Updated the SudoRoom calendars - are we around Thanksgiving week?

by Romy Ilano

Are we around Thanksgiving week? i updated the sudoroom lu.ma calendars https://lu.ma/sudoroom will be adding themes, they seem to help a bit with vibe. Have we thought about promoting ourselves as a low cost hackerspace? I'm hearing prices for similar (though more organized and cleaner hackerspace =P) and the memberships are running $150-200 minimum. Which is fair! just that we are a nice alternative and are community oriented. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Fwd: Roof Renovation Starting TODAY

by Paige P

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Valerie Jameson <valerie(a)thecalli.org> Date: Tue, Oct 29, 2024, 9:08 AM Subject: Roof Renovation Starting TODAY To: omnidelegates <omnidelegates(a)googlegroups.com> Cc: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com>, <cultlabsboard(a)googlegroups.com> Hi everyone, After some uncertainty the roofers arrived today at 8:30 am and are starting on the 48th street corner. Closest to CCL and the disco room. They will be moving clockwise throughout the building in sections. Most of the tear down is happening in the next 72 hours and the entire project is slated to last two weeks. They will wrap up daily by 4-5 pm. They have a 4 person crew : Cleaver is the Forman, Marcelo, (another person) and David as the Project Manager. They are using the neighboring properties' parking spaces to fit their equipment. I have yet to speak with their Project Manager this morning, but will get end of day updates starting today. *Roof work preparation:* - Avoid parking on Shattuck - Discourage folks from hanging out outside - Remove hanging items and things on walls - Be cautious and move items that are stored too close to one another that can crash -bump against each other due to unavoidable vibration during tear off - Consider wrapping items in a protective material. - Secure items in bins/boxes that are sensitive to dust - Place tarps or plastic sheeting to avoid debris and dust falling on personal property - Consider wearing an K95 grade mask or higher to avoid inhaling any toxins from chipped paint etc. I will be on site early today and tomorrow to offer support to groups that need it. Feel free to reach out to me on Slack or email to get in touch. -- *Valerie Jameson* (she/ella) Property Manager - 4799 Shattuck Avenue <https://www.google.com/maps/search/4799+Shattuck+Avenue?entry=gmail&source=g> *Collective Action & Land Liberation Institute (CALLI) * CALLI Website <https://www.thecalli.org/> East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/ebprec> | X <https://www.x.com/ebprec> | Instagram <https://www.instagram.com/eb.prec> | YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/ebprec> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/company/ebprec> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnidelegates" group.

Misfit Shine and other no-longer-supported wearables?

by Judy Tuan

I just found my old Misfit Shine, an activity tracker from around 10 years ago. All its apps appear to be down. Does anybody know how to decode bluetooth signals, maybe we can get step data off of the thing and start using it again? Does anyone know of a wiki or something of defunct fitness gadgets and their open-source life support? lf such projects exist in the world? Maybe there are things for really popular old fitness trackers but I don't think the Misfit Shine ever got much traction lol. I used to wear my Shine in a beautiful sacred-geometry-looking necklace peripheral and I'd check it kinda like a pocketwatch. It doesn't have a display, but it could tell you the time and your % progress to your daily step goal via tiny little LED dots around the edge. It is a svelte little thing. Swarovski even did a collab to make a crystal version plus sparkly bracelets for it. I was the target market for such a gadget and probably the only one. lol

Sudo Room hours and access rules under new ownership

by Paige P

Hi everyone, Please read over the attached lease we signed with the new building owners, CALLI. CALLI recently asked us to list who our "Designated Individuals" will be. It looks like they are asking for up to 6 people, 3 with "extended access" from 9pm-12pm and 3 with 24 hr access. Until we choose "designated individuals" and work out the side door access with CALLI, *we are limited to using the building only during open hours from 7am-9pm (7 days a week). * It makes sense to me to have these spots open to those who host events and those who can be on call in case of emergency. One other change is that we should no longer be going into spaces outside of Sudo Room, bathroom, or passageways unless there is a public event or we get an ok from CALLI first. The sewing lab downstairs is also closed at the moment, since CC does not yet have a lease for the space. Happy to share more if needed! Paige

