REMINDER: Next meeting this Sunday at 4p! Screenwriters' meetup at 5p! Let's all decide upon a name for the new list!! Major props to Eddan for taking notes! Reviving hackerspace passports out of SR has been a dream of mine! @Eddie: Would you be down to do a Today I Learned on book binding? Maybe we could incorporate the passports into a workshop as one of the projects people could chose to work on? I think we don't have to stop at the figure of a bear, though it would serve nostalgia well. Is this turning into a conversation on building Sudo Room's own multi-functional robot akin to Noisebridge's MC Hawking? For reference: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noise-Bot Yay, Vicky

Another SR revenue opportunity?

by Tony Barreca

Please check out this video. I don't know if SR has the facilities and skills to make and sell these "drops," but as the video shows, they have some compelling attributes: They're inexpensive, easy to make, and consumable, which gives them a financial "evergreen" trait. Not only that, but there's plenty of silicon dioxide on the planet. http://io9.com/meet-prince-ruperts-drop-its-about-to-blow-your-mind-4586935… -- Tony Barreca LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/tonybarreca Skype: tonybarreca Twitter: tbarreca Mobile: (510) 710-5864

my hackathon round up

by Romy Ilano

I drew a bunch of pages of comics I got a lot of research done on bitcoins--talking to people i saw some really neat things that are going to be showcased tomorrow! what i love about sudoroom is that we don't need to have hackathons that often, people here are hacking 24-7. We don't need go to a big hackathon event run by big companies or by non profits because we do this seven days a week. it's in our blood.

Today I Learned June 15: From Phone Phreaks to Wiki Leaks: A History of Ethical Hacking

by Andrew

Hi All, I'm teaching a class on June 15. Feel free to cross post to Public School, Noisebridge, etc.. Sign up here if you are interested: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#June_15:_From_Phone_Phreaks_to_Wi… Before "White Hat" hackers and "Black Hat" hackers there were "Ethical Hackers". These groups and individuals may not have always stayed within the confines of the law, but followed a well defined ethic. This is the story of MIT pranks, the golden age of the BBS, The Great Hacker War, Steve Jackson Games vs. The US Secret Service, Old school hacking tech ( Blue Boxing, Red Boxing, War Dialing, etc ), New Hack City and the rise of the Cult of The Dead Cow, Free Kevin!, Hacktivismo, and more... The Hacker Manifesto by +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike. -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

radio update

by Marina Kukso

hi all, radio room is clean, spiffy, and ready to use. for real this time. i am ready to help any of you or small groups of you (however many will fit in the studio) learn how to share audio on the livestream. i've also written some documentation that should ideally help anyone get started livestreaming on their own and provide them with detailed instructions for troubleshooting the most common problems encountered: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sudo_Radio next step is to keep doing trainings until all of you are happy with your competence levels and to start scheduling shows. we're currently using this sadly neglected spreadsheet to do show scheduling ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApmrUsz7z5DodDVaZnJ4TW1ndC1jd1…) but alternative scheduling ideas are welcome. - marina ps - you may have noticed that i have only spoken about livestreaming thus far and have not mentioned recording or producing. this is because for now, we've had more interest in livestreaming than in doing audio production, so i've been focusing on getting that ready for people to use, but the next step is production...and anyway, audacity (audio recording and production software) is installed on the studio computer, so you are welcome to futz with it to your heart's content. pps - the documentation needs a bunch of images and formatting cleanup. i am working on this.

