Hey folks! I've been in and out due to serious health problems, but I'm
hoping to be spending more time at the Omni soon.
However, there's one thing that's really concerning to me...
Since moving into an electric wheelchair for the most part, the delegate's
meeting is rather inaccessible. I understand making the basement accessible
would be a rather large feat and I don't expect it to be done overnight.
However, considering the delegates meetings are such a Big Deal, I was
wondering if we could move them to somewhere folks with wheelchairs can
attend.
But... Severe lack of space, Batman!
I understand the the ballroom isn't always a viable option because having
it reserved every Thursday night isn't opportune. The adjacent rooms are
too small and also not always accessible. La Commune would end up with the
meeting constantly being interrupted and the acoustics aren't great for a
meeting.
Using sudo/CCL might work (cc'ing sudo on this) but then it shuts down
sudo/CCL's ability to have events at this time *and* means people have to
stop hacking.
Another option would be to try and kind of "live cast" the meeting
somewhere else in the building that's accessible, but that brings up two
concerns: weirdly removing disabled folks from the meeting itself into a
kind of segregation, and privacy concerns surrounding recording.
Now that the delegates meeting is only every other week, maybe it is
feasible to have it in the ballroom, and then if we need the ballroom for
something else try and find another space in the building that's wheelchair
accessible before defaulting to the basement.

nice engineering student from Clemson looking for affordable hacker houses
in east bay or sf
Could anyone email me so I could pass his email to you?
the prices are quite high in Berkeley for students ($700 a month) -> does
anyone have suggestions for price friendly places in the East Bay like East
Oakland that are safe and full of cool hackers?

Ok, all should be well now. If you have any trouble please email
sudo-sys(a)lists.sudoroom.org. Thanks!
Hey all,
You are receiving this message on the sudo-discuss mailing list or because
you are listed as a member of the sudo room!
Tonight at our weekly meeting, we discussed and consented on a
clarification of our delegates to the Omni Commons for Sudo Room:
In an effort of improving communication between sudo room members and the
rest of the Omni Commons community (as well as vice-versa), please see that
the following list of folks are currently empowered to act as delegates of
the sudo room to the Omni Commons:
- Brendan Reddy-Best b.d.reddybest(a)gmail.com
- Julio Rios julio.rios(a)gmail.com
- Matt Senate mattsenate(a)gmail.com
- Jenny Ryan tunabananas(a)gmail.com
- Yardena Cohen yardenack(a)gmail.com
If you would like to participate as a delegate for the sudo room to omni
commons, simply:
1. be a sudo room member
2. ask at a sudo room meeting, where a quorum of sudo room members
consents to this proposal
3. be added to the sudo room's omni delegates email list:

Anyone know these folks? They are seriously kicking CCL's butt as most
popular Kickstarter to come out of Oakland right now...
Looks like it's a tiny Linux board, about half the size of a Raspberry Pi,
and much cheaper. Very slick.
They've raised $1.2M in a week so far...

Hi all,
Bit torrent released a p2p messenger today! I know you're the type of crowd
who likes security, so I figured it'd be worth sharing.

I usually do a sketch a day (one sketch a day)
but i always want to play and experiment with code... i never seem to get
around to doing one new code or hack a day which would actually be really
fun!
biggest barrier: distractions, surfing the web, and then:
I think the stuff that stands in the way is: just thinking about it,
setting up my IDE, fear of imperfection, and it takes like about 5-10
minutes of coding to "get into the flow" and start pushing your limits
as a result, i don't code as much as I could even though I really like it.
i really would like to hod more casual hacks every day. have you thought
about this? I'm thinking of starting them on paper the way I do my
drawings. in pseudocode
I remember this was a big problem i had with making comics and I was never
profile
wish i could be more like jake and just be compulsive about it! dang social
media and ADHD! ;)

Innovation Contest 2015.*
The Boca Bearings Company holds this contest which is open for people

mechanically-related projects. All of the projects submitted in
our contest require the use of bearings in their installation.
We had a tremendous response to our contest in 2014, everything from
stroboscopic zoetropes to human powered helicopters and electric go-kart
and micro-kart were submitted -- see the winners here:

project.
If you're interested in participating please let me know.
