Update donate button on sudoroom.org

by Marc Juul

I updated the donate button on sudoroom.org so it now let's you do either a one-time credit card donation + has a link to sudo-humans for recurring. We should set up paypal as well if people want to give us that. It would also be nice to have recurring payments without needing a sudo-humans account. If anyone feels like adding that to the wordpress. -- marc/juul

Need a heavy duty lazy susan?

by Steve Berl

It's actually the base that used to hold our "huge" 36" CRT TV. That TV weighed well over 200 pounds, and this handled it with ease. There's a metal platform that the TV sat on. That platform can pivot 360 degrees around on a nice bearing. Then that entire platform is on heavy duty drawer slides that let the whole thing slide back and forth about a foot. That in turn is attached to a metal frame that was bolted to a shelf. If anyone has a use for this thing, let me know and it is yours. Also if you want more details or pictures, just email me and I will answer. Have fun, -- -steve

adeola Enigbokan - the renter's archive (NYC)

by Romy Ilano

this is from 2013 but it's a cool piece my friend Adeola Enigbokan did on gentrification and rising rents do we have stuff like this at SudoRoom or the Omni? http://archivingthecity.com/2013/09/15/the-renters-archive/ The Renters’ Archive Posted on September 15, 2013 Over the past couple of months, I’ve been working on a new Archiving the City intervention, called *“The Renters’ Archive”* based on my experiences of renting apartments in Brooklyn over the past decade. This project was commissioned by The Laundromat Project <http://laundromatproject.snappages.com/field-day.htm>, and developed in collaboration with The Laundromat Project’s Create Change Fellows <http://laundromatproject.snappages.com/cc-pd-fellows>. <http://archivingthecity.com/interventions/for_renters2/> <http://archivingthecity.com/2013/09/15/the-renters-archive/rentersarchive_f…> *THE RENTERS’ ARCHIVE: Bed Stuy edition* *SATURDAY, SEPT 21* *12:30 – 4:30 PM* Venue: For My Sweet Gallery <http://bed-stuy.patch.com/listings/for-my-sweet> (1103 Fulton St., Brooklyn, NY 11238–between Franklin & Classon) C train or Shuttle to Franklin RSVP & Info: TheRentersArchive(a)gmail.com In a nation of homeowners, where owning property is the still The Dream, New York stands out as a city of life-long renters. The Renters’ Archive project provides a way to explore the experience of being a renter, by looking at the objects and habits and relationships and dreams that a person collects over the course of a renting life. On September 21, 2013, The Renters’ Archive will present the opportunity for residents of Bed-Stuy and surrounding neighborhoods to reflect upon their own experiences of being renters–a situation shared by approximately 80% of the neighborhood’s residents. Please stop by and share your own experiences of renting (or landlording) by partaking in a series of artist-led workshops and performances. What is the home of your dreams? Can you remember all the places you’ve lived in, and all the neighbors you’ve had? If you could write your own lease, what would it say? What are the objects that you take with you every time you move? How do you archive your valuable documents and artifacts? What do you do to make a new place feel like home?As part of this event, I will be presenting a new participatory performance:*A NEW LEASE FOR NEW YORK*Have you taken a good look at your lease lately? A lease is a legal contract that defines the roles of “Tenant” and “Landlord,” and anticipates, or limits, the relations between these two entities. As renters, when we sign leases, we often do not have the time to reflect upon the relationship we are entering into with our landlords. This workshop provides a chance to do just that: reflect and transform relationships with our spaces, our neighbors and our landlords. *An artist will act as “notary,” and will be on hand to type out a new lease for you. *What is your ideal relationship with the ideal landlord? What do you expect of yourself as a tenant? Could a lease include a relationship with your neighbors? Do you have the capacity to transform your current relationship with your current landlord? *THE RENTERS’ ARCHIVE: Bed Stuy edition* *SATURDAY, SEPT 21* *12:30 – 4:30 PM* Venue: For My Sweet Gallery <http://bed-stuy.patch.com/listings/for-my-sweet> (1103 Fulton St., Brooklyn, NY 11238–between Franklin & Classon) C train or Shuttle to Franklin RSVP & Info: TheRentersArchive(a)gmail.com In a nation of homeowners, where owning property is the still The Dream, New York stands out as a city of life-long renters.