Japanese versus American Hero archetypes

by Romy Ilano

http://roboheart.com/2012/02/12/japanese-vs-american-hero-archetypes/ No this isn’t about who would win in a fight between Superman and Goku. Specifically this is about a particular mainstream Japanese hero character I see over and over again in Shonen action based Anime / Manga and how it compares to mainstream American super heroes. Of course I don’t mean to say there aren’t characters on both sides that break the mold, only that the type I describe seems interestingly prevalent in modern mainstream media. *Growth Mindset* *For me, the biggest difference is that Japanese super powers are based around a growth mindset. The hero must train hard to unlock his hidden potential.* Even if he is the chosen one of some kind or come from another planet, it doesn’t come for free, it takes hard work. Most American super heroes were born with their powers or gained it all at once through some happenstance beyond their control. They will usually go through an awkward period of learning how their powers work, but it will be more about discovery than training. The most obvious direct explanation for this difference is the cultural importance of martial arts in Japan and other Asian countries, as well as a more strict work ethic. Most of the super powers imagined are centered around martial arts and notion of building Chi. Many Anime have their own names for this force. Chakara, Haki, Nen, Raetsu or Spirit Force, just to name a few. These forces are brought out through training and will power. Characters are at their most powerful when put in desperate situations and they are forced into a fit of rage, protecting the ones they love. I might suggest that American superpowers are looked at like property, or even like winning the lottery. Japanese powers are more like the inextricable essence of a person, perhaps not unlike a Samurai referring to his sword as an extension of his soul. *Magic VS Science* Japanese powers seem more often based in magic, the powerful life force inside us all. That or at least the laws of the universe are different from our own. For example, “Full Metal Alchemist” takes place in a world where alchemy really works. American powers are way more often science related, and rooted in our own universe, or at least a universe that is very similar to our own. Unfortunately those powers are often based on unrealistically huge breakthroughs and severe mishaps, since that’s the only way to go from the ordinary world to something so amazing. Also the scientific explanations are usually so flimsy they may as well be magic. The fact that these Manga superheroes likely exist in an alternate world yet American ones are grounded in this one, is interesting to me. I wonder if this means that Manga superpower stories are a deeper form of escapism. Even if American heroes take part in a world unknown to us, it usually is supposed to exist in parallel, somewhere under our noses, hidden from the notice of us ordinary people. *Dynamic Power Ups* The ability to power up when they need to defeat a stronger opponent isn’t in and of itself isn’t unique, but some Japanese characters take this to a whole new level. Some even quantify their power ups by calling them gears or levels. The prime example is Dragon Ball Z. The idea that you can turn these various states of power at will like shifting gears on a car isn’t something I can ever remember seeing in an American character, with the exception of when a character somehow borrows or steals another characters powers for a particular fight. *Intuition* This Japanese hero is not very bright, but somehow always does the right thing when it matters. They are ruled by powerful and accurate intuition. As in the way of the Samurai, all decisions are made in the space of seven breaths, or much less. Because of this their decisions sometimes seem rash to those around them, though over time people grow to have faith in them. American heroes will often struggle with the right thing to do. Also, the main hero in Manga always seems to have simple powers, simple attacks, compared to the other characters in that world anyway. He may sometimes use them in a clever way, it is much more likely for the villain to have complicated or tricky powers. I think it’s somehow related to honor, that simple powers befit an honest hero. *Care Free Attitude* This is related to their intuition I think. These Manga heroes tend not to spend a lot of time worrying, and may even seem careless. They have been know to randomly fall asleep at inopportune moments, and accidentally say the wrong thing at the wrong time. They have an innocence about them. After all they usually are teenagers. This quality may also be related with the way of the Samurai, treating matters of grate importance lightly and small matters with the utmost seriousness. *Strength From Friendship* Unlike a lot of American heroes, they are not usually tormented loners, forbidden from personal relationships. Often their friends and family have lesser powers themselves. They focus very heavily on being able to protect their loved ones, but often have faith in them to take care of themselves. American superheroes always seem to be carrying around a grate weight on their shoulders, like their power is burden. Anime / Manga characters usually seem to treasure their strength, their ability to protect people. For them, the ones they love ARE their strength, instead of their weakness. They often reach a new level of power up through the rage of a loved one being threatened or hurt. The American superhero is surrounded by ordinary humans. They are infinitely more capable than everyone around them, so they are infinitely more responsible and isolated. It also makes me wonder if the American mindset is that it’s only worth having power if it is far far greater power than anyone else. The Japanese hero is surrounded by other super powered people. They don’t start at the top. There are always more powerful people who drive them to advance and become the best. *Enormous Appetite* I really have no Idea about this one, but quite a few of these Manga heroes seem to be able to eat an absurd amount of food. I guess they need the energy to fuel all those power ups. The most extreme examples of this are Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, and more recently Toriko, which is largely based around eating. *Purity *This isn’t necessarily a difference, but the Manga heroes seem to be very pure hearted and noble even if they seem brash on the outside. Plenty of American Supers are noble, but there seems to be slight distinction in my mind. American heroes are either totally super noble like Superman or Captain America, or they have some kind of character flaw that they must overcome to rise to the heroes call. Their Japanese counterparts flaws aren’t usually flaws at all. They don’t get in the way of them being a hero, they are part of their personality and may actually make them better at what they do. They don’t seem to be in conflict with themselves. Their apparent character flaws are a product of their innocence instead of their corruption or weakness. Again this may have a lot to do with their relatively young age.** I can’t really say what this all adds up to, or even why I felt compelled to TRY and quantify it, only that I think it is interesting to see the kinds of fictional characters that our very different cultures idolize. I enjoy superheroes on both sides of this analysis, but I find that they access different feelings. I think the Manga hero archetype is a more joyful and passionate, where as the American one is more about wish fulfillment, with a bit of “Careful what you wish for.” thrown in.** *Update:* Just responding to some comments on reddit<http://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/pnps8/japanese_vs_american_hero_arch…>that there should be more specific American comics references. I admit it is a bit one sided in that regard, but I kind of figured if you’re reading this in English you probably know more than you care too already about popular American superheroes from the many Hollywood movies of late. Maybe that was a mistake. This wasn’t supposed to be an unbiased essay, just some observations I made that were interesting to me. I do have more interest in Anime in recent years, but I’m definitely not trying to convince anyone of anything. I don’t have an agenda, I don’t think. I’m not trying to bend facts to suite an argument, however I will fully concede to the possibility that I may be seeing patterns where there are none, or looking too deeply in too narrow a spot. Humans are particularly good at this in general. In the end I’m just surprised people actually wanted more information on this. I always assume people will find these posts long winded. Anyway, criticism taken. *Update 2:* Okay, I don’t think I have the patience to expand this into a full essay with citations equally on both sides. I did adjust a few minor phrases to be a BIT more specific and disclaimatory, if that is even a word. So I will just list below the particular hero characters I was referencing between the lines. Apply what you know, maybe that will clear this up a little. Not every point I TRY to make applies entirely to each character, but hopefully they hold generally true. Generalizations definitely aren’t the only thing important in an analysis, but at least initially, they can be the only way to see a pattern. Of course I know they can also be used for evil. With great generalization come great responsibility. Now, I don’t want to think about this ever again. * Japan* Goku – DBZ, obviously, really seems like the precursor to the next 5. Monkey D Luffy – One Piece Natsu – Fairy Tail Gon – HunterXHunter Naruto, Shippudden or otherwise Toriko Elric Brothers – Full Metal Alchemist, mainly just to exemplify an alternate world with different rules. Not as many similarities to the others. *USA* Superman Spiderman Ironman Captain America Thor Green Lantern Batman, probably the most growth mindset oriented of the group

They're configured in two different places, right? It seems like there are a bunch of different machines. I'll try to write up MY understanding. Bonded phone lines come out of the wall, into the Sonic.net router Sonic.net router is connected by ethernet to: Horchata, firewall, in the closet, IP 192.168.1.1, connected by ethernet to: D-Link Gigabit Switch, on shelf above closet, with many things plugged into its ethernet ports, including: Port 1: Horchata Port 4: Cisco AP Other ports: Tamale, radio room, random places The Cisco AP has IP 192.168.1.49 and appears to be running dd-wrt, but nobody knows the password. Which of these machines is "the router"? The thing that needs the Java app to access? Is it Horchata? Are the router and firewall the same machine? Sorry for being verbose, I just want to be very clear before changing anything. Thanks!

Sudoers, A friend just sent me a link to a video, Naked Citizen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZxd8w11YSA&feature=youtu.be which reminds me of a television show that I've seen some episodes of: Person of Interest (I think that's the name). Of some interest, Journeyman Pictures has a whole raft of eye-opening stuff: http://www.youtube.com/user/journeymanpictures?feature=watch judi

First hack of the hackathon from sacramento

by Romy Snowyla

Hello good morning ! Started my first sudoroom hack in downtown sacramento the cartoon below that can be letter pressed or silkscreen printed and eventually given as an intro card to what we are about for donations Maybe we could even print this on the back of circuit boards for future electronics kits-- yes we can !!! My butt hurts from biking all over sacramento -- met a cool food activist bike shop edible pedals that does food delivery from farms by bike. We need to descend en masse on sacramento in the party bus and learn from all the rad people here! Sent from my iPad

Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY'

by Jenny Ryan

via johannes of monochrom (author of Hacking the Spaces<http://www.monochrom.at/hacking-the-spaces/>, a must-read for those interested in hackerspace culture and inclusivity): ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: j. grenzfurthner/monochrom (das ende der nahrungskette) < jg(a)monochrom.at> Date: Sat, May 25, 2013 at 3:05 AM Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions: 'ID/ENTITY' To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Arse Elektronika 2013 / Call for Submissions ID/ENTITY monochrom's festival on sex and tech and id/entities. October 3-6, 2013 in San Francisco. Call for talks, performances, workshops, games, machines. Deadline for submissions: July 15, 2013 ---------------- Sex, technology, identity... big-ass sweeping themes for Arse Elektronika 2013. Identity, but also identification. Technologies for the exploration of identities. Technologies for the articulation and performance of identities. Technologies for the enforcement of hegemonic identities. Technologies for the verification of identities. For example: What about the vast fencing-off of the old wild internet; the #nym-wars and the push for "real names"? We typically assume there is 'something' that takes and/or performs an identity. What is this entity? Are awareness and consciousness strictly limited to and made sense of in human experience alone? How is identity understood and made sense of in terms of artificial intelligence? What might transhuman, android, or cyborg identities consist of? What does sexual desire mean to a dolphin? We have technology-based identities. If we are to agree that agency is a key factor in identity AND position technology as extension/manipulation of agency, then is technology an identity in and of itself? The Bay Area, famous as a place to "find yourself," also hosts vast projects to organize and catalog the world's identities, whether they want that or not. So, how does the Californian Ideology drive identity politics and techno-sexuality? Will apps like Bang With Friends and gadgets like Google Glass provide us with the ultimate gonzo pornoverse? And why are services like LinkedIn explicitly banning escorts from using the site to get clients? What have been the social ramifications of Web 2.0, ten years on? By what means have queer users of dating sites and social networks reframed or otherwise hacked the systems surrounding them? What is the design history of the drop-down gender menu- and its alternatives? How did Facebook's inclusion of "in an open relationship" as a standard option for one's relationship status affect youth mores? What has been the effect of location-based hookup apps on the architecture of cruising? What are the economics of niche dating sites, and how are they policed? What are the ethical obligations surrounding the ability to algorithmically identify those who are in the closet? What technologies could ensure more flexible, fluid identities? What would TSA protocols look like if they were designed from a queer perspective? What does counter-surveillant fashion look like? How might we ensure the right not to be found? (Should we?) Are there technologies for anonymity that do not also afford stalking and harassment? Are there technologies for transparency that do not also afford stalking and harassment? If an identity requires recognition (either by the self or through the Other), then is it ever possible to be "truly" or "identifiably" queer? Is 'queer identity' an oxymoron? Former Tory chairman Lord Tebbit warns that legalizing gay marriage in the UK "opens up the possibility of a lesbian queen giving birth to a future monarch by artificial insemination." Interesting times for sex tech? Indeed! What about a historic dimension? What were techno-sexual systems of identity like in the past? What were the technologies of masked rituals? What technologies drove the invention of privacy? How did the adoption of fingerprinting change the regulation of prostitution in the early 20th century? Besides hanky-flagging, what techniques/technologies were used to signal 'deviant' interests? How was handwriting judged in the evaluation of potential lovers? What is the techno-social history of the "secret admirer?" How will technological progress change the way we see ourselves? What are we without our iPhone and our beloved designer vibrator? Is the Marxian commodity fetish actually entering the sphere of (what a wordplay!) customization fetishism? If orgasm patterns are unique and impossible to duplicate, could one's sexual response be the ultimate biometric identifier? So, how worried should we be about the spectre of sphincter-printing? What about Big Data in a sexual context? Does size matter? What about a decent ontological debate with your buttplug's AI? Well... dear entities out there, with your proud Egos, Super-Egos and Hyper-Egos! Never forget that there is an Id lurking round the corner! The real Voight-Kampff test is not minding that it hurts! ---------------- Please submit through our form: http://bit.ly/18eOWEP Deadline for submissions: July, 15 2013 For questions, please email: office AT monochrom.at ---------------- http://www.monochrom.at/arse-**elektronika<http://www.monochrom.at/arse-elektronika> ______________________________**_________________ Noisebridge-discuss mailing list Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.**noisebridge.net<Noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net> https://www.noisebridge.net/**mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-**discuss<https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss>

[Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Got word and confirmation from George today that he is dissatisfied with our current access system--meaning we may no longer leave the door on 22nd propped open whatsoever. We need to (a) resolve our membership identification problem and (b) unify and maintain our full access management solution and provide it to all members (c) set up a telephone inside sudo room (d) expand access solutions to the public school, possibly other tenants up to a fair exchange (e) keep the hallway on 22nd to the elevator absolutely clear of all items. Seriously, we are on thin ice and if we want to remain committed to public access and thriving events, we need to get our shit together. I personally cannot commit to resolving any of the above items--but I do offer help and feedback to folks who can commit. // Matt

Beta test Sudo Radio App

by J.C.

