Microcontroller Hack Night - This Tuesday!

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, It's that time again! I'll be firing up (after a bit of plumbing rework) the beer machine V2.0, doing some RGB LED control using accelerometers, and maybe a few other tidbits here and there. All level users welcome - I can't find the programmer I use for the scratch-build boards so won't be providing any components for those. If you're just starting out and need something to tinker with, there will probably be an extra controller or two on hand you can borrow, or if you want one to take home you can pick one up at radio shack by OG plaza last minute. FB event if you want to add yourself to a headcount: https://www.facebook.com/events/413697925410278 And feel free to invite people using this tool - I'm a bit sleepy at the moment so I only invited a few. Important: Several other events have subsequently been scheduled for this night. Please be conscientious when setting up and help keep the place clean over the course of the event. Hope to see y'all there, Hol

discussing the commons this tuesday

by Jacob Levin

Hello, A group of people are getting together at Sudo Room Tuesday evening at 7:30 to talk about David Bollier's work on the commons and I wanted to see if anyone from the Sudo Room community wanted to join us. David Bollier is one of the leading common advocates in the US, and believes the language of the commons will allow us to think our way out of the market/state argument that currently consumes most of what passes as political debate in this country. This is part of an ongoing discussion group we've put together to talk about some of the intellectuals and activists, including Bollier himself, who are coming to Oakland in early August for a conference. For more details about the conference or discussion group email me at jjflevin(a)gmail.com. You'll find links to the texts we'll be looking at below. Hope some of you can make it! Jacob *“The commons provides us with the ability to name and then help constitute a new order. We need a new language that does not insidiously replicate the misleading fictions of the old order – for example, that market growth will eventually solve our social ills or that regulation will curb the world’s proliferating ecological harms. We need a new discourse and new social practices that assert a new grand narrative, a different constellation of operating principles and a more effective order of governance. Seeking a discourse of this sort is not a fanciful whim. It is an absolute necessity. And, in fact, there is no other way to bring about a new order. Words actually shape the world. By using a new language, the language of the commons, we immediately begin to create a new culture. We can assert a new order of resource stewardship, right livelihood, social priorities and collective enterprise.” * The primary text we'll look at is David Bollier and Silke Helfrich's introduction to the recently published "Wealth of Commons": http://wealthofthecommons.org/essay/introduction-commons-transformative-vis… For those who want more explicit example of what this resurgence of the commons looks like, this article he wrote back in 2001 looks at how community gardens, open source software and blood banks can all be best described using the language of the commons: http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/reclaiming-the-commons/the-cornucopia-of-… And if anyone would rather listen/watch instead of read, this interview offers a great window into how Bollier thinks about the world: http://69.195.124.81/~erratica/2013/03/20/david-bollier-on-the-commons-para…

Next Friday: First Monthly POSSE Party (hosted by BACE Timebank!)

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all! I'm excited to announce a new monthly event that will be held on Third Fridays at sudo room: POSSE [Potluck Orientation Skill-share Swap-meet Event) Parties! Bring some food to share and meet local visionaries creating a more cooperative economy through alternative currencies such as timebanking, skill-share and resource-exchange circles. This is a family-friendly event, and childcare will be provided. Thinking this is also a great way to make one of our weekly 'Hacker Happy Hours' more family-friendly and health-oriented (though of course, no beverage turned away!). I'll be printing fliers at sudo today and will leave some on the main table. It would be great if folks could help with outreach, so grab a few fliers and post them up at your coffeeshop / community center / library / public space of choice! Event is on the sudo room calendar: https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/bace-timebank-posse-party/?instance_id=663… And there's also a FB event - please join if you plan on coming, and invite your friends! https://www.facebook.com/events/567378529994045/567385649993333/?notif_t=pl… Flier attached.

large garage sale this Saturday

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, If anyone is interested in a kick-ass garage sale this Saturday, come check out Central Self Storage in Alameda: http://www.centralselfstorage.com/p/self_storage/directions/alameda-ca-9450… This place is walking distance from our 84-unit apartment building that will be closing down next month, so I expect there will be way more great stuff for sale than usual. Carla and I will be there all day (8am-3pm), trying to get rid of some really nice pieces, including some Indonesian and African carvings, various statues, large glass bottle vases, some furniture, etc. In other words - Come buy some of our crap, so we don't have to move it! Some of it is really nice crap too! Patrik

one or two day inventory + clear out of sudo room: scheduling request

by Marina Kukso

please complete the following poll to indicate your availability for a one or two day event either the weekend of july 20-21 or 27-28 for a sudo room inventory, clear out, and rearrange event. poll here: http://www.doodle.com/e8vwvvs6e24wkwy4 marina ps - my perspective is that we will probably need two days (day 1 to take everything out/take inventory and day 2 for rearranging & putting things back in), but i understand that other people also apparently have lives and commitments :)

