Folks I updated the blog with some new blog posts

by Romy Ilano

Do you have any stories of project syou've worked on and how SudoRoom helped you out? - brainstorming a guide for total newcomers. It should have a flow chart and make it really obvious how to plan your projects, how to ask for help https://sudoroom.org/blog/ We are not "marketing" ourselves well enough for a big advantage that we have - we are nerds who offer an affordable hackerspace with ties to the community. Also holidays are coming up and people will be working on lights decorations for various religions, especially the christian and christian orthodox ones! and new year is a biggie. Has anyone worked on xmas lights before at the SudoRoom / new year's even decorations or costumes? that would be nice to feature on our blog ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

StupidHacks Spiel

by Ethan Hu

I'm inviting y'all to StupidHacks (aka stupid hackathon 9) - attendance wasn't enough to warrant using both NoiseBridge and Sudoroom so it'll be in NoiseBridge only for this semester! Here's the blurb I sent attendees - our slack is at https://join.slack.com/t/stupidhacks8/shared_invite/zt-2tganat7o-1_n3tXhqs3… Also if you know any affordable but good places to cater from (near bart) with a budget of ~$150 please lmk ASAP! <blurb> Welcome to stupidhacks! Please join our stupid slack ASAP! Invites have been sent to your email, but reply if one has not. *Updates will be given regularly there - please turn on notifications*! Check-in instructions for November 17th: The event will be held *on Sunday November 17th, with me departing from UCB ~10AM *at Noisebridge in SF (272 Capp St). 1. To go to Noisebridge, take BART from downtown Berkeley to 16th st. mission. 2. Turn right (towards 17th st) on Capp. *Don't worry about getting lost - at the beginning of the event we will ask early comers to meet at BART! Later attendees may accompany directors as they shuttle catering back and forth.* 3. A link will be released for remote attendees! If you aren't feeling good please only attend remotely! Trust me, the experience is just as good online. Sponsors (mostly parodies of actual startups that sponsor hackathons): 1. "AI" sponsor: Your project should include matrix multiplication or some LinAlg-related joke in addition to wasting energy in general. 2. "Cryptocurrency" sponsor: Any overly convoluted data structures or methods of storing data in general qualify. Wasting power by itself also qualifies. </blurb> Best Regards, -- Ethan Hu (he series) ASUC Senator 412 Eshleman Hall | Berkeley, CA 94720 Associated Students of the University of California <http://www.asuc.org> ethanhu(a)berkeley.edu

fellowship opportunity on open tech for social + environmental research

by unixjazz

Dear sudoers, I’m writing to let you know of a fellowship opportunity for community organizations and researchers working with common technologies for socio-environmental research. The goal of the fellowship is to bring graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and members of community-based organizations with new perspectives to socio-environmental research with open technologies. **Application deadline is Dec. 15, 2024.** The fellowship is designed to: - Encourage translational and integrative work involving social + environmental research with common technologies; - Provide a space for fellows and network members to collaborate on common research issues, challenges, and solutions. Fellows may be: - Graduate students conducting research with open technologies on socio-environmental issues; - Post-docs with existing community projects in Science and Technology Studies, Open Science, and/or Socio-environmental research; and/or - Community practitioners who are interested in integrating common technologies into their environmental justice work. The SEEKCommons project website contains all the necessary fellowship information, including the application link: https://seekcommons.org/fellowship-application.html https://seekcommons.org If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I try to be present every Tuesday at Sudoroom! Best wishes, LF (on behalf of the org. team)

Intro & project

by Tara Odorizzi

Hello! I recently discovered Sudo Room while searching for some support on a project I'm working on, and just became a member. I'm excited this community exists! I'm creating an immersive art project for an event in New York in a couple of weeks. The premise is that participants are traveling between dimensions via an interdimensional travel agency but their mirror selves hijack the service. I am hoping to create a few things, including a voice modulator that I can mount inside a mask and a rumble pack kind of thing that can be attached to the bottom of a chair. I'd like to sync the vibration in the pack to an audio track, along with some lights. I'm a graphic designer by trade with a pretty diverse skillset, but sadly building something like this is not (yet) in my toolbox. I was planning on coming to the event on Tuesday night and would be very very grateful if anyone were willing to help me. In exchange I'd be happy to do a trade or to pay or make you cookies or write you a poem or petsit or teach others something if I can. I know lots of design tools, can paint, draw, and other not so technical things! Thanks for reading and hope to meet you soon. Tara

Tonight: help fix the Toshiba TV

by Peter Mui

Hi sudoers: There’s a Toshiba 55l621U 55” 4K TV in sudoroom I’d like to put in service as the new jitsi and discord telepresence monitor. But it’s currently not working: it flashes on briefly and then goes out. Normally this would indicate a power supply issue, but I’ve done a little online research and some people online claim the problem might be a firmware issue, e.g. see https://forums.tomsguide.com/threads/toshiba-55l621u-wont-turn-on-properly.… Can you do some more online sleuthing and see if you come up with a plan of attack for fixing this TV? And let’s try to put our heads together tonight at sudoroom and get this puppy working: I’ve already got a rolling stand for it. Sincerely, -Peter

North doorway entrance to Omni

by Jake Watters

We've been asked by the new building owners to start using the other doors to enter the building! I'm talking about the double doors on the north side, which open onto the sidewalk of 48th street. We need to fix the outdoor light above that entryway, and clean the area maybe with a power washer, and make the whole doorway more inviting. Volunteers? There is a new web link to buzz those doors open, please email me if you don't have that link yet! -jake
