Amongst other cool things, I volunteer as a mentor for HAXLR8R, a 3-month incubator progam.
Groups that are accepted into the program for their cool hardware project idea:
* receive some tens of thousands of dollars in return for a small percentage of their company
* live in Shenzhen China for 3 months
* get workspace and access to the way cool tools at the HAXLR8R facilities
* get training from a wide variety of volunteer mentors (who are professionals with diverse experience)
* get help with funding and starting a business
* get connected to all of the resources necessary to make their project into a real product in the market.
Everything you need.
It's pretty awesome.
At the end of the 3 months, everyone goes to San Francisco for the big Demo Day, with lots of media attention.
Many successful (and very different) products have come from HAXLR8R, including Spark, and Nomiku.
If you have a project that you would like to turn into a product, and make a living doing what you love, maybe HAXLR8R could be helpful for you.
The next 15 project groups (HAX 7) moves to Shenzhen (for 3 months) starting in *July*!
The application deadline: *May 23*.
Funding: up to *$100,000*.
If you apply early, your chances of getting accepted are higher (less competition). Your project doesn't need to be perfect (or anywhere close) to apply.

Please feel free to ask me any questions off-list.
Best,
Mitch.

Happy to see you there if you can make it. I have lots of other stuff that
I will probably give you if you need it that I won't be pulling out for the
sale. Swing by and ask if you think I've got something you could use.
Love and solidarity,
Matt
p.s. This is step 1 of moving out of my current house by May 1 :( oh well!
;)
Somebody asked info(a)sudoroom.org if they could donate through PayPal.
Is this something we want to do?
If so, has somebody already done it?
If not, who wants to do it?
found this on craigslist for FREE!!!
Up for grabs 200 sq. ft. of solid maple reclaimed gym flooring!
This flooring was sourced from a high school gym in Tacoma, WA and is
around 75 years old.
All nails and staples have been completely removed; some residual glue is
still present.
The boards are 2 1/2" wide by 3/4" thick. The lengths vary between 1 to 5
feet. The floor will need to be sanded after installation.
Local pickup, by the buyer, only.

all done!
Doc and a friend of his came by today. I told him he couldn't come back
until he'd spoken with someone, as planned, about inflammatory comments he
was making in the space.
I asked if he'd met with Matt as planned and he said he'd been sick and
unable to meet. Just as a point of information, the day he was supposed to
meet Matt I saw him at 51st and MLK.
He said he'd be back tonight for Sudo's meeting.

It's at maybe the worst possible time (6pm tonight) but there's
nothing we can do about it. We'll try to make it as quick & smooth as
possible.

Subject: Linode Support Ticket 4254236 - Critical Xen Maintenance /
Reboot Schedule
Hello,
Linode recently received several Xen Security Advisories (XSAs) that
require us to perform updates to our host servers. In order to apply
the updates, hosts and the Linodes running on them must be rebooted.
The XSAs will be publicly released by the Xen project team on March
10th, therefore we must complete the updates before that date.
These updates are required to protect the security and safe operations
of not only our infrastructure, but yours as well. We understand that
a disruption with such limited notice is inconvenient, and we hope you
understand that these measures are warranted due to the severity of
the XSAs.
Your Linodes have been assigned a maintenance window in which a reboot
will occur. These times are listed within the Linode Manager[1] in the
timezone set in your user's My Profile[2]. Your schedule in UTC
timezone is as follows:
* 2015-03-06 2:00:00 AM UTC - sudoserver
During the maintenance window Linode instances will be cleanly shut
down while we perform the updates. Your Linode will be inaccessible
during this time. A two-hour window is allocated, however the actual
downtime can be much less. After the maintenance, each Linode will
then be booted. See our Reboot Survival Guide[3] for tips and hints on
configuring and testing that your Linode services boot properly after
the maintenance.
Unfortunately, due the logistical demands of this effort, your
assigned windows are not changeable and the host reboots are
mandatory.
For general information, please see our status post:

Please let us know if there is anything we can do to assist.
