do we have any cute noise files made by SudoRoom folks?

by Romy Ilano

I'd like to use small mp3 or wav files that creative SudoRoom people have made. I'd like to use this in simple modules - for example I'm adding some code I saw on the web to SudoRoom that let's us scan QR codes. When you finish scanning it should say "beep!" to show you're done. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

iOS components for SudoRoom similar to npm - modules

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting with a QR code reader module https://github.com/romyilano/SudoQR-Code-Reader It is pretty simple to do this and there are lots of samples online. I'll just go through and make one for SudoRoom with a SudoRoom logo - I hope to make this reusable by anyone wishing to involve iOS in their projects. - eventually want to mode this to Swift since that'll be open source by the end of the year - Hope to rely on native APIs a much as possible, avoiding too many open source frameworks - I am sure there are tons of "freemium" and "open source" projects that already use QR codes out there but we need our own, and it's not that hard. If everyone is ok with this, after I show them, I hope to move stuff like this tot he SudoRoom Github! I would like any github code to fit SudoRoom culture as much as possible ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

recording a google hangout on air: education at SudoRoom

by Romy Ilano

Hi, I messed up 2 screencasts this weekend but you can learn from my mistakes! I tried to do a Domestic Violence Node.js command line terminal screenshare on Google hangouts and then upload the recording to Youtube for Posterity. It didn't work out - I got confused the solution: If you are going to use googlehangouts you should remember to select *Google Hangouts ON AIR instead of *Google Video Hangout *https://plus.google.com/hangouts/onair <https://plus.google.com/hangouts/onair>* *This will *automatically upload your hangout / screencast to your YouTube channel, which you can then edit . ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Drinks and snacks fridge

by Marc Juul

Today sudo room got a donation of a nice fridge. We set it up as a sudo/ccl drinks and snacks fridge with donation based "purchases". For now the donation jar is just an open box inside the fridge. I suggest we just split the donations 50/50 between sudo and ccl and that we set up a lockable donation box (someone please do this). I will be adding an account system that we developed at the Labitat hackerspace where all members can buy items by sliding their card and scanning an item's barcode. In the longer term I will add a bill acceptor and credit card payments. I went to safeway and got a bunch of the safeway brand carbonated water and a bit of their soda. I personally would like us to sell nice healthy/ethical things, but that was what I could get on short notice and I felt like it was better than nothing. I have set up a whole-sale account with Guayaki and will attempt to order some mate drinks. What other kinds of drinks/snacks do you humans want to see in the long term? -- marc/juul

Help Rps collective pack and move this month

by Romy Ilano

https://www.facebook.com/events/870900452965539/ Hi check out the link : Rps collective needs help packing and moving as they've been evicted because Oakland is changing This would be a great opportunity to create cool relationships with them . Just like us they are overworked exhausted volunteers They do youth education in a non superficial non cheesy way that imo is tough to pull off. It's not our skill set so it'd be cool to conduct collaborations with them. They are cool and any partnership would be awesome Sent from my iPhone

event: Sunday 8pm - at SudoRoom & online

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/screenshare-event-node-js-command-line-tool-ana… Hi, I'm going to do my first screenshare event, but you'll also be able to attend live and in person!. This is my "project" from the cyberwizard institute. - I will be conducting a super newbie tutorial on making command line tools in node. - we'll analyze data from Open Oakland - more specifically domestic violence in Oakland [image: Learn how this picture relates to Set Theory Attribution: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prague_Praha_2014_Holmstad_flott_Mu…] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/320px-Prague_Praha_2014_Hol…> https://github.com/womenwhocodeoakland/oakland-data-with-node-js I'll be doing a special screenshare with comments and drawings. - This is a super-newbie screenshare on how to set up a node.js command-line tool to parse data on domestic violence in Oakland using Open Data. - We'll be going over basic node concepts, parsing JSON - Best of all, by the end everyone will hopefully understand how to avoid grunt work and copy and paste in Excel. *Too many smart women with potential are trapped in dead end pink collar clerical, accounting and marketing jobs even though they are probably smart enough to learn to code and make the world a better place. Even in non-profit volunteer organizations women tend to do a lot of clerical grunt work instead of having fun and being creators so this will hopefully tip the balance!* Women Who Code Oakland Node.js Tutorial This is a basic tutorial on Node.js using the command line. Benefits: - You can make a basic "networked" app - You can avoid doing clerical gruntwork and using horrible Excel Macros written by a javascript newbie for Women Who Code Oakland / Women Who Code East Bay http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-East-Bay/ *Women dominate clerical, lower-paid clerical jobs like entry level accounting and secretarial work or lower-level marketing positions. They live their lives in Excel sheets. Enabling them to learn basic coding and taking advantage of their intelligence and potential will help make the world a better place.* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