CCC 2024 Vouchers

by Spicy Bits

Hello everyone, The Chaos Communications Congress (CCC) is happening again this year between December 27th and 30th in Hamburg. Does Sudo Room want to apply to get early bird tickets? If so, we need to request them ASAP by emailing 38C3-tickets(a)cccv.de Context The CCC have implemented a system by which "chaos community members" (e.g. hackerspace organizers, etc) can apply for vouchers. These vouchers allow community members to purchase tickets before the main sale dates. If used, the vouchers regenerate every 24 hours; this allows regional hackerspaces to buy tickets early-bird tickets to the main sale, with some rate limiting applied. Note that tickets are likely to sell out very fast during the main sale dates in November. As far as I'm aware, Sudo Room was not awarded such a voucher by the CCC admins. However, we should be able to apply for one, as per their documentation: > If you are part of a group (local CCC group, hackerspace from all over the world, etc.) that has not received any vouchers yet and you think you should get a voucher, please email us as soon as possible at 38C3-tickets [at] cccv [dot] de. It does not hurt to ask, and if we forgot you or agree that you should receive vouchers, we can only help you if we know it early on. Note the suggestion to contact CCC early. They announced this voucher system on 2024-10-17. The voucher pre-sale period started yesterday (2024-10-22) so we should contact them soon if people want a good chance of getting tickets! I hope everyone is doing well otherwise! See you at CCC this year, maybe! Spicy References CCC ticket sale docs: https://tickets.events.ccc.de/38c3/docs/ Blog post announcing sale: https://events.ccc.de/en/2024/10/17/38c3-presale-modus-operandi/ ticket sale page: https://tickets.events.ccc.de/38c3/

Pilfer/Theft Proof Money Donation apparatus for Free Store (and Sudoroom)?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: Now that the Free Store has to pay rent: can we design some sort of donation apparatus for them that can accept money but is not easily pilfered? My initial thought is some sort of large free-standing but heavy plastic tube structure (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorade_box) but I'm open to other ideas. Bonus points: add some sort of fun sound as in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbEKAwCoCKw We could make these for sudoroom and the fabric and textile area too. Anyone else interested in working on this? -Peter

Arduino 101 aka Intel Curie w/bluetooth

by Jake

I know where there a bunch of these, but they're a little bit deprecated. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/13787 Does anyone think there's a good project that could be made with these things, that could be offered as a kit for people to build during a class at Sudoroom? Maybe some sort of music making thing, or an art piece that makes patterns onto an old monitor? It's a very powerful computer, in an arduino form factor. -jake

Blender for repair donation? (fwd)

by Jake

this message came into another list, does anyone want a blender that probably needs cleaning (i'm guessing the smell is that food got into the motor?) -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2024 17:46:55 -0700 From: Erika Weinheimer <erika.weinheimer(a)icloud.com> Subject: Blender for repair donation? Hi! I have a blender that’s *mostly* working. It works but smells of burning rubber, so likely something that is an easy repair. Would y’all be interested in a donation of this? I was luckily able to upgrade, and don’t want to throw the old one out. Let me know and I’m happy to drop it off at Omni Commons. Thanks, Erika

9/21 - great hybrid event at SudoRoom do go! Common Tools for Common Socio-Environmental Problems! (hybrid)