Re: [sudo-discuss] lockers

by Yardena Cohen

Lockers are acquired! There are 5 units with 2 lockers each. Each of these 10 lockers has a small square shelf and a tall L-shaped shelf. It turns out these don't need built-in locks, they just have loops to put a padlock through. So folks should probably acquire their own padlocks. How much should we charge for them? I was thinking we could charge a flat rate per locker, and we can share them for discount rates. Who'd like to share with me? :) The ad asked for $50 but the guy dropped it to 40 when he learned what they are for. Instead of reimbursing me, I'll just let it go towards my locker tab. Although membership is of course sliding scale, we should make it clear that locker dues aren't meant to be a substitute for member dues or a new form of special membership. It's just another fundraiser. So everybody pay up, help us cut down on clutter, and enjoy your new lockers!

Re: [sudo-discuss] sudo room elevator access control

by Jake

awesome work! although i think you meant to say "flip the switch to allow the elevator to operate normally when sudoroom is open (switch position OFF), and make sure to flip the switch back ON (elevator lockout enabled) when you are closing sudoroom and leaving" also, if the raspberry pi crashes it is not guaranteed that it will lower the GPIO pin and allow normal operation of the elevator. You should consider a watchdog program that does something if the raspi stops responding. -jake Marc Juul wrote: Hi sudoers. The sudo room elevator is now hooked into the sudo room access control system. Things you should know: Only the ability to use the elevator from downstairs is under access control. When you use door.sudoroom.org to open the outer street-level door it will also allow you to use the elevator for the next 40 seconds. When you go to door.sudoroom.org you will notice that there is a new button for the elevator. You only need to use this if you are not also unlocking the street-level door. This will allow you to use the elevator for the next 20 seconds. The elevator button on door.sudoroom.org does not call the elevator, it only disengages the lockout so that pressing the button will call the elevator. There is a manual override switch mounted just outside of the door leading into the sudo room space. You can and SHOULD use this to disable elevator access control when you are in the space, but BE SURE TO ENABLE ACCESS CONTROL IF YOU ARE THE LAST TO LEAVE. If the raspberry pi crashes, then the access control will disable and the elevator will function normally. -- Marc Juul

Coordinating Common Space!

by Jenny Ryan

Sudoers, The awesome Micaela from The Public School has launched a much-needed system for coordinating the common space at 2141 Broadway, and I've been adding content to it this afternoon: http://2141broadway.wordpress.com The calendar has been updated with the regular meetups and events that tend to use the common space throughout the week. If I've missed something, please drop me a line. The site also contains guidelines on having events & meetups in the common space, a form for proposing events, info on access and directions, some notes on safety, and soon, a safer space policy! If you're interested in working on a Safe Space policy, contact me off-list and we can coordinate a brainstorm session in tandem with The Public School. Yours, 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.

This Saturday TIL: July 6: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers, everyone!)

by Marina Kukso

Hi everyone, Just a reminder that you are welcome to join us this Saturday (7/6) at 2PM for Today I Learned: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers, everyone!)<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_6:_GIT_Version_Control_for_N…> . What is git anyway? "Git allows a team of people to work together, all using the same files. And it helps the team cope with the confusion that tends to happen when multiple people are editing the same files." [source<http://www.quora.com/What-is-Git-used-for-What-does-it-do-exactly> ] It is one of the primary ways that coders work together and one of the key tools in the development of open source software. Although it's mostly used by coders, it has lots of potential uses for people who don't code and is very useful for anyone who is learning to code. We will be learning all about version control and trying it out ourselves! No prior knowledge is necessary. See you soon, Marina

Hey everyone, So I've been doing sound art meet ups at sudo room since about March now and I'm considering expanding the format a bit. How many of you would show up to an art and technology meet up?

