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 …
[View More]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.

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 …
[View More]they were returned to me.
I apologize for not labeling them or putting them away.
Thanks

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.
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 …
[View More]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!

Hello All,
I have been asked if Sudoroom is interested on acquiring the Oakutron
201x?.
Oakutron "It's that big video game machine people made for occupy. It lives
at the Qilombo and they want to get rid of it.
Thanks, and please let me know if there is someone interested.
Daniel

Hi I made a new prettier landing page that I linked to from the sudoroom
main page
i keep writing these gigantic emails talking about cool stuff we do, but
it's hard to present it to thew old so even though I used to hate web
design, i had fun and dove into jQuery for the sake of the team
You can hack it or add to it:
https://github.com/sudoroom/sudoRoom-Projects-Landing-page
these pages are by no means permanent, but making stuff …
[View More]clear and pretty
is a good way to entice people to join in on projects
I'd love to see the MRI and health records stuff get going, i just don't
have time to do it all myself!

Goddammit ... do you know I hate web design! I really hate it! but i know
one area we can improve on is marketing.
I would much rather we working on making a mobile app this morning but I
did it for the team. Just kidding. I made a landing page for the MRI project
https://github.com/sudoroom/MRI-Art-Landing-Page
we should probably do this more to get people who are remote / far way to
join in .. and to toot our own horn! ;)
I'll get back to …
[View More]3D printing... when I have time... argh...

this rps collective / berkeley museum video is very charming
- One of their zine workshops was to have everyone write a letter to
their hometown