by Romy Mimi Ilano

https://lu.ma/wd747lxq Folks there's a great event on September 21st - do go! it looks like it's going to be awesome!!!!! *Common Tools for Common Socio-Environmental Problems <https://sudoroom.org/announcing-a-hybrid-skill-sharing-event-common-tools-f…>* *An hybrid event for skill-sharing and knowledge exchange* How can we help each other make sense and respond to pressing socio-technical-and-environmental problems? Looking in our past and present we can find collaborative tools, approaches, and sociocultural practices to answer this question. Join us for an evening of presentations, skill-sharing workshops, and artistic performances at Sudoroom, your friendly neighborhood hackerspace! *!!! Donations will be requested to help support the community space and the artists !!!* *Format:* Hybrid with in-person and online presentations *ABSTRACTS* *Paths to assistive technology: Repair & DIY, Right to Repair, and Reverse Engineering* by *Liz Henry* *There is a lot of home-grown wisdom in disabled communities about adapting or making "assistive tech" - things like wheelchair modifications, small devices that make life easier. And there are inventors---often disabled inventors---creating super complicated devices as well. There are also books, papers, and research with plans for DIY assistive tech. Grassroots Open Assistive Tech aims to collect, preserve, and propagate that info and encourage the use of open licensing to make ecosystems for building & sharing so that more people can get the adaptive equipment they need!* *Community Digital Territories: Baobáxia* *by Vince - Casa de Cultura Tainã / Rede Mocambos* *“The idea comes from the Baobab, an African tree that lives for thousands of years and symbolically represents the collective memory of the territory. Baobáxia is the union of baobabs with galaxies. Galaxies of memories of community territories, on the Baobab Route, on the Path of the Stars..” Baobab is a network of mucuas, computers with free software, GNU/Linux, operating on the community network through the local Wi-Fi, even without internet. The mucuas host different galaxies of knowledge and digital applications such as collections, maps, blogs. All mocambolas can share their knowledge in the form of audio, videos, articles, documents, images, maps and soon much more. The knowledge of each mucua can be synchronized with the others, over the internet or on the local network through mobile mucuas. A mucua can be a very robust computer, like Madiba, which is located at the Community Data Center of the Tainã Cultural Center, or even a simple USB stick. This way, knowledge is maintained in our territories and shared on our networks. Baobáxia is created by Rede Mocambos, a collaboration between quilombolas, indigenous peoples, Nartisans, and artists from all over Brazil and beyond.* *The WBSW (Wheelchair Battery Spot Welder)* *by Criptastic Hacker* *An eco-soluton to reporposing batteries for useful projects! Every year, many thousands of large lead-acid batteries from wheelchairs are discarded to landfill because they don't offer enough torque for the motors to push a human across city blocks, or even around the house. However, these batteries still have a lot of instantaneous JUICE to create--- sparks! * *This project repurposes my old wheelchair batteries into a fully functional portable spot welder. With spot welding, you can repurpose EVEN MOAR by taking recycled laptop and car Li-ion and LifePo cells and creating new packs from them -- for your DIY projects like robots, outdoor sound systems, and so much moar! * *It's reporposing batteries to repurpose batteries. And since the materials used in batteries are some of the most toxic to our planet and have major health and worker rights issues around the materials mining for them, getting the most life out of them possible - and de-investing from that industry - is very good for both people and the planet.