locker census! if you use a locker at sudoroom, please reply!

by yar

Right now we have 10 lockers at Sudoroom. Most of them have locks, but no names, so we don't know who uses them. From now on, if you are using a locker, please: * label the locker with a name, nym, email or other contact info * send an email to sudo-discuss or info(a)sudoroom.org to say which locker you've taken * pay if you can. right now we are asking $30/month although we're open to other models. If some lockers are still unidentified after a month or two, we may take extreme measures... Thanks!

Fwd: [cfabrigade] Fwd: We Launched! Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows...

by Marina Kukso

fyi! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Catherine Bracy <bracy(a)codeforamerica.org> Date: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 4:29 PM Subject: [cfabrigade] Fwd: We Launched!

Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows... To: Catherine Bracy <bracy(a)codeforamerica.org> Hi Catherine, Hope all is well. Thanks so much for the guidance over the past few months. I’m excited to let you know that we launched the Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellows program last week. See the program here: www.mozilla.org/advocacy. We’re accepting applications for 2015 Fellows now, and I am hoping that you can help spread the news to your network — seems like an ideal opportunity for Code for America alumni. Here is a bit more about the program: - Protecting the Internet -- 2015 Fellows will work on a range of issues -- from net neutrality to privacy to anti-surveillance -- that are core to protecting the free and open web. - Attracting a Diversity of Talent -- Fellows will receive a stipend plus all sorts of living expense add ons. We want to get the best and most diverse pool of talent out there. - Using Tech to Inform the Policy Discussion -- Fellows will serve as ambassadors, mentors, and guides to their nonprofit hosts. They will work in the open helping to better inform the policy discussion throughout civil society and government. The application window closes in December. It would be so helpful to the program — and to building the army to protect the Internet -- if you would let your network know about the Fellowship opportunity. Let me know what you think and, if you can help, I’ll send you messaging (tweets, posts, etc.) to make it easy to spread the news. I’d also love to hear any ideas you have as we shape and build the program for the future. Thanks so much! --Dave ps: Here is what The Washington Post had to say about the program: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/09/30/mozilla-just-5… __________ Dave Steer Director, Advocacy Mozilla Foundation Email: davesteer(a)mozillafoundation.org Cell: 415-845-5110 Twitter: @davesteer and @MozillaAdvocacy www.mozilla.org/advocacy -- If you are having trouble unsubscribing via brigade+unsubscribe(a)codeforamerica.org, please email brielle(a)codeforamerica.org. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Code for America Brigade" group.

Fwd: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space

by Jenny Ryan

FYI. Please share any blocking concerns or general feedback! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Rise Above Printing" <info(a)riseaboveoakland.com> Date: Oct 9, 2014 9:21 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Just to update everyone on the proposal for the space I'm hoping to use for my work at the Omni. If there is consensus on it I'd like to continue preparing the space this month to move into it in November. The space I'd like to print in is the old utility room adjacent to the cafe. Once the kitchen is moved I will move the wall behind the stoves back to where it is in the floor plans, leaving a hallway that supplies sufficient egress to the exit. For the wash out room I would like to use a portion of the upstairs spa room, as in the drawing below. Although it wold be nice to have that on the same floor as my shop I'm not sure that installing the plumbing to the area near the walk in fridge is as feasible financially or time-wise right now. Perhaps that can be done further down the road. I'd also like to have a small desk at some shared office space in the building. Maybe either the ticket room or the old TIL space? If the delegates approve this proposal I'd like to ask that the utility room no longer be used to store trash. I am willing to help get the building some more larger trash cans from waste management if the working group in charge of those facilities is interested in that. I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all on Thursday night. Many thanks!

Bike Smut in Oakland TONIGHT!

