[PROPOSAL] Land Lord Proposal Tonight

by Andrew

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 -- ------- Andrew Lowe Cell: 831-332-2507 http://roshambomedia.com

SERVER SETUP and MAINTENANCE

by Troy Massey

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

Din din and not the din of wolves howling for their supper

by Ray Lai

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, Raymond Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

FREE SECURE E.MAIL WITH STORAGE ???

by Troy Massey

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

Drawing Dynamic Visualizations - A revolution in programming and math

by Tom Fitzpatrick

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. http://worrydream.com/#!/Links

by Romy Ilano

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?

Re: [sudo-discuss] Choose Your Own Adventure

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

Stuff in the back that needs to be fixed to enable great creativity

by Romy Ilano

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 ! --- Romy Ilano Founder of Snowyla http://www.snowyla.com romy(a)snowyla.com

Tuesday - MicroController Hack Night // Lilypad

by Romy Ilano

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 // microcircuits

by Romy Ilano

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 !

FRe: Dystopia News: No-Sex Apartments.

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

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.

HELP: Water spilled on MacBook Air!

by Diana Wu

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, Diana

time

by Romy Ilano

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

https://door.sudoroom.org

by Yardena Cohen

Hey Sudoers, As of right now, tamale.sudoroom.org is deprecated - don't visit unless you like SSL warnings. You can now control our inside & outside doors from: https://door.sudoroom.org/ Passwords will probably change soon as well. I've just gotten some feedback that since this uses POST, it's no longer easy to directly bookmark the "open door" page. Sorry for the regression and we'll find a solution to that soon.

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.

Cleaning

by Romy Ilano

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 ?

[Update] Alternative Locations for Sudo Room

by Matthew Senate

Ryan and Jenny are excellent! We went biking and found more places for sudo room's future decision-making! http://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/ Please add more reports (choose at least one): (a) tweet the address and details (e.g. a phone number) @sudoroom (i) You can also set up twitter to post via text message to 40404 if you don't have a data plan with your phone--ask me for details! ;) (b) send an email with the same info to info(a)sudoroom.org (c) use the web form https://hackerspaces.crowdmap.com/reports/submit (d) download a mobile app (though the new android app crashed for me >.<) You can also help by: (a) Calling some of the existing listings, coordinate by replying to this message! (b) Offering to review old listings that might still be available! (c) Trolling Craigslist and other websites with spaces for rent / lease. (d) Contribute to this spreadsheet Romy set up: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amu8QvJOCyfkdFRkMnFGblJ3MzZDNF… (e) Organize another bike-about to find more locations! The crowdmap platform released a new version of their software today, but we can use the "classic" mode likely through 2013, with options to migrate and such before then. I have backups just in case, and we can back more data up as we add to it. // Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] DystopiaNews: "Let them eat bugs!"

by Shawn Lesniak

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? > -G. (creative commons; non-commercial use, with attribution) you objected to the list being archived with your name, how would you like to be cited if your article is republished elsewhere?

Hire a long-distance bike courier and support a Bike Odyssey

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

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: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/bike-odyssey-riding-and-writing-across-th… Make a great day, Morten

Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Tommy York

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. ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

Re: [sudo-discuss] Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Ryan Lyle

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.

Fwd: [AMTD] Fwd: Please join us for a FOCUS GROUP to design Maker Spaces

by Rachel McConnell

Interesting concept. I don't know anything further than this. Rachel1.0 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Bill Lightner <bill.lightner(a)lightnergroup.com> Date: Wed, May 15, 2013 at 12:43 PM 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. wl(a)lightnergroup.com 415-267-2900 x114 Thanks!
