My totally non-binding intuition is that fire inspection will happen, at the very earliest, on a business day between September 1-5. But I could be wrong. One important detail which I should have mentioned before, is that before starting work we need to submit our plan in writing to the landlord for his approval. In particular, he must approve: * the scope of the work, before ("as-built") and after * the licensed electrician signing off * the cost, as he is paying for 50% We also need to figure out if this work actually requires its own building permit.

Re: [sudo-discuss] 501c documentation request

Whitney I'm so happy you are doing this, thank you! I don't have all the documents but I hope some history will help. There is some info on the wiki here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/FAQ#What.27s_your_legal_structure.3F - starting sometime in 2012, Sudoroom was just some individuals operating with a "DBA". Our bank account and leases were all in their names. - In November 2013 we became a CA Nonprofit with a bare minimum articles of incorporation ( https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Incorporation ) and a board of directors ( https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board ) - In December 2013 we got two grants of around $5k each, from Rackspace and Southern Exposure. - In early 2014 we finally got a credit union account in our name and started depositing our Gittip, checks, etc there. - In June 2014 we signed our Omni lease. IANAL but I think legally this was Sudoroom's first lease. Our previous lease at 2141 was never in the corporation's name as such. For tax filings, I suggest you reach out to our treasurer Max Klein (copied in this email). I know that he filed our taxes for 2013, at least. I dare say there is not much danger of duplicating work, as we have tended thus far to do the bare minimum required and no more. :)

Omni potluck participation

by Sarah Pritchard

Hi there, As you know, the Omni is hosting a community potluck this *Thursday, August 21 from 6 - 8 pm*. As this overlaps with the weekly delegate meeting, we're asking that each collective send as many representatives as possible to cover both events. The potluck is an opportunity to meet our neighbors and fellow community members and introduce them to the Omni! It's important that we make this event as fun and welcoming as possible. Specifically, at 6:30 pm we will make an announcement at the potluck to introduce each member collective and the Omni overall. If possible, we would like to have one person from each collective speak for less than 2 minutes about your mission and why you're excited about participating in the Omni. *Please respond to this email to let me know who from your collective can attend the potluck and would be willing to speak on your behalf.* If you're interested in helping out with the potluck in other ways, check out the CDC meeting notes here: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/08/16_Challenging_Dominant_Cultur… . Feel free to contact me or the Challenging Dominant Cultures working group ( challengingdominantcultures(a)gmail.com) with any questions regarding the potluck. Thanks so much! Sarah

Presence at East Bay Mini Makers Faire Oct 19?

by Glenn Meader

It seems like Sudo Room should have a presence (i.e. a booth/table) at the East Bay Mini Maker Faire in Oakland on Oct 19, 2014 To get a 10x10 space, an on-line application must be submitted before Sept 8. Here's the details: http://ebmakerfaire.wordpress.com/callformakers/ I'd be willing to help set this up and staff the booth.

Electrical detail draft

by Whitney Lawrence

Jake, I understand you are the Lead for the electric install. Please look at the attached .pdf, I made a first pass on the locations of outlets. I think we should use the 3 free breaker spaces in the Balcony breaker box, in addition to the abandoned "marquee" breaker. Looking at the front of the Sub-panel above the stage it looks like the plan is to power the robot arm directly from there, with a 30A breaker. Also we need to figure out the plan for the conduit runs after the outlet type and locations are finalized. We will need volunteers to help with prepping the space for install (moving shelving etc away from walls), and for doing the installation. Let me know what else I can do to get power to the people! The draft should be reviewed by everyone to be sure we are planning for all needs. For example- what are the immediate power needs for the server? Can we build in the potential for up-sizing? Similarly for the robot arm- where will it be located? It requires 3phase 240 correct? Thanks, Whit

Drill press has faulty wiring

by Torrie Fischer

The drill press speed controller has some faulty wiring. I got zapped by it today, though after having used it for quite some time. I have made note of this with affixing a sign to the press and locking out the plug with a zip- tie. I will be picking up an AC outlet tester ASAP to sort out what is amiss unless someone else can figure it out or locate one before I anticipate returning on Wednesday.

