Happy Holidays! Trying to put together some projects at SudoRoom examples

by Romy Ilano

Hey folks, happy holidays! I'm trying to put together some samples of projects at SudoRoom. https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:Projects Do you have a short overview of your project? I know it's hard but I can volunteer to "grill" you =D - What is it? - Why did you do it? - How did SudoRoom help you do it? Any photographs would be great?! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Nikon Kodak DCS 460 camera

by Jake Watters

I'm going through the junk under the stairs and there's a Nikon Kodak DCS 460 camera with no lens https://www.digitalkameramuseum.de/en/cameras/item/kodak-dcs-460 And lots of other stuff! Come get stuff or it's going to get e-wasted and recycled. Anyone want a dresser?

Meeting notes + moving stuff work party?

by Paige P

Hi everyone Please check out the meeting notes from last night https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2024-11-21 Some todos we have *space todos* - clear out all things stored under the staircase (the "computer" library?). This is on request of the fire inspector. Given this is a lot of stuff, I think we should do some e-wasting. CALLI is helping us, we just need to put it in the trash room - CCL gives a cut of profit from equipment sales to whoever does the work to post items on craigslist. If anyone is interested in doing that work in Sudo Room, speak up! - We could cart some stuff over to the entrance hall and promote a buy nothing day with the free store https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day. Free Store doesnt have capacity to store a lot of electronics but no problem if we bring whatever isn't taken back into sudo room or ewaste - talk to CC about doing sewing programming out of Sudo Room for the rest of the year. If that's agreed to, then we need to make some space in Sudo Room for this - make a Sudo Room sign and lighting for our new entrance *nonprofit forming todos* - Finalize bylaws - Find new insurance plans - Hire someone to do admin work *communications todo* - (re)create a discord? Right now we have a channel on the Omni slack. I see there's some open source discord alternatives but I haven't used any. Paige

Our leaky roof and warpage installed

by Kent Leech

Hi folks, Last night myself and Avery deployed the tarp from last year over the SW corner of Sudoroom. I also placed available buckets nearby on the big table so they can be positioned to catch drips. While they will catch a fair amount of water, inevitably some will puddle. From my memory, the low spot is near the standing drill press. The chrome wet-dry vac is nearby and sucks up the excess water very well. When full, I've dumped it outside the side entrance. If anyone can check on the drips this evening, that would be most helpful. Also, the excess water will eventually need vacuuming up. I¹m not available until after thanksgiving. Regards, Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 --

Small but important admin task for Sudo

by Sarah Lockhart

As Sudo embarks on its journey for independence from Omni, one thing that would be very helpful to do is to change the billing account for Sudo’s Digital Ocean subscription. Currently, as a result of something Yar did a year or so ago, Sudo Room’s DigiOcean monthly payment is being paid out of Omni’s general checking account. It should be paid out of the Sudo account. For the past year or so, I have been transferring the $43.90 (on average) from Sudo’s account to Omni’s account to reimburse Omni. However, it would be simplest if this autopayment was made from Sudo’s account so that no one has to transfer anything, because very soon I will not be around to do this. Best, SL
