There appears to be malware generating pop ups infecting the site.
I'm sure that someone at Sudo will know exactly what bugspray to use,
thanks.

to stuff like Chrom Books and online distance learning instead of tactile
learning with notecards and paper

Last week was pretty great!
- I held down the fort and explored web-based virtual reality projects
during the women and nonbinary hack and do whatever nights. In the middle
of job searching so can't do much more but I plan a workshop on Blender +
web virtual reality between all headsets.
Tuesday hacker night
Continues to be cool. I went and haven't had time to mess with the robot,
but Jake is making progress. Had a dream of one day hooking up a virtual
reality headset with a game controller to the robot so that people with a
Quest or VisionPro could view the space with their headsets and interact
with people.
Maybe there's a cheaper open source way to do it with webcams. That would
be cool! Might be a future project.
More people coming to the space that I met at Augmented reality hackathons.
It's cool! Hope we can get more artsy people in too.
It's just great to be able to socialize and talk in the space. While we do
talk start-up shop talk, it's nice to have a space where you're not
pressured to monetize by VCs.
The last sessions at SudoRoom have been fun, I had time to explore and
hack. While it's nice to see presentations by outside people, it's nice to
return to the roots of sudoroom, which is using it as a hackerspace.
For orientation maybe we can have "here's how to contribute to the wiki"
We had a nice session two weeks back where many people expressed interest
in using Blender. So a "Blender for noobies" event.
The MADE game museum in Old oakland has meetups wednesdays for digital
creators. Would like to involve them with SudoRomo, especially around light
projectors Just don't have time lately.
Women who code has disbanded, which leaves a big spaces for people who want
to meet. Fortunately and unfortunately most women's groups revolve around
people who are looking for a job =P While I'm an idealist and want to have
spaces for people who love programming for the fun of it (long term I think
these people are also more employable) will probably plan some "get a job"
leetcode heck meetups for the women and non binary night.
Some not so fun stuff:
There are a number of VC-funded "third space" "hackerspaces" popping up in
San Francisco mostly. They are great, but I've noticed some of them are
planting people in SudoRoom sometimes to get them to go to those for profit
spaces. It's a strong hunch I believe to be true, but if you are doing so,
please be transparent.
Have had encounters with people who come to hackerspaces (they won't be
named) using it as a dating service. FYI sudoroom and Noisebridge are not
dating services for guys desperate to have a girlfriend. I have yet to meet
a cool woman who comes to hackerspaces who is hot to date guys there.
Dating apps are great for that kind of thing, and there are speed-dating
meetups in the city.

Here is the latest RPS Collective newsletter. I used to be a member and
they started the Oakland Art Murmur (which became the First Fridays).
They are very active, have a space and I hope to involve them more in
SudoRoom and Nosiebridge hackerspaces in the year after I get a dang job!

Hello Folks,
The meeting with CAST was incredibly sweet and wholesome. They shared more
about their values. We shared a number of our existing problems OMNI has
had in the past, we also shared the essence of who we are, what we do, and
what we believe. They appeared to be genuinely impressed and excited. We
also gave them a tour of the building.
While they didn’t give us much information on whether they have intention
to help us with our many needs, I believe they see hard work that has gone
into the OMNI, the positive outcomes it has delivered in the past, as well
as the potential it has for great things in the future.
The next meeting is on May 1 (6:30-8PM) to discuss representation and
experience for QTBIPOC Collective Members. If you are QTBIPOC and would
like to attend please reach out.
We should invite QTBIPOC folks to represent their experience at SUDO, if
you know someone who you feel would be at this please reach out to them
directly.
*Feel free to:*
- Invite members to this event personally
- Reply to this thread if you are interested in attending.
- Email Directly to confirm attendance (williamrmyers(a)gmail.com)
I'm Looking forward to working with them to make great things happen!
Best
William
Hung out at SudoRoom last night, met some cool people and am continuing to
bring new and fresh faces to the hackerspace!
I'm still exploring web hosting of virtual reality. Aframe is a promising
framework and this would make for a clean and easy workshop!

It's great socializing with folks.

I'm all in on augmented reality. I'm still thinking a lot about light
projection.
I have been busy, haven't had time to stop by. Will try to make it to
hardware hack night Tuesdays!
One positive change is that I've been minimizing as much as possible the
presentations I've had to look at this week. I think I just saw too many.
Another thing is, I'd like to come to sudoroom and focus entirely on
hacking. I feel like I was on that track, but really cool people would
distract me and try to get me into that the past few weeks.