In Europe, Fake Jobs Can Have Real Benefits

by Vicky Knox

Dear Sudoers, What do you think of this phenomenon in Europe of fake companies (and banks) used to job-train people while they're un/der-employed (keeping the meal hot, so to speak)? It's kind of interesting to me coming from a membership-based, volunteer-run org like Sudo Room--parallels abound (strangely)! Though I must say that I learned way more practical and professional skills at Sudo and LOL than at any of my mind-numbing tech jobs. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/business/international/in-europe-fake-job… hugz, vix

sudoroom is looking awesome lately

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/blog/ the past 2 weeks have been quite energizing, and every time I see what's going on at SudoRoom I'm really excited what's really nice with the things going on lately, especially the CyberWizard project, is that it's teaching and showing people how to do stuff in a unique way. *even though there are quite a few women in our space, we aren't trivilialized, and the women aren't railroaded into working on projects for children or motherhood projects or stuff involving charity work for the needy.* it's often hard to tell if a project is initiated by a man or a woman. when i do talk to women at SudoRoom i get to see them as people first, not mother or wives, or someone's girlfriend, and to be frank, that's really hard to come by in the technology culture. the men are just as likely to do art as the women. and the men are just as likely to clean as the women or sew, which is really nice. we still have a ways to go, but i'm very grateful sudoroom is so awesome and that they tolerate people like me who are different. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Lost 4'x4' Mylar Bags in Sudo

by Robb Anonymous

Hi all, I brought two 4ft x 4ft mylar bags into sudo and was going to cut & tape them together to make sunshades for under the skylights as the daytime sun makes it impossible to do any work there. Unfortunately, I got sidetracked helping CCL- which took alot longer that expected - & when I returned cyberwizard was in sudo so I wasn't able to look for it. Today, I looked for them but couldn't find them. If anyone put them anywhere or took them home with them I would appreciated it if they were returned to me. I apologize for not labeling them or putting them away. Thanks robb

Sec. 8 federal low income housing applications accepted until Tues 11:59pm

by James Beatty

Anyone low income person you know who needs housing for 30% of their income can apply for Sec. 8 until Tues at 11:59 pm. This happens once in 6 years for this area. They will take 5000 applicants to be put on the wait list. Last time they took 1500 out of 15,000 applicants. So maybe one in ten chance in a lottery, maybe better. Do it on line.

Wikipedia & Journalism event next Friday

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, I'm putting on an event next Friday, with Hacks and Hackers, entitled: *The Future of Journalism in a Wikipedia World. * http://www.meetup.com/hacksandhackers/events/224478596/ This will be a "lightweight" panel discussion, with an emphasis on conversation among the whole group. Besides me, one of the panelists should be familiar to you: Liberty Madison has just agreed to join us, along with Dan Cook (reporter/editor/Wikipedian) and Andrew Lih (journalism prof/author or The Wikipedia Revolution). The event is in SF, not too far from Noisebridge. Our host, Nomiku, will be serving fancy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres afterward. There is a $10 charge to cover ingredients; but the charge is optional for anybody who wants to just attend the panel and discussion. (Just skip the payment option when RSVPing.) I hope to see some of you there! And if anybody would like to share this on the Noisebridge list, I'd appreciate it -- since this is more in their back yard! -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

dance and creative events happening at the omni alongside SudoRoom: Omni makes you think!

