I've got an old Leader LBO-325 scope, 60mhz, dual channel, nice and portable in a field case, with a 1x/10x probe.
I think it is from the 1990s. There are manuals online.
It works, though the focus doesn't, the trace is fuzzy. Probably needs a pot cleaned or maybe replaced.
Don't need it anymore, so if sudoroom or anyone wants it, let me know, it's yours.
Hello,
I'm a one-man shop in the peninsula and I desperately need to use a
laser cutter for my work for a couple of hours. Like everybody, I'm in a
very tough spot.
I have been trained and I have used the Noisebridge laser cutter a few
times but it's offline for three months now (security + covid + move).
HackerDojo is offline too. I have been using laser cutters for 15 years
(early days of Techshop).
Is it possible to access and use the Sudo Room laser cutter - one time?
If you have any information regarding this request, you can reply to
this email or contact me privately. Thank you in advance,
Grégoire
Hi all,
Is there an open source tool or KiCad plugin that'll convert
a KiCad PCB file to whatever format Seeeed Fucion wants?
I found Osh Park super easy to work with as they have a nice
web gooey to do this and can accept KiCad PCB files.
Seeeed Fusion, however, has instructions on exporting Gerber
files manually, which I followed, but which their system
did not accept. It seems like the kind of conversion that
could be automated away with some software.
Googled around, didn't find anything.
If you know of something that does, this, I'd like to use it.
Thanks.
Greetings Sudo et al, I'm so sorry but I have to bring to your attention a
recent, very unfortunate, inappropriate, and violent encounter a friend of
mine, Deon Saunders, had with a guy named "Rob", who I don't think I know
personally, although I'm sure he's well known around Omni in general. I
don't believe he's a sudo member specifically, but I believe this incident
sort of came into Sudo territory when Marc became involved; I also really
respect and love what Sudo room provides to the community, and I know that
Sudo is a powerful force within the Omni; as such, I'm writing to you all
now because I believe this issue definitely needs to be dealt with, and not
ignored or brushed aside.
Basically, Deon is friends with Phat Beets and Food First, and has been
frequenting the Omni in order to do work and access the community resources
that are available. To my understanding, he often works in the Sudo room
space. Although this should not need to be said, I can personally vouch for
Deon as an upstanding and generous member of the Oakland community.
Deon was having trouble accessing the space the other day and rung the Omni
doorbell several times, at which point guy named Rob opened the door and
started cursing at him and being very aggressive. After Deon was able to
enter Omni, Rob then started following him around and harassing him, acting
like a cop. Although this is egregious in and of itself, and a terrible
counter-representation of the Omni's values, this all came to a head when
Rob accused Deon of not being "an actual, normal, human being". Whether or
not this was intentional, it evoked longstanding racist attitudes that
black folks have been subjected to, suggesting that Deon was less-than, or
sub-human. Deon was so offended that he promptly left the Omni and has not
been back since.
Besides this very loaded and hateful comment, this general kind of
treatment and attitude, overall, is the EXACT opposite of the way black
folks should be treated when interfacing with the Omni. Rob's actions are
not okay, at all, and I strongly feel that a serious accountability process
should be implemented for this incident. This is not a small matter. I've
spoken with Deon, and he has agreed to participate.
I've also heard that this type of incident has happened before at the Omni,
specifically involving Rob. Correct me if I'm wrong, but apparently, the
attitude that was expressed to Deon was that Rob is one of the main people
that operates (i.e. helps to reproduce and sustain,) the Omni, and as such,
people basically go along with what he says and does. If this is in fact
the case, then an accountability process is even more imperative. In no way
should labor, and by proxy, "power" derived from labor, enable a person to
act with racism against members of the Oakland community. I think it's in
the best interest of the Omni to address this issue immediately, for Deon,
for the Omni, and for the Omni's relationship with the greater community of
Oakland.
I believe Marc was present for part of this incident as well, and although
I know, Marc is so busy doing vital work for Sudo and Omni, it might
behoove him to also participate in this process, as a witness.