by revphil

Two years ago I was given the opportunity to light a fire under the comfy haunches of some of Oakland's finest hackers. The Sudoroom hosted The Bay's last screening of Bike Smut, a touring, erotic, bicycle film festival Bike Smut 8: Come Again plays Tonight, Wednesday October 8th at Feelmore 510 in Oakland. This is the only screening in Oakland. Wed Oct 8th Downtown Oakland Feelmore 510 1703 Telegraph Ave 9pm, $10 donation -- But there is a BONUS screening just outside Oakland! Thu Oct 9th Emeryville GUAVA 4210 Holden St 8pm, $10 donation http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2014/10/extra-bay-area-action.html Adults are not given agency to claim their adulthood in many positive forms. We need your help in bringing more joyous liberation. Its time to take control of our sexuality and our transportation! The only way to see the Bike Smut Film Festival is when it plays for a live audience. The various artists' interpretations about what is great about sex and cycling are creative, clever, funny, and aware! Bike Smut has never been just a single person's vision, rather, a coalition of the horny bring this synthesis of transportation and sexuality to life. Past contributors include Gus Van Sant, Courtney Trouble, Madison Young, Tinto Brass, Pandora Blake, and countless more rad, sex-positive filmmakers! This years submissions are from Oakland, Vancouver, Chicago, Gainesville, Montreal, Berlin, Milan and Geneva! I just rode my bike across Europe for 6 months then rode it south from Oregon to Oakland. This weekend I start to ride south to LA. Come ask me about hacking sexual health or better yet make a suggestion about how to do it better. This project would not be as successful without the combined brilliance of many curious and passionate minds. cheeky, reverend phil curator Pick your favorite social media disease WORDS - https://twitter.com/#!/BikeSmut FOTOS - http://bikesmut.tumblr.com/ FACEFUCK - https://www.facebook.com/BikePornFilms OLD SCOOL - http://bikesmut.com ---------------------------------------------------------- economic ergonomic elegant efficient erotic ------- North America will Come Again! <http://bikeporntour.blogspot.com/2014/05/call-for-entries-bikesmut-8-comeag…> -------- --------------------- Bike Smut ----------------------

Borrow a projector?

by Edmund Biow

Hi folks, I was given to understand that a sudoer could check out an LED projector for an event. I could use one for anInside Urban Shield even <https://occupyoakland.org/2014/10/inside-urban-shield-hear-inside-dope-disc…>t tomorrow, I have one, but it is a low-energy 300 joule <http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-HW350T-micro-portable> jobbie, and I wouldn't mind using a slightly higher wattage unit, if possible. I saw a funky old Sanyo projector, but it didn't look like much of an improvement over my little dude. I know there used to be one over on the CCL shelves, but don't know if that has migrated. I could pick it up tomorrow mourning/afternoon and return it after the event at 10 PM. My list subscription is in daily digest mode, so CC me if you have words of sage advice on the matter.

BBK-Richmond tech job

by Paige Peterson

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hey all, In my research for mesh outreach and collaboration (particularly focusing on the Internet archive tower in Richmond), I ran into Building Blocks for Kids. They are an organization formed with the "mission of supporting the healthy development and education of all children, and the self-sufficiency of all families, living in the BBK Collaborative zone located in Richmond, California." Part of their focus is on digital literacy and access and they are currently looking to hire someone to lead this portion. More info about the position: http://bbk-richmond.org/staff/employment-opportunities/ They've already set up a couple of repeaters to spread the Internet archive wifi access and have funding to set up many more as far as I know. In the end, however, that makes all of these families dependent on the tower so Peoples Open Network could help relieve this dependency by meshing with those who can already afford Internet access in their home. Anyways, good opportunity for someone at Sudo looking for work as well as further pushing this idea of them working with the mesh instead of just setting up repeaters.

extracting robot parameters

by Jake

So the robot's control box has a bunch of constants relating to its geometry, which are important for modeling it, so that we can tell it where to go. These constants are stored in parameter arrays in the robot's memory, preloaded from ROM when we initialized it. Descriptions of the parameter values were found in a cave, in a file called ERCPRM.HLP, scrawled in an ancient dead language, but a translator was found and exported its contents to http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ERCPRM.RTF I have edited ERCPRM.rtf down to the following text file: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/params-important.txt if someone can make a program that adds the actual value of each parameter to this file, it will probably make things easier for whoever wants to make a model of the robot. the parameter data are here: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/dat/PARAM.DAT PARAM.DAT is a file starting with /PRM then each parameter array starts with // and then the name of the array and then PRM, all in one line, for example //RCPRM for the RC array. Then the parameters are listed, ten per line, as a comma-delimited list. putting these values after their corresponding line in params-important.txt would be totally awesome. -jake

