Hey everyone,
I'm excited about Hardware hack night. I'm continuing my connected car hack
(using the automatic API) so I can track my car and do fun experiments:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Movement
I'm going to focus on completing a project and having something to present
by the next meeting, and giving tips on how I did it.
In the future I'd like to:
- Encourage people who drive cars to exercise more
- Find ways to enable people to ride the Amtrack more by make tools that
solve the last mile problem, since we sorely need more rail in the East Bay
- explore topics around hacking wheelchairs.
Best,
Romy

How do we feel about paper towel dispensers at the Omni? Are we
intentionally doing without, to save some trees? Are people worried the
paper towel roll will get stolen? Or have we just not bothered putting any
up yet?
I'm planning to get one for our lab sink in CCL, but I'd love to have one
in each bathroom at the Omni.
Touchless towel dispensers start at $25 at Office Depot. There's probably
better places to get them too...

PS: Ditto for wall-mounted soap dispensers...

Hello Mike, not sure if you have been contacted regarding your application,
but I am forwarding to our main discussion email.
I hope someone would reply to you soon! And if you hear or not from anyone,
I highly recommend that you stop by Sudoroom and introduce yourself, and
start hanging there to know folks, and for folks to get to know as well.
Thanks!

Hello Barrett,
(I am not sure if this email is spam or legit. I hope is the second one.)
I don't know about how you can get funds for your book, and I am not sure
if members of Sudoroom can help you either, since that is not necessarily
in our mission.
However, I am forwarding your email to our main discuss list, and if you
would like to provide more information on a second email, please do, so I
can forward that one as well.
Good luck!

To: info(a)sudoroom.org

Email: stevenaleach(a)gmail.com
Why do you want to be a member of sudo room?: Too much time on my hands?
I'm a geek recently returned to coding and obsessed with machine learning
and distributed systems. Also, a van dweller inhabiting a 160 ft^2 box
truck that sat in a field for 20 years sinking into the ground before I got
it - access to tools now and again during renovation and rehabilitation
might be important :-)
If you know already, what are you excited to do at sudo room?: A few
hardware projects that must wait until I can fund them, in the meantime, my
current primary obsession is machine learning and some ideas for
distributing training across a p2p environment with a shared parameter
space.
If you know already, what are you excited to share with the sudo room
community?: What spotty skills I have to offer, I'm a rusty lapsed C guy
recently turned to Python+Theano+Lasagne. I'm pretty excited about IPFS
(Interplanetary Filesystem) at the moment. Beyond that, I'm good with a
broom and mop, so there's that.
Have you ever been banned from another hackerspace? If so, when and why?: No

To: info(a)sudoroom.org
Hi,
I applied to be a member over a month ago. Two weeks ago, I gave my credit
card info and began an automatic monthly payment for membership. I believe
I am a full member by now, but the sudoroom/humans page still shows me as a
comrade. Am I a member? Can I have the access code to get into the building?
Thanks,
Anthony Maes

Hey Chris,
I know this reply late and most likely irrelevant, but I wanted to thank
you for thinking about Sudoroom for that donation.
Thanks,