I am writing this email not because I am trying to "cancel" or ruin anyone,
but because I care about Deon, The Omni, Sudo, and the Oakland community at
large. This issue seems indicative of larger problems, and if addressed
with love and respect and accountability, could seriously benefit all
parties listed above, and improve the Omni and it's relationship with
Oakland.
I'm not sure where to take it from here, as I am personally extremely busy
with other community-based activities in Oakland right now, but a
mediator/facilitator should be sought out, ideally a black person, but at
the very least, a non-black poc, and probably someone that isn't personally
involved in the day-to-day operations at Omni, sudo etc. If i am able, I
could possibly be this mediator, but I hope other options are sought out
first, because a.) I'm a non-black, mixed race poc, and b.) I have very
little capacity at the moment.
But please keep me in the loop regarding an accountability process for Rob,
and I'll do whatever I can to help move this along and reach a fair and
just conclusion.
Sorry to bring such difficult news to you all, but I could not stay silent.
With love and Solidarity,
Scott
I said "your 'community' space," but honestly, I still want this to be my
space, too. I hardly ever make a fuss about any of this stuff because it's
all so futile, you know? but in this case, I really want to make my point
clear: I think we should rescind our action against Rannette. I think
she's been treated unfairly. Even if she is "aggressive" towards you or
your compatriots, I don't think we need white dudes policing our space of
black women's bodies. Matt, you claim to have acted in another's interest
and you offer an injured third party -- let them speak for themselves,
because I don't think it's your place right now. If there was a violent
incident that threatened our space, let's hear it from a witness or an
involved party. "Something Happened" is not good enough. Otherwise "but
above all the Omni
Commons must maintain a safe, welcoming environment" seems to fly directly
in the face of the lived experience of too many black people.
Heads up.

Subject: [Friends of Awe] $10k grants for creative action against voter
suppression
To: <SF-awesome-friends(a)googlegroups.com>
Hi folks,
There are grants available (up to $10k) for creative projects to fight
voter suppression. From an associate:
*“Please tell people and orgs you work with who are in the creative
activism game. *Or anyone who could come up with a creative, effective
project to address the crazy voter problems that are happening all over the
country.
*We’re having an info session online at noon EST on Monday, Aug 31. *Zoom
link
<https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83821567961?pwd=L2JaWFE4MGg4b1lIWEtoZkcydVVQdz09>
.
If you’re interested but don’t have a solid idea yet, do come. We’re
looking to share and brainstorm together.
Here’s a page with more info, and how to apply. We’re asking for *short
letters of interest by Sept 2*. Quick turnaround time, but, we want to get
these projects funded asap!
https://c4aa.org/2020/08/were-funding-creative-u-s-election-projects
We’re looking for creative projects that address the biggest voter
suppression problems, like:
- Lack of poll workers.
- Barriers to voting by mail - lack of voter education on the logistics of
voting during COVID, misinformation, disinformation.
- Voting safely in a pandemic - how can we help people assess the real
risk, minimize it, and/or quell uneeded fears that may stop them from voting
- Outright voter suppression tactics, especially in Black and Indigenous
communities and in communities of other underrepresented groups.
- Preparing people for what happens *after*voting - polling indicates half
the country may not trust the outcome for various reasons. Lawsuits,
challenges, contested elections, and lots of tension are expected.
*To combat them, we need artistic and creative projects that aim to:*
- Keep polling places staffed.
- Ensure that people understand how to effectively vote by mail, drop-off,
or in person.
- Empower people to confidently vote down-ballot in local elections
- Ensure that people know that voting is relevant to the issues that
motivated so many people on the streets in the past months (and years)
- Monitor election boards and hold them accountable, so they can’t, for
example, quietly close polls in communities of color.
- Cultivate engagement, fun, humor, joy, and community around voting and
elections.
- Prepare people for the unknowns that will come after November.
The focus is on states with a history of voter suppression and of special
interest in this election: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan,
Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, but
others as well.
If you know of projects or people who might be a good fit, please let them
know. We’re excited to be able to fund great projects at this critical
time.”