by Romy Ilano

There's a critical theory and fitness series going on throughout the summer with the group Heavy Breathing. I'm just writing this because often the Omni is so large, people visit SudoRoom and then they say "Oh there isn't a lot going on here" or "I'd like to know more of what's happening" facebook.com/heavyheavybreathing It's pretty cool - some of their sessions were in the park in Oakland and at various creative spaces, but they have an event today and they had an event two weeks ago at the Omni Disco room. Even though it wasn't at the SudoRoom, it's cool that I can just walk up and downstairs to attend these events. It's cool that there are dancers in the same building as the SudoRoom, and that these kinds of events happen. I think the series pokes fun at the current obsessions Americans have with fitness, wherein people try to find some kind of religious and spiritual fulfillment or social identity through their yoga and crossfit classes. the series was featured recently in New Yorker magazine: http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/sweating-to-sappho I don't think they poke fun at it in a mean way, but it's something to think about, especially as these gym classes push a "spiritual" message while maintaining themselves as capitalist, chain store type entities whose only aim is to make money. When someone is pretending to be your friend and spiritual guidance counselor but is part of a corporate template fitness system (think of Zumba), that raises larger questions, and it also illuminuates the future Tonight there's another session of Heavy breathing at the Omni, and I'm going to attend it in-between my session learning at the CyberWizard Institute. It looks like it's going to be fun! I should make this a blog post and clean it up, but my point is that having this large building at the Omni enables people of different creative bents and ideologies to hang out with each other and collaborate. much love! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

reviving today I learned and making it something else

by Romy Ilano

*the Cyberwizard Institute sessions are going so well and they're so much fun! * *I was chatting with marina, and we remember the Today I Learned sessions fondly: people talked about things they learned covering every topic under the sun: sewing, mathematics, algorithms, hacking your DNA, 3D printing cartoons*. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned Unfortunately this ran out of steam. I think we just ran out of topics to talk about, plus the concept Today I Learned was a little goofy. Cyberwizard Institute is way more exciting *after Cyberwizard session 2 is over, it'd be cool to create a new version of Today I learned - either as an extension of CyberWizard Instiute or something else! * ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Techno-Activism Third Mondays: The Internet of Garbage with Sarah Jeong, August 17

by Danny O'Brien

Sarah Jeong's new book, The Internet of Garbage, takes a look at the problems of harassment through the lens of the online world's struggle to regulate its own worst outputs. From spam-fighting to sprawling copyright law, Jeong's thesis is that whatever fix we consider, it can't just be about hitting delete. Free speech rights, intermediary liability, anonymity, and moderator working conditions are just some of the other considerations we need to look at before anyone takes the garbage out. Jeong will talk about the book, her coverage of other Internet issues such as Garcia v. Google and the Silk Road trial, and future issues for the modern techno-activist. Date: August 17 Time: 6:00pm Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco More info: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011JAV030/?tag=electronicfro-20 What is this again? Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) is an informal meetup to connect activists and technologists who are interested in the challenges of surveillance and censorship, and anyone interested in free and open technology. TA3M happens all over the world, from Amsterdam to Tokyo. You can find out your local meetup here: https://ta3m.net/ Want to receive these TA3M-SF updates regularly?

