Hi all,
SudoInfo just received this email about an upcoming November event.
Is anyone interested in attending this event?
I'm interested in popping in and at least seeing what it's about.
I would be willing to go as a Sudo ambassador (to at least make contact
with the group/s who put this together) if no one else is interested/ free.

Hello Sudo Room,
We're students at the School of Information and we're putting on a Social
Innovation Hackathon on November 21st. We're trying to get the word out in
order to encourage students from all different backgrounds to participate.
We would appreciate if you could circulate this within your organization.
Thanks,

We are happy to announce the 2nd annual Social Innovation Hackathon,
presented by IMSA! This year we are partnering with Heifer International
who will provide real-world challenge sets that support their mission: *"To
work with communities to end world hunger and poverty and to care for the
Earth." *Visit the event website here
<http://socialinnovationhackathon.com/>
Heifer International is a non-profit working to end world hunger and
poverty through sustainable agriculture and community development programs.
This Hackathon will draw on the range of talents of participants in order
to help Heifer address some real-world challenges of their work.
The organizing committee is working closely with Heifer to curate a set of
well-defined challenge statements to maximize information availability, and
the impact that a 24-hour event can have. Participants will have access to
subject-matter experts, real datasets, in addition to the basics: Wi-fi,
meals, snacks, caffeine, and a dedicated nap room.

Add another projector? Did BAPS get another one? :)
I really would love to see an Omni-wide inventory management system that
has an integrated reservation protocol, which would help streamline aspects
of events like this. Unfortunately, this would be a lot of work to maintain
(I'm told).
So for now, I think having an online database with all of Omni's (and it's
collectives') open access tools/machines/etc with contact info for each is
the best way to go.
I.e. Sending a direct email or text to whomever owns/stewards the
tool/machine someone wishes to use, and the owner/steward keep track of the
item's calendar.
It's what people have already been doing, but I still see that there is
confusion around the topic.
I hope this helps a bit, but we ought to solidify this process into a
version that's more accessible to everyone.

Hello!
The Omni needs funds. Dia de los Muertos is a thing. We would like to
introduce new people to the space and expand our community.
I have attached a flyer for a possible event, a funky transhumanist/Dia de
los Muertos themed costume ball. Should this happen? Is there a reason
anyone would like to block?
Also, steampunk zombies! Mechanical corpses! Post-singularity glittery
things covered in LEDs! Ordinary awesome humans!

If anyone remembers this "reporter" please contact Haley at
samarasteele(a)gmail.com
--------begin snip------
I meet a reporter at the Unconference a few weeks ago who expressed to
me that his "beat" is worker's co-ops. He gave me his card, but I seem
to have lost it.
If either of you knows the reporter I'm talking about, would you mind
forwarding that last email on to him? It would be great to have him at
the meeting tonight!
Thank you so much!!

Hi,
Reaching out because I saw you have a company / organization related to 3D
printing, makers, etc.
Wanted to let you know about the newly launched 3D Printing Ecosystem map
<http://www.inside3dp.com/global-3dprinting-map/>. Would love for you to
add your place to the map (simply click add your company in top right of the
map <http://www.inside3dp.com/global-3dprinting-map/>.)
Let me know if you have any questions.
- Ben
dear friends :
we need a reliable PA setup for the alette in oakland event this weekend, oct 24-26, at the omni.
if anyone at sudo would be willing to supply us with a PA and/or potentially help run sound for this event, would you please backchannel me ?
thanks so much !
love -- david brazil
At tonight's weekly Sudoroom meeting, we had a long conversation
brainstorming new ways to arrange the space. A lot of it hinges on
uncertainty about the robot arm. A while back we agreed it would move
against the west wall, but it hasn't happened yet. What are the
current plans for the robot? What needs to happen for it to move? How
can people help? Thanks!
Hi friends,
So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more
people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the
needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom.
Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make
an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in
joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week!
It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other
community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit
from learning what you all know.
For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the
activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and
would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on
robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay
Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll
show up :)
Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where
to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help.
Ever upward,
April
