I got through some node.js lessons today on treehouse, it was awesome. definitely check out the chaulkers videos, they are nice, I should have been doing other stuff!!! I have a coding interview sample to turn in. i have to study for some more stuff. i made a nice learning repo, and i will probably use it for tutorials at SudoRoom and Women Who Code. it's nice to just get into node slowly for easily accessible command line tools. https://github.com/romyilano/late-night-node-sessions before i left i made some late night art: https://www.flickr.com/photos/miromi/19567991254/ I usually draw animals at sudoroom but for some reason I drew purple and maroon dancing humans who are probably naked. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

created a shell sudoroom marketing - splash page for everyone to use and fork

by Romy Ilano

http://sudoroom.github.io/donateNowSplashPage/ https://github.com/sudoroom/donateNowSplashPage it points to the sudohumans page. Hi I overcame any issues I had with marketing and css / web design to make a shell SudoRoom Donate Now splash page. It's sort of like Marketing but not. I grabbed a slideshow and you can modify it and use it... I feel so dirty now that I used jQuery ;) ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Minimalist space ?

by Romy Ilano

I work well when learning in clean minimalist empty areas. Do you think it'd be kosher to carve out a clean minimalist space in the Sudoroom ? Sent from my iPhone

by Romy Ilano

*Financial Straits! :* We have $1031 in the bank. Our minimum expenses are ~$2400 per month and as of July 2015 we are making $1820 per month through stripe and gratipay.

Donate now! <https://sudoroom.org/donate/> my to do: make a comic about this. there will be humans i don't think it's very clear to outsiders how important the gittip was to us, and all the internas and how hard we are working on sudohumans. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

sudoroom visitor report: todo / blog post of the javascript meetup last night

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Javascript Last night I dropped by the SudoRoom JavaScript meetup. - *mental state:* I was honestly extremely fatigued, as I have been skipping a few hours of sleep in the past few weeks. Each hour shaved off my sleeping schedule seemed like a tiny thing I was really tired, so I was unable to socialize much with everyone. Despite that it was cool just being around other people who were learning and hacking. I was actually trying to get other work done too, and I don't have time to go deep into javascript. But being around the community at SudoRoom and knowing that *Oakland is javascript cit*y <https://oaklandwiki.org/javascript> got me over my "issues" with JavaScript. I chatted with people, continue to be unable to get some components of sudo-humans installed since I have a mac. (it's the canvas installation and node gyp rebuild that's hitting me) I'll try to get back to that later and help out. So I just went through a tutorial while brushing up on javascript with online learning. I've worked with node.js before, and it's a little hard for javascript beginners to get into since it's so involved but with a little practice I'm able to work it. I've started using node.js for simple scripting jobs. I mostly work as an iPhone programmer but it's nice to be able to do scripts in python and node.js to do busy work. I went over this tutorial, so this is the rough equivalent to a ruby on rails app: http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/ it's nice having had the web background in ruby on rails through the rails bridge outreach program. they're the people who first got me using git and github and heroic several years ago before I decided to focus and learn programming. I'm not a rails person but it's something I'd like to get under my belt. I don't claim to know everything but i was able to get a rudimentary mongo db down with the tutorial's help I learned how to push node.js out to heroku. When I first met substack and Sudoroom i was at a hackathon and working on a node.js learning app for kids. It was a cool hackathon and substack makes learning javascript and node.js fun while throwing in a lot of art. at that time I don't think heroku supported node.js so we were using nodejitsu. but now it does, which i learned result so it doesn't look like much but i got to understand the inner workings of node.js express.js and the various frameworks. I'm not saying that it's healthy to dive into the frameworks first without knowing the language fundamentals (or relearning them after you've forgotten them) but I'm also actively reviewing stuff like inheritance, modeling objects in javascript and so on on the free access to the treehouse learning site that i get through my publicly funded san francisco library card. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/helloworld i wasn't able to understand hooking up the app to the free mongodb database on heroku. that probably isn't hard but id din't want to spend the rest of the night looking around. it was nice and quick. http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/userlist i'm trying to focus but it's hard, so now i feel i've gotten past my very superficial reviews of node.js now I'm around a lot of really talented people who do a lot of work in node.js so I can ask around, and I'm capable enough now (I hope) to do a lot of self-learning and not have to be dependent on too much coursework or even a book. one of the hardest things to deal with is how quickly the languages and frameworks update. i'm primarily a mobile phone developers who's self taught but i'd like to do more web stuff and back end work, since I enjoy the speed that comes with web development. it takes a little longer to do UI on the mobile phone, and although UI is important it's a different nature and not as vital on a website. (someone will probably argue with me) so although this looks pathetic: it was nice http://arcane-savannah-2963.herokuapp.com/ nice because I was around a lot of javascript people, I got over my fear of node.js and javascript, and i'm on my way to making small web node.js hacks that are useful for different things <3 ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Important Omni decisions

by yar

Your delegates to the Omni have lately been me, Jenny Ryan and Matt Senate. We would love more people to fill this role. We also need help making decisions which represent Sudoroom. Not enough people have been coming to meetings. Last night there were only 2-3. Other members were doing important work throughout the building, which is great but we still need to participate in Omni decisions. Here's some of the open proposals to the Omni delegates: * Finance & fundraising working groups should act quickly to buy the building * Omni should become a 501c3 * Delegates should meet weekly again * Global Womens Strike should become a member collective * Black Hole should take responsibility for their fire hazards in the basement * Use the red stage area in the basement for bike parking * Post a clear policy about using the shower Each of these proposals uses a consensus process - first we talk about the issues in order to learn what everybody's needs are. Then each collective can say yes, abstain, or block (and give a good reason). Since few people showed up to last night's meeting, I'm not sure what we're supposed to say. Should members resort to voting by email? It would help if people with concerns could make them known somehow, and people with positive feelings also. Thanks.