* *Resisting Contextual Collapse: How an Internet of Places (iPlaces) can help Field Stations and Marine Labs Operationalize FAIR and CARE Principles for Environmental Sustainability and Social Justice* by Erin Robinson & Neil Davies *Research stations help scientists gather data at source and witness the resilience and fragility of our planet firsthand. Despite their role in understanding the complex physical, biogeochemical, ecological, social, and economic interactions that constitute place, station contributions and those of the local community often remain unrecognized. Metadata describing the samples/data they help originate is too easily stripped or lost as value is added downstream. To fight this “contextual collapse,” we present a new publishing platform (iPlaces) that empowers investigators to publish descriptions of their field projects (marker papers) in a station journal, providing each project with a landing page and a digital object identifier. Through the familiar manuscript review process (with the station director acting as editor), iPlaces introduces a way to layer ethical, legal, social, and scientific metadata to field research. Part of a collaborative ecosystem, iPlaces links and leverages a suite of online services (e.g., GEOME, ORCID, DataCite, iSamples, Local Contexts), promoting their uptake in place-based research. In this talk, I will focus on our recent work with Local Contexts, where iPlaces enables a station to issue ‘notices’ for a proposed project, thus initiating dialogue with local communities and combatting “parachute science”. Communities can then issue ‘labels’, a form of social metadata (e.g., Prior Informed Consent), to projects and their downstream field samples/data, helping to operationalize CARE as well as FAIR data principles. As data and samples move downstream, value-added products are linked automatically through the global open science infrastructure, ensuring the connection back to place (the station and its associated communities). iPlaces thus positions stations as crucial partners connecting nature and communities to the global research enterprise, supporting scientific discovery and environmental stewardship in the service of people, places, and planet. * *Community Science Air Quality Monitoring for Environmental Justice * by José Ramon Becerra Vera *Open hardware and community science provide populations overburdened by pollution with the tools, knowledge, and data to advocate for environmental justice. Communities are often the first to notice pollution in their homes and neighborhoods. Yet, they are frequently excluded from scientific research that follows initial reports of smells, tastes, and health symptoms. This disconnect misses the opportunity to teach communities about pollution while neglecting local experiences that could help understand exposure, identify toxic sources and high concentrations, and contribute to environmental science. Implementing open technologies like DIY air monitors in community science can teach and empower participants as experts in instrumentation, data, and analysis and enable communities to explore research questions shaped by their unique experiences. Open hardware allows pollution-affected communities to harness their lived experiences, newly developed expertise and collected environmental data to drive meaningful environmental justice efforts.* *Air Quality* by Eseibio Halliday aka "The Revolutionary Eseibio The Automatic" *Rap song written by Eseibio will be performed live to close the event.* After all the presentations, we will continue on with a free-form skill-sharing / hacking session until it is time to catch the last train home. Join us! *Who:* - Valerie (trust framework for science-community collaborations), Oregon State University (*TBD*) - Jose (air quality / open hardware), Purdue University - Vince (community digital territories *Baobáxia), Casa Tainã *Rede Mocambos - Erin (community data / open data), Metadata Game Changers REMOTE - Liz Henry (diy wheelchair stuff), Grassroots Open Assistive Tech - Criptastic Hacker (Build a spot welder from an old wheelchair battery) REMOTE - Masi (Cybersecurity for the Environment / How we moved from the Fidonet Era, Mascanc.net <http://mascanc.net/>) REMOTE - Eseibio Halliday (environmentally conscious rap artist) - LF (host) *Organization:* SEEKCommons project Sudoroom community members *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>*

