Ideas for the SudoRoom blog / twitter account - historical threads on the history of computing!

by Romy Ilano

This is a cool history twitter post by this cool dude, i think he founded npm or something? But he doesn’t always tweet about just computers and programming, he does a lot of broad history tweets https://twitter.com/seldo/status/1512970436669173763?s=21&t=wZYbqR3J2g0mBL1… There is a cool long twitter thread on Ada Lovelace here… his insights a re pretty cool! I’m wondering if we can spin stuff like t hat off on the SudoRoom blog. Recently I visited SudoRoom and people were showing me an early laser - I think it was remarkable in t hat it could project blue laser light? Then they told me that it wasn’t until 2008 that blue lasers were possible? Some dude won the Nobel prize for this? This would be a cool thread, just SudoRoom rambling about the history of some invention in some interesting way. I’m sure we’re writing it in the SudoRoom voice because SudoRoom comes from a particular point of view which is that it’s all about social good but also invention and discovery for its own sake. We aren’t such a corporate hackerspace Sent from my iPad

Get ready for the East Bay Bike party tomorrow! everyone should come! 12th street 730pm!

by Romy Ilano

Get ready for the East Bay Bike party tomorrow! everyone should come! 12th street 730pm! Thanks to everyone who's given me suggestions, inspired me and taught me about laser projections. And of course everyone who's encouraged me! I've gotten so much help. My focus the past few weeks at both sudoroom and noisebridge have been the the light projection art projects - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping> That being said, after exploring many avenues, I'm going to film and test run my first light projection mapping on a bike at the tomorrow's bike party. So for the first time in a few years I'll actually fully flesh out an idea at SudoRoom instead of leaving 100% of everything half-finnished =D Thanks for the ideas maarc! at the moment i'm able to mount small laser projectors on my bike, and based on ideas from marc, I'm going to use my phone's accelerometer for now to project stuff on the ground. Let's see how this goes! I bet there's even some math involved here. Definitely a good way to revive my old trigonometry skills =D I'll try to do a writeup in a charming way so we can post this on the blog. For a lot of the time I spent after work at SudoRoom it was all about the creativity exploration and fun. Let's see what comes next! I'm finding that the smaller laser proejctors are obviously more dynamic, just less hassle to set up than the larger projectors. I'm allergic to attending large events, but I'm still interested in making something "large".... in the ballroom at some point. There are so many immersive environments ... Maybe the larger laser projectors or light projectors can be used for creative backgrounds when someone goes on stage and teaches a math class =D ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Consideration of Peter Behr for membership

by Andrew R Gross

*Consideration of Peter Behr for membership* Does anyone have any objections or endorsements of PB? I've seen three times now in person and a few more remotely at meetings. I don't know them well, but from my initial experiences I would like to be their friend. *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

sudo-discuss email address

by Jake

TL;DR You should update your addressbook so it says sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> instead of ruin mechanic via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Hi Andrew! Thank you very much for sending out these emails reminding us who's waiting for endorsement of their membership application. This is a crucial move in our incomplete process, and will help us not lose potential members! I wanted to do something like that but it was too many steps for me and I got overwhelmed. I'm really grateful for you doing it. I noticed that all your emails sent to the discuss list are addressed as: ruin mechanic via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> "ruin mechanic" is a friend of mine (helped make the Jitsi terminal custom software, he's a GREAT teacher and very talented coder who unfortunatly rarely comes to the space) and I guess you copied the address from a message he had written. He quit the mailinglist recently because there was too much traffic for him, which is unrelated to the coincidential fame of his name these days :) thank you again -jake

[omni-consensus] flat screen monitor for entrance hall

by Jake

who wants to help set up a computer to drive a public display? a reliable, low-power desktop machine that can auto-power-on is the bare minimum, and then some remote-access software that can facilitate non-technical people with updating the slideshow that it displays this is an exciting Omni-wide infrastructure that we should enjoy! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2022 16:11:08 -0700 (PDT) From: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> To: Sarah Lockhart <sarah.ee.el(a)gmail.com> Cc: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] flat screen monitor for entrance hall I would be willing to help with that, i love infrastructure like that.