Design Fiction > have we thought about creating our ideal vision of the future with film?

by Romy Ilano

I saw some design fiction films at at the SF Critical Design and Imagined Futures meetup. I'm wondering, have any SudoRoom filmmakers or others at the Omni created any design fiction films? It would be cool to show films with: - worker collectives - a world where people barter/contribute through time banks instead of heavily capitalist systems - a kind of imaginary world where there is affordable housing provided for all and people do not face eviction / housing shortages and live in yurts If we have a party maybe it would be cool to try to do a design fiction film with one of these speculative idealized futures. =D https://www.media.mit.edu/research/groups/design-fiction Sparking imagination and discussion about the social, cultural, and ethical implications of new technologies through design and storytelling. Sample Projects - - Im)possible Baby Ai Hasegawa, Sputniko! and Asako Makimura Delivering a baby from same-sex parents is not a sci-fi dream anymore–recent developments in genetics and stem cell research have made this dream much closer to reality. Is creating a baby from same-sex parents the right thing to do? Who has the right to decide this, and how? This project explores the bioethics of producing babies for same-sex couples. In the first phase, DNA data will be simulated to visualize the "potential baby." The project will then explore creating partial organs of the "potential baby" over the next few years. You have the right to know, think, and raise your voice about whether this dream becomes a reality–not just the authorities and researchers. view site <http://aihasegawa.info/?works=impossible-baby> - CremateBot: Transform, Reborn, Free Sputniko! and Dan Chen CremateBot is an apparatus that takes in human-body samples—such as fingernails, hair, or dead skin—and turns them into ashes through the cremation process. The process of converting human remains to ashes becomes a critical experience for observers, causing witnesses to question their sense of existence and physical self through the conversion process. CremateBot transforms our physical self and celebrates our rebirth through self-regeneration. The transformation and rebirth open our imagination to go beyond our physical self and cross the span of time. Similar to Theseus' paradox, the dead human cells—which at one point were considered part of our physical selves and helped to define our sense of existence—are continually replaced with newly generated cells. With recent advancements in implants, biomechatronics, and bioengineered organs, how we define ourselves is increasingly blurred. view site <http://www.pixedge.com/crematebot> - Crowbot Jenny Sputniko! (Hiromi Ozaki) Crowbot Jenny, inspired by Donna Haraway’s philosophical memoir When Species Meet (2007), is a solitary girl who, despite her generation’s tendency toward communication overload, has trouble relating to her peers. In fact, Crowbot Jenny prefers to talk with animals and develops the Crowbot, an instrument that replicates a range of crow calls, to commune with her army of birds. Sputniko! talked with various crow specialists from University of Cambridge (UK), University of Utsunomiya (Japan), and University of Tokyo (Japan) who also provided her with sample crow calls—such as "Hello," "I'm in danger," "I love you!" or "Where is my Child!?"—which she installed inside Crowbot. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Biohacking is so much cooler than programming!

Yeah you heard that right. Everyone can write javascript now. You're not special.

transborder immigrant tool (TBT) -> undocumented immigrant mobile phone app art project

by Romy Ilano

One of the most well done usability mobile phone apps I've ever seen. Some artist academics created a feature phone mobile app for undocumented immigrants on the San Diego/Tijuana desert border. It was a very simple compass app that also had a tuning fork feature. the closer the immigrants came to hidden water reserves left out by charities and activists, the more the phone would vibrate. This was to solve the problem of immigrants dying of thirst in the desert. Of course they got into trouble... <3 http://hyperallergic.com/54678/poetry-immigration-and-the-fbi-the-transbord… Almost five years ago, Electronic Disturbance Theater (EDT) 2.0 <http://digitalarts.lcc.gatech.edu/unesco/internet/artists/int_a_edtheater.h…> /b.a.n.g. lab <http://bang.calit2.net/> released the first iteration of the Transborder Immigrant Tool <http://bang.calit2.net/xborderblog/> (TBT), a mobile-phone technology that provides poetry to immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border while leading them to water caches in the Southern California desert. In 2010, the project caused a firestorm of controversy on the American political scene, and the artists of EDT/b.a.n.g. lab were investigated by three Republican Congressmen, the FBI Office of Cybercrimes and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), where Ricardo Dominguez, co-founder of EDT (with Brett Stalbaum) and principal investigator of b.a.n.g. lab, is an associate professor in the visual arts department. framework and open artist apis http://www.walkingtools.net ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