Sudo Room member banned from Omni Commons

by Ashley T

I am checking if the Sudo Room received info about a member being banned from Omni Commons.

We have been following up and the results were more negative and dishonesty from him.* *Below are updates and concerns:* - On Tuesday August 20th, the Tuesday and Friday WFM (Bay & Harrison Oakland) pick up crew agreed to stop donations going to Omni's food giveaway on Tuesday / Friday that Sierk coordinated. - On Thursday September 5th, I have asked Sierk to stop handling EBFNB donations and he agreed. - I'm also asking Sierk to stop welcoming people who are not a part of Omni to go in our fridge downstairs and help themselves on their own. I found out on Friday (Sept. 6) after two people were seen doing that and they told me Sierk gave them permission. There was no communication from Sierk to any EBFNB volunteers or Omni members. (My leniency reached its limit from this) *The concerns are:* *- Food handling from Sierk are unkempt, unsanitary, unhygienic body and foul body odor.* *- Sierk never proposed the food giveaway event (on Tues / Fri) to neither Omni or EBFNB for a discussion and approval.* *Despite several request and suggestions to do so.* *- Non communicative and irresponsible and disrespectful with food donations and usage of EBFNB spaces and in other areas at Omni.* *Recently there were hundreds of pounds of food (grains stored in the kitchen) that had to be discarded that he accepted and not taking responsibility for it. Leaving it out that attracted rats, and volunteers to deal with.* *Smelly soiled clothing of his were found in the corners of the kitchen.* *This was addressed to him and he disregarded it.* *- Inappropriate and erratic behaviors towards volunteers.* *Includes talking down to and shouting at people.* *There's a video footage (taken by an Omni member) of Sierk shouting at a new EBFNB volunteer. She disengaged and walked away.* *His angry behavior is a pattern towards volunteers including myself last Thursday the 29th.* *- M**ade decisions that risks the building and people in it to harm. Includes allowing known problematic persons in (that are not members of any groups at Omni).* *- Disregard multiple requests to not sleep inside Omni, not cleaning up after usage of space.* *Sierk sleeps in Omni sitting up on his desk area and when approached he says he is working (non Omni or collectives related) on his laptop late into the night or all nighters. His leg is swelling up as a suspected result of habitual sleeping while sitting up.* *- Rejected several offers from different people to assist in getting proper medical care. Have been self diagnosing his body as a "medical condition" and using it as a reason for behavior.* *- P**rior violent verbal interactions at volunteers. Was never held accountable or acknowledged wrong doings and tried to justify his actions (and believable to some volunteers...)* *This preventable harm resulted in several upset volunteers that are afraid and hurt to quit EBFNB and not going to Omni specifically to avoid him.* *This is not an exhaustive list and there are proof for all the concerns and claims.* *The concerns has negatively affected collectives and the spaces in the building; Liberated Lens, Sacred Maker Arts Collective, individuals at Omni, and volunteers within EBFNB.* *The organizations, individuals, and volunteers has put in their numerous complaints and it was addressed without a sustained helpful solution, acknowledgement, or accountability from EBFNB.* *I foresee new complaints to us from the new entity that will soon manage / be responsible to the building begining this week.* *On Friday they discovered another person who appears to be sleeping in a part of the building:* *" *He said he was not sleeping there, and would be leaving at 6pm after doing some sewing. I hope my concern is unfounded, but it definitely looked like he might be staying there. When I asked what collective he was a part of he said he was with CC. There were also some cats with him. Since CALLI doesn’t own the property yet I can’t really take any action. I am hopeful he does leave by 6pm today, but wanted to alert you delegates since until Monday or Tuesday you are still responsible for the building. I would appreciate if you could make your best non-violent efforts to ensure that space is vacant by the time CALLI does take ownership and responsibility for the space. *"* The person mentioned above is not Sierk. I'm sharing this to share a sense of how the building will be managed. I have been patiently following up throughout the years and was unsuccessful in my attempts to remedy the situation. There are others that have been trying to help without success. We had a help Sierk committee that was created this mid year that included several of us: Ron, Helen, Joe, Judith and I. I have not shared updates to this email list since a couple of volunteers (Judith, Ron) requested I don't do that or even mention his name. Our attempts to support failed and we need to update / reach out to the larger group. *Sierk - I think not making Omni your home and being open to receiving proper medic care will help you.* *- It would be better if you don't repeat the dishonesty in your response to volunteers so they can better help you.* *- Please remove all your belongings and yourself from the building.* *You are no longer welcome in the space due to the numerous concerns mentioned.* *- Currently there are no mediations nor restorative justice planned (from me anyway) since it may be too late, we didn't prioritize the incidents when it first occurred.* *-If you can, do some reflecting and reach out to whoever you feel comfortable speaking with.* Compassion differs from pity. Pitying Sierk isn't helping him or us in any space, it doesn't address solutions but provides a temporary sense of relief such as bringing him clean clothes and food regularly and not laundry / food service that he can attend to himself (the clothes begins to soiled in corners and food accumulates and spoils in the upstairs fridge). Pity prolongs the problems and makes it difficult for the person to grow out of the accustomed unhealthy lifestyle. All - Please refrain (especially those who do not frequent Omni to have enough understanding) from reacting to my message. We can have conversations and talk about it further for details and context, which I can be open to share more. If a fluid meeting is necessary I can set up a video call where we can all interact in a timely manner and see each other.

had a rat issue Thursday morning at coffee & algorithms - please clean out!