Yoga on Friday July 5th at sudo at Noon

by Max Klein

I'm at trying to arrange a sudoers yoga lesson tomorrow Friday at noon. Hopefully an Earth Tribe Yoga teacher will respond in time. It will be for ultra beginners. But even if no one responds from there I will hack the yoga and DIY instruct together. No one can stop us now. Max

Re: [sudo-discuss] open thread for update on our door access mechanisms

by Jake

a really neat thing about linux these days - i don't know if this will work on the pi but when i want to script something involving a USB webcam or a USB serial port, instead of referring to it by /dev/ttyACM0 or whatever, i look for /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Keyspan__a_division_of_InnoSys_Inc._Keyspan_USA-19H-if00-port0 you can put that into your thing instead of /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever, and it will always work - no matter what order the serial ports come up in. i mean not that you took my advice last time... -jake max klein wrote: keypad update: with new self-healing improvements has just set record uptime at 30 hours. i am monitoring this. the problem is that rpi sometimes chokes and the arduino comes up as a different usb device. so i constantly scan and to find the right usb device. an issue is that the rfid needs to be usb0 so it has to grab that first, and normally does in every instance ive seen it (unless the pyshical usb order gets switched).

No more pews

by Yardena Cohen

Apparently I am our landlord's new preferred liaison. He called my phone at 10:45 tonight and complained at length about the common area. Specifically, he said the pews need to go by the end of the month. He says he never gave permission for them, and he's hated them from the beginning. He also suggested they be donated to the Joshua Christian Church in West Oakland which was apparently smashed up by a car last week. He said if they're not gone by the end of the month he will remove them himself, possibly by bludgeoning them into pieces and carrying the pieces to a dumpster. I did not say yes or no. It was very hard to get a word in edgewise, but I repeated several times, "I cannot speak for sudoroom. I will relay your message to the group. Thank you for letting us know." For context, the common area is actually cleaner today than it's been in almost two weeks. To be perfectly honest, the timing tells me that he's been stewing in frustration for quite a while. I think seeing a moderate improvement gave him some clarity in terms of what he wants. Frankly we've abused his flexibility about the common area. The pews do encourage people to act irresponsibly, to forget we are guests out there, to neglect to clean up after events, to turn it into a garbage dump. By evicting the pews he's saying the party's over, stay in the area you're paying for, unless you want to pay for the rest of it. He did offer to quote us on the full square footage of the common area, if we want... It didn't have to be this way. If it was just the pews, I think he'd deal. But he sees them as a slippery slope, a gateway to an overall sense of entitlement beyond what he owes us, and I can't say I'm surprised.

keypad update: with new self-healing improvements has just set record uptime at 30 hours. i am monitoring this. the problem is that rpi sometimes chokes and the arduino comes up as a different usb device. so i constantly scan and to find the right usb device. an issue is that the rfid needs to be usb0 so it has to grab that first, and normally does in every instance ive seen it (unless the pyshical usb order gets switched).

open thread for update on our door access mechanisms

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, we are at the meeting and have been discussing the status of our various door access mechanisms. as we were discussing them, we realized that we were partly in a fog of unknowing. so this email is a request for information on the status of our different mechanisms: - door.sudoroom.org: FUNCTIONAL - rfid: unfunctional this morning - unclear function now - keypad: unfunctional this morning, functional this evening: WHY? =O - buzzer: unfunctional this morning, functional after jordan logged in and restarted the mouseread daemon. for folks who are working on these systems, it would be great if you could let the list know what the known issues are with these systems, where we're at, and what work needs to be done. please consider this an open thread for updates on the status of our access systems. thanks! marina

Sudo Room Neighborhood Outreach

by Jenny Ryan

Hey folks, I've started a spreadsheet to list nearby (1 mile radius) community organizations, schools, churches, non-profits etc to reach out to. Next step would be to put together a flier of some sort that could list some of the activities that happen in the space (eg TIL, Sudo Kids, Microcontroller Hacking Night, Hacker Happy Hour, etc) and some of the ongoing projects (Community Democracy Project, Oakland Wiki, the Mesh Network group, etc;). If you have design skills and would be interested in helping with that, please email me or reply to this thread! Please add to the list as you wish, especially if you or someone you know can serve as a point of contact for that org: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao_Q7DQvNFT-dEdhZUJaQ3dDY2plMj… 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.
