Hi everyone, (You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) 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 (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: Softwear hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (adjacent to sudoroom) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. 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 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is 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 anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: 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

I would say if you are a CIS woman / minority do not join any working groups

by Romy Ilano

That was a great discussion! I love yar’s nuanced view too. But since I am pro woman I would say - if you are a woman, it’s probably best if you do -not- join a working group/committee or volunteer for stuff. You probably also are better off not doing anything related to teaching or education unless you really really want to. What the world needs is more smart women building projects and reaching the alpha states. Women and minorities carrying the unnecessary burden or making the world more diverse through endless committees and consensus and meetings are -not- what the world needs. We already have more than enough of those. Get ye to a room of your own! You do not need to mentor young women or care for kids or teach. Remove yourself from all volunteer and charity committees - these (through religion) are overstaffed with women already. We need -fewer- women doing volunteer work and more women doing raw cool projects to save the world! (I know this viewpoint is controversial but I’d like to make the world a better place =D)

maybe we can do a bunch of tutorials for the common good asynchronously

by romy＠snowyla.com

Since it's hard to meet folks in Person, we are all working from home and stuff, maybe we can all start a bunch of cool online tutorials asynchronously for the community. It always seems to be a demand right? I'm just throwing it out there - maybe someone in the javascript meetup can start it? I found the Bechdel test movie database has a cool online repo https://bechdeltest.com/api/v1/doc

ok NFTs aren't cool anymore... we can talk about them again

by romy＠snowyla.com

ok NFTs aren't cool or making money anymore! we can talk about them again! Just kidding, (actually I'm not), but Jake did make a good point that NFTs aren't ecological. I was involved in the early days of NFT (d'oh) since I live here. I'm interested in jump starting any kind of digital printmaking, online or in person art gallery through SudoRoom for the common good! It's a topic brewing, but whew, thankfully nobody is making money on NFTs anymore.

getting the robot working again

by Jake

the other day when Fitz was there I remembered some of the tricks needed to get our monster Yaskawa robot to work. I made some updates to the wiki. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Giant_robot_arm Here are some pictures: https://spaz.org/~jake/pix/2022-05/robot.html we replaced the battery in the robot arm (behind the connectors in the base, this battery is to preserve memory in the position encoders) and the battery in the computer cabinet (to preserve its configuration memory and "disk" when it's off) but a couple of the position encoders on the arm are not happy and it's doing this: https://spaz.org/~jake/pix/2022-05/20220531_205803.jpg although sometimes it doesn't even get that far. Anyone interested in learning how to get this machine going? I don't want to be the only one who knows -jake