HAX: funding for hardware projects

by Mitch Altman

Do you have a hardware project you'd like to put out into the world? I am a mentor at HAX (formerly HAXLR8R). We choose 15 groups of people with cool hardware projects, give a small pile of money for your project, you live in Shenzhen, China for 3 months, have access to way cool tools and mentors, the groups all help each other, you learn a lot, and have a blast. And you make your project into a product that goes out into the world. At the end of the 3 days there's a big Demo Day in San Francisco where everyone shows off their projects, with plenty of media attention, and even angel investors. The deadline for the upcoming group is extended a few days. If you're interested, please submit your proposal here: http://www.hax.co/ Cheers, Mitch.

I'd like to ask that you please stop going behind the La Commune counter. If you want to make coffee, I can find another coffee make to put somewhere in the kitchen upstairs but the coffee and coffee maker behind the La Commune counter is not for the "cafe" / bookstore. In order for La Commune to function, we need to keep this space in order and we have requested that anyone who is not a member of La Commune please refrain from using this space. Thanks a lot in advance for you understanding! Niki

why i hate when people "clean up"

by Jake

someone "cleaned" the 3d printer table and now the guitar string that we use to clear up clogs in the nozzle is missing. don't clean up something if you don't know how to use it! i'd rather have a functional 3d printer or soldering setup than a clean, useless table. i fixed the motor drivers on the type A machine 3d printer, now we just need another guitar string to clean the nozzle and we're back in business. -jake

Wikimedia Foundation Board election

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, There's less than 24 hours to vote in the election for the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees. This is a really important one, in my opinion, and many others; in short, I believe the Foundation has been suffering from never having prioritized understanding the social dynamics in its volunteer base. That has been manifesting in many ways over the last year or two. With three of 10 seats open, this is a good opportunity to nudge things in a better direction. I wrote several blog posts about it, here: http://wikistrategies.net/tag/trustee-election-2015/ In order to vote, you have to have at least 300 edits to Wikipedia or its related projects -- 20 of them have to have been between last October and April. (There are some other ways to qualify too, but that's the main one.) All the voting info is here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/Board_electi… Voting ends at 4pm Pacific on Sunday May 31. Wikipedia is IMO the most widespread and in many ways most important instances of "hacker culture" having an impact. I think it's important that its social health be understood, and that such knowledge should have a strong influence in the kind of planning and intervention the Foundation does. Please take a look, and if you're eligible, vote! Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

New around here. Safety?

by Mike Wardle

I'm sorry if this isn't really correct for this list, but I thought it would be best to ask. I've just moved to Walnut Creek from a small city. While I know it not to be fully true, I've always heard the standard sterotype/generalization that 'Oakland isn't safe, blah blah blah, you're going to get shot/mugged/other'. I would love to come vist Sudoroom, everything I've read about it and the people there seems like a great time. I suppose my question is "would I be safe to take BART down from Walnut Creek to MacArthur and walk to sudo? Should I be worried?". Any tips? I'm sorry, I'm just new around here. Mike

Hackers unite

by romy＠snowyla.com

The world outside is sort of hostile to hackers ! I was a little down because many well meaning people keep trying to direct me to fields inappropriate for me.. Social work, children's education . Mommy bloggers , public school teachers Maybe it's because I'm a woman ! But I'm a hacker and nerd at heart. Why do the powers that be try to take these making people and try to drown them out to become bureaucrats? Even though we don't always get along we are honestly not passive like most normal people. I love the energy at Noisebridge and Sudoroom. If I were forced to stop being a hacker and only socialize with passive non creative folks it'd definitely be a downer But part of that energy comes with a dark side. We are often temperamental. We do not function well In sanitized environments that are "safe for kids". We Are not always the right people to do social work or teach non passionates The energy comes with a price! We are yin and yang. But id rather hang out with true ha hackers of all genders. I imagine my future surrounded by bureaucrats and it's not pretty at all .. Or folks lecturing me not to do my best work because their notions of a woman's happiness are outdated and traditional I hope we can all hug next Sunday Love you all ! Sent from my iPhone