by Romy Ilano

Hey folks - the not so fun stuff! Whenever you have a creative space like SudoRoom, there are risks. However without the risks, you cannot have the rewards, and we certainly have something different from more corporately run creative spaces. I ran into a problem with two rats Thursday morning - I am against banning or killing rats, but they do their best to cause mischief, distract, and hijack a lot of good things from happening! I think the problem was in ignoring the issue (my fault) and also not being more disciplined. So I made sure to take out the trash. Someone had left some rotting fruit out the past few days, and had avoided the problem - I was one of those people! There has been rotting fruit on the SudoRoom table. Usually this isn't a problem during tuesday or Monday when there is a large group of cool people together in one place, but when a few cool people go to the space alone outside of those days - you're bound to run into rats! I realize I was part of the problem and cleaned house, and the rotting fruit is now in the trash. Anyway on a brighter note: here are some notes from the last few sessions of cofee and whiteboarding - it was really great divorcing algorithms from soulless and ineffective youtube videos to become something delightfcul! https://sudoroom.org/coffee-and-algorithms-bringing-the-soul-back/ rats are people too, and I don't want to kill them, but the unneecesary drama they bring can be probably quarantined. we are thinking of creating separate rat cages to sandbox these creatures to make the space safer for godo things... who knows? we'll figure it out! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

SudoRoom folks traveling to other hackerspaces - Carl in NYC

I wrestled these photos (just kidding) and am trying to get more interesting details from Carl - but does anyone have any photos of visiting other hackerspaces as a delegate of sudoroom? https://sudoroom.org/sudoroom-visit-nyc-resistor/ These are so cute!

Thursday morning there were rats - (a necessary risk) - but folks, please clean out any food!

by Romy Mimi Ilano

Hey folks, Thursday morning my coffee & algorithms session with other people were disrupted by two rats. I accept the rats as an acceptable risk, because it's great to share creativity and food. However. I figured out what was up and instead of getting embroiled in more rat drama I quickly disentangled myself and quarantined the session. It was important for me to take some rotting fruit out and toss it out, and not entertain any of the rat nonsense. In the future we might be able to sequester the rats in their own space, and then folks who want to create can go in separate areas. Rats have feelings too! I've had a lot of fun at hackerspaces over the year, but ignoring the problem isn't the solution, and we are always going to have to accept the reality of rats if we want to have community. https://sudoroom.org/coffee-and-algorithms-bringing-the-soul-back/ keep on learning folks! *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>*

Fwd: Fire Inspection this Friday

by Paige P

Hi Sudo Room, there is a fire inspection Friday. I suggest we do some cleaning today and tomorrow. I am able to help clean at 7PM tomorrow, can anyone else join? Below is a list from Ojan and Sarah of what to do. Our main work will be making things look less messy. Paige ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ojan Mobedshahi <ojan(a)ebprec.org> Date: Tue, Sep 10, 2024 at 10:03 PM Subject: Fire Inspection this Friday To: omnidelegates <omnidelegates(a)googlegroups.com>, cc OrangeLush < orangelush(a)gmail.com> Cc: Noni Session <noni(a)ebprec.org>, Candida Haynes <candida(a)ebprec.org>, hiroko kurihara <hiroko(a)ebprec.org>, Freeway <freeway.the.writer23(a)gmail.com > Hi Team! *I know we should probably have a party to celebrate the building being saved! BUT, we have a fire inspection scheduled for this Friday, so we have to get through that first lol.* I'm going to be around for a few hours Tomorrow and Thursday to prepare, and will be entering all the spaces. I hope each collective can organize their own spaces as you have in the past to pass fire inspections. I will need to open all doors for the fire inspector on Friday, so please let me know if there is a space you have an exclusive key to. A few typical items that Sarah has flagged for me: *1. Things blocking electrical panels* *2. Things obstructing egress paths*… the rear hallway leading to the 48th St exit and the hallway in the basement leading to the stairs that go up to the back of the ballroom are the two that regularly are blocked *3. Extension cords used in place of permanent wiring (unplug and wind these up)* *4. Hazmat items not stored in cabinet that aren’t being used by a person present* — also make sure hazmat cabinet in the basement isn’t obstructed by stuff … this has also been a regular occurrence *5. Items stored within 24 inches from ceiling.* *6.