robot job files and rectangular coordinates

by Jake

so far, all the robot programs we have extracted have coordinates stored in PULSE format, meaning that all positions are stored as a list of positions for the six axes. This means we have been trying to create a math model of the robot's joints to get it to do our bidding. however, today I was reading page 106 of this document: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479236-17-Communications.pdf and it explains more about the format of a Job file: ///PULSE : Indicates position data (pulse counts) ///RECTAN : Indicates position data (rectangular coordinates) so far we have only seen PULSE, but we could try RECTAN and see if we can feed the robot rectangular coordinates, like we do to a 3D printer. also there is the line starting with ///ATTR ///ATTR a-p : Job data attributes ... m = Position data format, 0 pulse, 1 rectangular ... and ///FRAME coordinate system : Identifies the job coordinate system BASE = base coordinates ROBOT = robot coordinates N = user coordinate number (1 - 8) also, we should realize that the line ///NPOS describes the number of coordinates in a job, and until now I thought we could simply add or remove coordinate lines and that would be enough, but probably not. See how the NPOS line always matches the number of coordinates (of each type) in the jobs we have saved so far: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/tree/master/jobs all our jobs are FRAME BASE and coordinates in PULSE. I don't know how to create a job any other way, so we will have to experiment. -jake

chairs!

by Ben Burke

The East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse called about four metallic outdoorsy chairs that Omni bought that have just been waiting for pickup. I did the deed, they are in the ex-barroom… they are off-white, a bit rusty, and there is a decorative sash around the lot… creative reuse indeed. If these weren’t sudo chairs, would someone pass this along to the omni list. I’m not a member.

air compressor in sudo

Really worried, missing my ScanSnap ix500 (~$500).

by David Keenan

I am very very worried that my black Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500 <https://www.google.com/search?q=fujitsu+scansnap+ix500&espv=2&biw=1367&bih=…> paper scanner appears to be gone. It was used to scan receipts, applications, legal forms, bills, insurances etc for Omni to aid in accounting and get our paperwork in order. It looks sort of like a small desktop printer (its made for scanning documents specifically). It doesn't look like a flatbed scanner.. It was apparently last seen in the cafe Friday or Saturday. Usually it was stored in the ticket booth room, but since that room is being drywalled and finished, it was no longer locked up in there. Did anyone see it or move it during the film shoot? Where is it? I am really sad and worried and upset about this and I hope someone can find it because I actually bought it to scan many legal documents and papers for my own life that I can no longer put off. I was going to go home and do it and try to take care of some stuff in my life and now I fee like I can't. Another scanner will not do. I really need this one. I have really do have thousands of papers to scan over a multiyear period. I am broke and am not going to buy another one. It cost me $500. I will continue worrying about this all the time until it is found, so please let me know if you do. Until then I will be extremely worried and upset. David

Open Access Week event

by april glaser

Hi there, I'm April, a soon to be Sudo-er (I work at EFF, fwiw). Is anyone at Sudo interested in doing an event for Open Access Week, Oct 20-26? Could we use some of the collective space to host an event that celebrates all that has been and can be accomplished when research and knowledge is accessible and not locked behind paywalls? Some ideas include a panel and screening of the Internet's Own Boy (w/ppl from film). Or a share night of various projects aimed and distributing and opening access to knowledge/fighting copyright maximalists / someone (maybe me) can offer a quick primer of current federal and CA open access laws? Please LMK if this is something Sudoroom ppl might dig or would like to host at the space. All my best, April PS: on topic https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/10/knowledge-should-not-be-trapped-behin…

OMG korg littlebits magnetic synth is open-source on github

i was totally impressed the other night at danceJS when i saw the Korg Littlebits modular analog synth... it's these magnetic modules that make up an analog synth while you snap them together on the table. and i left danceJS thinking about how nice it would be if there were an open-hardware version of this stuff, something we could make at a circuit hacking tuesday with printed circuits and printed plastics. I thought that we could 3d print a plastic frame for the modules, with the elasticity of the plastic serving as the springs for the contacts. and the circuit could be this easily etched pyralux that i have a bunch of.. and it's flexible so it can serve as the contacts on the sides of the thing. and then just now i realized that the schematics for all the littlebits stuff is published on github! http://createdigitalmusic.com/2013/12/littlebits-open-source-synth-kit-gith… of course i won't do this project alone, but if you're interested in wroking on it let me know. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] email archives for list members only, except announce?

