Hey sudoers!
This email is to remind y'all that this Thursday, Feb 21st from 6:30-9pm we
will be holding our first CORE (Communities of Oakland Respond to
Emergencies) class at sudo room (which will actually be taking place in the
Public School's room as they're hosting a poetry reading that same
evening).
This is the first in a series of three classes offered by Oakland's First
Responders. This class will cover basics of self-reliance in the event of a
disaster or emergency that could take out power and other essential
infrastructure for up to weeks at a time. The CORE I class teaches students
how to prepare a family disaster plan, reduce common household hazards,
create emergency supply kits, and respond to a number of possible
emergencies, including earthquakes and fires.
To RSVP, please email me directly. The current RSVP list is here:

Hi Sudoers
A couple of things. I didn't get much of a response for screening *The
Pirate Bay film* and as Jenny pointed out Tuesdays are super busy. How does
this *Friday 2/22 *work for people? There are no conflicts i can see on
either the Sudo calendar or the Public school.
Also i wanted to know that i've acquired a *first aid kit for Sudoroom* so
we can take it off the wish list. Ill bring it in later in the week.
I am also looking for folks interested in *developing The Public
School *website.
There are a lot of improvements to be made and there is a test server
already running. The site runs on Drupal. So if any dev types have some
extra time or interest i can get you access or we could do a hackathon to
shore up the site.
Best,
Marty

Yo Sudo ers!
A friend of mine (Julian) hurt his back two days ago, and need to go to San
Jose to visit an acupuncturer *today*.
He's looking for a driver with car, to get him there and back. Paid.

I wasn't able to attend the Javascript meetup this evening but I would like
to reach out to anybody who is attending these meetings and possibly
interact online outside of the meetings IE share code, ideas, projects and
built a rapport. I have a project I'm doing for people interested in audio
& Javascript here http://interactiveaudio.wikiaudio.org . It's a
(slow-moving) tutorial series & I'm still learning and code every day. If I
can contribute anything to sudo room in the way of a knowledge base let me
know. I have extensive knowledge of audio as well as an increasing
understanding of *web audio*. Please reach out 510 816 2816.
I'm actually curious if sudo room has a projector that can be hooked up to
a computer in the main room to do presentations. I would like to possibly
do a small one on web audio as well as suggest a few on more complicated
concepts like closures and design patterns.
For anyone interested the best way to learn Javascript online (in my
opinion) that I've found thus far is this

I just caught wind of this little project based around participatory

Presentation:

Pretty cool, and something sudoroom might benefit from, given our
diligence in making decisions according to the bylaws we've set forth.
Sometimes these types of tools are too rigid and get in the way of the
in-person decision making process, but this one looks pretty flexible.
Worth playing around with at the very least.

It's time for another monthly meet-up for those involved in
anti-censorship, anti-surveillance, transparency and other hacktivism
tools: Technoactivism Third Mondays returns to Noisebridge, President's
Day, 2013-02-18, from 6PM - 7.30PM.
This week, we'll have a Q&A with roving Al Jazeera correspondent,
Melissa Chan. Chan has the unique honor of being both targetted for
spear-phishing malware when working in Beijing, and being used as the
fake source of malware against Bahraini activists when working in the
Middle-East. She's currently a Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford,
where she is working on developing an online toolkit for journalists to
protect their computers against hackers and safeguard communications
with sources.
Chat with Chan about the realities of digital surveillance around the
world, announce your current project or idea, meet with other hackers
and activists, working on protective tools, or just have some appetizers
before finding a good place to eat dinner with your old and new friends.
Reply to this mail to RSVP, offers of lightning talks, or to arrange
consignment deliveries of vegan cupcakes.
Noisebridge is at 2169 Mission St: http://nburl.net/gethere

Hi All,
Yesterday a few of you brought up a great point, the "Open Source Desktop
Bioengineering lab" is a bit of a mouthful for a project name. Do any of
you have creative ideas for a shorter, snappier name?
I thought it made sense to open source the name just like we're open
sourcing the project :)
All the best,
Ryan

Hi everyone,
This Saturday's Today I Learned will be starting a little bit late (4PM)
and will feature the talents of Morten and Sam on the topics of "Livelihood
Hacking AND Teaching Techniques Collaborative Workshop"
Morten will be presenting *Livelihood Hacking:*
- Your biggest regular/monthly expense is likely rent followed by food,
which also happen to cover some of the more basic needs. Significantly
reducing the financial costs of these significantly increases potential
ways to live ones life. Morten lives comfortably for $500 a month and will
talk a bit about how that looks like, throw some ideas for how it might be
replicated in your context, and together we will further explore this topic
of livelihood hacking in a workshop setting.
Afterwards, Sam will be presenting *Techniques Collaborative Workshop*
- This will be about how to be a better teacher, as well as how to
expand the TIL program and teach material outside of our collective comfort
zone. We will also aim to create a sudo wiki entry on this material. It'll
be hosted as a potluck.
And as always, many slots for future Today I Learned sessions are
available! Please sign up here:

