yar mates,

will be permanently installed in the omni ballroom, maybe some switches
too.
we're broke right now, an 8 channel relay/dimmer
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/360717697832> is arriving next tuesday (no time to
order from china neway), 3 mega 2560s arrived today and we are almost done
with a months long soundwall installation.

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. 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 ->

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 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 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*