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

ok hear me out this idea is cheesy

by Romy Ilano

OK hear me out -- this idea is super cheesy but as I become middle aged (have been) I've been going to a lot of interior design spaces as I populate my yuppie apartment. what do you guys think of making an experimental interior design/ museum display section at SudoRoom. It could be someone practicing the craft of interior design alongside a bookcase with "member recommended" books or a weird ancient electronics equipment where someone writes a cool history. surely there are people who do interior design that are creative but don't want to make stuff that's mass market. Usually the folks who do something creative have to design stuff for rich people. This is the kind of stuff cool rich people would order: https://www.roche-bobois.com/en-US/mag/bubble-design-sacha-lakic.html surely there must be a way to make fun spaces in a cheap way. This could even be a space for set designers, the kind of people who work in theater. Hmm... I mean ok this idea is very labor intensive but maybe I can try to give a spin at it. It would maybe not even be about interior design but more about designing museum installation art. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

help! network is down at Omni!

by Jake

the front door computer is unreachable, because some network switch between it and the server is not working right i guess... either one of the switches upstairs (in the "public computer lab") or something in the network cage. I had to leave before i was able to figure out what was wrong and I can't access the front door computer from theh network, so I don't know whether card access will work although now that i think about it, it probably does work. the wifi was being really really really slow tonight (thursday night) and Arthur and I were trying to figure out what was wrong, and Yar and Marc helped remotely, but we never figured out where the problem was, and I didn't realize until i had to leave that the front door computer is entirely inaccessible. $ ping 100.64.64.11 "No route to host" even though i power cycled it and it's getting a link light. I don't actually know where the other end of its ethernet cable is but since the front door computer is important to security and accessibility, this worries me. Can someone who understands the building's network please try to fix this ASAP? -jake

video light projection project - a side branch would be to discuss different video standards and the history of the industry?

by Romy Ilano

I was at Noisebridge recently pondering if I'll participate in the Noisebridge anniversary party with the light projections. We have a big old light projector - I'm trying to figure out if something is worth doing that makes sense, I think the entire experimentation aspect would be the most fun part of it! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51941087886/in/dateposted/ Anyway I hung out with some cool people from Boston (we really need to connect with New England more) and we started discussing the history of light projectors and all the different standards. I also use a discontinued light projector that is one of the best of its kind in the small range, but it was stopped because I guess the price point was too high, the software sucked (it's a Korean company SK Telecom , why do they often make the best hardware but the worst software? quite tragic. maybe ux and software engineering is undervalued at large engineering companies all over the world????) Thought that this would be a good side discussion on different video standards. - why did some standards fail - why did some standards succeed - which products were great but became (maybe unfairly) failed products due to market timing, evil forces (monopolies bad software) I guess this would go under a general computer history talk at sudoroom some evenings ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

next hardware hacking Tuesday - vision board madness

by Romy Ilano

OK for the next tuesday I'm going to create a full on vision board of my projects so far at sudoroom and noisebridge - what am i doing and what do i want to accomplish? - What have i learned so far? - what projects will i focus on for the future? I am having so much fun with the light projection mapping projects, half the fun is just messing around and being way more spontaneous than is usually possible in an art project https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51965423838/in/dateposted/ I think my big goal is to create something finished that can be filmed that will get other people excited to create and to use sudoroom equipment ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Scraping paint off windows

by Marc Juul

Hi sudoers! We had an unfortunate incident with the new protective coating on our roof where the roof windows got coated as well. It's some latex type substance and CCL tells us it isn't too difficult to get off. Is anyone up for helping with a couple of hours of scraping tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 pm to 5 pm? I'll bring scrapers and we'll lay down some 2x4s across the windows so people be in danger of falling through the glass. -- marc/juul

email lists wiki page

by Jake

hey i noticed that the "# of subscribers" and "newest message date" fields on this wiki page are not updating: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Email_Lists does anyone know how to fix this? Also, it would be nice if we could add a feature where it would show which lists are private versus public, and maybe even an archive link :) I'm trying to introduce new people to the Omni and I want to give them context to our mailinglists. thank you -jake

[omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom people!! As Sudoroom's delegate to the Omni Commons it's my job to report back the collective will of Sudoroom regarding important topics like: new members of the Omni Commons! CLP is applying and we, Sudoroom, have to decide how we feel about them joining the commons. In two weeks, the delegates' meeting will happen and I will be asked to report the position of Sudoroom. If we don't figure that out in an email thread or at a sudoroom meeting, i will have to make something up! Yet another reason to attend our awesome Sudoroom meetings on Wednesday evenings at 8PM, on Jitsi or in person at the space! -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 22:24:23 -0700 From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com Subject: [omni-consensus] Fwd: WCK/CLP intro Hi all, I'm forwarding this to omni's "consensus" list because it's a proposal that affects the whole community! I think CLP would be great as a new member collective at omni. They are paying $200 for their current 10x10 storage unit and are willing to pay omni the same for relatively unsecured space in the basement, which is totally reasonable - generous even! They would also bring in an active community of volunteers, which would be huge for omni. Meeting Billy and Rafiq this weekend was a pleasure. It looks like there are now several new member collective proposals in the pipeline, which is awesome! I hope that we can use this opportunity to practice onboarding new groups in a way that is as frictionless and accessible as we can, and also invite this potential new generation of omni member collectives to co-create the process alongside us. Our next delegates meeting is in ~2 weeks, April 7th. Typically for important proposals (like a new member collective), we would have one meeting to discuss details, give delegates another 2 weeks to bring the proposal for discussion among their groups, and then come back for (hopefully) full consensus at the next meeting, which would be April 21st. I think it'd be great for folks to have conversations and ask questions in the meantime so that we can all be prepared for the big meetings once they happen. Thanks all :D ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: deskhandle via commons <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Date: Mon, Mar 21, 2022 at 2:00 PM Subject: [omni-commons] WCK/CLP intro To: commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com <Communityliberationprograms(a)protonmail.com> Hey everyone, this is Billy with Community Liberation Programs, formerly known as Worker's Community Kitchen. We are a socialist organization that creates dual power programs in partnership with community members. Currently we have a water delivery/ unhoused encampment commissary program as well as a community garden program both in Hayward. We have a program in Berkeley which works directly with the community at People's Park to organize crucial material support and gear up in defense of the upcoming eviction. We also have a reading group starting in the SF Mission as a preliminary step to bring folks together for a new program forming there, and another working group investigating a new program centered in Oakland Chinatown. We are really excited to be invited to join the new phase at the Omni and are particularly looking forward to supporting fund raising efforts through event planning. We were already working on creating a summer film series as a fund raising event for our organization and it seems aligned to use this as an opportunity to support the Omni as well. Additionally, we were told that we could potentially move some stuff around in the area pictured below to take up a roughly 10 x 10 space for our storage. Currently we have a storage unit in Berkeley so we'd love to move that over here and start being in the space more regularly! We can send a delegate to the regular meetings and are ready to start event planning! I have CC'd the primary CLP email address to make sure it is put in the communication loop! All the best! Billy

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you need to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

Light projection rooms

by Romy Ilano

So at this stage I sent out plans to cool artists The Omni ballroom is ideal for light projection room environments https://www.flickr.com/gp/miromi/25u9SM Just sharing some plans!these would be ideal for pepppe to take selfies in similar to a museum and I’m wondering how to figure audio into this What’s really nice is that while there are commercial free ish mobile phone apps for distorting the projectors for these light projections it’s not too difficult to build our own ! These rooms could rotate and have stories and be immersive plays or informational stuff and even gasp educational 😎 Sent from my iPhone

https://sudoroom.org/why-we-love-sudoroom-hardware-hack-night/ I think basically there is no such thing as radio shack or the weird stuff warehouse in sunnyvale anymore. everything is online except for weird holdouts like the SudoRoom hardware hack night. so now a blog post about that! it's just nice to be tactile and talk in person. It's like going to a library . imagine how horrible it would be if there were only ebooks and no more physical books! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

New equipment: Homer the light projector and Fabian the silver screen!

by Romy Ilano

Going forward, I'm going to anthropormorphize the heck out of all our cool equipment! The silver screen is named Fabian, and the light projector is named Homer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping#Equipment I think I'm going to do a series of interviews where I talk to each equipment piece and ask them about their lives, their power equipment and how we can connect to them and do weird projects. And then a "person on the street" type deal where I interview various SudoRoom members and ask them what cool things we could do with each piece! Anyway Fabian the silver screen is totally silver! and according to Jake we can do real 3D movie son him! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

drawing projection at omnicommons

by Romy Ilano

https://youtu.be/Tolft9ONZw0 Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help! I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool! https://flic.kr/p/2n7GRgT https://flic.kr/p/2n7FkGd ^^^ So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested. The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!

updates on the sudoroom calendar- adding bike parties (so many opportunities fro collaboration!)

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people! - the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open! lots of taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate - the east bay bike party (which is this friday)! https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/ - the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and start messing around with cool designs. - there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay richmond) at this event - multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of opportunities to play with mobile light projections - the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the evening it will be fun ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