Hey All,
Sudo Radio is live at:
http://radio.indybay.org/sudoradio.ogg
After spending way too much time trying all other solutions, the simplest
is the best! Take a look in the Radio Room for instructions on how to
operate everything and talk on air.
PS. As was suggested by Mischa we need a giant "TALK" button. This can be
achieved by making a one button midi controller. which can be done with an
arduino like this, kinda,
http://www.instructables.com/id/Arcade-Button-MIDI-Controller/ Let me know
if you want to help me with that project!
Good Night!

Hey Everyone,
I know a lot of people have been interested in the show I have been
concepting for awhile, and since Andrew and I are finally getting our
studio space together, I thought it might be cool to do a kick-starter and
see who is interested in being part of the show.
You can email me separately, if you want to be part of the show and I'll
add you to my list. I'll probably do an open casting call, and talk to
friends at public school.

Anybody interested in beer on making beer on Wednesday Feb 13th or
Friday 15th?
My dad is an experienced brewer and has offered to lead a session. All
experience levels welcome.
Malt extract or whole grains.
whole grain batch takes 6 to 7 hours and is cheaper.
extract takes about 4 hours is about ten dollars more, and is slightly
lower quality.
Porter or Pale Ale.
Your call depending on the interest level. Product can go to sudoroom
supply or however pays for ingredients. 25 - 35 dollars in ingredients
will make 5 gallons which is about 50 bottles. It comes out 50 to 55
cents a bottle for what is usually a 1.70 a bottle for high-quality
micro-beers. %30 to %40 of the cost.
We have all equipment here at our house and can do it here.

hi everyone,
the outside door was stuck in the locked position this morning and i
couldn't unlock it with a key or use the sudodoor wireless to unlock it.
perhaps i misunderstood from last night, but when i connected to sudo door
from my phone, my understanding was that the browser was supposed to
automatically go to the correct url. unfortunately i couldn't use the
sudodoor wireless to connect to any site.
as of now, the door is open (someone else in the building probably unlocked
it, although i'm not sure how). would love to have guidance on
troubleshooting the door if this kind of problem happens again, although
i'm sure that as we develop documentation for the door on the wiki that it
will help with at least some of the problems (i didn't know what url to go
to to enter the pw, for example).
thanks and we are ever closer to having the door issue solved!

Sudo greetings,
Last friday I had the pleasure of visiting Hacklab Belgrade in Serbia and
chatted with a few Balkan hackers. I think their way operating a
hackerspace had a few lessons for sudo room, and wrote a report on the
Wiki:http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Hacklab_Belgrade_2013_Report.
Enjoy,
Notconfusing
Apologies for cross posting.
Are there any Emotiv EPOC or general EEG hackers on the list?
I'm also interested in research and hacking around CES devices. Email me
off-list.

Hey,
Hope that your Clothes Hacking session went well yesterday.
As an FYI to whoever-it-most concerns, your/sudoroom's websites are down.
Already tried to access http://sudoroom.org and
http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss multiple times.
BOTH of these sudoroom sites continue to time-out.
OTOH http://mediumreality.com and http://coyotecounter.com work perfectly
fine.
Its now 9am PST Sunday morning, 10 February, 2013; the nearby Bowl

For those looking for FOIA database Ive found a good starting source.
The National Security Archive is an independent non-governmental
research institute and library located at The George Washington
University in Washington, D.C. The Archive collects and publishes
declassified documents acquired through the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA). A tax-exempt public charity, the Archive receives no U.S.
government funding; its budget is supported by publication royalties
and donations from foundations and individuals. On March 17, 2000,
Long Island University named the National Security Archive as winner

Hi Sudo,
I am Jeremy Dalmas. I host a monthly informational / performance talk show
called Oakland Nights...Live!, and we are working with the Bay Area Public
School to possibly have the show in the common space of 2141 Broadway on
the evening of March 16th. But since it is a shared space, we wanted to
check with you to see if that would interfere with anything you had
planned, or if you have any concerns or questions. We are still talking
with Public School to figure it out and to confirm if it will happen, but I
wanted to check in with you early on. We are really respectful, very good
at tidying up after a show, and are excited about working with everyone in
the space right now and whoever might occupy the rest of the space. We'd be
happy to stop by any meetings you might have and answer any questions. I've
included a brief summary of our show bellow as well as a link to our
facebook page.
*Oakland Nights…Live!* is a free monthly late-night variety show that is
half Fresh Air, half Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, half Johnny Carson and all
Oakland. On this show audience members & performers, planned acts &
spontaneous interaction, and being entertained & being informed are all
part of the same continuum. We’ve got a house band, poetry readings, live
RPG gaming, indie video game designers, monthly news trivia, town hall Q&A
with candidates for city council, full episode Star Trek re-enactments,
private investigators and astrophysicists phoning in from the south pole. We
do our best to meld them all together into a pleasant Saturday evening.