Fwd: Invitation to Maker Carnival in Beijing

Hello, I received an invitation to the Maker Carnival in Beijing, which takes place at the beginning of October.

domestic resources?

by Pete Forsyth

Hi, I hope this message is OK for the list -- I feel there's probably a lot of relevant knowledge in this community. I have a friend -- not a close friend, but somebody I care about and trust -- who is needing to leave her home due to a volatile situation with her boyfriend, very suddenly. She is OK for tonight, but she said she has contacted some shelters and has been put on a wait list, and is not sure what she can expect. If anybody knows of good resources, or just has any words of advice, please send them to me off list. I don't have much experience with something like this -- I think she is very isolated here, her family is very far away, and I want to at least point her in a good direction. Many thanks for any help. Pete

my photos from last night's party

by Mitch Altman

Hey Everyone, Great party last night!! Lots of really cool people showed up, including a bunch from Sudo Room. Thanks for coming! There was lots of great food, drinks, fantastic music, and dancing! I'm told we raised about $1,400! And Marcel got one of our 3D printers to print during the party -- and printed out our logo. :) Naomi took that photo. Here's a link to the photos I took at the party last night: https://www.flickr.com/photos/maltman23/sets/72157646118444548/ BTW, our IndieGoGo campaign is now above $16,000, with 10 days remaining. But we still need to spread the word so we can raise enough funds to pay our electrician and pay IndieGoGo. So, please spread the word! Best, Mitch.

robot revealation

by Jake

http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/trip_over_cables.png okay so we really really almost got the robot working tonight we replaced the memory battery, and temporarily disconnected the other memory battery and then initialized its brains.. and now it seems ready to turn on and move! but when you press SERVO ON it tries to turn on the motors, and then says there's an error. I think it's because we don't have three-phase power for it. But i believe we can simulate the signal of a third phase for the circuitry, so that it will think that everything is OK, and then it will act normally. in the meantime, i discovered a treasure trove of documentation. If you were asking before how to operate this thing (once it's functional) here's the answer: read these PDFs. http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ -jake

Hello everyone, I posted this event on Introduction to Javascript today: https://sudoroom.org/events/intro-to-javascript/ This is intended for beginners but all skill levels are welcome. I know for me initially learning to program was a bit daunting. There are lots of technologies and programming languages out there. It can be hard to figure out what to learn. Through this series it would be cool to get people on a track of learning how to learn programming. Open to everyone, totally free, 6pm today Connor questions: 415-717-5557

SudoRoom Visit.

by Samir Faci

HI all, I just joined the mailing list not too long ago. I was going to stop by over the weekend to checkout the space and meet whoever is lurking around. I just wanted to see if there was any trick to getting in. Noisebridge has that quirky phone that never seems to work. Also, I'm a tech/linux enthusiast/developer/foss hippy that moved to the bay area a few years ago. Would love to get more involved especially as I'm debating moving to Oakland at some point in the foreseeable future. -- Thank you Samir Faci

501c documentation request

by Whitney Lawrence

Hello, I'll be spearheading the 501c(3) efforts. I am going to need all the documents related to Sudo, tax documents, official filings to date, list of assets and liabilities (COH/ recent bank statement, lease, etc.) Additionally, to avoid re-doing work already done, I want to hear about any and all efforts related to acquiring 501c(3) status. My goal is to have an initial draft of our application prepared for members review by the middle/end of October 2014. Hopefully we can submit our finalized application before the holiday season. I look forward to working toward this important goal but I can't help without input from our more seasoned members. Please contact me with documentation, suggestions, experiences yada yada yada. -Whit

Re: [sudo-discuss] Electrician to install

by Whitney Lawrence

Noob post, let me know if I'm not formatting properly or otherwise screwing this up. I have experience doing this type of install, I am not licensed. I think $400 is a fantastically cheep deal (labor and materials), however, I will need to discuss to be sure I have a handle on the scope of what Sudo wants. I am available this weekend to work on the install and am totally wiling to follow someone else's lead. We can borrow condi benders from the tool library up the street (tele @51st), they might even have a pull-tape which we will need. Lets talk to coordinate material lists, tools, and meeting time. I would suggest opting for quad plugs rather than duals, metal boxes w/ metal faces and individual wire spools for the the pulls (14awg white, blk and green). We need to make drawings of where the outlets will be & where we will access power. This is important because we may need to put in junction boxes for long runs and/or increase the condi size over 1/2 inch, and we are likely installing new 20A braker(s). Lastly, who will be signing off on the work prior to making it HOT? you can reach me at 510.396.5510 Thanks, Whitney

