Hellos,
For those working by the 3D working area here a few notes.
1) For your convenience and to help to clear up some of the extra cables in
the vicinity a 16 port switch has been installed under the 3D Printer
table.
2) All the extra network cables removed from the 3D printing area are now
in the Server area, if you need them.
3) The red and black color electrical cable that was feeding power from the
basement has been relocated. Now the power is coming from the Server Area;
but this should …
[View More]be considered a TEMPORARY solution, since it should be
better to have a formal electrical outlet instead.
Thank you Sierk (he is not in this list yet), for helping; very appreciated
it.
Daniel

Join fellow bio-artists and makers for an afternoon of science nerd arts &
crafts at Counter Culture Labs
<http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/222476592/>. We'll have
some pigmented bacteria and Petri dishes to get creative with, spare lab
plastic and glassware to attack with a glue gun, clear resin to embed
things into, and much more. No prior experience required, but make sure to
bring your creativity!
Come get that whole left-brain/right-brain in a twist. Let's …
[View More]generate and
exchange ideas as we begin to create a bio-art community in the East Bay.
Feel free to bring some extra materials and snacks for yourself and/or to
share.
Check out the fun we had last time we did a Bio+Art session
<http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/photos/19759082/>!
Co-hosted by scientist/maker Jun Axup from SciCouture
<http://scicouture.com/>, and local artist Tracy Jacobs from FunkyAutomata

Possible projects include building virus models from laboratory materials,
playing with optics, making Petri dish necklaces, and more...
Please register through our Meetup page
<http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/222476592/>, so we know
how many people to expect.

To me this just sounds like: "You can't criticize anything I do,
because I'm rich".
In theory, inviting shitty things to Sudo & Omni gives us a big
opportunity to challenge them. But doing that …
[View More]without just getting
co-opted would take a lot of work and struggle and I don't know if we
have the resources for that right now, let alone the risk of failing
to challenge them enough and just being complicit. Also, if we
specifically reject this event and tell them exactly why, and what
kind of things we'd like to see from them in the future, that's also a
way to influence them. If they're really well meaning, they'd listen
and take it to heart. But if all they really care about is money and
prestige, then they'll just smile and move on and we didn't waste all
our time and energy. Not holding my breath, personally.

hey sudoroom & noisebridge

I'm no longer in town but I have something to say.
I think this is a good opportunity to explore. I hear your concerns about
their approach, Ryan. I am particularly irked by the inspirational music in
the video. *shudders*
That said, I would love to take this opportunity to transmit our collective
concerns and critiques to them...call it "hacking their framing". :]
Whether one likes it or not, these folks have a lot of power in shaping
popular technology development and understandings into …
[View More]the future. While we
may not revolutionize Google, we can at least encourage them to do their
bidding in a way that is a little less evil.
I'm happy that they're directly reaching out to hackerspaces, which means
they may take notes. I'm also happy that they're reaching out to us because
our social ecosystem is quite a bit more diverse than theirs and therefore
has more potential for wisdom (I wonder, have they reached out to
Mothership or LOL?). The tech industry (or any business that requires a
steep social capital (whiteness, maleness, ability to work 40+ hours/week,
etc.) in order to have a better (or any) chance at getting employed), after
all, is largely ableist and culturally stagnant. Please excuse my nesting.

Subject: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive
technology hackathon
To: <info(a)sudoroom.org>
Cc:
Dear Sudoroom community,
I'm reaching out from the philanthropic arm of Google, Google.org which
supports non-profits aimed at technical innovation.
In our attempt to expand opportunity and independence for people with
disabilities we have recently …
[View More]launched a campaign
<https://get.google.com/disabilitiesimpactchallenge/open-call.html> aiming
to identify
and support non-profits doing innovative work in the assistive technology
space.
The reason for this email is that in addition to the campaign,we are
thinking of organizing
a hackathon around mid-late august focused on assistive technology using this
event <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_BQzJD9gpo>
as a source of inspiration.
The basic idea is to bring the need-knowers (people with disabilities and
their
families/caregivers) together in the same room with tech folks
(hackers/makers/designers) and develop prototypes for affordable products
that
could serve the needs of the community of people with disabilities.
We thought that the hacker community of Sudoroom might find it
interesting/relevant
and some folks perhaps wish to participate.
We are trying to gauge the level of interest in something like this from
the hacker/maker/developer community.
Thoughts ? Ideas ? What should we think of to make this event more
relevant/interesting to the folks involved ?
With kindest regards,
On behalf of Google.org,
Arie Meir

Subject: [sudo-accounts] Important: No more bank payouts. Action required.
To: Gratipay Support <support(a)gratipay.com>
Greetings!
You're receiving this message because you're one of the nine people
who have been withdrawing money from Gratipay 2.0 directly to your
bank account.
Our provider for bank payouts, Balanced Payments, is going out of
business, and …
[View More]they stopped providing bank payouts last week. We tried
pretty damn hard over the past couple months to migrate to a new
provider for bank payouts, so that we could provide uninterrupted
service for you, but we failed. Sorry. :-(
Our backup plan is PayPal. To maximize the chance that you receive
your payout this week in some fashion, we chose to configure your
Gratipay account to send money via PayPal to the verified email
address we have on file for you—the one you're receiving this email
on—from now on.
Please update the PayPal address on your Gratipay settings page as
necessary, to ensure that we route your payouts properly starting this
Thursday.
If PayPal is not a good option for you, please get in touch and let's
see what we can figure out.
You've been very patient with us throughout the turmoil of the last
couple months. While we can't quite say that we've fully survived the
Balanced shutdown yet (due to its repercussions for us), it's a big
milestone to be processing at all even though Balanced has in fact
started shutting down. Thank you for believing in us as we continue
rebuilding Gratipay! :-)
As always, feel free to reply here privately, or join our public
discussion on GitHub.
