I'm psyched to return to Hardware Hacking Tuesdays!

by Romy Ilano

It's been so long! I'm going to show up a little early - Got 1 person from the (dead) Virtual Reality /AR group at Noisebridge to come (tentative) He's new in town and actually working on his own AR / neurology headset - Getting 2 people who are collaborating on AI to come, one of them actually has a Quest Headset - I have my own Augemnted reality projects related to light projection as well. Think I might make an effort to bring one of the light projectors to NB! What have you been working on this week? ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Upcoming night this Tuesday hardware hacking night - strictly light projection for me!

by Romy Ilano

Here's my only project I'm interested in at SudoRoom! https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Romyilano#Bestest_Most_Current_Things Sorry, no time to listen to people make presentations on stuff going on outside of sudoroom! No things where I have to click on a link to see some kind of project. no presentations! no powerpoints! No involvement in anything that is not light projection! No multimedia room even, just don't got time for it. My only involvement is going to be working on a hardware hack project and learning. I'm bringing the VR and AR folks over, and maybe some AI Folks! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Next Tuesday hardware hack night - themed VR + AI as well!

by Romy Ilano

Hey, I haven't been able to come by SudoRoom in a while! Next tUesday hardware hack night I invited folks from the VR and AR community as well as some cool AI folks to come by. I've been going to a lot of hackathons, and I want to promote the "stay gold" vibe by inviting folks to a space. https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/300064981/ I guess if you know anyone who has a VR headset especially, that would be really cool! We can also check out the robot and update the wiki. I'm debating bringin my light projector (actually the sudoroom light proejctor) I'll check with jake but looking into installing something permanently in the balcony. ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Re: [omni-consensus] Safe space bans on both Ian and Trevor

by Toan Nguyen

Hey everyone, Earlier today I've met with several Omni volunteers and touched on this topic. After meeting with volunteers I initiated a conversation with Trevor. Our chat was mutual and it helped us understand the situation more. *I have requested to Trevor that he temporarily stay away from Omni and take that time to process and reflect on his reaction for assaulting Ian.* *Trevor was receptive to leave and stay away from Omni for a one week period begining today.* *(April 6 - April 13)* For clarity - this is a modified safer space ban and I did not include any mediations nor did I felt the need to escort him out of Omni. This ban was initiated as an individual Omni volunteer and not on behalf of East Bay Food Not Bombs.

URGENT: Omni needs a $120k loan

by Jake

Hi everyone. The Omni Commons, the building that sudo mesh co-owns with sudo room, Counter Culture Labs, Food not Bombs and several other collectives just had a private lender back out of a loan last minute and now it cannot pay its $120k property taxes due tomorrow. If anyone is willing to lend us $120k, even if it's for just three months until we to sort out another loan, please contact me. This needs to happen before tomorrow at 4 pm pacific time. The loan would be secured by the building as a second mortgage so it should be fairly low risk. -jake

The third place space

by Romy Ilano

I don’t know if we could call this marketing, but there are a lot of private venture funded social spaces popping up. Being biased I find ours is much more genuine and interesting. Rethinking how we can talk about Sudoroom online into other people as a cool third space https://apple.news/AM2lkHk68QpefU7HNB8xpsg Sent from my iPhone

I just sent a notice to the SF Shut up and write group

by Romy Ilano

https://www.meetup.com/shutupandwritesfo/ I just sent a notice to the SF shut up and write group. Our space would be ideal for this kind of event! I can also note that we have tons of food in walking distance nearby! I'm actually pretty busy this month so this wouldn't start for a while, but let's get the ball rolling --- Hey folks - at the SudoRoom hackerspace in Oakland Temescal (next to the MacArthur BART) we have a lot of creative events. I'd be interested in hosting an in-person shut up and write alongside an online event. We have the gear to share to televise the live space. It's a big creative hackerspace with a sewing / materials workshop downstairs. There are also robots and electronics equipment as well. Thursdays, Sundays and Fridays are open https://sudoroom.org ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
