Looking forward to a fun *in-person* event. Downloads - We'll be using Ollama for the demo - Please download it on your laptop https://ollama.com/download - Have your IDE ready - Favorites are Microsoft Visual Code We'll be whiteboarding the rest along with the class. Food for thought We have posted some interesting videos to watch before or after the event. https://sudoroom.org/inspiration-from-goat-octavia-butler/ There are some nice clips of Ms. Butler herself speaking on Democracy Now in 2005! Regarding Parking: As you know, there's an epidemic of car vandalism. - Don't park on Telegraph around the Omni. - Bay Wheels bike share is the best option, the residential streets to the east of Shattuck are quite wealthy and less vandalized for some reason parking and then biking is a great solution. - Park a 5 minute walk on Dover street between 47th and 44th (the fancy residential across the street on Shattuck - Also around the large Walgreens parking lot at 5055 Telegraph is much safer too. - OmniCommons serve folks in need with food not bombs, etc. so be considerate of members and people hanging out in the front. They are not going to harm you or your car.

Looking for info on Sudo Room lease or similar agreements for external funding organization

by Dane

Hey Sudo Room, I want to check if there is an official lease that Sudo Room has with Omni Commons in terms of leasing the specific space that Sudo Room does at this time ? or even an unofficial lease Is Sudo Room considered a "fiscally sponsored project" of Omni Commons in terms of 501c3 relations ? Without Omni Commons, does Sudo Room exist as a legal entity ? (501c3 stuff) I am checking in with a community organization that is oriented towards community land trusts about finding a partner … [View More]

Re: we are low on lead solder

by Kent Leech

63/37 is great to work with! My fave, but 60/40 works well too. I¹ll ask the folks at the radio museum; they might have a spare roll of 60/40. -Kent ----- Kent Leech Illustration http://www.kentleech.com kent(a)kentleech.com +1 (510) 504-0634 -- From: Mitch Altman via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Reply-To: Mitch Altman <maltman23(a)hotmail.com> Date: Fri, August 9, 2024 at 1:56 AM To: Jake Watters via sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org>, Jake … [View More]

we are low on lead solder

by Jake Watters

lead free solder sucks! and we are pretty low on non-lead-free solder. If anyone has extra rolls of regular lead solder (often labeled "rosin core" or Pb 63) and you want to store it at sudoroom, it will help. people new to solder often get frustrated when they don't realize they're trying to use lead-free solder, which sucks. Also the flux is toxic compared to the literal pine sap that's in regular solder. -jake

An idea - 💡 why is SudoRoom unique in this place and time and history and how has it uniquely impacted you?

by Romy Ilano

An idea - 💡 why is SudoRoom unique in this place and time and history and how has it uniquely impacted you? Thinking of a series of blog posts with people (we can use anonymous pseudonyms) There is nothing like SudoRoom and no place on the world that is like Oakland. We are the most original city in the United States 🇺🇸 If we express that it will also segue nicely into the unique projects we’ve made. I don’t think our mix of Brains and creativity can be found in quite the same way on another hackerspace !

Missed Opportunities: Reaching out to the arts - Adding SudoRoom to arts-focused community lists + visiting Museums

by Romy Ilano

I have been adding sudoRoom events to the Decentered Arts list - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1eX21lRIMOl3LLUhanRptk0jWbKoyZJV… It's a great place, and there are artists hanging out and doing slide shows of their art in people's homes. I think a missed opportunity that I could have done better on is reaching out to people in the arts who need a place to work and play. Artist are natural hackers. We do have a large ballroom, ideal places for weekly meetups of slides and artist … [View More]
