Hi All,
I am going to propose the following at the meeting tonight:
"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 Lords agreed upon representatives, except in cases of emergency
(ie. preventing injury), or compliance with already written city codes."
I will also propose that this be voted on tonight given the time
sensitivity and the severity of the issues we've had with the Land Lord.
I will also propose that pros and cons be listened to for a limited time
before voting as opposed to just taking general stack.
Thanks,
Andrew

Practical Options for Deploying IT Equipment in Small Server Rooms & Branch
Offices Source: APC by Schneider
Electric<http://www.techrepublic.com/research-library/apc+by+schneider+electric>
Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure,
hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to
system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get
management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a
short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT
operations within small server rooms and branch offices. This paper
discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical
security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this paper is on small
server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load.
I figure some good information can be found in this paper regarding server
options. For those interested, have a read
I'm sure it covers ground some people are familar with and some new
approaches as well,
Sincerely,
Troy
Hello Sudoers,
It's Wednes-daaaay nite! Which means meeting and dinner.
I have no funds to buy anything. Any suggestions? Pot luck? Bring Your Own Comestibles? If someone has a desire or vision, I and anyone else who is cooking (Marina? Sarah? Ari?) can whip it up.
Anthony and I had talked about buying a can of silkworms at Koreana, skewering them on bamboo skewers, lightly basting them in oil and roasting them with my butane torch. Next we would roll them in sugar and torch them again, thus creating a delicate brulee chrysalis. If there are enough interested we might buy 2 cans and u can roast your own. :)
Unmentionably yours,

I figured I would ask the list what they have found to be good e.mail
services without ads and usability popups from a giant mega corporation
that tracks your e.mails and doesn't work with e.mail clients like
thunderbird, and offers horrible "help" and has contacted e back only 2
times after the 20+ plus times I have sent e.mails to them.
I'm basically done with Goggle.com for e.mail ( yes that is a correct
spelling and how I will refer to them from now on as that is exactly what
Goggle has done to the internet culture by repackaging and commercializing
the internet into a comercially driven serach engine, it has made us myopic
quick fix searchers.)
Besides this is NOT what the internet was intended to become.
Does anyone know of any good secure e.mail sevices online with decent
storage that is free?
Frustratedly yours,
Troy
Bret Victor, an Oakland resident, keeps blowing my mind. His latest
video is about programming by drawing geometries. Most Mathematicians
work in pictures or with their kinesthetic sense, however, programming
is algebriac in nature - it is blind symbol manipulation. He argues we
have thus far merely emulated old drawing mediums with computer's
without utilizing their potential for simulation.
http://worrydream.com/#!/DrawingDynamicVisualizationsTalk
The site is loaded with gems. Inventing on principle changed my life.
His reading list is the finest I've seen. I've read to varying levels
of completion about 20 so far and haven't been disappointed yet. It
comprises a complete curriculum in winning.

Doorman and Sudoor were different heads of the same repo. I've since
merged them and synced their names, so now the canonical repo that I
hope everyone will continue using is in these two places:
https://gitorious.org/sudoor/sudoorhttps://github.com/yardenac/sudoor
I'm not sure where sudoor-addcode lives, but I'd like to merge that in as well.
Just to avoid confusion, other places I'm aware of are:
https://gitorious.org/doorman/doorman <--- No longer exists;
renamed to sudoor
https://github.com/jaekwon/sudoroom_doorman <--- distant ancestor
of current code
Is anybody aware of any other places where code is hiding?
I think the cheap lilypad i got is bust--from the error messages and what i

Hi alls
I made a wordpress page SudoRoom Status
https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-status/
I'd like for this eventually to be on the front sudoroom page
It is not currently on the front page.
we could have a web app with a big green light that shows that the space is
open on a particular day
it is often confusing for visitors
sometimes non members want to stop by and hang out, bringing wood equipment
etc. and they are not sure if it will be open or not
what do you think?
is anyone home? Before I drive over I wanna make sure I can get in.
if so ill be there in 20

hi all,
there's currently no workshop scheduled for this saturday's "today i
learned": https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned
i would volunteer, but unfortunately i'll be at the city slicker farms
backyard garden buildout during this time (sadly sold out
http://www.eventbrite.com/event/6712594551/eorg).
is anyone else interested in doing a TIL? alternately, we can let the TIL
field lie *untilled* this weekend and resume on june 1st. to sign up, just
add your name on the wiki page!
- marina
This has been a problem since Saturday morning. I'm told it may be a
bad connection but I don't know what to do about it. Would anyone
knowledgeable be willing to teach me how to troubleshoot and fix this,
so we can start printing things again? Thanks!
Yay! On that thread, the CYOA game designer I mentioned yesterday who I
learned about via the April Oakland Nights Live is Porpentine. She designs
games that are centered around queer/trans/female experience. The game she
walked us through was the "High End Customizable Sauna Experience":
http://aliendovecote.com/?p=4732
It's super fun! I really enjoyed speaking with her during intermission.
Maybe we could see if she'd be interested in joining a writers' meetup,
maybe a Choose Your Own Adventure-themed one? On that note, how do my
writing kin feel about theming meetups? Maybe I should save this for the
writers' list, but I just can't heelp it at this point...:P
of likely interest to Sudo folk...

