*Creative community and hackerspace*
*Help Keep Sudo Room Alive*
Sudo Room is continuously short on rent, so any contributions will really
help! As a member, we suggest a monthly due of $60, and accept non-monetary
contributions such as delicious snacks brought to our Wednesday night
meetings.
We are on the collaborative hacker honor system. If you are doing well
monetarily, feel free to pitch in a bit more than $60 so that someone else
can pay less and still enjoy the hack. If you have any problems making a
recurring donation, please let substack or juul know in IRC (#sudoroom on
freenode) for a quick fix.
Sudo Room is very close to becoming an official non-profit. We're excited
to become a non-profit because it will mean that all donations to Sudo Room
will be retroactively tax-deductible with the IRS. However, we need to
raise $400 filing fee for our IRS 501(c)3 application. If you want to help
with this process in any way, please contact info(a)sudoroom.org.
DONATE NOW <https://sudoroom.org/donate/>
You can also help keep Sudo Room alive by reaching out to your workplace,
other organizations, philanthropists, and grant funders. These folks can
help bring in one-time donations or matching donations that really help!
Applying to grants is easier than you'd think, and anyone who would like to
will be supported in their efforts.
*Short on cash? Help with Stuff!*
Sudo room is seeking a boat-load of organizing tools--like clear bins,
shelving, label-makers, and other materials. If you have any of these
things, drop a note to info(a)sudoroom.org or sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org!
AND if you can donate $$$ to help purchase and pick up these supplies, it
would be a high return on your investment!
Thank you for everything.
the black vending machine (closest to the exit sign and bathroom) is
nearly operational.
Thanks to Lesley for helping with the power cord and networking cables!
There is a beaglebone black inside which is on the network, and I am
working on software to get it to be able to dispense whatever we put in
there.
We need a quality combination lock for the thing, so that multiple people
can add goodies to it.
and of course there is a lot of software to write. At first, you will
only be able to pay using your sudo-humans account, and any money you put
into it.
I am only working on the software for the hardware - making the internal
electronics able to dispense product when the software triggers it. If
anyone wants to help with that, let me know - it's just arduino C.
Of course if you want to work on it, I will set you up with access codez.

Hello sudoers,
I'm trying to build a pseudo-docking station for my laptop, that would
enclose the power, hdmi and thunderbolt plugs that I currently have to plug
in separately (all are right next to each other).
The best idea I've had for how to do this has been to create a 3-d computer
model of the plugs, and then 3-d print an enclosure that can house all
three of them.
Do you have a laser scanner that could make such a model? I have some
experience with 3d printing, but I've never used a laser scanner before, so
I'd need some help with that, as I understand they can be quite finicky.
I would plan on making a monetary donation to sudoroom, and/or becoming a
member.
Alternatively, if anyone has any other ideas about how to do this, I'd
welcome them.
Thanks!

I know it's not -- are there other biohacker spaces around the world?
In Spain or Greece? I know that a lot of those places are great for time
banks & wifi sudomesh style projects due to the economy.
Is there a way to get a map of other hackerspaces up on the website? I'd
like to help put it up in my spare time.

Recent events in the news in both Europe and the USA are quite alarming
I knew this was always true, but it's especially important for all educated
and like-minded folks to stick together!
Hope we can all resolve our differences, find common ground, and
collaborate intelligently. There are evil times going on in politics all
over!

At last week's Sudo meeting, we signed up for Hacker Happy Hour
shifts. I took March 4, but now realize that's first friday. I usually
help run the Omni booth at FF. Can someone else take this date?
Thanks.

Everyone,
As you may have heard, there shooting on 48th and Shattuck this past
Saturday. I was the point person for the party at the end of which it
occurred. Several Omni organizers who were present afterwards have
invited neighbors to a meeting on Sunday at 7 to discuss what
happened. We hope many of you will also attend, and to prepare for
that we want to have an internal Omni meeting on Thursday at 7pm. We
want to be sure that everyone is as clear about what happened as we
can be, based upon talking to the people who were there, and to
develop a shared approach to communicating about it.
Thanks everyone and hope to see you on Thursday and Sunday.
Laura
