A nice video about Radical Software, a magazine and "tv hacker" movement
from the 1970s. The print magazine, I learned about it reading an old copy
at Sudoroom :) the first time I went here.
Radical Software - early experiments in television

- It's really cool how she talks about how they did their own version of
show and tell, which is what we'd like our five minutes of fame to become.
- The fresh way people viewed television is so refreshing, it's too bad
what television later became. did television ever reach its potential? I
read that when people made sesame street or educational tv they had this
idealistic hope that tv could decentralized stuff and create this kind of
futuristic utopia. Sort of like what happened to the internet.
I'm going to dig further, it was also a video journal. Should we try to do
a video journal? People were favoring podcasts at the meeting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Software
"The video journal was begun with a questionnaire sent to a wide variety of
interested people. The first issue was a creative editing of the answers to
the questionnaire plus some additional special articles. The most
outstanding element of *Radical Software* video journal was the style and
emphasis used in editing <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editing>. The
content itself was a call to pay attention to the way information itself is
disseminated. And it was a call to encourage a grassroots
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroots> involvement in creating an
information environment exclusive of broadcast and corporate media
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_media>. It became immediately
important and popular as it grasped fully what a lot of people had been
concerned with and thinking about; giving its introduction a synchronicity
of the ideas of the day.[*citation needed

Hey this is the sign-up sheet for the next 5 minutes of fame:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/5MoF_2017-02-22
So feel free to sign up! It would be good to promote each segment
periodically the closer we get to the date.
Did someone say that they were going to do a green screen?

Hi all,
I'm part of an organization called Girls Teaching Girls to Code that aims
to introduce computer science concepts to female high school students in
the area. On February 25, some of our high school liaisons are hosting
their own hackathon, and they're really excited about it.
During the workshop portion of the event, they are looking for people to
give a brief overview of some basic security concepts, as well as exercises
for them to complete. For example, the lesson could consist of a
presentation followed by simple CTF problems. It should last about an hour
altogether.
The *total time commitment* would be probably be around *3 hours in total*
on the morning of *Saturday, February 25 *(I haven't confirmed exactly
whether it will be 10 to 11 AM or 11 AM to 12 PM, plus transit time to
the *MuleSoft
Headquarters *in *SF*).
If you're at all interested, please email me! We need a few more sets of
hands to make this workshop a success, but I have a lot of experience in
designing curriculum for this age group, and I'd be supporting every step
of the way.
Thanks!
Best,
Maggie

Hey!
I look back on my involvement in SudoRoom and Noisebridge and *I was most
happy and having fun bouncing off ideas with people when working on
projects.* This also contributed the most fun to SudoRoom and shows what is
unique about the space.
I got sucked into a bunch of interesting events, especially around teaching
and helping lead Women Who Code meetups. That was very fun! I socialized
with a lot of cool people and had good times. There were nice conversations.
But these kinds of activities ultimately did not produce any tangible
results that I could build upon. I am not interested in being an event
planner or a teacher, although those are noble activities!
*How can we help make SudoRoom a bit more project-based? *By putting new
potential members on the path to creating projects, i think this would help
with our retention.
I keep mentioning again and again to new people that it's not so much
fitting in with the people, having people hug you or going to events where
everyone looks exactly like you that's important... meetups are all over
the bay area. it's really the projects that suck people in and help them
add diversity to the space.