by Jenny Ryan

Concur'd on all points, Matt. If people are concerned about their contributions being publicly viewable, they can post to 'confidential' or another private list - or simply have an in-person conversation. I'd like to know the particular use cases for which we would need closed, private mailing lists - because I strongly believe that open and transparent communication and documentation is essential to this project having an impact not just within our community, but for the wider world. If we intend to create something greater than ourselves, our methods of organizing, the problems we face and overcome, the things that bind or break us, our experiences of creating the space and communicating about it, all of this is vital and important knowledge we have a responsibility to share so that others may learn from, iterate off, adapt, fork, and possibly change their own corners of the world for the better, inspired by what we're doing here. Let's not keep our history to ourselves. Knowing that our communications are public and archivable also keeps us accountable to ourselves, each other, and the world. We should always _expect_ what we communicate online to become potentially public, and may as well just own it, be responsible for our words, and communicate with kindness and wisdom - because words are often the most powerful artifacts we leave behind for future generations to inherit. My favorite quote on communication, in particular the debate of dialogue vs. dissemination and the way in which communication flows from internal dialogue to outward dissemination: Justice that is not loving is not just; love that is not just is not loving. Just so, dissemination without dialogue can become stray scatter, and dialogue without dissemination can be interminable tyranny. The motto of communication theory ought to be: Dialogue with the self, dissemination with the other. This is another way of stating the ethical maxim: Treat yourself like an other and the other like a self.

Want an antique oscilloscope?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Anyone want this ancient oscilloscope that John left behind? If not, I may advertise it on the dorkbot list and a few other places. We could ask John to come take it, but it would be a shame to junk it - there's people who are really into this kind of stuff. Does anyone ever go the Electronics Flea Market <http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/> at De Anza College? That would be the perfect audience for this kind of item. Next one is this Saturday.

Can you provide a little feedback on my hardware project on Kickstarter?

by Autonomous

I developed a Linux based OS for the Allwinner A20 and Raspberry PI that has a Mac-like user interface and 3D POV gaming engine. The project also includes many open source Quake and Halflife game modifications, as well as a collection of other open source games. The purpose of this Kickstarter project is to raise funds to manufacture an A20-based board that has the same form factor and IO connections as the Raspberry PI Model B+, and will fit into a Model B+ case. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1429174725/orion-ogs-affordable-3-in-1… I am also launching a separate Kickstarter campaign with the same OS distro on a 16GB SD card for the Raspberry PI. It includes some unique software that I have developed for the RPi. I would certainly appreciate any feedback you may have on this project. The marketing people working with me on this are from the entertainment industry and have some interesting connections. We don't have many backers as yet because we are doing a soft-launch and will ramp up marketing and promotion shortly. Thanks!

distilled from 10/1 meeting notes: SUDO's position on CPS issue

by pat xu

let me know if anything below is objectionable/wrong/incorrect/false to you. I don't plan to READ all of this tomorrow at the delegates meeting, or add it as an official proposal, it's just for me to refer to when I represent the Sudo's position as we discuss what to do about the TIL/CPS split. *<3<3<3 WARM FUZZIES FROM SUDO <3<3<3* We affirm that printing & publishing resources are an essential part of a thriving commons. WE LOVE PRINTING! Our nerdiness includes your nerdiness. We don’t want to drive groups away by being impossible to please. We don’t want to suffocate people with micromanagement. We are excited and grateful that people want to do awesome stuff at the Omni!!! *In the spirit of shared purpose, we offer our support in resolving all concerns related to the onboarding of CPS.* *==How about two separate proposals?==* *TIL should probably reapply for member-collective status, or consider non-member group status. Does TIL really need a separate voting delegate, if they have a voting voice as part of CPS? * we need to reconcile the different logics, premises, that people are coming from to describe this problem. * still excited to see a manifesto, but frustrated about asking for forgiveness rather than permission. *==Friendly amendment to CPS proposal: Temporary formative period==* * jenny: we all need more time to figure shit out * yar: but we should show them kindness and offer legitimacy while we do figure shit out* * yar says maybe we should consent to a temporary formative period. Along the lines of TIL’s proposed"6 month review" thing, except with lots of loving support and enthusiasm across the 6 months. *==Actual CPS problems to work through==* 1) Clearly articulated community angle that benefits the commons. How does your internal decision making process work? * yar: they taught me a bunch of stuff for free just because i showed up and was excited. Scott vouches for two of the members who are core organizers of the CPS. Laura and (other dude)’s values are perfectly aligned with the OMNI mission. There are people internal to CPS that will actively strive to serve the commons 2) How can each of the printmaking technologies represented serve the commons? what are the advantages and disadvantages of each machine? (List of all machines http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Print_Studio) Lets articulate how each technology can meet real community needs. By courting the community’s interest and presenting a case for all our printing technologies, we can bring in lots of enthusiasm, community involvement, and financial contributions for the community print studio (rent + maintenance + upgrades to equipment, etc). + can we add support for technologies like risograph + xerox for zine-sters, and other HIGHLY populist mediums like linocut/woodblock? (The sudo room already has a digital duplicator with 4 COLOR DRUMS in the basement). Support for these old populist mainstays are ways to court the broader print-making culture that already exists in the bay. Would potentially increase ties with other bay area cultural powerhouses like Rock Paper Scissors and Pens and Needles. + SUDO has discovered reasons to be enthusiastic about letterpress: matt: “It’s actually easy to quickly make a flyer with letterpress. Letterpress can be super useful for the community -- the point is that CPS is still forming and hasn’t articulated a shared vision yet.” And we CAN articulate that vision! E.g. the Sudo room’s CNC machine can cut image plates that can be composed with type for the letterpress, thus incorporating custom embossed images into letterpress printing, which is not only totally badass, but also provides an opportunity for inter-collective collaboration. Omni PR material is going to look soooooo good. 3) Consider space needs and possible alternatives that address noise & ventilation. + Offset press is the really noisy thing, the rest of the equipment can stay where it is. Can we put the offset in one of the offices? It’s so close! Let’s move it to a super optimal location that balances all needs! * yar: most of the empty space in the CPS layout is due to the offset, which needs access on all sides. if we could find another place for just the offset, then everything else could in theory condense into a smaller area. emji & joel were talking about putting it in a library room. so where else could the offset go? if we put it in the middle of sudoroom it'd still take up less space than the robot... * tangents about possible uses of the omnidance space upstairs * jenny: maybe one of the CPS members should bottom-line a working group for scheduling in the basement? 4) decision making structure and how do members relate to one another? * how do we get in touch? is there a printing-press-collective email list?