Hey all, I've put together a really simple desktop player that streams audio from sudoradio.com https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoPod The main feature of this app is that it has an integrated web server and API, so you can run it on your desktop/laptop speakers and be able to control it from any device with a browser on your network. So if you have a Mac or Win machine and want to try it out, let me know, at some point I'll probably do a iOS/Android version as well. Also if anyone wants to setup this up on a desktop in sudo room it can be remotely controlled by anyone on the network. -- ThanX, ;+) https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/%C3%9F%C3%AA%C3%A3%C2%B5

Sudoers do Yoga: A special Yoga deal I cut with Earth Tribe Yoga

by Max Klein

Greetings and Namaste, I'm a horribly stiff man that war born without the ability to bend past a 20 degree angle. But lately I've been going a few days a week to http://www.earthtribeyoga.com/ on Franklin and 20th (2 blocks from sudo). Now its 25 degrees. Earth Gribe is a cool space, they are essentially sudoers of the yoga world - their classes and space are completely free, and run on member donations. So if we wanted to we could just go to their classes together. Last Sunday, I was the only person at the 5pm class, and got a private lesson. I remembered how intimidating it is to go to Yoga when you don't feel stretchy. So I asked the peeps if they would do *a private lesson for sudoers*. They said yes if we got *5 people at $5/person*. We could do it at their location or at sudo. and the time can be negotiated. Tor now I'm going to propose Sunday at 6, but I'm so flexible. So does anyone want to go with me to regular classes, or start a private group? notcofusingly, Max

CJDNS - Hyperboria - Project Meshnet

by Alcides Gutierrez

Hi everyone! I've been in the space a few times and told a couple of folks about my mesh network ambitions. So now we're fundraising for CJDNS support for Openwrt and Windows. CJDNS is a mesh protocol flavor that emphasizes privacy through built-in encryption and encourages trust and socializing through a trusted peer model. Hyperboria is a pretty large network of CJDNS networks ('mesh islands') scattered across the globe and connected via Internet tunnel. Several services are run such as HypeIRC, and some only accessible via Hyperboria. Project Meshnet is an effort to research, develop, and deploy functional mesh networks based on CJDNS and also expand Hyperboria to become the next generation of the Internet. Ambitious, yes. But very hard to do with the current state of support: Linux and MacOS. If we can support Openwrt and Windows the doors can open wider for development and testing. If you or anyone you know is interested in supporting this development, visit fund.meshwith.me . $125 gets you a wireless router preconfigured with peers so all you have to do is plug it in and connect to Hyperboria. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Im usually on #Noisebridge and #Sudoroom on Freenode (VaporOne). But feel free to explore projectmeshnet.org or even install a node on your Linux and explore Hyperboria! Alcides Gutierrez http://e64.us