Eviction of Rock Paper Scissors: End of an Era for Oakland’s Art Scene

by Romy Ilano

http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/07/eviction-of-rock-paper-scissors-end-of-… Eviction of Rock Paper Scissors: End of an Era for Oakland’s Art Scene Rock Paper Scissors' doors will close before the end of August (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) By Andrew Stelzer <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/author/andrewstelzer>AUGUST 7, 2015 SHARE <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/08/07/eviction-of-rock-paper-scissors-end-of-…> This ragtag Oakland storefront at 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue was at the geographic center of the original Art Murmur <http://oaklandartmurmur.org/> in 2006. It’s an all-in-one art gallery, classroom, clothing shop and activist meeting space. The volunteer-run collective operating Rock Paper Scissors <http://rpscollective.org/>exemplifies the city’s social justice seeking, DIY art and activism scene. But with Oakland rents soaring, they’ve been priced out of their space. August’s will be the last First Friday <http://www.oaklandfirstfridays.org/> street fair and Art Murmur gallery stroll for the collective — the last remaining organization of those that helped start the monthly festival almost a decade ago. On a recent East Bay summer evening, volunteers gathered inside the storefront to learn how to become pen pals with queer prisoners. “It can get really complicated because if someone’s legal name is John but they go by Jennifer for instance, You have to put J or John on the outside of the envelope,” said Beja Alisheva, co-facilitator of Flying Over Walls <https://flyingoverwalls.wordpress.com/>, queer/trans prisoner solidarity organization. [image: Flying Over Walls volunteers gather at the Rock Paper Scissors Collective to write letters to LGBTQ prisoners.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16278_group-…> Flying Over Walls volunteers gather at Rock Paper Scissors to write letters to LGBTQ prisoners. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) There are lots of rules about how the envelopes sent into prisons can be decorated, so as to not be confiscated. “No glitter?” Louis Smith asked incredulously. The letter-writing get-together was just one of dozens of gatherings held at Rock Paper Scissors every month, ranging from writing workshops to a sewing lab and jewelry-making for teens. “When we first came to Rock Paper Scissors looking for a space, they said of course,” Alisheva said. “Obviously, we don’t have a lot of money. It’s not something that brings in a lot of revenue, but that didn’t matter to them.” She added: “It was such a relief when we finally landed here, so now we’re not sure where we’re going to end up.” That’s a sentiment shared with the quirky creative space’s regulars. “Gentrification is real,” said Alexandra Rigaud, an assistant with the collective’s youth program. “We are getting pushed out, and we did start First Friday … Now we are paying for it.” It’s becoming a common story all over the Bay Area. The artists who in a recent era made a neighborhood “hip” are being driven out, in part due to their own success. “The neighborhood has changed a lot,” said Kristy Holohan, the collective’s youth, community and interim gallery director. “We are basically like sandwiched in between two bars, there are some really high end galleries.” [image: The Rock Paper Scissors storefront on 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16281_RPS-st…> The Rock Paper Scissors Collective storefront on 23rd Street and Telegraph Avenue. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said the plight of Rock Paper Scissors raises a much bigger question as the city continues to boom. “It’s not just the housing affordability that is a potential crisis for us,” she said. “The threat of displacement of our small businesses, of our cultural institutions, of our non-profits — those are also community stabilization issues that absolutely need to be solved.” Schaaf said the city’s “solutions are more limited” because state law prevents <http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=civ&group=01001-02000…> rent stabilization for commercial space. The mayor said she’s creating a new Artist Affordable Housing and Workspace Task Force, but that’s yet to be staffed. Anyka Barber, who founded Betti Ono <http://www.bettiono.com/> gallery in downtown Oakland, said the city needs to do more. “In order for it to continue to be a world-class city and build on the strengths that it has, especially around culture and arts, we really have to have the investment match the brand recognition,” she said. Barber is a lead organizer of the Oakland Creative Neighborhoods Coalition <https://www.facebook.com/KeepOAKCreative> — a newly formed group that’s calling for the re-establishment of Oakland’s Arts Commission, which had its funding and staff eliminated more than five years ago. “There’s a lot of talk about the economic development side of arts experiences or cultural experiences, based on people visiting, what kinds of funds or revenues that brings back to the city,” Barber said. “Currently, it looks like maybe 1.3 percent of the total city budget is funding or investing in community development or cultural programs. That does not reflect equity.” [image: The Rock Paper Scissors Collective's mission statement.] <http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/08/RS16279_RPS-mi…> The Rock Paper Scissors Collective’s mission statement. (Andrew Stelzer/KQED) The coalition’s demands were left out of the recently adopted 2016-17 city budget. Rock Paper Scissors, meanwhile, has until the end of the month to find a new space or close up shop and try to raise more money. The collective is seeking volunteers to help pack up and move <http://rpscollective.org/help-rock-paper-scissors-pack-and-move/> to a yet-to-be-determined location. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
