Hi everyone,
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:

and if you need to make a one-time donation, you can go here:

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!

So at this stage I sent out plans to cool artists
The Omni ballroom is ideal for light projection room environments

Just sharing some plans!these would be ideal for pepppe to take selfies in similar to a museum and I’m wondering how to figure audio into this
What’s really nice is that while there are commercial free ish mobile phone apps for distorting the projectors for these light projections it’s not too difficult to build our own !
These rooms could rotate and have stories and be immersive plays or informational stuff and even gasp educational 😎

ROBOT BUILD NIGHTS ARE BACK!!
Monthly Robotics Build Night from 5:30pm Friday evening at Circuit Launch.
Join us virtually or in-person
Over the course of the year we fell in love with collaborative work sessions
with mixed in-person and virtual peeps! Point a webcam at your workbench or
stream your screen, come work on projects with us wherever you are in the
world! Join our Discord Server (https://discord.gg/dx2PYa5gPY) if you want to
attend virtually.
Bring a project or discover one here!
We provide the space, tools and peer learning - you bring your project and
awesomeness!
Equipment use outside of the soldering and debugging gear requires
certification.
U18s welcome with a participating adult.
Fixit Clinic: Repair projects are also welcome and encouraged
Peter Mui from Fixit Clinic (https://fixitclinic.blogspot.com/) will be on
hand. Bring your broken, non-functioning things – electronic gadgets,
appliances, computers, toys, sewing machines, fabric items, etc.– for
assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll be available for
consultation on broken items with workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to
help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. First-time repairers and
“Fixing Families” are heartily encouraged to attend.
We also have a full Sewing Lab and our mentor CC will be there to help if you
have a project that needs some stitching, as well as her vast sewing machine
repair and maintenance experience.
Looking forward to seeing you in the Lab!

I think basically there is no such thing as radio shack or the weird stuff
warehouse in sunnyvale anymore. everything is online except for weird
holdouts like the SudoRoom hardware hack night.
so now a blog post about that! it's just nice to be tactile and talk in
person. It's like going to a library . imagine how horrible it would be if
there were only ebooks and no more physical books!

Going forward, I'm going to anthropormorphize the heck out of all our cool
equipment! The silver screen is named Fabian, and the light projector is
named Homer.
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping#Equipment
I think I'm going to do a series of interviews where I talk to each
equipment piece and ask them about their lives, their power equipment and
how we can connect to them and do weird projects.
And then a "person on the street" type deal where I interview various
SudoRoom members and ask them what cool things we could do with each piece!
Anyway Fabian the silver screen is totally silver! and according to Jake we
can do real 3D movie son him!

Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help!
I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool!
https://flic.kr/p/2n7GRgThttps://flic.kr/p/2n7FkGd
^^^
So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested.
The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!
