Hey everyone,
How was last night's meeting? I wanted to declare my intent to join and
discuss ways I can get started volunteering on any ongoing projects, but I
didn't get on until after it ended. So I'll drop my info here so everyone
can look it over before next week's meeting.
First, here's my new sudohumans profile:
https://humans.sudoroom.org/~andrewrgross
*Declaration of Intent to Join*
*Who I am*
My name is Andrew R Gross ("R" is my full middle name) and I'm a
politically conscious hacker and maker who just moved to Oakland from Los
Angeles.
*Why I want to join*
I'm looking for many things that I've gotten from previous experiences with
makerspaces: companionship; a rich well of technical expertise from which
to learn and contribute; an organizing structure in which to effectively
execute complex projects; and access to tools.
*What I'm excited to do*
I'm excited to use the laser cutter and the 6-axis arm, as well as to be a
part of something I have the power to improve through my volunteership.
*What I'm excited to share*
What I'd like to share is my time and my energy, as well as my unique
perspective (unique in the sense that we're all unique: my perspective
isn't uniquely valuable relative to anyone else's). I like to clean and to
organize group projects. I like to pay forward to others the good vibes and
support I've been fortunate to receive.

Anyone interested in getting to know me should contact CRASHSpace
hackerspace in LA <https://blog.crashspace.org/>, where I've been an active
member in good standing for a while. You can send an email to the general
mailbox <https://blog.crashspace.org/contact/> or just drop into the email

OK I'm just starting the inkling of doing cool stuff with light
projections. Got tons of assistance from Ian with a stronger projector - I
actually just enjoyed pointing the projector manually versus making
something overly involved in Blender (Blender is not very intuitive and I
think even when i know all the keystrokes it would be hard to have the same
spirit)

I think I want to go all in on Blender (maybe i"m just lazy and hate
pointing and clicking) but also draw on other art forms like indonesian
puppets
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang
We also checked out the sudoroom ballroom and there are a lot of ways to
create an immersive room because there are galleries with movable walls.
I'm pretty excited! i also bought my own mini projector... imagining a
whole fleet of artists with their own mini projectors running around
projecting on canvases, just creating this little world with all their
art 😎

OK so I'm thinking about this projection mapping project, where I project
cartoons and other art from a portable projector onto 3D models / forms /
mannequins.
Started a wiki page! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping
--
We have very good quality (relatively) visual projectors at both
Noisebridge and Sudoroom
However, I'm wondering if I should invest in a cheapie projector because
that would give me more mobility. Then I could projection map at
skateparks, he omni commons, and have more than one projector projecting
around a large room.
This wouldn't be quite the equipment I need to recreate something as crazy
as the Van Gogh limestone exhibits in France (there's one in SF right now
too) but something truly fun would be a lot of little projectors!
What are some good starting off points and open source projects around
projection mapping?

Any tips for portable tool storage?
I just started working in field engineering for lab equipment, and I'm
trying to pick out the most functional (and coolest) tools organization.
I know one guy with a big bike-bag full of smaller loose tool bags, and one
guy with a soft toolbox. I'm thinking I'd like a tool backpack, or possibly
some tool rolls.
My tool kit isn't going to need to be super extensive: a bunch of allen
wrenches and screw drivers, some pliers and snips, a little bottle of
machine oil and a brush, etc.. But I'd like to have some room to expand. It
would also be cool to have some modularity. Again, the tool set is basic
electronics servicing stuff.
What do you guys think? Again, I want something light and practical, but
I'm definitely considering cool-factor too.

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.
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 calendar but i'm planning 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 at the beginning 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)
see you soon!

Rick aka 'Glass on Wheels' who originally installed the CCL/Sudo skylights
will be coming by Friday morning to assess leaks in these skylights.
The work will be limited to walking on the roof and visual inspection, so
there should be no disruption to CCL or Sudo's operations during this
task.
I will ask Rick to focus on assessing leaks that are coming through the
panes, as opposed to leaks sourced from the outer perimeter of the
skylights (which should have already been recently addressed by the roofer,
mike).
- It might be helpful to know the kind of paint CCL washed the outside of
the skylight windows with (some time ago), if someone recollects that..?
- It might be helpful for someone from CCL / Sudo to be on-hand to discuss
specific leak areas, in the event I don't remember them all.
Best,
David
In case anyone is interested, HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) conferences happen every two years in New York City. This year is: A New HOPE, 22-24-July. It's a really nice conference (but, I'm biased, since I'm one of the main organizers).
The first batch of tickets is on sale as of this afternoon:
https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-a-new-hope
This will be a really wonderful conference, full of diverse talks, workshops, art, music, food, and wonderful people.
You can get a free ticket if you submit a talk or workshop or panel that is accepted into the program. So, please submit a cool proposal! Submissions aren't very formal, and only take a few minutes.
https://www.hope.net/cfp.html
Cheers,
Mitch

Thoughts on SudoRoom lately -
- any way to link SudoRoom projects with the bike party? The sf bike party, San Jose bike party, critical mass and the east bay bike party?
Thinking on it through zines
- enjoyed hanging out and reading the Forrest mims books. Thinking of redrawing them for our own version in one sheeters!
- Rps collective reopened since I was last at SudoRoom. A collaboration would be nice with them and SudoRoom!!!
- since I was last at SudoRoom there’s a Bart extension to San Jose that hooks up directly to the san Jose flea market. San Jose is bikeable now!
Integrating nature
- since I was last at SudoRoom I got a lot more into surfing. Wondering how to link the beach and nature - there’s so much fun stuff about the Bay Area and nature and citizen science how yo bring it together ? I dislike hanging out sitting at desks more and more when I’m not working
Nice to be back!
