Re: [sudo-discuss] Possible new sudo space

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Is this the best context to wrestle with the big questions of gentrification, oppression based on race or ethnicity, etc? What if the conversation was focused, honed in on more tangible questions? Can anyone present us with some good insight and analysis based on evidence of contemporary gentrification, the east bay, Oakland, and the neighborhoods in question? What are the implications for commercial renters and social change organizations like sudo room? Can anyone find a presenter for a sudo room weekly meeting so we can learn more? By the way, Shake Anderson is planning to share the story of saving from foreclosure Liberty Hall in West Oakland at 7:30 at the sudo meeting on Wednesday. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Sonja Trauss" <sonja.trauss(a)gmail.com> To: "Pete Forsyth" <peteforsyth(a)gmail.com> Cc: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Possible new sudo space Date: Tue, Nov 26, 2013 10:58 Just because that's the usual context for gentrification. "pretty mixed" in that context meant in the interests and jobs of the residents. I meant w o is already home to many anarchists/ makers/ artists. Not clear though, fair. I should look up the race breakdown though. It's 65% black I think and the rest Asian Latino and white. Not in that order, I don't remember the order.

Did you know, some of them like coffee shops also? some of them can read? Some of them have computers? Some of them might become sudo members? Black people are pretty similar to white people and like lots of the same things!!! Wow. In any case w. O. Is pretty mixed. There are lots burners and anarchists there that would like sudo room too. My roommate Randall will be there every day if you move to 8th and Alice. Listen if anyone on this list is actually worried about the harmful effects of gentrification, I'm happy to brainstorm how to accomplish these two specific goals:Under no circumstances should the west Oakland housing projects move or be converted. (This will not be a real concern for 25 years, but still) Make new building in w o very very easy. The main attractive feature of w O is cheapness of rent. We still have plenty of empty space. There is no reason that supply tightness should cause rents to rise for 50 more years SO LONG AS ANTI GENTRIFICATION concerns DONT PREVENT NEW BUILDING. On Tuesday, November 26, 2013, Pete Forsyth wrote: Everybody has different views on gentrification. But speaking for myself, the kind that bothers me is the high-security condos with on-site parking where rich people get cheap real estate and then have zero incentive or inclination to engage with their neighbors. They drive to work, drive to Whole Foods, and in between sit behind bars on their balconies while their neighbors push shopping carts by their fortresslike front doors to the recycling center. Sudo Room *exists* to build community. It may not build the kind of community that everybody wants to participate in, but it does offer opportunities that don't exist absent a hacker space. It's hard for me to imagine Sudo Room doing damage to its neighborhood, and even if something unexpected happened, I think its community would act quickly to correct the problem.

We've started gathering information about it here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/8th_and_Alice My personal feeling about the space is: This is an awesome space with lots of natural light. It addresses two of the major concerns raised about The Omni in being two blocks from BART in a neighborhood that seems/feels safer than the area around MacArthur BART, and in being located in a less gentrified neighborhood. The one drawback in comparing it to the current space and The Omni is the lack of a big separate common area for events. It is _very_ similar to Noisebridge in almost every way. -- marc/juul _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss --

Re: [sudo-discuss] Decode -- a sudo room community call to action

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

The current encoding is very difficult to parse. Please share your thoughts and feelings in alternative formats, aim for simplicity and honesty, holding respect for one another. I can't tell who is upset at who or what, and feel like verbosity obscures valuable insights, praises, skepticisms, critiques, and ideas. For instance, write some ideas as pages on the wiki, or a poem, or talk to another sudoer, or a trusted friend, or join everyone at the Wednesday meeting, or whatever works to simplify and preserve your individual unique and valuable perspectives! // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Max Klein" <isalix(a)gmail.com> To: "Matthew Senate" <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Cc: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Decode -- a sudo room community call to action Date: Fri, Nov 22, 2013 18:28 Can you explain a bit more what a decoding of our email list would look like? For instance, is it replying to the orginal message and saying "I understand your email means [summary of contet]"? Is it spawning a separate thread discussing giving analysis on the back-and-forth, saying "in that previous thread I read sudoer1 becoming offendend by sudoer0's message"? I like your idea of giving some interpretation, and would like to know your vision for how exactly it would manifest. -notconfusing.

