Hey sudoers
I'm teaching a web programming class of about 20 high school seniors
(17-18 years old) who live in Oakland. They are primarily people of
color and underprivileged in some way, having reached hardships enough
to find themselves at a continuation high school due to bad grades.
I'd like to bring them on a fieldtrip to sudo room/omni for an hour or
two so they can see the tech, get a tutorial on 3d printers & see one
in action. Maybe if people wanted to show off their projects they're
working on, that'd be cool too!
Anyone interested in this sort of thing?

'The kids call me Special K. Hopefully they just think I'm special'
hey sudoers,
I met a guy named Chris Shaw about a week ago. He is the second person
I've met at the omni who came through because of the East Bay Express
article!!! (:
Chris wants to know if anyone wants to talk with him about the code he's
developed for auto-animating emotions and speech in CGI characters. It's
basically the next level in creating virtual CGI people with very flexible,
self-generating behavior: applications include NPCs in video games (of
course), next-gen conversation bots like AIM's SmarterChild back in the
day, and even therapeutic tools to help autistic children practice emoting.
http://vimeo.com/113120097http://vimeo.com/113571986
the same tech can be used to animate animatronic robots.
He's looking for collaborators to develop applications for this tech. If
anyone's interested in playing with the technology or has questions for Mr.
Shaw, you can contact him at: xophershaw(a)gmail.com !
Howl,
px
Super Cool !!! Very Happy to see this idea materialized.

Let us be together,
Let us eat together,
Let us be vital together,
Let us be radiating truth,
radiating the light of life,
Never shall we denounce anyone,
never entertain negativity. -- The
Upanishads
With 8 hours left to go, some kind soul just topped us off and brought us
to our goal!
Looking forward to the next 6 months making this ship seaworthy with y'all!

We expect to hit the target before midnight just from more
crowdfunding, Ed! If you really want to forgive some debt, we can
forward your email to the finance list, but it' s not necessary to
finish the crowdfunding campaign IMO :)
I know we have a couple of broken TVs in the sudoroom. Does anyone know
if they are solid waste or if they can be fixed?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWzPcDtZZZo
Anyway, I inherited a 32" "Dynex" LCD TV from a deceased friend that I
have no use for if we want to use that instead. It isn't great (720p),
but it works. Should I bring it in or would that just increase ambient
clutter? I think I have a wall mounting bracket for it if we want to
put it somewhere else.

Also, it looks like we're closing in on our Indiegogo target, we're at
about $38,500 of $40k. I hereby excuse $1500 of the geld I guess the
Omni is in the process of repaying me (I advanced some clink for the

that I guess it would be a goodness. No sense in channeling it through
Indiegogo and letting them rake off 6%.

Hello Sudoers!
As you may know, the Omni recently paid the State Farm insurance policies
for all collectives through June 2015. Because our lease requires that all
groups maintain current insurance policies, we decided to pay everyone's
insurance up front rather than risk incurring fines from John Givens due to
accidental lapses in individual policies.
Below is a link to an invoice for Sudo Room's State Farm insurance policy
through June 2015. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
If it would be helpful for you to pay the Omni in monthly installments,
that's fine too. Just let me know what you'd like to do.
Thanks so much!
Sarah + Finances WG
Below please find a link to Invoice #137.
Amount due: $581.46 USD
Due by: 2015-01-28
