Re: [sudo-discuss] sudo-discuss Digest, Vol 27, Issue 4

by Brendan

Wanted to shoot off a quick reply before passing out. I have a shipment of those driver chips at the post office that I need to pick up, but since that's not going to be a viable solution-- I do feel a certain amount of responsibility and while I do not currently have cash this week i would probably be able to finance this in a week or two. Let me discuss the purchase with my partner before i commit though.

Message-ID: <CAF2ed1PMAuGjsGZ3jpYHDYt3YmMuF+cwoKGUkzm_jRuHfAB1oA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi all, The full spectrum laser cutter I brought to the hacker pace has been out of service for some time, after Brendon's attempt to fix its loose keyswitch ended in board-popping disaster. (Shit happens, **but ermehgawd always remove power before fixing circuits guize**) Anyway, I bought some new stepper motor drivers to replace the burnt ones on the controller, but unfortunately there seems to be more wrecked with it than just that simple fix. I'd love to get this thing working for the community, though, that's a bit hard with no brains for the machine. A new board from full spectrum is $1500, but I contacted them with a "we're a poor hackerspace" card and they'd be willing to replace it for $250 if I mail in the old controller, which I feel is within raise-able reach. This would give us full access to their software suite / print driver, and a reliable machine. The other option, suggested by rayc is to use an arduino, stepper controllers and a g-code generating toolchain to run the machine. While I don't see any reason why that couldn't work, I feel like that might be a bit awkward for people who wish to use the cutter, and further makes the guide I wrote kind of useless. http://hack.rit.edu/tools/full-spectrum-laser-cutter/ As a community, what do y'all believe is best?

24 hour bans in place for Elliot and Rayc.

by Maximilian Klein

Please be advised that there was an altercation in sudo room today. I gathered that there may have been a person who might have seemed like they were walking away with a sudoers' headphones. When I came to the hear what the noise was about, I saw Elliot and Rayc arguing with a person I didn't know. It was accused that Elliot physically tried to stop this person from leaving in a potentially violent way. That person who had the headphones, was not a member and was not vouched for. I asked that headphone-person to leave, which was difficult, so I asked Elliot and Rayc to leave the building if they wanted to continue their discussion with the person I was trying to ask to leave. I'm not sure if Elliot and Rayc are sudo members. If they are not, then I think through an Omni-ban bylaws them being asked to leave should extend for 24 hours -as I understand it. Time effective 1:30 pm on Jan 8. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Can you help with more 3D Scans of Omni Friday 1/9 at 6pm-9pm?

by David Keenan

Hey all! So, Erik Strals - who made the 3D scans of the Omni ballroom & Sudo Room - is coming back tomorrow (Friday 1/9) at 6pm, to do more 3D scanning of omni! Erik can't do this by himself - at least two peoples need to be on hand to help Eric with the following basic tasks: - Temporarily blocking off entry to all rooms to be scanned, so no one walks through in the middle of a scan - Do a basic clean up of the rooms to be scanned so the preserved-for-ever 3D view is not of a dumpy mess Rooms to be scanned this round are: La Commune Disco Room, TIL & Den Basement As many other 'little rooms' / offices we can get to -- TIL: Can we make sure your room is open/unlocked? LC: We will probably want to pull down the tarps, put some books out and perhaps clean up a bit to make the space look nice? Best! David

Add our lawyer to the sudoroom github org, so that they can draft our agreement in the open?

by Maximilian Klein

I'm not an admin on the account, so I can't do this, but I think it's worthwhile- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kyle Mitchell <kyle(a)kemitchell.com> Date: Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [sudo-taxes] Introduction To: "taxes(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <taxes(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Apologies for the delay. I've had a think on the engagement letter, and have decided to be ok with hashing it out in the open. It's very unusual to do it that way, but I take it Sudo's not much into orthodoxy for its own sake. Neither am I, frankly. Can someone add me (@kemitchell) to the GitHub org?

new members

by yar

I am so excited at how many new members we've been getting! I heard that tonight there were *fifteen* new member applicants! Back in the fall, we wrote a script for new member applications: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/New_Member_Script I've been taking an extended break from Sudoroom organizing for self care reasons, but I still care a lot about the community and culture of our space. I think they are the most unique and important things about Sudoroom. That is why we added questions like: * What do you think about Sudoroom's values? * What do you know about Sudoroom's history? I notice that a couple months ago we edited the script to make these questions *optional*, and from reading the meeting notes, it's not clear that any of our new members is being asked these questions! Do most people feel like these are less important? Am I the only one?

NO UNATTENDED CANDLES / FLAMES IN OMNI PLEASE

by David Keenan

As has been seen by others, I saw this last night on the stage and this is not ok. A large candle on a piece of marble in the center of the stage. Whomever has been leaving candles burning, please stop. Does anyone know who this is? More importantly, if anyone sees a burning candle or other flame unattended please put it out immediately? This is a basic safety and fire issue. FWIW I saw one other new-looking candle in a large glass jar being stored in the upstairs stage-right room (audio production room) so whomever is setting these candles alight seems to be storing them there. Whomever wants to burn candles please speak up or talk to the commons group Thank you! -d

Health and Life Extension Project

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, I am a Sudoroom member working on putting up a website which will start a major movement to accelerate health and life extension research (stem cells, nanotechnology, The Human Genome Project, tissue engineering, etc.) Mainstream scientists are saying aging and disease will be totally conquered in about 200 years. Why should those of us now alive be left out? We were on the moon in eight years; we had the atomic bomb in three years from nothing but a theory. Scientific research can be speeded-up. We also need to move quickly to evolve humanistically so we can handle the coming changes. And, we need to make sure that poor people and poor countries benefit equally, and at the same time, that the more affluent do. These are the goals of the movement. We would very much appreciate a volunteer who can help with putting up a website (or perhaps help in other ways). If our project interests you, let me know by email. Have a funny day. Best, Ira Brightman
