Any recommendations for a cheap place to stay for a visiting biohacker from
La Paillasse in Paris? Anyone willing to put him up for a few days?
Thanks!

Hello,
I'm Sebastien from France, …
[View More]where I'm involved in a bio-hackerspace called
La Paillasse. I heard about you from Mitch Altman that I met many times in
Paris. What you are doing at counter culture lab seems really cool and
interesting. I will be around SF from the 5th of August, for the INNS
conference (near SFO airport) from 8th to 10th and a workshop I'm working
on about Deep Learning and Neural Networks at Stanford on the 11th.
I would be happy to meet you on the 5th evening or 6th evening. However I
would need to find a cheap place to stay in the area. Would you have any
recommendation?
Best regards,
Sébastien

Also, if a visitor comes here, try to get them to bookmark this site or
email them a link to this site. A lot of stuff that has happened at
SudoRoom isn't immediately apparent when you scan the room! A lot of stuff
we have is temporary. Better yet, see if people can join our wiki even as
outsiders and add interesting tidbits.

Hi RPS Collective is visiting SudoRoom Thursday night.
I feel we should literally put out the red carpet for them. We have a lot
we can learn form them. I'd love to see them in our space, but that's
really up to them.
Things they do well that we could learn from
- work with youth in a genuine, non superficial / non tokenistic way -
this is hard to pull off with most hackerspaces. their programs have this
magic combination that treats young people as equals and it feels
authentic. …
[View More]much more so even than most public education programs
- work well with mainstream and older women while still being quirky
themselves es- this is something that's hard to pull off for many
hackerspaces and collectives.
- integrate sewing and crafts in an authentic way - this is not our
strong point.
- celebrate the arts in a unique way - that doesn't just include
hipsters.
i hope everyone can be extra accommodating to them. they are cool. I used
to volunteer with them even though I was never a member.
by the way they are looking for monthly donations for the ac transit youth
bus passes ->

Hey so speaking of that youth program, We need some monthly AC Transit
Youth Bus passes. Anyone want to sponsor? 20 bucks each. Tax deductible
donation to get youth creative

could someone arrange to have mom hackers to come in the space?
I know this is sort of sexist, but instead of them being seen as human
beings, they will spend the whole time talking about how they are
stereotypical mothers, and they buy mom things, and do things that moms
traditionally do like take care of kids and care of their husbands.
then they will work on a project that involves:
charity
child care
something with refugees
we can do this for PR
then when the whole thing is over we …
[View More]will take them in the back and take
off their shackles and tell them they are not just mothers but human
beings! their lives do not revolve around baby pictures on Facebook ! they
will not have to watch romantic comedies or work on craft and scrapbooking
projects but be fully fleshed human beings with careers, interests and
lives!!!
liberation!

*could someone who is really good at interior design and is down with
burning man come in and dress up SudoRoom so that it looks charming like a
$500,000 burning man set instead of just a workshop where smart people come
to hack things?*
I suck at this stuff and i have a lot to do but I will try my best to add
more "blinky lights" elements to the space.
*I think a similar analogy is that of a real artist's studio versus how you
present the artist's studio when a patron comes in. *
*usually …
[View More]these places are a mess of broken bottles and stuff and look
disgusting, but when you have this gallery walk through day, people tidy
things up and you make it look like an upscale fashion boutique on valencia
street in the mission*

*Here is a second cyberwizard blog post - it has adventures in html and vim*
please pass around / watch / direct people to it and see if they can donate
too
this is the real stuff that makes SudoRoom special.
I don't know of too many other people who would favor teaching newbies and
random people vim alongside beginning html. I don't know anyone else who
takes time to explain the history of unix while teaching the command

Hellos Sudoers-Meshers,
*If you need to get in touch with me, please use my email address.*
Lost Cellphone:
It's been a few days now that I have lost my cellphone.
For almost two months now I have been careless about keeping the phone on,
and even to carry the phone with me.
And even though that the feeling that we are under constant illegal
surveillance is awful; I still need that thing to communicate with the rest
of the world (textsecure, redphone).
Anyhow, If you found a Samsung Nexus 4,…
[View More] with some tape on the front camera
lens; please let me know. Changes are that I may have left it at Sudo, by
accident.
Regardless: it is good that at least I backed up about a three months ago.
Too bad that Prey Project cannot tell me where it is, perhaps because it is
without charge right now. But, it is good that at least it is encrypted.
Many thanks,
Daniel
p.s. intended subliminal-message: secure your phone, 'cuz the changes of
getting lost are high.