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Noisebridge-discuss] throwback thursday: 3d printer instructional overview at noisebridge i never finished

by Romy Ilano

Very cool!!!! \(^_^)/ my biggest problem getting fully onto the 3D printing revolution is simply dealing with the 3D software. I think printing was relatively easy I'm wondering if I should help set up a repo at SudoRoom or Noisebridge I remember doing a sudoroom comics jam... we ended up taking Y's drawing and sticking it into a Makerbot tool and we had an instant 3D printout. https://github.com/sudoroom/ComicsArtSudoRoom https://github.com/sudoroom/ComicsArtSudoRoom/blob/master/TodayILearned/Tod… it was nice having the serendipity. I'm thinking of doing another drawing session at SudoRoom and taking the results and putting it to work on the laser cutter. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 12:08 AM, Torrie Fischer <tdfischer(a)hackerbots.net> wrote: > funnily enough, there was a group of ~4 hackers who visited tonight who > thought 3d thursday was still happening, then we started inventorying the > parts for the kit they acquired and demoing the flashforge, so 3d thursday > ended up happening. > > On Thursday, May 28, 2015 08:24:02 AM Romy Ilano wrote: > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjIYDlMzBk > > > > hi this is a cheeky badly made 3d instructional video for beginners I > made > > at Noisebridge 2 years ago > > > > I feel bad because i never finished it but it's a nice overview and a > nice > > use of Youtube! > > > > - I think next time I visit Noisebridge I'll try to do something similar. > > - will try to make it super easy for beginners > > - will add really obvious stuff like "this is the USB port that you stick > > your computer into. yes you can use it, go to this wiki link and download > > it here" > > > > I like the chimes too. =D > > > > > > > > > > ============================= > > > > Romy Ilano > > romy(a)snowyla.com >

In the meantime, I am going to ask for safe space bans on every member who is in the building when no one is intentionally watching the door / welcoming newcomers and the door has been left wide open. This, to me, feels like an egregious safe space violation and encourages a culture of confusion, which we are working hard to remedy. N

Like I'm so grateful

by Romy

Even though at times I got burned out by Sudoroom I can't express how much it saved me from burnout in Silicon Valley Even though we might quarrel the tech scene has so much negative sides and there are an awful lot of clueless douchebags out here who don't get it It's really cool to connect with people who are truly passionate about technology and Art. I see so many cities attempting to create their own silicon valleys and failing . You just can't The Bay Area has a unique blend of artists and socially conscious folks !!! Thank you for teaching me.

Potluck party for Omni organizers - SUNDAY May 31 3pm

by yar

We'll be partying in La Commune and elsewhere all day Sunday to celebrate everybody's hard work over the past year-and-a-half making this building happen. Please bring your love, joy and lots of food to share. The party is specifically FOR anyone who self-identifies as a tired overworked burnt-out Omni volunteer. But everyone is welcome to come and support them. :) We'll start setting up and preparing food at noon.

Come Hack With Me!

by Ryan

>From now until the meeting, I'm going to be hacking on creating copyleft curricula, focusing on basic computing skills in simple English. If you want to help, either by creating a curriculum, sharing your expertise, or figuring out the best way to make said curricula available to the world, hit me up either in person at sudo or on the list.

Laser cutter ready (yay!)

by Adam Munich

Howdy hackers, The vent tube for sudo laser cutter has been installed by I and Jake and it's ready to go for whomever needs it. On the cutter there is a URL which links to a guide to help you get started. Hack.rit.edu/tools/fsl Before you use the cutter just put the vent hose over the vent fan in back, and plug that fan in. At some point we will have a permanent home for the cutter so that step will be done for you, but not just yet. Cheers, -Adam

Restorative Justice Opportunity for sudo room (please come to mtg)