- Proposal: "The official policy of Sudo Room is to only act on requests by the Land Lord that are given to Sudo Room *in writing *by the Land Lord or one of the Land Lord's agreed upon representatives, except in cases of emergency (ie. preventing injury), or compliance with already written city codes." --Andrew - Discussion: - Some agreement on formalizing the relationship whether it's in moving forward with the proposal as written or designating points of contact (ie, the landlord should communicate items directly with leaseholders) - we asked for the current door to be installed - concerns about being handed a notice (in writing) to remove things from the common space - do we have recourse? can we counter/compromise? - some suggestions to work very hard to make any request for formalization seem conciliatory instead of hostile/aggressive - what does our lease say? it offers the common space as an amenity. will email the text of the lease for further details - if we are making a move to formalize/legalize the relationship, it may indicate a serious souring of the relationship. we should be willing to deal with potential consequences. we want a great relationship with the landlord that is informal at best. if we are concerned - we have to remember that we are tenants and bring him income, so we have power - it is important to be able to give people without keycards/rfid access to the space during daytime hours (ie, benefit of open door) - good to have expectations clear from what should be in the common area - the goal ultimately is to communicate clearly and consistently vs just having a goal of having things in writing - suggestion: working group to develop the items that we want expectations about - reiterate to landlord that it's to the landlord's benefit to make expectations clear - LMI offers a telephone line which we can set up and have that be one point of contact - we offer a lot of events, collaborate with the public school, have random people, etc....so a lot of it is potentially outside our control and we do often overstep a lot of what a normal tenant does and other landlords would not necessarily be as conciliatory - one solution is to rent more spaces :) - Membership & Access Discussion: who is a member? what are the benefits of membership? how is membership related to access? - Articles of Association on member benefits: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Section_2.3_Benefits - Straw poll on membership and access: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1zCaEAVVjLwMrWcoPlGb09-G6bvaaiewi33FTz3OBpt… - Discussion: - what is the current way to get in the space? ad hoc with a principle of limiting the number of keys - web of trust: basically, we've been giving rfid's, pw's to the web-based opening mechanism, and keys to individuals on an ad hoc basis (if they ask for access, etc.) - andrew has been acting as "keymaster" role - proposal for unofficial keymaster role: humans who volunteer to help people get in (helpful if they live nearby or are often in the building for other reasons) - important to reconcile whatever we decide with the articles (change them if htey need to be changed) and keep in mind that whatever we do, it should be in line with our values: commitment to public access & providing a safe space under the auspices of an association of members who get access and have certain benefits - Feedback from new person: the meeting is not the best way for a new person to get acquainted to the space because it requires some previous knowledge. what would be a good time for a new person to come to learn more about: collaborating, learning about existing projects, and learning things. - Space / New Space / The Search Continues - Priorities / values - Historical / Previous requirements for any potential space are listed here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Sudo_room/open_a_space - Please note that those are from last year and is in need of updates--let's do that now! - Exterior security - safety of the surrounding area - Lease vs month-to-month rent (latter preferred) - Kitchen / communal kitchen - Street-facing - No regressions from the current space - Strategy - Use http://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/ (ask Romy or Matt for admin access) - Tweet any space details *@sudoroom* - Email *info(a)sudoroom.org* - Craigslist posting looking for friends: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/off/3789289305.html - Updates from NoBAWC meeting @ sudo room - New Logos - Ryan - informal straw poll for set of 9 logos (numbering goes from top left and zigzags to bottom right): - 1: 0 - 2: 2 - 3: 5 - 4: 6 - 5: 3 - 6: 3 - 7: 0 - 8: 5 - 9: 2 - What time for sunday's hackathon? (see action items) ==Action Items== Scribe: - Romy will implement our bitcoin acceptance program - Matt will follow up with Tommy re: getting a bank account - Additional items for Sunday hackathon: list of expectations to discuss with landlords, membership management service - Marina will prepare summary of proposed membership/access configurations from the list for people to review. ** further hacking on this during sunday hackathon - Marina will send a list of items that are planned to be hacked on sunday and what kinds of skills are necessary for them. include in the email request for people to indicate what they want to work on and what time they would be available + a callout for GOALS for the day (and request to bring tofu for bbq and the bbq itself) === Meeting Brief for Announce List === *Scribe:** Make a succinct highlights message based on the meeting minutes* ==Post-Meeting Teamups / Discussion== Co-Facilitators: YOU! & ? - Recap on IRC - meet after the meeting to move shit downstairs - talk to andrew about the written communication with the landlord - speak with woody about building bumpmapping