electrician to install outlets

by Jake

I contacted an electrician who did work at my workplace a while ago, and asked about our situation (specifically at sudoroom) he charges $45 per hour and can provide a proper invoice, however he is not a "C10" certifiable electrician. But the work he would do would satisfy a C10 (such as the one he knows) if we were to hire one to "sign off" on stuff. Unless someone on one of these lists has a conduit bender and enjoys running pipe and installing outlets (while following all obscure rules), I think we should hire Taylor to install outlets in sudoroom (and wherever else they are needed) I volunteered to be his helper, working (and managing other volunteers) to help the job go as quickly as possible, thus saving money and his time. But I would need approval from whatever group would be paying for his labor, and the materials that we will need to do the job. my guess is that the job will cost $400 including materials, but i have never done a job like this before so it is only a guess. My notes are here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fgw5himtlmemiXReP-fG6rP-I2RoXsSP_MA… thank you -jake

voice tech event in San Leandro

by J Clark

Hi Sudoers, Wanted to invite you to an event that I'm hosting on Thursday eve: *Intelligent Assistance and Trusted Conversations* http://sl-co.com/intelligent-assistance-and-trusted-conversations/ Thursday 14 August, 6:30pm to 8pm The speaker, Dan Miller, is an analyst with Opus Research (not selling anything). In light of all the news about voice, AI, and biometrics being used to "save you from passwords" or identify you by your walk and movement, or extend Siri to actually check your calendar AND book a reservation in the same request... there's a lot of intriguing technology in this field. If you use a phone, you're part of it. The talk is free. judi -- *San Leandro Coworking* 400 Estudillo Ave., #204 San Leandro, CA 94577 +1-510-398-4000 http://sl-co.com

Re: [sudo-discuss] Cat6 Donation, should I take it? (Punch Down Tool Needed)

SUPER-THANKS to 'Kare Raisu' for bringing the punch down tool and helping with the first patch panel!

Head for the hills

by Ed Biow

Greetings comrades, cronies, & contemporaries, As I may have intimated, I'm spending the moeity of the month of August canoe camping on our favorite lake in the Sierras, Utica Reservoir. <http://www.ebiow.yasashi.net/images/UTICA/> It is really lovely here, about 3.5 hours from Oakland at about 7,000 feet, great swimming and hiking, and since this is dispersed camping, you don't have to pay fees, listen to generators or suck SUV fumes. Anywho, I schlepped along a metric buttload of extra gear, so if you feel so inclined, please come on up. I have 3 extra tents, 5 sleeping bags, pads, plates, utensils, stoves, tables, chairs, cooking gear, the whole magila, so you only need to bring your clothes and any food you might want to consume (I'll have plenty of rice and beans, but few other goodies). I'll be here until August 30th because I have a funeral in Watsonville on the 31st. August 2014 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 The problem is where I'm camping is not immediately obvious if you haven't been here before (which many of you have). I'm at Point Edmund, to those who have been here, our favorite spot. And even many of you who have been here do not remember the specific directions well. So best is if you can hook up with my first wife Kathy, who is coming up Friday the 15th at about 1 PM and Thursday the 21st at roughly 5:30 PM. She'll be returning Sundays. She has room for 1 or 2 extra folks on the 15th & maybe 1 on the 21st, but you can caravan with her and she can lead folks to the spot. You can call her on her cell phone at 510-326-9328 or try our home phone at 510-763-0591. Or you can try to hook up with one of the people who has been here before and of course, if you know the way, feel free to come by whenever you want. If there is enough interest I might also go back to the hills in mid-September for a stretch, about the same time as the infamous Occupy Utica <http://www.ebiow.yasashi.net/videos/OccupyUticaLake_2013.avi> escapade last year. The hopes of the free (or at least the very cheap) world go with you, Ed PS: I don't have internet up here and will only be scanning my email periodically from a nearby internet cafe. Those of you with deep pockets and ATT phone service can get reception here. Kathleen is not an internet afficiando. Her schedule is fairly rigid, so if you wish to join her you should be at Slothaven on time.

3D Printing Repair

by Matt Elkins

Hey guys. My name is Matt. I don't know if this message went through last time, so I am sending it again, and sorry if you are seeing this twice I have a Ultimaker v1 that needs a heated bed added to it ( have the parts except relay) and the axis' realigned. Simple stuff but I am not mechanically inclined enough to know what strength relay I need, or know how to solder and wire things. If you know how to build a 3D printer, and are confident that you can handle this task, get in touch through this email deal-e-o and lets talk. I can get you some money in exchange for your services of course. Or maybe some prints!

