event: Sunday 8pm - at SudoRoom & online

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/screenshare-event-node-js-command-line-tool-ana… Hi, I'm going to do my first screenshare event, but you'll also be able to attend live and in person!. This is my "project" from the cyberwizard institute. - I will be conducting a super newbie tutorial on making command line tools in node. - we'll analyze data from Open Oakland - more specifically domestic violence in Oakland [image: Learn how this picture relates to Set Theory Attribution: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prague_Praha_2014_Holmstad_flott_Mu…] <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/320px-Prague_Praha_2014_Hol…> https://github.com/womenwhocodeoakland/oakland-data-with-node-js I'll be doing a special screenshare with comments and drawings. - This is a super-newbie screenshare on how to set up a node.js command-line tool to parse data on domestic violence in Oakland using Open Data. - We'll be going over basic node concepts, parsing JSON - Best of all, by the end everyone will hopefully understand how to avoid grunt work and copy and paste in Excel. *Too many smart women with potential are trapped in dead end pink collar clerical, accounting and marketing jobs even though they are probably smart enough to learn to code and make the world a better place. Even in non-profit volunteer organizations women tend to do a lot of clerical grunt work instead of having fun and being creators so this will hopefully tip the balance!* Women Who Code Oakland Node.js Tutorial This is a basic tutorial on Node.js using the command line. Benefits: - You can make a basic "networked" app - You can avoid doing clerical gruntwork and using horrible Excel Macros written by a javascript newbie for Women Who Code Oakland / Women Who Code East Bay http://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Code-East-Bay/ *Women dominate clerical, lower-paid clerical jobs like entry level accounting and secretarial work or lower-level marketing positions. They live their lives in Excel sheets. Enabling them to learn basic coding and taking advantage of their intelligence and potential will help make the world a better place.* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

In Europe, Fake Jobs Can Have Real Benefits

by Vicky Knox

Dear Sudoers, What do you think of this phenomenon in Europe of fake companies (and banks) used to job-train people while they're un/der-employed (keeping the meal hot, so to speak)? It's kind of interesting to me coming from a membership-based, volunteer-run org like Sudo Room--parallels abound (strangely)! Though I must say that I learned way more practical and professional skills at Sudo and LOL than at any of my mind-numbing tech jobs. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/31/business/international/in-europe-fake-job… hugz, vix

sudoroom is looking awesome lately

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/blog/ the past 2 weeks have been quite energizing, and every time I see what's going on at SudoRoom I'm really excited what's really nice with the things going on lately, especially the CyberWizard project, is that it's teaching and showing people how to do stuff in a unique way. *even though there are quite a few women in our space, we aren't trivilialized, and the women aren't railroaded into working on projects for children or motherhood projects or stuff involving charity work for the needy.* it's often hard to tell if a project is initiated by a man or a woman. when i do talk to women at SudoRoom i get to see them as people first, not mother or wives, or someone's girlfriend, and to be frank, that's really hard to come by in the technology culture. the men are just as likely to do art as the women. and the men are just as likely to clean as the women or sew, which is really nice. we still have a ways to go, but i'm very grateful sudoroom is so awesome and that they tolerate people like me who are different. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Lost 4'x4' Mylar Bags in Sudo

by Robb Anonymous

Hi all, I brought two 4ft x 4ft mylar bags into sudo and was going to cut & tape them together to make sunshades for under the skylights as the daytime sun makes it impossible to do any work there. Unfortunately, I got sidetracked helping CCL- which took alot longer that expected - & when I returned cyberwizard was in sudo so I wasn't able to look for it. Today, I looked for them but couldn't find them. If anyone put them anywhere or took them home with them I would appreciated it if they were returned to me. I apologize for not labeling them or putting them away. Thanks robb

Sec. 8 federal low income housing applications accepted until Tues 11:59pm

by James Beatty

Anyone low income person you know who needs housing for 30% of their income can apply for Sec. 8 until Tues at 11:59 pm. This happens once in 6 years for this area. They will take 5000 applicants to be put on the wait list. Last time they took 1500 out of 15,000 applicants. So maybe one in ten chance in a lottery, maybe better. Do it on line.

Wikipedia & Journalism event next Friday

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, I'm putting on an event next Friday, with Hacks and Hackers, entitled: *The Future of Journalism in a Wikipedia World. * http://www.meetup.com/hacksandhackers/events/224478596/ This will be a "lightweight" panel discussion, with an emphasis on conversation among the whole group. Besides me, one of the panelists should be familiar to you: Liberty Madison has just agreed to join us, along with Dan Cook (reporter/editor/Wikipedian) and Andrew Lih (journalism prof/author or The Wikipedia Revolution). The event is in SF, not too far from Noisebridge. Our host, Nomiku, will be serving fancy cocktails and hors d'oeuvres afterward. There is a $10 charge to cover ingredients; but the charge is optional for anybody who wants to just attend the panel and discussion. (Just skip the payment option when RSVPing.) I hope to see some of you there! And if anybody would like to share this on the Noisebridge list, I'd appreciate it -- since this is more in their back yard! -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki
