Hi everyone,
We are short on being able to pay rent this month. We need at least $630.50
by the 25th (this Saturday)!
Our rent payment this month (and for the rest of the year) is $2380.50.
Utilities are about $125/month. And we have only $1875 in the bank right
now.
In the immediate term, we need people to either up their monthly dues or do
a one time payment. Here's how you donate: https://sudoroom.org/donate/
So we aren't in this situation again, also please reach out if you want to
join grant writing efforts. There's a few of us who have expressed interest
but there's been no work done here of late, to my understanding. Since
member dues have not been enough to cover rent, we have relied on grant
money to get by. But our last grant from StopWaste has been all used up now.
Paige
this is great!

Subject: Re: [sudo-info] Linux event
We're all listeners of the Linux Unplugged <https://linuxunplugged.com/>
podcast which is hosting listening parties all over the world on 2/2. We
are gathering in person for the first time. I don't know any of the other
attendees personally. So far 6 folks have RSVP'd. We would really just need
a space where we could set up a laptop and speakers, and would bring all
our own gear.

do you know anyone who wants to buy/adopt a vending machine project? The
one in Sudoroom has got to go, we have better uses for the space.
Here's the craigslist ad:

here's the sudoroom wiki page about this project (and yes there were once
two vending machines!):

Does anyone want a working mini fridge? There are two in sudoroom that
should go. Let me know if you want pictures. These are a little taller
than the tiny cube ones, and probably easily enough space for one person.
One is a sanyo and the other is a magic chef.
Hi Sudoers:
Ring in the New Year at Sudoroom: here are some projects we’ll be
working on tonight:
-Telepresence monitor: we’ve now got two large candidate TVs to try to
get working: 1) Patrik from CCL’s Samsung un48J5200AF 48” TV (“It has
been having intermittent problems with the screen going black”) and the
55” 4K TV, Toshiba Model K550WDR1/55l621U (when power is applied It
displays the splash screen with the logo, and then goes out.) It’d be
great to get at least one of these TVs working so we can mount it to the
rolling monitor stand and use it to telepresence people into Sudorooom
via jitsi or Discord.
-Chromebook Conversion: want a lightweight laptop you can experiment
with Linux on? We have lots of Chromebooks retired by school districts
that are convertible to Linux; you can have one to help build out a
Chromebook and Linux hacking, distribution and support practice at
Sudoroom. (See http://bit.ly/cbsave for more details.)
-Donation Stations for Sudoroom and Free Store: we have some large PVC
tubing we need to secure to a heavy base. I’ve also got some electronics
we can use to trigger positive feedback celebratory and acknowledgment
effects when someone donates, and other electronics to sound an alarm if
someone tries to make off with it.
*** And don’t forget Kent’s cleanup scheduled for Friday Jan 5 11-5:
let’s get a head start on that tonight and purge some clutter. ***
Hope to see you later, -Peter
Is anyone interested in doing a 2024 year in review for our blog at
SudoRoom?
Some highlights:
- Women and NonBinary night has been really awesome and rocking!
- July/ish? we were saved by EBPrec
- Romy: started a "learning how to learn" chapter, reduced some screen
time.
- Romy: we started doing meetups that focused on face to face - minimal
screens, no remote, with just whiteboards. this resulted in a lot of great
things! like our algebraic data types with RUST -
https://sudoroom.org/algebraic-data-types-in-rust-whiteboard-style-kung-fu-…
- What was your most surprising encounter at SudoRoom this year?
- What did you learn this year at SudoRoom?
- What do you plan for 2025? i might make a google form about this