Meeting Notes 8/6

by Jenny Ryan

Apologies for the delay. Meeting notes from this week! tl;dr: ANNOUNCEMENTS: - Sudo sponsoring event with Critical Resistance on September 20th w/ Cece McDonald - Startup weekend Sept 12-14 - 50% discount codes - talk to Brendan... or just use 'sudoroom'. Free food! $25! - Next Newbie Night: Wednesday, August 13th, 5-8pm hosted by Juul & Jake! NEW MEMBERS! ...up for 'extended pondering' this week. Please reply if you have any objection to these new members! - Timothy - Why do you want to be a member? Likes working with other people, would be nice to work here - What are you excited to do at sudo room? Hacking on his own stuff, open source, perhaps collaborators? - What do you hope to share with Sudo Room? Pair programming, sudo web infrastructure, doesn't do php really (mostly ruby) - Hasn't been banned from a hackerspace! - Boyd - Why do you want to be a member? I like this new movement for hacktivism around the world and making things that already exist work better. - What are you excited to do at sudo room? I'm not very good with code, but I think it'd be cool if I was. Found out about sudo from Andrew/backspace, used to come to the leather workshop. Moved close by, interested in the mesh. Scarred by previous Comcast employment. Democratizing internet access. Likes climbing and being handy - What do you hope to share with Sudo Room? Sharing excitement and enthusiasm. - Has not been kicked out of a hackerspace, that they know of. - Grew up in the midwest. Cops were nice there and gave you ice cream for wearing your bike helmet. - Really wants to see the robot do cool things. CONFLICT RESOLUTION: (via Hol): 1. No conclusive evidence found to support accusation based on review of available info over 2 weeks. Whatever we do now sets the precedent for future cases - person who brought the matter up (daniel) is OK to allow Phil back in. Felt it was his duty to speak up since the concern had not been proactively addressed by Phil. 2. Further research continues as to nature of threat to privacy and risk of disruption from outside groups with ill intentions. Sudoers interested in the topic of entities related to this accusation, particularly the DAC, should feel free to get in touch and assist with research. 3. Consensus is a process susceptible to disruption. We should think about cases when it is better to fork into parallel paths to avoid gridlock, and consider ways to amend our policies to become structurally hardened against this type of attack. In some cases, it may seem that consensus on an item has been reached when discussion is still warranted, and dissenting views may trigger accusations of intentional disruption. People may have conflicting views or different approaches socially, legally, etc. Emphasize respect for different points of view while keeping an eye out for intentional disruption. Need to be able to handle and attenuate disruption whether intentional or unintentional.

thermal conductivity question

by Jake

can someone help me understand the unit W/m.K it's a measurement of thermal conductivity of a material. I don't really understand. I get W/K or K/W but i don't understand where the meter comes in. For a flat material of a specified thickness, i would understand watts per degree per square meter, but i don't get the single meter thing. here is an example: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001122759700146X how does that measurement work?

