struggling. Here's what our expenses cost approximately per week: $9 for the server that powers this very mailing list, our homepage, blog, wiki, and dev environments for many other projects! $15 for services such as trash pickup that keeps our hackers from being devoured by mutant flies and keeps our landlord's head from combusting spontaneously on every visit! $25 goes to our sweet, privacy-conscious, locally owned, ISP to bring internets to our public terminals, raspis, radio stream, and about a billion laptops and phones every week! $70-90 for our utilities, including power for our lights, computers, devices, fridge, ac/heat, printers, dishwasher, crock pot, coffee pot! $345 to rent our current space, with some prospective spaces approaching $500+/week. This space has so much value as an open community space which enables so many people and groups to accomplish awesome things! $infinite for the inspiration to learn and create beautiful things, which we have MORE TIME FOR when we are not struggling over the basics!!! That's where we are right now too often, and we ALL would like more time for the fun stuff. That will be a lot easier if you all give to sudoroom, so PLEASE CHIP IN now <3<3<3 https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ Right now we make $96.67. If we make over $138.75 we get bumped to the front page as a top receiver. If we make $500 we will finally have our basics covered and be free to dream even bigger. Thanks so much! P.S. Really though, they are pretty good about protecting your identity: "Gittip makes reasonable efforts not to share your personal information with the recipients of your gifts, so that particular gifts are anonymous. We do publicly share aggregated information about your giving and receiving. You may opt out of publicly sharing your aggregate giving." https://www.gittip.com/about/privacy/

artmurmur - saturday stroll + involving noisebridge?

by Romy Ilano

Hi all As you know, Oakland has the oakland art murmur on First Fridays. SudoRoom is in Oakland, and often people end up going to SudoRoom as an afterparty, when art murmur ends (around 9-10pm) There is also a "Saturday Stroll" where we can have SudoRoom open Saturday mornings+afternoons. This is a much more laid back affair. - *Could we involve Noisebridge in the art murmur at SudoRoom?* We would be able to have more art on display, and we could sell some more electronics kits, noisebridge t-shirts, etc? I am at Noisebridge a lot so I will investigate. I think it would be good to pool resources, and create a link between SF and Oakland Anyone interested in manning on a Saturday Stroll?

Even if you haven't been to sudo lately for whatever reason, I can't emphasize enough how much it means to us on the ground. Every dollar you give translates DIRECTLY into the love-powered energy that helps us keep the space clean, open, safe, accessible and hopping with life. None of us are paid for this, few of us are wealthy, many of us are struggling. Here's what our expenses cost approximately per week: $9 for the server that powers this very mailing list, our homepage, blog, wiki, and dev environments for many other projects! $15 for services such as trash pickup that keeps our hackers from being devoured by mutant flies and keeps our landlord's head from combusting spontaneously on every visit! $25 goes to our sweet, privacy-conscious, locally owned, ISP to bring internets to our public terminals, raspis, radio stream, and about a billion laptops and phones every week! $70-90 for our utilities, including power for our lights, computers, devices, fridge, ac/heat, printers, dishwasher, crock pot, coffee pot! $345 to rent our current space, with some prospective spaces approaching $500+/week. This space has so much value as an open community space which enables so many people and groups to accomplish awesome things! $infinite for the inspiration to learn and create beautiful things, which we have MORE TIME FOR when we are not struggling over the basics!!! That's where we are right now too often, and we ALL would like more time for the fun stuff. That will be a lot easier if you all give to sudoroom, so PLEASE CHIP IN now <3<3<3 https://www.gittip.com/sudoroom/ Right now we make $96.67. If we make over $138.75 we get bumped to the front page as a top receiver. If we make $500 we will finally have our basics covered and be free to dream even bigger. Thanks so much! P.S.

Response from AORTA Collective about Racism Education options in Sudo Room

by Max Klein

Hello All, I have been really disheartened about what's been happening on list about Racism and other prejudices. So I wrote and spoke to the AORTA (Anti Oppression Resources and Training Alliance) collective http://aortacollective.org/ about how they could help us bring some common understanding. Forwarded is the email they returned. I'm not pushing any perspective, even not that AORTA can help us, or that we even "need help". I just wanted to share with you one of the things we could do, and solicit your input if you felt like giving it. with sudo love -Max aka notconfusing ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: kiran nigam <kiran(a)aortacollective.org> Date: 4 December 2013 14:36 Subject: Options for the Sudo Room To: Maximilian Klein <isalix(a)gmail.com> Hi Max! As we talked about yesterday, here are some options for the Sudo Room to consider. *A training on race and racism.* I would recommend no less than 4 hours for a training on race and racism. This interactive workshop deconstructs the ways that systemic racism impact our work, our interpersonal interaction, or individual biases and prejudices, and our communities. Together we share (and learn) concepts, skills, and language to push us further and help change behavior, words, and actions to build racial justice. The pro of this is that if many people come, it can move the group's understanding further and build community by engaging together in meaningful dialogue and learning. The con is that if people don't show up for it (and often those who would most benefit from the workshop are the ones who don't come), then the benefits won't happen. Or, a small group will attend, which then runs the risk of building resentment or tension between those who attended and those who did not. *A Facilitated Discussion, with the Goal of Developing Values or Points of Unity* This would look different than a workshop. The goal would be to facilitate the group through a process of working together to build shared values, points of unity, or expectations for behavior. This would be facilitated in a lively, interactive manner. (Think more retreat, less business meeting.) The benefit of this is that it can be a very team building process. Additionally, this is something that is very helpful for new and developing groups to do, because it helps give you a foundation upon which you can do your work, and clear shared values and expectations that you can return to as a basis for addressing behavior that is hurtful or inappropriate. If you don't have things like this, then you don't have a group mandate to interrupt or address such behavior, and if/when you do, it's on a case by case basis, which can lead to things feeling very personal. The downside is that you don't directly address systemic oppression, or the recent email thread. However, doing this does not mean that you can't also choose to have a workshop, a series of workshops, or other forms of ongoing education. *Payment* AORTA charges on a sliding scale. For non-profit groups with a slim budget, that scale starts at $150/hour for facilitation and slides down to $50/hour. We ask organizations with access to funding to pay as high on the scale are they are able and feels fair. This helps support the free and low-cost work we do with organizations and community groups with low/no budget. We prioritize political groups, community campaigns, and movement building organizations for our free and low-cost work.

First Friday party

by Chris Bee

So despite having talked with Phylean on a few different occasions I'm still not sure what's going on with this....I asked Phylean to hang out last night prior to the meeting, she said "Okay" then left for the duration of the meeting. I don't know whether anything was discussed regarding this, I told her that there was a public school event tomorrow and that I didn't want to conflict with that (e.g. loud music doesn't mix well with poetry readings) but that kind of got glossed over as well. Bottom line is.....I'm not sure who is responsible for this event, so if it doesn't happen I won't be too disappointed. What I would mind is if a) Phylean IS the responsible party/bottom-liner and B) she showed up with a bunch of equipment and a crew of people ready to party at the last minute (let's say, any time after 8 pm Friday) without keeping sudo up to date. I spoke with femalefaust, who believes that Phylean WOULD have this under control if she understood what was required from her regarding organization of events and that my confusion here is simply a matter of Phylean not knowing how to interface with sudo as a group. That's understandable, but it's also kind of crazy-making. I would like to see this party happen, but I'm unclear on most (if not all) of the key details at this point. Has anyone else discussed this event with her? Am I the unofficial liaison here or have other sudoers been involved? -chrisbee
