video light projection project - a side branch would be to discuss different video standards and the history of the industry?

by Romy Ilano

I was at Noisebridge recently pondering if I'll participate in the Noisebridge anniversary party with the light projections. We have a big old light projector - I'm trying to figure out if something is worth doing that makes sense, I think the entire experimentation aspect would be the most fun part of it! https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51941087886/in/dateposted/ Anyway I hung out with some cool people from Boston (we really need to connect with New England more) and we started discussing the history of light projectors and all the different standards. I also use a discontinued light projector that is one of the best of its kind in the small range, but it was stopped because I guess the price point was too high, the software sucked (it's a Korean company SK Telecom , why do they often make the best hardware but the worst software? quite tragic. maybe ux and software engineering is undervalued at large engineering companies all over the world????) Thought that this would be a good side discussion on different video standards. - why did some standards fail - why did some standards succeed - which products were great but became (maybe unfairly) failed products due to market timing, evil forces (monopolies bad software) I guess this would go under a general computer history talk at sudoroom some evenings ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight!

by Jake

Hi everyone, NOTE: watch out for traffic and parking! there is an event happening today and Telegraph will be blocked off from 40th street through 51st street for Taste Of Temescal (ew) https://temescaldistrict.org/tasteoftemescal/ SO IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO DRIVE, GET READY FOR AN ADVENTURE LOOKING FOR PARKING IF YOU CAN EVEN GET TO THE OMNI... you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you need to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake PS Photos from last week!!!!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/sEcqGmnP28TqGBcu8

next hardware hacking Tuesday - vision board madness

by Romy Ilano

OK for the next tuesday I'm going to create a full on vision board of my projects so far at sudoroom and noisebridge - what am i doing and what do i want to accomplish? - What have i learned so far? - what projects will i focus on for the future? I am having so much fun with the light projection mapping projects, half the fun is just messing around and being way more spontaneous than is usually possible in an art project https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/51965423838/in/dateposted/ I think my big goal is to create something finished that can be filmed that will get other people excited to create and to use sudoroom equipment ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Scraping paint off windows

by Marc Juul

Hi sudoers! We had an unfortunate incident with the new protective coating on our roof where the roof windows got coated as well. It's some latex type substance and CCL tells us it isn't too difficult to get off. Is anyone up for helping with a couple of hours of scraping tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 pm to 5 pm? I'll bring scrapers and we'll lay down some 2x4s across the windows so people be in danger of falling through the glass. -- marc/juul

email lists wiki page

by Jake

hey i noticed that the "# of subscribers" and "newest message date" fields on this wiki page are not updating: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Email_Lists does anyone know how to fix this? Also, it would be nice if we could add a feature where it would show which lists are private versus public, and maybe even an archive link :) I'm trying to introduce new people to the Omni and I want to give them context to our mailinglists. thank you -jake
