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!

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that we'll be having "Today We Learned" open
co-learningtime at Sudo Room
today from 2-5PM.
Come learn and hack with us!
Tiny amount of details at https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_We_Learned
Best,
Marina
PS - If this is your first time at Sudo Room, the best way to get in is
from 22nd St (between Broadway and Telegraph) and to take the elevator
upstairs. We'll be there!
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?

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
anyone know how to use the CNC mill? I am thinking of going to sudo
tonight to mill something and it would be easier if someone can show me
how to do it, rather than figuring it out.
maybe i'll just call on the telephone before i go over.
or is there a wiki page for the thing?

Hey are there any other iOS Developers at SudoRoom?
I would like to collaborate with you -- interested in a project involving
SudoSquare, putting stuff on github, and making a fix it app
Also any back end people interested, give me a ring.
I'm having some difficulty working around oauth1 rest apis for services
that don't have iOS SDKs... would love to jam with someone in person.

Careful though, you might run into some trans folks and biohackers,
neither of whom you want to make offhand comments about chromosomes
to.
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? Anything that works or doesn't work for
you?

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,

Hey sudo,
Tomorrow's weekly meeting is an important one! How can we clarify our
membership process to better onboard new folks and maintain a stable income
from dues? What do people think about moving to one of our new potential
spaces <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Spaces#Current>?
Add to the agenda: https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting

This is in line with near-inflation rate and agreed upon in the lease as I

Hi Matt & Eddan-
In accordance with the terms of the lease, there will be an increase due on
1/1/14 in the amount of $45/month (new rent = $1545/month). I just plumb
forgot to do on 12/1, so this year you got an extra month at the old rate
:-).
Thanks-

Hey all, what's the status of this? What parts do we still need? I'd
love to help pay for them if someone knows what parts to buy. And
anything else I need to do to get our printer working ASAP. Thanks!
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
Thanks so much for disambiguating! With this additional knowledge, I'm
happy to be removed from the agenda again.

Since I'll be at the meeting, that will be a convenient time to have me
arrested, if anyone wishes.

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.

Subject: Expulsion from common area
On Friday night after we talked (sometime after 6:15PM, when he'd required
me to take his appointment), or perhaps between when I made my Monday
appointment with you yesterday (Saturday) afternoon and when I got back from
my volunteer/internship gig at about 6pm, George seems to have decided my
alleged "second chance" (as in "everyone deserves a second chance") was
retroactively canceled, and told people I was "not allowed" in the building.
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.
Tonight, as I was peacefully eating my dinner and listening to a good
physics and game-theory lecture/conversation from OUTSIDE of the Sudo area
today, Matt handed me a phone, and said it was George. (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.
I will not be in the common area, unless invited by The Public School, until
we talk. I doubt I would even if so invited, out of respect for anyone else
who should be spared this drama.
Feel free to cancel the call to the cops or not, as you see fit.

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"

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!
Best,
Kendra

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.

Those numbers are per-week. To convert monthly to weekly costs, e.g.
our $1500 rent, do this: 1500*7*12/365.25 = 344.97
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.

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

Their business plan was not viable.
In what ways was it not viable? And have they completely given up?

===discussion===
zach - national cooperative bank usually helps
david - reads a visioning statement. BAPS has always been about organizing
post-occupy. its always been about a commune where members get their needs
met without the mediation of money. that's what
magrit - i might charge money for classes is that a problem? : david - no,
of course we have to have commerical means to pay the rent,
clay - what would the decisions be like for the mega collective : david -
ive made this draft "collective of collectives" delegates to an exexcutive
council that makes binding decision by consensus.
Owen - so sudo is not on board? : max - no actually i was the main
dissenter, and i've since reversed and am rallying sudo to that end.
clay - what's with the time bank? ; zach - that's defunct
Carrie - what's your minimum committment for a new group? : niko - tell us
what you can afford. its not like we will determine your space by money.
bring everybody, if we have enough cash to move in well then figure it out.
Magrit - what's hte time horizon? david k - well owner woudl take $2M if
someone offered it tomorrow. however owner wants our kind of ideas. even
until march would probably be OKAY.
magrit are there times when we get into the space? they live there so we
could schedule a visit but maybe not more than 8 people?
owen? whats the maintenance of the building. davind k - ive had architect
friend check it out
Nikki - let me reiterate that even if its not the omni we will sitll make
the collective of collectives.
David b - notify other collectives to join us
Tooth - i am involved in an artist run film lab.
Mara - i will talk to Salta, can we just have a few months of the year? :
David K. we can schedule a common area?
zach - bar could subsidize : niko - wouldnt' be fantastic for safe space
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?
Hi I added yardena's git tip as a blog post (protecting her identity

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

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.
Not at all seeking to cast blame on anyone at all, but us the garbage-y
smell on the ground floor by the 22nd st entrance our fault at all?
i only ask because im going to ask George and Laurie to take care of it
(remove any hidden trash in the closet, shampoo the carpets, or something)
thanks,
David

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?
