August 1st - Hackerspaces Roaming art walk starting at the Kara Walker exhibit at SF Moma

by Romy Ilano

We are announcing a new "let's get out of the room" event where we walk around art galleries exploring the math in art. This is a collaboration between Noisebridge and SudoRoom, but since we are on lu.ma now we are attracting people who I think are not part of our hackerspaces. This is a nice way to get folks to learn about hacking! Sign up at: https://lu.ma/vlirnlc8 https://sudoroom.org/events/hackerspace-roaming-art-walk-walking-meetup/ *Theme: Where is the math in art? <https://sudoroom.org/events/hackerspace-roaming-art-walk-walking-meetup/>* SudoRoom <https://sudoroom.org/morning-math-telenovela-parte-1-precision-globes-and-t…> and Noisebridge <https://www.noisebridge.net/> hackerspaces will be converging on the SF Moma during *Downtown San Francisco First Thursdays <https://www.dftsf.com/>* to interweave math, life, art and more! Schedule We'll begin at the SF Moma the new Kara Walker installation Fortuna and the Immortality Garden (Machine) <https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/fortuna-and-the-immortality-garden-machin…>, which is in part inspired by science fiction writer Octavia Butler's novels *Parable of the Sower <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Sower_(novel)>* and *Parable of the Talents <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Talents_(novel)>*. The piece is on view at the SF Moma, which is is free for Bay Area residents <https://www.sfmoma.org/free-days/#first-thursdays>on the first Thursday each month! We could start by talking about how *mathematical ways of thinking* resemble and differ from the "Earthseed" philosophy <https://godischange.org/the-book-of-the-living/> from the* Parable* books, which the narrator at one point describes like this: *I’m trying to speak—to write—the truth. I’m trying to be clear. I’m not interested in being fancy, or even original. Clarity and truth will be plenty, if I can only achieve them. If it happens that there are other people outside somewhere preaching my truth, I’ll join them. Otherwise, I’ll adapt where I must, take what opportunities I can find or make, hang on, gather students, and teach.* [image: image.jpeg] ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

What if we could make science and tech exhibits for adults not kids at SudoRoom

by Romy Ilano

Due to funding there are no good science museums in the Bay Area or California in general that are fun for adults! They are mostly geared to kids and parents for some reason I propose we create mini science exhibits aimed at people 18 and above! Let’s create the science museum exhibit that is not geared for teaching kids’ let’s make it as complex or simple as we want it to be … just make it for adults !

by Romy Ilano

https://lu.ma/c4oqkxnv https://sudoroom.org/events/women-nonbinary-hack-night-2024-07-22/ This evening we'll have a cool guest, Jade, who will talk about some fun advanced topics on the *Rust Programming Language* with our wonderful speaker Jade, a passionate Rust enthusiast! On RUST This evening we'll do a deep dive on* algebraic data types*! ADTs are a hot new computer science concept *("new" == from the '90s )* which Rust uses to make its representation of data... *Plan for the evening:* *T*alk about the theory of algebraic data types (struct as product, tagged enum as sum) Visual learning for basic sum types (Option and Result) Let's put it into practice! Group design effort for a Result for an example application. We guarantee it will be fun even if you aren't a big rust programmer. See https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Rust <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Rust> *also:** You can also hack on stuff like audio sound engineering, sewing, or other cool things during and after the talk! You don't have to code because this is the hack night not the "coding only" night!* https://sudoroom.org/events/wnb-coding-night-2-2023-08-28/ About Us The Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons, invites all Women/NB people for “WNB Coding/Hacking Night”: bring your computer and a coding project and have fun! We can help each other if you have coding/hacking-related questions/bugs or just keep company while hacking! If you are a beginner, we can help you get started (even if you’ve never coded before!). And if you’re an intermediate programmer looking for a challenge, we can help you find problems to work on. No computer? No problem: we can provide one for the night. Coders/Hackers of all abilities are welcome! All coding languages are welcome! Bringing a WNB friend is highly recommended. Join in person if you’re in Oakland Every Monday from 7pm to 9pm Pacific Time Sudo Room at Omni Commons 4799 Shattuck Avenue – Oakland Ring the bell when you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and someone will open for you. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Greet for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic tonight?

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: We successfully repaired Joshua’s air mattress last week at Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night! This week we have one person signed up with an internet radio (see https://bit.ly/itemcheckins) and we typically get lots of walk-ins too. Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to go and what to do. So can someone try to arrive early say, 7:30 or so to greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get them started on their projects? Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the sidewalk. Many thanks, -Peter

Thinking about switching to lu.ma for the meetup.com page what do you think?

by Romy Ilano

https://lu.ma/2llyntn4 The meetup.com page is costing $45 a month... not sure how useful it is compared to lu.ma, which most other meetups are switching to. What do you guys think? I'm probably going to turn off the meetup.com page and go there, in the bay area it's all lu.ma lately since they have a free tier. we should be putting our main meetup stuff on our wordpress blog and not rely on a platform... ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Hi Sudoers: You / any sudomesh people here might be interested in this $15M grant that OaklandUndivided just got from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). https://www.oaklandundivided.org/news/cpuc-awards-oakland-15m-broadband-inf… Maybe we (sudomesh?) should offer to work with OaklandUndivided? If there is a separate sudomesh-related list: please forward this to that list. Sincerely, -Peter