Hardware for the masses

by Ed Biow

As some of you have noticed I can be flakier then a lethal case of psoriasis, but I've finally got a couple of images ready to muck with those 50 or so machines that are providing cover for the rats' nest right now. Unfortunately, I'm planning on leaving town for a few weeks to go camping so I won't be able to show folks how I'd like to process the buggers. But I have actually typed up a set of instructions if folks can't be bothered to await my second coming. I took one of the dual core machines, installed Kubuntu 14.04, imaged it and then set it up as a local server. It is over towards the computer hardware wall on one of the tables, ready for enterprising folks to have at. It is a boxy Dell a wifi PCI card so it can get the internet and its ethernet is configured to provide a connection of other boxes through a little switch. The machine (whose hostname is Spartacus) is also attached to a KVM switch so it can share its monitor, keyboard and mouse with up to 3 other machines that are being worked on. There is a black button to control which machine has the KVM's attention at the moment. So Spartacus is configured with a number of services. 1. Apache web server which has the incomplete instructions about how to image the new boxes (there is also a crumpled piece of paper there with some of the instructions). 2. Samba file server to host the images, one for the old Dells under the server rack (40 GB hard drives) and the other for the somewhat newer dual core machines near the 3D printer. 3. Approx, a deb installation file caching proxy, so you can quickly download and install Debian and Ubuntu packages instead of downloading them afresh for each machine. When I have time when I get back I'll put the approx cache on an encrypted partition so it will be harder to muck with. I'll also use the machine to host Linux & BSD distro isos. I'll also include instructions about how to use approx for your personal machines with a few easily-to-follow instructions. I put all that stuff at sudoroom, but wasn't able to totally finish the instructions when I was there. But I mailed an updated "index.html" file and an updated installation script to an account that I set up on Spartacus and its clones, sudoroomie(a)gmail.com. If some helpful person wants they can open Thunderbird, download the 2 files and put up them in /var/www/html. You'll have to sudo to get them there, that directory is owned by root. Anywho, the upshot is, boot up Spartacus, hook up a machine you wish to image, then follow the directions on Spartacus (use a web browser to go to http://localhost). You can use the live CDs or the 256MB USB stick I left there to install the image. When I get back I'll make another install image or two for Debian testing and maybe a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 image, as well. The instructions are annoyingly long and don't cover many of the cases that will undoubtedly emerge. If & when I get back in September I plan to start hosting a regular Friday afternoon/evening Linux InstallFest where folks can come to get Linux help, share tips, get access to installation media, and perhaps eat some warmish pizza when I get back from my weekly donation run at 9PM. If you want to install Linux on the machines without my image server there are a bunch of DVDs in a Microsoft Developer kit binder over on hardware wall. But if you don't want to place the box in a home somewhere, please label the sucker appropriately so people who want to use them know what they are getting in to. Also, this should go without typing, please leave my KVM switch, ethernet switch & USB stick more or less where they are, or at least tell me where they have been moved. If any of you are at loose ends this month feel free to join me dispersed canoe camping <https://www.google.com/images?q=Utica%20Reservoir&sa=N&tab=wi&gws_rd=ssl> about 3.5 hours from here in the National Forest in the Sierras. My first (and so far only) wife Kathy will be driving up on Thursday or Friday nights so you can get a ride with her or at least have her show you how to get there. We'll have a couple of extra tents and a few bags & pads and have extra chairs, plates, etc., so you just need to bring your food, grog & clothes (provided the camping gear isn't otherwise spoken for that weakend). I'm hoping I'll be able to get intermittent Internet access at the coffee shop in Bear Valley, about 3 steep miles away. Anywho, my home number is 510-763-0591. The phone is even dumber then I am so you'll have to leave a call-back number loudly and clearly on our 20 year old $5 answering machine. If I'm spared I'll be back in early September. e On 07/30/2014 09:42 PM, Marina Kukso wrote: > Hi Ed, > > Just a quick ping (with a few other interested parties copied) > regarding the status of the computers and what we can do to help!

Fwd: Red Light Legal Collective Application

by yar

Another group has applied to be a member of the Omni Oakland Collective. Their name is Red Light Legal, a legal firm that represents and advocates for sex workers. One of them, Matt Kellegrew, has also done a lot of legal work for the Omni. They are asking for 500sqft of locked office space and want to pay $400/mo now, with the hope of increasing that later if they get funded. I've forwarded their full application below. If someone wants to put that in a more accessible format like a wiki page, feel free. Please share any thoughts you may have. Sorry we forgot to mention this yesterday. It's going to be discussed at tonight's omni delegates meeting.

CHECK YOUR GITTIP ACCOUNT!!

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers, Gittip, our primary funding mechanism, doesn't notify you when your credit card fails to process. This has been happening with increasing regularity over the past two months (we're now at $338.40/wk, and not long ago we had tipped $500!). I signed in today and my card had been rejected, so I had to reenter my info. Go here and sign in to check: https://www.gittip.com/credit-card.html Sudo is not rich. We are losing money. I'll be working on setting up alternative donation options this week. Send me suggestions if you have them! ~!~ Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

by Liberty Madison

I know many people on this list have deep Oakland ties, so I wanted to be sure you knew that Oakland is hosting the *National Poetry Slam* for the first time in over 20 years. Sudo along side the Bay Area Public school have been a huge supporter of the arts and especially poetry. People have flown in from all over the country to be in Oakland. Many of them have never been to California or The Bay Area. This is their first experience with the city you hold dear. If you see one of the 500 poets please welcome them to the Bay! Many have excellent ideas and vision, it may be a great way to spread whatever project or message you are working on Here is the Press Release - They are not sold out as of this email http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs190/1102722493986/archive/111798197748… Hope you enjoy it! @libertymadison
