I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer
driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle
parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each
once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to
attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people!
- the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of
the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open!…
[View More] lots of
taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side
san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate
- the east bay bike party (which is this friday)!
https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/
- the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super
interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and
start messing around with cool designs.
- there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay
richmond) at this event
- multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of
opportunities to play with mobile light projections
- the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to
think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf
the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile
light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the
evening it will be fun

Chatting with Noisebridge - They're having their stupid hackathon in April
(4/1-3 ) and there's going to be a lot of fun!
https://www.noisebridge.net/images/5/51/NB14posterV4.jpg
They're interested in doing light projection mapping for the Noisebridge
event, but also showing SudoRoom history and fundraising as well. I can
imagine so many cool ways to use light projection mappings with artists at
this party!

I got a lot of help from sudoroom members with the light projection mapping
ideas. Also from Noisebridge!
So far a lot of stuff online is people using really nice larger projectors,
and there's a lot of great sophistication with mapping beforehand,
especially in Blender, etc.
But after chatting with folks, I'm taking the route first with small
handheld laser projectors that hook up easily to smartphones and tablets or
can take SD cards.
The small projectors have been a good choice to get …
[View More]people excited. It's a
lot more spontaneous. THere's just something about hooking up a laptop to a
huge projector, being stuck at the back of room etc., but with the hand
held projectors I can go anywhere and manipulate the images manually
without having to make fancy graphics and videos
- Marc discussed mounting the projectors onto bicycles - both projectors
have mounts or have threaded quarter inch? inserts common to cameras, and
I'm fairly confident I can put them on my goPro style mounts with some
work. Aiming maybe for the next East Bay Bike Party which is March 11
(Friday night) - oh ya marc I still have your camera mount on wood for the
stand will bring it back Sunday or Tuesday is that OK!
- Carl G from SudoRoom has some projects he made for pixel art - we
projected onto the movable walls in the sudoroom ballroom. Since it was so
dark we were able to get a decent size (the walls) and there was a lot of
energy and excitement!

Even nicer, I have been trying to get my regular cartoonist drawing group
that meets wednesdays to get involved and even hang out at SudoRoom and
omnicommons. They're just very clever and focus a lot on animation and
cartoons! I finanlly got the projector working and was projecting Brian
Kolm's crazy cat onto the wall, a bowl and on a spinning lazy susan.

Even in he brightly lit movie theater (new parkway) the cartoonists got
realy excited!

A lot of people are really into Hayao Miyazaki and theme park rides. I mean
we aren't going to attempt this yet without asking, but what is the next
step from immersive light projection rooms in the Omni Commons Ballroom?
Imagine a guided ride in a wheeled cart right? wouldn't that be super fun?
Hmmm!!!!!

Hey Sudo. Here're the minutes from tonight's meeting, along with the TL;DR:
https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommeeting-keep
Reopening
After some quieter months, Sudo's getting more active. Reopening isn't
going to entail any single change, just a continuation of the recent bloom
in activity. Expect to see more events, more communication on social media,
and more new faces.
(Social media links here: https://twitter.com/sudoroom/https://www.instagram.com/sudohuman/)
Clean-up
This too is …
[View More]gradual, but Mark would like to hold a cleaning day on Sunday,
March 13th from 1 PM onward. If you're eager to clear some space for a
project or decorate a bit, don't be shy: step up and offer to help Mark on
the 13th. Alternatively, be the change you wanna see. Jake hauled off
hundreds of pounds of Ewaste this week. He can give you the address if
anyone else wants to do the same.

Thinking about projects in micro mobility and change management for Americans. How do we get people who drive cars to walk as much as people who take subways? Make safer biking paths? Remove easy parking and encourage car drivers to park and walk or take a bike share
Most people don’t want to live in strip mall friendly places anymore
Along with light protection mapping this is another cool topic of my time at SudoRoom!!