by Ryan

For those of you who aren't receiving sudo-info emails, Five Keys Charter School just sent an email inquiring if we have any basic computer classes. I have added my response to that email at the end of this email. Honestly, I think this is a huge opportunity for sudo room, even though Five Keys was founded by the San Francisco Sheriff's Department. Their goal is restorative justice through education, and I think we're in a unique position to help provide that to a community who seriously needs it and doesn't have a lot of opportunities to receive it. (Thanks capitalism!) I'd really like to discuss this at tonight's meeting. Even if we don't work with Five Keys, I think we really should do more work at providing basic tech/computer skills to the community. A lot of folks in Oakland have never gotten the opportunity to get the basic skills they'd need to join in on so many of the fantastic conversations in sudo, never mind participate in some of the "higher level" projects. If we really want to create a space where anyone in Oakland can hack, I think we need to provide more people in Oakland with the basic skills they need to spring up to the point they can self-educate. And no, I'm not saying "somebody else" should be the one to do this. If I can get my ducks in a line, I would love to try and hold some basics classes. I just can't go at it alone. This is a burden a person can't hold up on their own. Here's the email I sent to the person who contacted us on behalf of Five Keys: Hi Mario! We're not exactly a "program" -- we're a hackerspace, where anyone can come and hack any time a member is present. Occasionally, we do have what many could consider "classes" like cyber wizard institute <http://cyber.wizard.institute/>, but for the most part the learning is informal. We have groups that meet about certain subjects and if people are willing, there may be learning at those groups. Hardware Hack Night on Tuesdays at 7pm is often accessible to people who have little to no experience in circuitry, but that's not really a training course, nor is it computers. Sometimes we have Linux install parties or classes to teach the basics of cybersecurity, but they're not usually ongoing classes. However, as a group that strongly believes in Restorative Justice, I would love to know what *your *needs are at Five Keys Charter School. I personally have had some interest in seeing if sudo room could get together some basic tech literacy classes as a bit of community outreach. The only problem is, sometimes as hackers, we're a bit so entrenched in tech, we can become disassociated with what basic computer literacy is. aka, it's hard for me to tell if you're trying to find keyboarding classes, classes on how to set up and use an email account and search for jobs, and classes on how to use word processors, or if you're more interested in intro to coding, basic electrical engineering, and learning how to use a 3D printer or a laser cutter. These are *all* things that sudo room could teach, as long as we found someone, or someones willing to put together a curriculum and volunteer their time. There's only one slight problem: We don't have a lot of public computers. Now, this is also a problem that we could spend some time fixing... but we'd probably not be able to accommodate too many students within our small space if they were all on desktops we've set up. One-on-one sessions might be more feasible for us. Or, if some of your students have laptops they can bring, either their own, or lent out from your school, that's the optimal solution for our setup. If you're not already aware, sudo room is housed in a building called The Omni Commons... It's a commons space that's a horizontally-run collective of collectives. Our values as a space include restorative justice and countering the dominant culture that disenfranchises so many folks in our community. There are other groups that might be interested in working with you: Bay Area Public School teaches a variety of free classes on many topics, but usually not tech-based. You can see their class list here <https://bayareapublicschool.org/> and contact them by joining their email list <https://groups.google.com/d/forum/bayareapublicschool>. Counter Culture Labs is a biohacker space and they have a lot of wonderful lectures on biology and related topics. Some of them are more specialized and some of them just require an eagerness to learn. You can check out their upcoming events and lectures on their Meetup page <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/> and contact them by joining their email list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/counterculturelabs>. The Omni also hosts a lot of other awesome things, like pay-what-you-can yoga and martial arts classes. Sometimes things fall through a bit because we're entirely volunteer run and (for the most part) human, but we've got a lot of really cool stuff going on. You can check out our full calendar <https://omnicommons.org/calendar/> here. Pretty much everything is either free or pay-what-you-can. We try to make every event never turn anyone away for lack of funds. I personally (although I can't speak for everyone) would love to see The Omni and sudo have more opportunities to help reach out to those in our community who could most benefit from what we can offer... and please, let us know what kind of educational services are most needed, so we can see if it's something we can help with. - Ryan (note: because sudo room and the Omni is horizontally led and no one's "in charge," this email is not "official" and others may disagree with me. Please don't take anything in it as a promise! I have not had a chance to run all of this content by other collectives at a delegates meeting or by other sudo room members at a sudo room meeting... but I am going to bring this up at our meeting tonight! I think there are a lot of people who'd be on board with seeing what we can help provide Five Keys, even though it is founded by a sheriff's department.)

heads-up about Nyle

by Jake

I'm not sure what's the right list for this, if any, but... it seems that this person Nyle is at the center of a lot of conflicts lately, and is riding the edge of really unacceptable behavior. The other night when Ranette went from 0-60 it was apparently because Nyle said something unacceptable to her. I wasn't there, but I did witness an argument between Nyle and another person who had no idea what Nyle wanted to argue about. This, in context with what Niki said about Nyle in her post to the sudoroom list makes me think that people need to be aware that this person is causing problems at the space. At some point it may become necessary for this person to be asked to stay away from the Omni. thanks -jake