Sound implausible? It might be. But that's the future that the aerospace industry, the FAA, and a new class of entrepreneurs are busy preparing.

I suck at cleaning !!! But I helped out a few weeks ago: I found these things in the back. They are probably still there.
They look like they enable a lot of neat creativity if they get some love. Maybe in between all the beer and burritos or during that someone can find some time::
Two projector like things . Just imagine! Instant art installation. One has a bulb that is new but the piece is off. Could some one help?
Here's another projector thing a document camera. Another potential art installation/ political slogan/ projection with instructions on how to get to the nearest immigrant safety and rights shelter on some lonesome street corner in Berkeley
Here's a food mixer that could be used to make salads so people at sudoroom don't have to constantly eat out and waste money
After you fix it you could take the logo off, paint art on it. Put a big rant and political slogan about bringing down the polygyny oligarchy .. Yeah !

Tomorrow is MicroController hack night. I'm working on Lillypad Arduino
(wearable electronics)
It's nice, I was able to get more done in the past 2 days than I have in
the past few weeks... and with a full-time job too! It's weird. I guess I
was just very good at avoiding listening to people pitch stuff. It's does
wonders for productivity.
I'm not sure if I can be very helpful tomorrow, as I am in a making mood! I
am not going to be so interested in hearing about people's kickstarters but
it's all good.
I just want to give happy energy at making and there will be a project that
will lead to nice things.
Useful videos to watch. I like these because I actually do stuff seeing
these... they will not get you stuck in the "not doing" cycle of doom.
These are very relevant videos for beginners.
- Becky Stern was an NYU New Media Lab graduate - her embroidery +
arduino videos are very helpful
- http://blog.makezine.com/2008/04/21/lilypad-arduino-embroider/
- Leah Buchley came up with the Lilypad design - she is cool -
http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/
Some parts of SudoRoom aren't quite prettily decorated with art. In the
long term future I would love to donate lace-dripped electronics and
embroidery to be part of useful things like the door project.
Sunday was a good day. Finally focused and actually worked on stuff /: wearable electronics. Just started! The first step
I used scraps from marinas old Halloween costume and borrowed one needles I think the sewing Crew left behind.
I used old thread left behind in the sewing room too.
For the embroidery I mostly faked my way through this.
Still figuring out the lilypad stuff. I avoided wasting my whole night looking at every other persons expensive fashion led project in the whole world
A guy from Portland came by who is visiting various hackerspaces. He was having a nice time here
I've been sidetracked and hijacked by a lot of people trying to get free PR for their projects
Thank you sudoroom !
Hi Matthew-
How many people at SudoRoom are in chronic econo-crunch or borderline
homeless?
How many of us are likely to fall for developer horse-puckey that these
little prison cells are "futuristic" and "high tech", considering that
the ones in San Francisco are designed to accommodate nearly-wall-sized
Telescreens?
Haven't we had numerous conversations including meetings, on the subject
of living arrangements and potential community developments?
How much of our listmail consists of two-word comments that would
ordinarily occur in a chat window or text message format? Personally I
find it inconvenient to have to keep deleting listmail threads
consisting of "I'm locked out," and "Coming" and "Thanks," and "Is
anyone in?" and "Yes," and suchlike, but I have no desire to tell others
what they should and shouldn't post on the list. It's not as if we're
being charged by the word, as with telegrams.
There's method to my madness. You don't have to trust me on that, and
you're welcome to not read anything I post, but at least I maintain
"subject header discipline" so you can spot the stuff you don't want to
read.
Finally, please respect my nym rights by not using names for me other
than the ones I use in my own postings. I don't go posting your PII
online, please don't post mine. BTW, that's not even remotely negotiable.
Peace-
-G.

Spilled a glass of water and I tried turning it off, letting it dry upside
down, but mouse and keyboard don't work, the screen flickers, and it keeps
turning itself on and off without my input.
Any help?
I tried opening the back of it, but don't have those tiny tools, any idea
where to get one? does sudoroom have any?
Thanks,

i remember when i was in undergrad in nyc in the mid 1990s and i had
friends at nyu film school. they didn't have fully digital video editing
back then.
it cost a lot of money to make a short film. I think some classmates of
hers were spending up to $10,000 on a film
i remember a similar situation for press, printing
the cost has gone down so much now. you can make a film for almost nothing;
even cartoons and animations
most of what you have to do is find focus and time.
that's always the hard part.
and making something that people actually find useful.
it's a lot of sh*twork and requires sacrifice planning and foresight
but the end result is worth it

Watching this video, it seems to me that we could do an automated foosball
game if we had some basic gearing going both ways.

