Hey Sudoers, I came by Sudo Room Wednesday and dropped off a donation of 13 Mac Minis! They were donated by Liz from Mozilla. Some other hackerspaces also got some including Noisebridge. Specs: mid-2010 model, Core 2 Duo cpu, 4 or 8GB RAM, 320 GB HD (wiped clean), DVD-RW drive, HDMI video out. They are missing power cables (but they're standard and power is built-in). They'll work with the latest Mac OS - just need to be installed. Or you can install Linux. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini#Specifications_3 Enjoy! -Carl G

Hardware Hack Night: Movement - Car and bike related stuff

by Romy Ilano

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 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Paper towel dispensers?

by Patrik D'haeseleer

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... Patrik 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.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [sudo-info] Funding

by danarauz＠gmail.com

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! #daniel On Mon, Dec 12, 2016 at 12:20 PM, Barrett Booth <bbooth0000(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > My name is Barrett Booth. > > I am interested in learning about ways of obtaining funding for a book > project.

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 _______________________________________________ Info mailing list Info(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/info -- Daniel Signal: 415.336.9143 <https://whispersystems.org/> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