universal robot gripper

by Jake

so the other night, we made a universal robot gripper using coffee* and a birthday balloon, and the top of a shampoo bottle, and some other stuff. search google for "universal robot gripper" and you'll see what i mean. here are pictures: http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/gripper/ it works decently well, as you can see.. but it could use improvement. I am going to try to add a blower to inflate the balloon a little bit when it's trying to grab something. of course we will put this on the end of the robot arm, so it can pick stuff up. I think we should try again with a larger balloon.. and thicker wouldn't hurt. So if you have a few balloons laying around, preferably thick-skinned and larger than a tennisball when deflated, please bring them to the robot. you can put them on top of the control box, or the robot itself, if i'm not around. Also, if you have a coffee grinder (or know of one at sudoroom) i'd like to use it to grind some coffee more finely than we did with my little one.. when it's not finely ground enough, it's hard for it to re-shape to grab stuff. i'm going to try to use one of those motorized mattress inflators as a pump, but if you have something like that that you think would work, bring it. Especially if it runs off of 120VAC (plugs into the wall) and is not crazy loud. -jake * only decaf coffee was used for this experiment

robot can load AND save files now

by Jake

by running ~/yasnac/src/fakedisk.py on the 3d printer computer, it is now possible to save files from the YASNAC robot controller to the computer's disk. I used this function to save the program which wrote SUDOROOM on a piece of paper. It looks like this: http://spaz.org/~jake/pix/sudoroom-sharpie.jpg here is the program itself: https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/src/SUDOROOM.JBI note that it is text but it's in "DOS" format, which means each line ends with 0x0D 0x0A which is /r/n it needs to be that way to upload it to the YASNAC too, otherwise i have no idea what will happen, it could explode. -jake

Does anyone use ubuntu studio and/or Ardour + JACK? I am making music demos for optikallusion's OMNI fundraiser video. The tracks sound amazing in Ardour, but when I export the track to a .wav file it can't play in any media players... This has sucked a serious amount of productive hours from me and will continue to do so until I will (someday) be released- can anyone help me with this? Back channel me if so!!! Thanks and xo Scott

Sonic.net

by niki

Hey y'all! I know Sudo is currently paying for internet service. I'd like to set up a phone line for the cafe and was wondering if it makes sense for us to simply chip in for the service through Sonic. Thoughts? Love! Niki

Show & tell bad idea Thursday

by Romy＠snowyla

A show & tell would be a bad idea Thursday This requires a lot of quiet - I've chatted quietly not very near the SudoMesh group & was asked to be quiet .. If you have it Thursday its very disruptive unless it's in a completely separate area of the building Sent from my iPhone