Hi all!
We at the Open Mechanics Institute need a oxy-acetylene torch (including
gas etc.) to build our first project: the open source ecology CEB Press. (
http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/CEB_Press )
Anyone has one we can borrow / buy? We can arrange pick up of course, and
might even be able to pay a buck or two for renting. We will of course
replenish gas etc.
On the note of our work, if anyone who is skilled in metalwork and
passionate about building and improving on the open source ecology suite,
join us - we meet every Friday at a metalshop close to the Emeryville
homedepot and build.
Make a great day,
The Open Mechanics Institute team :]
Hi All,
Just a quick reminder that we'll be having an informal meeting again
tonight at 6pm at Sudo room to discuss the Open Source Desktop biotech lab
and all are welcome. Tonight will be a short meeting as we'll primarily
just be discussing the parts list for the Open Source PCR (all thoughts
welcome, particularly if you can't attend).
Agenda:
- Intros
- Updates (both the first Incubator and Centrifuge prototypes have been
built and are at Sudo room, now we need to build the PCR and Gel box)
- PCR - parts list for cheapest/decent build
- Order - Ryan will order the parts for us to hopefully hack next week :)
TGIF!

sorry to hit the list with this - I brought a yellow corded power drill during one of the move-in sundays and it is nowhere to be found. probably has "GASKILL" written on it in sharpie, figured someone just borrowed it which is okay as long as it comes back...maybe someone else who brought tools took it back with them?

Calling all teachers, parents, educators, teenagers, and kids! The
Awesome Foundation grants $1000 to people with AWESOME projects every
month. We want to remind everyone that for our February grant, we will
sponsor only projects submitted by kids! Submissions can come from
individuals or groups of people who are either under the age of 18 or in
high school. We will also consider applications submitted by educators
on behalf of a classroom-wide project.
We want to encourage youth to dream up an awesome idea and experience
the magic of bringing it to fruition.
What kind of project? Well, the single most important guideline is that
the project is totally awesome. But, we also tend to favor projects that
spread awesomeness to a wide audience. We suggest that interested
applicants take a look at our website and browse through past winning
projects: http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/sf
Of course, anyone may submit an application at any time, but February’s
grant will only go to a kid’s project. Students should submit proposals
through our website between February 1st and February 28th.
http://www.awesomefoundation.org/en/submissions/new
Please spread the word to anyone you know who works with kids, or may
just be interested!

Hi Wolfy,
Yes, that would be a big improvement, and we can put it on next week's
agenda I think, since I won't be at the meeting.

Some details from nb that could give some insight at hacker space financial
planning.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: *Noisebridge Treasurer*
Date: Tuesday, February 5, 2013
Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Financial Report, need proxy
To: Noisebridge <noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net>
Cc: Noisebridge Treasurer <treasurer(a)noisebridge.net>,
secretary(a)noisebridge.net
Hey folks, a little bit more in depth financial report this week. Can
someone show this at the meeting? Our secretary, my usual proxy, is
home sick.
Can someone chat with me about presenting this stuff? I can also write
a little more elaborate explanation.
The attached charts are looking at *individual donor income*. That
means I've excluded corporate matching, anonymous cash donations
(which all go under Anonymous), and the large donation from the Thiel
foundation. What you're looking at here is individuals (all renamed to
protect the innocent) who regularly donate to noisebridge, and trends
in that income.
A few interesting notes:
- We always seem to get nervous about our balance in the winter, but
we actually have less income over the summer.
- 2011 was actually a good year for us. That was the first year we
panicked in the winter about not having enough money, twittered about
it, and made lots of money. You can see the peak in late 2011 / early
2012. 2011 also has the largest average annual donation per donor, the
largest annual total, and the largest summer income. Winter 2010 beats
winter 2011 though.
- We have a small core of amazing, consistent, large donors. I thought
these might change over the years but they are actually pretty
consistent. You can see them in the color coding for the stacked
annual chart. So thank you to Signe Bergman, Gertrude Harding,
Marianne Hainisch, Emily Stowe, and most of all Bríet
Bjarnhéðinsdóttir, for their incredible support of Noisebridge.

Howdy Folks,
Intro to Rocketry is starting in the next hour! We will start hacking right away, and begin reviewing the nuts and bolts of rocket theory once we feel critical mass of participants has been reached. So far sounds like there are already a number of experienced rocketeer sudoers.
Cheers,
Hol