This Evening (Tues Sep 10): Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sodoers: We had a great time at last night’s USA-CA-South San Francisco Library Fixit Clinic Repair Advice Workshop https://www.ssf.net/Events/Fixit-Clinic-Repair-Advice-Workshop-Sept-2024 (Photos at https://photos.app.goo.gl/qyXw5zNzzf9XkEYv8) - We’ve got one person (Terry) who registered for tonight’s Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins: Desktop computer Cyberpower PC C Series / ET8160-47547 Turns on, but shows nothing when connected to monitor I went to Best buy, they suggested fried motherboard - Also: Sudoroom member Hilary is going to bring some linux-converted Chromebooks she needs help with. Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do. So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom (or SoftWEAR downstairs) and get them started on their projects? And to keep an eye out for people who are standing tentatively in the entrance between Counter Culture Labs and Sudoroom and be welcoming to them? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. Many thanks, -Peter

Could you guys email me inspiring open source projects and why they're important?

by Romy Ilano

The prompt for this week's hardware hack night is "open source" So far I got PSUD Inkstich / inkscape Could you mention in a snippet why the open source has helped you and why? Blender is a biggie - I will put this hopefully in a blog post when I have time. https://sudoroom.org/mochi-at-hardware-hack-night-custom-cushions/ Also, next week's theme is "hidden potential" and wil feature inventors who have beat the odds to overcome stuff like child marriage, lack of formal educatio and even famine to shine! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

More Sewcialist Software • Seamly2D

by Muirén NíSídach

https://github.com/FashionFreedom/Seamly2D https://seamly.io https://forum.seamly.io Seamly2D is pattern design software to create scalable, sharable custom-fit patterns using bespoke tailoring, haute couture, and historical pattern drafting techniques. Seamly2D saves time and improves fit by creating patterns as reusable, editable parametric CAD engineering documents. Unlike other pattern design software, Seamly2D allows designers to have complete control of the patternmaking process. Each Seamly2D pattern can read multi-size tables for boutique sizing and read individual measurement files for custom-fit. Seamly2D is open-source software released under the GPLv3+ license. Seamly2D is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. To learn more about Seamly2D on a personal level, join our friendly, active, international, multilingual user forum. On our forum you may post questions about patternmaking and Seamly2D in any language you choose, as sewing terms are rich with idioms that are not always translatable word-for-word.

Group Museum Visit at the Oakland Museum next first Sunday in October

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/omca-free-first-sunday/ Hey folks, the "where is the art and math?" in the museum has gone pretty well! It's so fun! We decided to continue, and Sunday sounds like a great day to go to visit our very own Oakland museum. Sunday is the free day too - and it's a great time to go, a lot less stressy than the first Thursdays which clash with other events. Brainstorming stuff to think about, but the Oakland Museum has a cool history section with a "Silicon Valley Garage" that is really neat! *Date/Time* Date(s) - 2024/10/06 *2:00 pm - 5:00 pm* - Sign up at https://lu.ma/ml7zb8ka <https://lu.ma/ml7zb8ka> ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

common tools for common sociotechnical + environmental problems: event proposal

by unixjazz

Dear all, I have been asking around the space to see if folks would be interested in having an event for skill-sharing of "common tools" to respond to social, technical, and environmental problems. Here is a rough draft of what we came up with thus far: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/common-tools-event-oakland I was wondering if more people would like to participate / help organize? All the details are still TBD! Best wishes, LF.

Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sodoers: We’ve got one person (Sagnicthe) who registered for tonight’s Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins: Polaroid camera Mi first One of the buttons does not work I pulled it apart to figure out the problem Sagnicthe (I’ll bring in some things to work on too.) Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do. So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom (or sewing downstairs) and get them started on their projects? And to keep an eye out for people who present tentatively between Counter Culture Labs and Sudoroom and be welcoming to them? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. Many thanks, -Peter
