I've added the San Francisco, San Jose, & east bay bike parties to our calendar - let's recruit bike party people again!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/others-events/bike-parties/ FYI I've added auxiliary bike party events (Fridays) to our SudoRoom calendar. If we want new members or people dropping by, it's a good idea to "market" to these folks - we had a great time when they came in a while ago to hack on their bikes all at once. https://sudoroom.org/when-the-bike-party-came-to-sudoroom/ what's nice is that the themes change every month for each of these 3 bike parties, and it's a new opportunity for people to be creative especially with costumes. It would also be a good idea to document "starter projects" (I never got around to work on my own bike personally and might add to the wiki) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

I'm looking for stuff to put on the sudoroom events pages and blog - has anyone created new year's celebrations or costumes? Religious decorations? Winter solstice pagan celebration LED costumes? If you'd like to share your photos we would love it! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

spire has a buy nothing - clothing swap on Black Friday - should we do something similar

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/black-friday-clothes-swap-the-spire/ Discussed this with Paige on Monday - November 29 (black Friday) the Spire down the street is having a clothing swap. This sounds like we could do some kind of measured donation on the same day to the free store (we don't want them to be overwhelmed) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Can you help fixing this tv? fixit clinic

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/fix-it-clinic-tv-can-you-help/ Can anyone help out with this fixit project? around a tv? Marc, and Mike opened up a 55″ 4K TV and discovered inside it’s a Toshiba Model K550WDR1 rebranded as a Best Buy Toshiba 551621U - When power is applied It flashes on briefly, shows the logo, and then goes out. Normally this would indicate a power supply issue, but after a little online research some people think the problem might be a firmware issue. *Can someone help to find firmware we can try to flash on this* *TV to see if that resurrects it?* <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_8281.jpeg>Examining the wounded television <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_20241105_224834.jpg> <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IMG_20241105_222750.jpg> ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Should we create a lending library of stuff we actually don't want people to return?

by Romy Ilano

We have a lot of stuff? Should we create a lending library of stuff we don't actually care if people return or not? This would have less maintenance costs and effort than if we had a lending library of stuff we really want back (and we'd have to manage late fees etc) *a members-only "lending library" would help marketing our* - This could serve as a* big marketing plug for SudoRoom -* Hey be a member! You get access to our (wink wink) lending library where you can borrow stuff on the honor system - We could make a page where we give each item (like a cute glue gun) pretty stickers and a name. "Borrow Homer the glue gun! She has created universes you have never seen!" and have little animated cartoons ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
