I'm not able to promote and help host the 5MoF this coming week nor the next one in June due to work/travel. Unless someone else pops out of the woodwork, 5MoF is taking a hiatus. What needs to be done: * Promote the event in advance to ensure people show up * Get people to sign up to present interesting things * Show up at least two to three hours before the event and help set up the audio/video/lighting Robb has helped with the physical setup and teardown for the past two events, especially audio and lighting, so perhaps he'd still be up for helping? I'm happy to explain everything involved in setting up and live-streaming. If no-one takes this on then 5MoF will take a two month hiatus. -- marc/juul

Invitation to present art, demos and projects at FIGMENT Oakland on June 10th

by Rick Abruzzo

Hey Makers, Hackers, Developers and Educators of Sudo Room, My name is Rick Abruzzo and I'm the co-producer of FIGMENT Oakland. As I understand it, there won't be a 5 minutes of fame this coming month so, I reaching out personally to Sudo room Discuss List to invite all of you to bring art, projects, demo and installations to our event at Mosswood Park on June 10th. FIGMENT is a free participatory arts and creative culture event in Oakland, CA providing an open forum for every type of artist, helps build a creative community, and fosters participatory and public art and creative culture of every sort. FIGMENT demonstrates what the arts can be: participatory, bursting with creativity and completely free, born from the desire to share imagination and invention between artists and the public. Our event is run by an all-volunteer staff and accepts no sponsorships and allows no vending, we are first and foremost here to serve the community and inspire attendees to think of art in the reach of everyone I'm reaching out to Sudo Room because your organization is full of creative people who like to share and educate, and I believe FIGMENT would be a great place to inspire the next generation of creators. To get a better idea of the nature of the projects and performances we host, please take a look at our photo galleries from 2014 and 2015. Also feel free to reach out and ask questions. If you have a project you think would be awesome to share go ahead and submit at our artist portal. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Rick Abruzzo Co-producer, FIGMENT Oakland -- FIGMENT Oakland: oakland.figmentproject.org Oakland Awesome Foundation: awesomefoundation.org/en/chapters/oakland/ Dancehall of Beautiful Radiant Things: dancehallofbeautifulradiantthings.com Facebook | Instagram | Twitter Portfolio

Proposal: Safer DIY Spaces group as OC fiscally-sponsored project - project model

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers, Last week I met with the Safer DIY Spaces group, which the delegates approved to provisionally fiscally sponsor under a grant-making model back in December. At the Delegate's Meeting on Thursday, there was consensus to provisionally approve the proposal, with full approval pending some time to check in with the individual collectives. They have been doing incredible work (providing consulting and walkthroughs for dozens of spaces in danger as well as participating in shaping future code compliance policies at the city-wide level) and have many more spaces they're still working on. However, the grant-making model of fiscal sponsorship has been rather unwieldy (they need to submit a grant request to allocate their own funds, which Finance then signs off on, then Finance has to write checks out to them, etc etc). This proposal is to fully fiscally sponsor Safer DIY Spaces as a project-based model, enabling them to write checks and make debit card purchases from their own subaccount (which is where their funds have already been going). This was the proposal Laura sent to Consensus on Dec. 14th, which is being modified to provide sponsorship under a project-based rather than grant-based model with an adjusted admin fee of 5% (which is the same fee we charge Real Vegan Cheese): https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/2016-December/000984.html The above-linked proposal contains more info about the project, its mission, activities, origin story and organizing structure. They have been meeting weekly at Omni since December. Check signers on this account are to be Isaac Amala and Sinuba Dreem. This sponsorship agreement would be applicable retroactively to April 1st, 2017 with an admin fee of 5% (same as Real Vegan Cheese). If we could pass this at the next Delegate's Meeting on May 4th, that would be wonderful and enable them to access their own funds in a more timely fashion, as much of their work is time-sensitive (eg prepping spaces for surprise inspections, life-safety improvements, etc) If you have any further questions, the DIY group can be reached at: saferdiyspaces [AT] gmail [DOT] com (cc'd) Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

looking for a laptop that doesn't suck

by Jake

i'm looking for a decent modern laptop with a screen resolution greater than 1400x900, which has a decent backlight and good keyboard and touchpad. Ideally it's pretty cheap. I can't figure out what brand to get because apparently both lenovo and dell cant make a decent keyboard, and apples are generally way too expensive for me. please consider replying off-list to avoid clogging peoples' inboxes! thank you, -jake

Anyone have these plugs/cables?

by Marc Juul

Need them to get the old HPLC working. One is a weird assymetric 6-pin RJ11 derivative. Even knowing its name would be useful. For the RS232 cable we need normal DB9 at the other end. For the IEEE 488 cable we need male on both ends. -- marc/juul