I get the impression that there is a feeling of a lack of resolution, and that major issues get left ignored to fester. I need help--I want to ask sudoers to decode our communications to get closer to core issues that we can learn to address to improve as a community to perform our values https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Values I have reached out to find resources to help us grow emotionally and socially over the coming months, and I encourage others to do the same. // Matt p.s. For some time, I was burnt out on the sudo-discuss email list. In the space, on frustrated occasions, I spouted verbal negativity about the list and how I felt derailment, non-sequitur, and miscommunication promoted further negativity and did not reflect sudo's values. However, I realized this isn't how I feel about the sudo-discuss list. I have always felt it is necessary to embrace our online communications--and community--as much as any other contributing element or energy in sudo room. For this reason, it is even more crucial that I extend my personal appreciation, offer vindication for any time (all cycles) spent on sudo room, and remind myself publicly that our discussion list is a core component to running a creative community and hacker space. _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

Fwd: [CCL] Invitation to Art & Science show Dec 6-8 in Oakland

The opening is on Friday Dec 6th 6-10pm then the show will be on Sat and Sun from 1-5pm. Angela, Kimiya and Natalie are the 3 students from UC Berkeley who are organizing the show which you all may know. Please feel free to send the invitation widely and resend to your networks. Ahnon please feel free to use other CCL social networks. Best, Simona *It's a free event! There will be music! *And it'f first Friday/Art murmur in Oakland so drop by at our show before or after heading to Uptown!

In this class, we teach a group of about 20 students about the interdisciplinary connections within art and science. We seek to show how one can apply knowledge from the two fields to enhance related fields, including medicine, to cartography, to technology. Every week this semester we held either a creative workshop or invited a speaker to discuss the intricacies intertwining the two fields. For example, we had Carols Sequin come in to speak about mathematical knots and their implementation into artistic sculptural pieces. We also had a class on sound aesthetics and what makes music beautiful, as seen through a physicist's perspective. We talked about synesthesia, cognitive structures... you name it! This December, we are having an art show to showcase the students' original artwork in the class. They have been assigned to choose a scientific topic they are passionate about and explain it through a specific medium of art. The gallery will feature not only engaging art work from students of all different scientific majors and beyond, but also feature a sensory science exhibit. In conjunction with the Synesthesia Association of Berkeley, we will have a sensory isolation chamber that vibrates a participant's body to the tune of dubstep, a reel of engaging optical illusions and other cross-sensory demonstrations. You can also expect to enjoy a performance from the Multimedia Orchestra at Cal and beats all night from local DJ Schwa. We wanted to personally invite you to attend The Creative Consciousness, an art gallery and science exhibit which aims to encourage a consciousintegration of arts in the sciences and sciences in the arts. We think this event will be highly rewarding. Please do join us in celebrating these two wonderful fields in a fun and engaging way. Spread the word, invite your friends, and enjoy. -- Simona ZOMPI, MD, PhD Immunology & Global Health Consulting www.simonazompi.com LinkedIn Profile<http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=19020451&trk=nav_responsive_tab_pro…> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.

Door and Keypad Update and Need Help (Electronics Knowledge)

by Max Klein

Only last night I got the keypad running again, and was trying to insultate the wires to improve its uptime. So I coated two connections between the rasberry pi and the relay which is attached to the door. After coating, it seemed like I somehow failed these connections, because the software exited normally (opendoor.py was still being called and sent success messages), but the door was not opening. I tried to unglue them, but when i was taking off the glue, I disconnected one of the wires that was at this 3-way junction. Then I resoldered the wires but to no avail. So everything is totally broken now. Can you help with a multimeter and a solder gun Monday to hunt this down? I don't know how to test if there is current at point, nor why the two wires would split coming of the rpi, and then both go to same relay. BTW what's a relay (i've only heard the term)? Please tutor me in the ways of righteousness, notconfusing 7074787023

Need a bike trailer/ride STAT

by Chris Bee

My friend is giving away a pair of vintage speakers, Wharfedale W60Ds.to be precise...thing is, they weigh 47 lb each which would make carrying them on my handlebars slightly hairy. Does anyone have a bike trailer I can use for a hour or so? Or, can someone drive over with me to pick them up (they're at 28th and Adeline). IMO sudo needs these speakers...as Walter Sobchek would say, they would really tie the room together. -chrisbee
