Hosting an event at Sudo: How to create a community bank with your friends online Nov 27th 6 PM

by Alex White

Hello Sudo Room! I have been by the Sudo Room a few times now and love the space and really appreciate what a great resource it is. I would like to host an event at the Sudo Room about how to create a community bank online using puddle.com. Puddle is a website where you can create your own autonomous community bank. I met the co-founder of the company and he would like to come do a presentation and Q&A. (I'm just helping him find a space, and thought Sudo would be great.) I've never put … [View More]

hoping for more transparency and inclusiveness around all the exciting developments

by Anthony Di Franco

I've been very busy and haven't made the time to come by sudo room for quite a while but I did last night and it was great to see familiar faces again. I'm also looking forward to meeting the people I've only seen on the list so far, and to congratulating people in person on all their hard work in keeping sudo room moving forward! And to being able to participate more in person in the future. I've been feeling out of touch with what's going on, especially after the drafting of the successful … [View More]

Art Murmur After Party/Proposal/Planning/Properly/Promoter/Perhaps

by Phuckin' Phylean

Greetings Programs, The last party went pretty swimmingly for only being thrown together at the last moment. Just a week to plan ain't much in the nightclub industry but stranger things have happened that were successful but usually only on dumb luck! So, lets do the next one a little bigger, which means a little better planning and promoting equals a lot better partying and probably paying off for all involved in the long run. So, we need a small staff to run this smoothly, safely, and … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] 3D Printer - needs new heating element

by Jake

Hol, you forgot to put any text in your post at all! please be clear of how you came to this conclusion. The heating element is a resistor glued into a block of metal on the end of the extruder. It has two wires which go to a connector a couple inches from it, and they go back to the machine. To test the heating element, one can unplug this connector and use a multimeter to measure its resistance. It should be something like 8 ohms, i don't know the exact value but 100 is too much … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudo Room Wiki/Wordpress beautification hack day

by Vicky Knox

Updates to the wiki! I began work on the wiki by categorizing pages so that they can eventually be clustered into single page portals and/or menus (similar to the Quick Links the main Mesh group page has <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh>). I started by going through All Pages < https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages> one-by-one, and categorized articles as Projects < https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Category:Projects>, subcategory Food Hacking < https://… [View More]

Sudo Room's Values, Participation, etc

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I've been thinking about some things and wanted to share a few thoughts: Reflecting on this: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Values I'm of the disposition that sudo room as a collective values "open, public discourses over closed proprietary processes" and I believe in good faith that this is held and executed by sudoers generally. I appreciate when folks want to offer positive acknowledgements, suggestions for improvement, and support to fellow community members. I … [View More]also think that sudoers generally practice "do-ocracy over bureaucracy" with an added element of "access and transparency over exclusivity" in order to help that do-ocracy remain accountable and enable us to "solve real problems over hypotheticals, while respecting visions of the future." Ultimately, it is my perspective that sudo room's various participants are interested in acting based on "community and collaboration over isolation and competition" not the other way around. I do not think things are perfect, but I think by and large folks do a good job of these things and everyone is interested in improving. >From this point of view, I would like to express my excitement and encouragement for folks to reach out in various ways to add value to sudo room, and also to share and communicate at appropriate times. I firmly believe that the work executed on a recent topic, a particular grant application <http://soex.org/alternativeexposure/>, was appropriate, and that while a message indeed would have been fine or even nice, ultimately, it was brought to everyone's attention at the right time--just before it was due seeking help and when it was confirmed that sudo would actually be a recipient of funds. I barely even remember working on it--I believe I gave some feedback or something, or perhaps was distracted by something else, I don't know. To be honest, applying to grants can feel like a game of chance, so I didn't put emotional stock into it. In other words, I personally don't see any problem with folks reaching out on their own in order to add value to sudo room, especially when information is brought to light when the value-add is actually feasible or even confirmed. For instance, I think it's a great efficiency that Marc found a craigslist post for a free, modern, color printer, reached out to the poster, confirmed the pickup, picked it up, dropped it off at noisebridge, returned with a car to retrieve it from noisebridge, hauled it upstairs, cleaned the walkway area adjacent to the elevator, ran an ethernet cable, installed shelves, and plugged in the printer itself. It is unnecessary for him to have said anything about this for it to be a value-consistent value-add to sudo room. It could be nice, even advantageous to post it--maybe someone could have picked it up from noisebridge on their way home?--but in the end, it doesn't matter, and now this great resources is available for us to share and use. This to me is do-ocracy, and the minutia of timing the communication is less important if there is nothing to lose. Applying to grants gives us absolutely nothing to lose. I say: reach out. // Matt [View Less]
