UC Berkeley events started - starting up "sudoRoom" field trips so we can be inspired by lectures,

by Romy Ilano

https://events.berkeley.edu/events/event/260794-refactoring-cs-education-in… oh yeah! UC Berkeley just started session and i was thinking of doing a SudoROom field trip and coffee for all the folks in the upcoming semester - 1. i think the idea is "be inspired at UC Berkleey" then take your i nspiration back to sudoroom or noisebridge and hack on something 2. [11:39 AM] there's nice stuff like this which was yesterday! https://events.berkeley.edu/events/event/260794-refactoring-cs-education-in… Stay tuned ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Fwd: [Admin Copy] Events this week at SudoRoom Hackerspace

by Romy Mimi Ilano

Meet Real People Solving Real Prroblems Most of our events are in-person, with little pressure to share LinkedIn profiles or go 100% transactional. We favor doing things with our hands, solving problems by coming up with solutions on the fly, and learning face to face instead of through screens. Virtually none of our events have slides either.

Fwd: [Host Copy] Looking forward to a short but sweet remote meetup

by Romy Mimi Ilano

We're starting this in an hour with some UX designers - it's going to be super short, but I think ti'd be fun to have an in-person ux workshops at some point at the omni and sudoroom. *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com>* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Romy Ilano <noreply(a)luma-mail.com> Date: Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 3:22 PM Subject: [Host Copy] Looking forward to a short but sweet remote meetup To: <romy.ilano(a)gmail.com> Thanks, looking forward to a short but sweet remote call!

If this link doesn't work we will resort to zoom. https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles This will mostly be around brainstorming in-person UX meetups in our space in Oakland. Any online meetups will be purely for brainstorming and directing energy to in-person meetups. Non-Profit Mission Note that *SudoRoom is a non-profit*, so we limit promoting for-profit companies such as Artificial Intelligence startups, etc. And since our mission is to serve Oakland I am focusing a lot of the brainstorming topics to enrich our awesome, diverse city, which is the best example of American values and definitely has a small-town feel that is completely lost in most of US suburbia. While we're poor, we are sexy. I have spoken to other folks, and for-profit hackathons or corporate meet-ups simply do not have interesting UX collaborations as they are not a priority there. I've noticed that tech meetups unfortunately default to treating UX designers are photoshop jockeys who are there to make pretty screens and not much else. Since we're a social good non-profit it is possible to make really kickass UX however you want, which is actually good in the long run for UX Designers' portfolios! Speculative design is an option. We just ask that we keep the focus on non-profit tools and on social good as that's part of our mission. Slides Slides exist to be ignored and make us fall asleep but I made some here in case we have to go beg for funding.

brief remote event 8/30 - DESIGN YOUR OWN MUSEUM EXHIBIT WITH OPEN-SOURCE BLENDER

We will be using open-source tools such as Blender for this quick online meetup and hope to move it to in-person! See our Wiki 3DModelling <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/3D_Modeling> which we’ll be updating as the week goes on. EXHIBITS FOR ADULTS There’s a lack of museum exhibits, especially for science, targeted primarily at adults. That’s unfortunate since adults are responsible for voting on stuff that can include climate change, destruction of the environment, and designing streets that are deadly and hit little kids with big SUVs. Why don’t we make some exhibits just for adults, the kids are all right and know what’s up, but we have to make the adults understand that the world needs to improve and become a better place for all! See our Wiki:ScienceForAdults <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ScienceForAdults>which we’ll be updating this week. BRIEF ONLINE LONG IN-PERSON MEETUPS This is a brief online overview in preparation of an in-person, non-hybrid event at our wonderful hackerspace in Oakland, SudoRoom! Because it’s always much better to meetup face to face without screens. LEARN MORE ABOUT PAST EVENTS This is a continuation of the Dioramas Hack Night: We are not Coconuts <https://sudoroom.org/dioramas-at-sudoroom-hack-night-preparation-we-are-not…>meetup we had earlier in the month. We will be creating a private online link closer to the meetup date! *Flyer Credit:** Oakland Museum of California **History of California Exhibit <https://museumca.org/on-view/gallery-of-california-history/>** on Chinese Railroad Workers* ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

hacker food isn't only about pizza and junk - introducing dabi kolo

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/dabo-kolo-ethiopian-hacker-snacks/ OUR LOCAL ETHIOPIAN BODEGA DOWN THE STREET HAS THESE HEALTHY DELICIOUS DABO KOLO SNACKS! Hacker snacks aren’t only chips, pizza and junk food! At our recent hardware hack night we had some super-healthy Dabo Kolo fried dough snacks from our bodega next door. It’s an Ethiopian place down the street that has a cute cat and sells injera (we’ll be talking to them more in further blog posts). These dabi kolo fried dough snacks have less than five ingredients and they are all real, so they pass the Michael Pollan “Is it real food?” test! <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/IMG_1677-1.jpeg> <https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/image.jpeg> Incidentally, the city of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia just built a huge metro rail line <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Addis_Ababa_Light_Rail>, the first in Africa I think? There’s nothing more cyberpunk than public transportation! We are down the street from the MacArthur BART and next to two bike share stations run by Bay Wheels as well. There are over 20,000 folks from Ethiopia and Eritrea in Oakland <http://At our recent hardware hack night we had some super-healthy Dabo Kolo fried dough snacks from our bodega next door. It's an Ethiopian place down the street that has a cute cat and sells injera (we'll be talking to them more in further blog posts).>. This is a place where you can get Ethiopian coffee, injera bread, and authentic meals along with all sorts of healthy sweets and snacks. OAKLAND RULES BECAUSE IT’S SMALL TOWN AMERICA AT ITS BEST *We love Oakland,* and being physically located in the most diverse, warmest and most all-American small town vibe place in the entire United States is something that SudoRoom hackerspace is proud of. While we’re proud to be part of the hacker community, we aren’t “just another” hackerspace. While Oakland has problems, it is also the most unique and interesting place in California in our opinions, with a wealth of talent. Unlike most places in America, it’s easy to walk or bike past dozens of locally owned businesses, so SudoRoom and Oakland Temescal have a small-town mainstreet feel you wouldn’t find in other places in the USA. You really get to know the local business owners here in a way that’s simply not possible in the other cities with more clean-cut reputations. And our local businesses aren’t *only *centered around yoga studios and chain store coffee shops – Oakland has Korean grocery stores visited by real working class Korean folks, same with the Yemeni and Ethiopian and Eritrean grocery stores. We’re down the street from the East Bay Center for Reuse <https://www.creativereuse.org/> where teachers get discounted art supplies*(gee, I wish they didn’t have to spend their own money to teach kids but that’s another matte. At least they are still teaching art and not some soulless corporate multiple choice STEM module like in other places in the USA)* and hardcore Korean noodle joints.