communal living / Good Earth Hamlet // eco village in india

by Romy Ilano

http://www.goodearthhomes.net/Hamlet.html back to the topic of communal living spaces / alternative archiectures... i stumbled on this webiste today. good earth homes makes ecovillages and beautiful experimental apartment complexes in India. check out how the building is made! everyone's windows face inward... it's quite beautiful. it reminds me of the pretty hof buildings in Berlin with huge courtyards. what do you think of this? It's also a nod to a more communal lifestyle... Yes, I know these things are for the more well-heeled, but it's a start right? As a tech worker I know I'm more privileged than most people in the SF Bay area. Hamlet Cochin Good Earth’s first venture into community housing was 'Good Earth Hamlet'. An attempt at community housing which bridged the existing gap between independent houses and the urban stereotype block of flats. The emphasis has been on community spaces to encourage interaction while at the same time providing for individual privacy. The half-acre plot is on the banks of the Kaniampuzha river located in Chalikkavattom, a quiet suburb of Cochin. The central courtyard creates an intimate space, free from vehicles and safe for children to play. The circular form is most economical, both in terms of space and structure. Seventeen units, using an FSI of one, and a height of ground and two upper stories are appropriate, considering structural economics, as well as the blending in with the surroundings. The setback areas serve as private backyards for the ground floor units, and the first floor duplex units have terraces at each level. As one enters the hamlet through wooden gates, a paved pathway leads to the green, undulating courtyard beyond which one catches a glimpse of the waterfront through the stilted semi-open area. The stilted areas on the ground floor act as wind tunnels and enhance the air circulation in the courtyard. The structure is recessed in parts at the first and second floor level to form terraces overlooking the courtyard. These terraces break down the mass of the structure and together with the sloping roofs make an interesting form. Walking around the courtyard, past the collage of corbelled seats and bay windows, one is drawn to the waterfront, where a club and crèche lie on either side of the semi-open space used for interaction. Each individual unit has been designed to have an identity, in terms of its planning and location in the community. *Every*home has adequate natural light and cross ventilation. The interior spaces flow into each other, having walls only where required. The bedrooms are oriented towards the outside, while the living areas overlook the courtyard. In keeping with our principles of cost-effective construction, the structures minimize the use of Reinforced concrete and steel. The 9" brick walls had the outer face exposed and flush pointed, and the inside plastered. Arches are used to span large openings and windows, while doors are spanned with pre-cast thin lintels. Economical timber sections of jack-wood and *anjali* are used for the doors and windows. Filler slabs, using rejected Mangalore tiles, make up the roof and the floors, thus making the slab lighter and also reducing structural steel. Besides being economical, the filler slab also keeps the inside cooler and is ideal for hot and humid climates. The interiors are kept simple with terra cotta flooring and lime washed walls, with an occasional arch or a bay window to add character to the space. The sewage system uses a series of septic tanks for the solid waste, while the grey water is separately treated. The rainwater from the roofs is allowed to percolate through the courtyard, thus recharging the ground water. Organic waste is collected for composting; to achieve a sustainable recycling system. Thus the design works efficiently, using minimum circulation space and a maximum of the site to create a built environment, which enhances the lives of its inhabitants. A result of enthusiastic teamwork between the architects, engineers, masons and other skilled workers, the project was completed within the estimated cost, in a period of 16 months. The hamlet today, with perhaps a flower patterned curtain on a window, clothes hanging on a terrace, people conversing across terraces and a tricycle left in a courtyard, feels warm and secure, giving room for individual expressions while embracing them into the community.

B&W darkroom setup

by Ben Hass

Hi all, I just found out about the sudo room while looking at the JavaScript user group meetup page and noticed the weekly study group. I'm hoping to check out the space sometime after I return to Oakland on June 1st. I look forward to seeing the space and meeting you all soon! I'm emailing now to see if anyone at sudo room is interested in setting up a darkroom? I have a pretty complete setup for B&W printing and enlarging. I also have a very cool Sinar P 4x5 view camera, though I'm still saving up for a nice lens. I would be happy to share use of the camera if others are interested in learning. I'm going to be driving cross-country on Sunday, so I'd need to know soon if there is interest in this project as I'm currently storing it here in Wisconsin. Maybe this is all a bit too archiac, but anyway I thought I'd see if anyone is interested. Best, Ben Hass 415-819-6755 benhass(a)gmail.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Think you're right that we are very close to completing item (b) I listed below. There are four others that require our attention. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Andrew" <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com> To: "Romy Ilano" <romy(a)snowyla.com> Cc: "sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] [Big Changes] Access Crisis 2013 Date: Tue, May 21, 2013 1:26 AM This can be resolved immediately with the technology we already have. There is no reason anyone to keep the door propped open. 1. door.sudoroom.org is up and running, we also have the mouse buzzer, which I hear is not working, but should be easy to fix. 2. Intercom still works3. RFID works. I have RFID fobs if anyone who doesn't already have one wants one. I also don't think that it's always Sudo Room that props the door open, Public School does this as well. But, as far as Sudo Room is concerned, no reason to keep the door open. --Andrew --Andrew On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 10:35 PM, Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: That is awesome!