Sounds fun, right?

Hi everyone,
Please join us this Saturday 5/18 at 2PM at Sudo Room (2141 Broadyway,
entrance on 22nd St., take the elevator upstairs) for Fix-It Day and Linux
Install Day!
We have a lot of computers and other equipment at Sudo Room in various
states of functionality. You may also have computers and other kinds of
equipment in various states of functionality! During this session we will
come together to test/repair computers and learn more about fixing
computers.
BONUS: Have you always been curious about Linux but not sure where to
start? If you are interested in installing Linux on your Windows computer
(it is not necessary to delete Windows to install Linux), we will also be
helping participants install Linux.
Sudoers who are interested in helping people install Linux: please bring
cd's, thumb drives, etc. for people to use.
*This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free
workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative
community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule
at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*

Hey hey yeh yeH
We're meeting Sunday at 4pm!
I'll be late! :[ :[ I have an unexpected job interview (w00t!) at 3pm. BUT,
you should arrive on time and mingle and merrymake as this event will
surely result in your making connections you never thought imaginable, and
your attendance at future meetups galore!
And always remember...
"Be what you would seem to be--or if you'd like it put more simply: Never
imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others
that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had
been would have appeared to them to be otherwise." --Lewis Carroll
Hello all!
We have a number of people who have signed up to help with Bike Smut, from
my sound system-moving posse to donations people, aphrodesiacal ice
creamateurs to watchful eyes.
If you have not yet expressed explicit interest in helping, now is the
time! Some time between 6 and 7pm is also the time, as my posse and I will
be arriving with sound system.
Please gchat/email me and I'll give you my DIGITS!
If we pay people for beer, if we buy burritos then why is it wrong to pay someone to clean?
Could we pay for a small family owned immigrant cleaning business to clean the common room and the space ?
I do not see sudo room getting into a cleaning skill set in the near future and that is ok

Greetings Hackians!
Tomorrow night will be the first screening of sexually charged movies at
Sudo Room and last time we will ever screen Bike Smut 6: Turning Trixxx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuDxS3mRc7M
Its the ULTIMATE screening!
Besides providing a forum for a variety of artists to share their thoughts
on human-powered transportation and sex-positive culture we will may also
be:
* watching a burlesque performance depicting how the bicycle liberated
women's fashion
* defining obscenity within the community
* meeting / flirting with other exciting minds
* playing the PSI game, behold the hilarious consensual action
* enjoying delicious malted beverages for extra reasonable donation
* winning $300 dollars worth of prizes from excellent sponsors (info below)
* supporting Sudo Room, because half of the door will stay with this
excellent space!
This has the potential to be a great fundraiser, but one person can't do it
all, but there are a few things you can do:
VOLUNTEER - email vicki <vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com>, and let her know when you
are available. (8pm is best but we work it out)
* help greet at the door
* serve delicious beverages
* monitor the space to keep Sudo Room excellent and not burnt down
* assist me and Vicki as we clean up afterward
* host an afterparty (helps to get people out!)
EDUCATE - besides the endless possibilities of Sudo Room, we are partnering
with other great organizations
* Fucking Sculptures local handcrafted glass sex toys
http://fuckingsculptures.com/
* Crash Pad Series provides some of the best queer porn on Earth
http://crashpadseries.com/queer-porn/2012/we-love-bike-smut/
* Sex Worker Fest helps address the stigma of the worlds oldest profession
https://www.facebook.com/sexworkerfest
* Oakland gallery owner, Eli Reyes was the victim of horrifying road rage
http://bikesmut.tumblr.com/post/50589635617/fuckingsculptures-signal-boost-…
PROMOTE - geeks are not known for their social graces, consider this a
great time to practice! You dont want to watch porn alone, do you?
* use FaceBook! https://www.facebook.com/events/151978064981763/

Sudo Room
2141 Broadway
doors at 8:22, starts at 9:07
$5-10 donation, no one turned away
adults only and you should all *dress fabulous! *
Even if you can't volunteer I hope you are able to attend. I think there
will be a number of people who have never been to this place before; it
will be grand to have engaging minds on hand to explain how cool Sudo Room
is!

we can use the "classic" mode likely through 2013, with options to migrate

I have backups just in case, and we can back more data up as we add to it.

