The serial numbers have been submitted to Fremont Unified School
District IT so the Chromebooks can be de-provisioned from Google
Enterprise Enrollment. After that they can have their write-protect
screws removed and any alternative OS (Linux-based, probably) can be
installed.
I'd love if Sudoroom would build out a practice to help students and
residents remove write protection, install an alternative OS, and
empower them to get the most out of that alternative OS.

Subject: [sudo-discuss] 4/19/23 Meeting (Jonathan)
To: SudoRoom <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org>
We didn't exactly have much of a meeting tonight, but progress was still
made.
- We talked about what to do with the recent influx of Chromebooks that
came in. Most of them currently cannot be used because the Fremont
School District hasn't de-authorized them yet, so they're hard locked to
those Google Accounts, and can't even be properly wiped. This may
resolve itself soon, as we were told they would be deauthorized soon.
- Discussions about what OS we want to favor for the laptops we're
giving away were also had...
Hi folks,
I'm working with an art student who's building a neat interactive
experience and needs to use one of these versions of the teensy. Do any of
you happen to have one laying around you're not using?
Thank you,
Anca.

Greetings Sudo Room!
This is your monthly donation invoice. Thank you for stewarding the
commons!

Hi everyone,
You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss
email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.
Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever,
in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email)
ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area
at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and
textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing
machines available. You're also welcome to bring your own machine to have it
checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others.
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/sudo-room-events/
that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and
chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!
-jake
Think some man peed on the floor, it stinks really bad rn. How does Omni
proceed about cleaning that bathroom? Is it SudoRoom responsibility? That
would be a good timing for what Romy proposed, pay for a professional
cleaner.

Tried multiple times today, even tested with other ppl who have card keys
and nothing. Should I just grab another card key with someone?

Hey I had fun at sudoroom hardware hack night
Here's he updated blog post on our "collaboration" with stable diffusion
https://sudoroom.org/stable-diffusion-artist-jam/
It seems to get people so excited! Maybe if people could come along, bring their paintbrushes and jam alongside the stable diffusion prompts it would be a really fun event!
The idea of collaborating with the AI to make art, and also automate some stuff like music (until we get a musician to join our group) was very appealing. We could treat the AI as a sort of jazz group band member, and we can bounce our flesh meat ideas off of it.
I think I sent this already but here's another blog post of the generative
ai stable diffusion adventure
i had a lot of fun bringing a watercolor set to the sudoroom :) and
painting to the prompts