Do you eat produce? Then you're already eating insects
http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInfor…
excerpt: "RAISINS, GOLDEN Insects and insect eggs
(AOAC 969.42 & MPM-V76) 10 or more whole or equivalent insects and 35
Drosophila eggs per 8 oz."
Pork is verboten for Jews and Muslims because of their scripture, not
because we haven't found a way to force them to eat it. Eating pork is
not as resource friendly as eating insects.
I don't eat meat, that doesn't make meat dirt to me.
No one will be forced to eat insects by any force other than meat
getting expensive.
Your categories beg the question, are insects dirt? I say dirt is dirt,
food is food, paper is paper, and poop is poop. If you're living in the
right area you will eat people, fish, insects, or diet coke. If insects
produce nutritious food at a decent price, why not? Seriously!
The types of insects being considered for food (caterpillars and
mealworms specifically) do not eat sewage, btw. If you know of any
insects that somehow eat sewage and become edible food, let me know
because I've never heard of that.
I've heard of plants using processed cow dung as fertilizer though, and
I'm ok with eating it, are you?
If you put aside the false equivalences of your 4 categories, can you
still make a case against insects as food?

you objected to the list being archived with your name, how would you
like to be cited if your article is republished elsewhere?
A friend of mine, Caitlyn, is riding and writing across the US this summer.
Amongst other things, she offers to deliver letters along her route
in-person! Pretty cool.
She is running an indiegogo campaign to raise funds for her journey and any
proceeds exceeding her goal go to Biketopia, a community bikeworkshop in
south Berkeley that I am part of. Support her here:

Make a great day,
Morten
I can't remember exactly from last week, but maybe you brought this up,
Marc?
I think this is a really great idea, which could bring in revenue (from the
kits), more revenue (from workshops focusing on building the kits, and not
necessarily for adults [sudo-kids?]), and members (from people who enjoy
the workshops thoroughly).
Though it is currently being done: If I remember correctly, I think people
in the community - Mitch Altman? - do workshops like this. And though an
internet "competitor" exists - Maker Shed's kits (http://www.makershed.com/)
- and I haven't yet done a significant amount of research about the kind of
kits that they offer and so forth, I think it'd be really neat to purchase
the parts, design really fun, age-appropriate packaging, sell the kits at
some kind of minimal markup online, then above and beyond that have
donation-suggested workshops where we guide people through the process of
assembling whatever the kit is. Even if other hackerspaces /
non-hackerspace entities / for-profit corporations are doing a similar
concept, we'll have people interested who are geographically proximate to
Sudoroom.
Also, we have ideas: the lock picking class brought in great PR (in my
opinion), and I'm guessing that the listserv would have a bunch of great
ideas that are quirky, exciting, feasible, etc.
I've always wanted to build a bunch of modular synthesizer modules, but
that's kind of a fringe / eccentric interest.
It'd be great to use Sudo-fund for this discussion, if people are
interested.

I propose the following:
1. Host circuit fabbing workshops on a donation basis. This is useful for
both inexperienced Sudoers (ahem) as well as the community at large. Call
it a workshop/training session. See step 2.
2. Enlist newly trained Sudoers and supportive community members in an
afternoon of mass assembly. Provide beer.
3. Sell kits to those who weren't interested in building them.
4. Make bacon.
Hey Everyone,
It would be great if I could get some help with this event by moving
furniture, and etc.?
Should be a thought-provoking film and a great opportunity to meet IWW
people and Daryl Cherney. I will make some food ahead of time.
Let me know.

Subject: Please join us for a FOCUS GROUP to design Maker Spaces
Greetings,
We invite you to participate in a focus group we are hosting to investigate
maker preferences regarding *Makeropolis*, a two-acre light-industrial,
multi-tenant maker community we are planning for 3250 Hollis in West
Oakland. The meeting will take place on:
· *Tuesday morning, June 11th, from at 10 a.m.*
· *at 612 Howard Street in Suite 100. *
612 Howard <http://lightnergroup.com/612-howard-street-san-francisc> is
just two blocks from the Montgomery BART station and a block from Moscone
Center Garage. We are holding it in this San Francisco building because we
renovated it and believe its architecture inspires creativity.
Heres brief description of what we are calling Makeropolis:
Theres a new industrial revolution in America, with thousands of
micro-manufacturers taking advantage of new technologies to make useful
things. We see an unfulfilled need for clean and bright workspaces,
purpose-built for these neo-industrialists. So we are developing a
multi-tenant light-industrial campus where budding entrepreneurs can
produce great things. Located in northwest Oakland, this two-acre community
combines smaller and larger indoor spaces, access to shared resources, a
relaxing outdoor central park and maker-friendly, on-site management. Our
mission is to enable innovation, craftsmanship and productivity in a clean,
secure and inspirational environment.
We really hope you will join us in this exciting process. If you want to
bring another maker who has interest in helping create this environment,
please invite them and let us know theyre coming.
R.S.V.P.
