by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers. Here are the highlights from our March meeting. This email and notes from past meetings can always be found on the wiki <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meetings#Archive>. *Facilities:* It’s gotten much cleaner, and we’re still going! Plus: Jake is going to install a drain in the roof to resolve our leaks. I’m going to remove some of the paint on the skylights and see how it affects the space, and we’ll plan to install shades before the summer. Jonathan set up a display in the main area, but is currently debugging a Chromecast in order to display useful content. Volunteers for any of these projects are wanted! *Finance: * We’ve got a bunch of awesome grant opportunities and need more volunteers! Even if you have no experience, message finances(a)sudoroom.org if you want to help. This is our biggest need right now! *Comms: * You can now sync our calendar with Google Calendars and iCal! Try it now, and you’ll always have the latest events in your personal calendar app! We’re also looking for contributions to a possibly newsletter. Email me or Romy if interested. *Projects: * We’ve got a bunch of active projects going on! - *The Hack-o-Mat:* message the general group if you want to modify or upgrade it - *Laptops for all: *message Rajah if you want to donate, refurbish, or obtain a laptop - *Hallway TV:* message Jonathan if you want to learn or help - *Assisting victims of stalking and domestic violence with online privacy:* Message me if you want to help an org that reached out looking for assistance *Events: * In addition to the usual, we’ve got some tentative new programming for March: 1. *Sci-fi RPG night*: I'd like to host a game night at our Wednesday party *on the 15th or 22nd*! If you’d like to join to hangout or play a game, message me your interest! 2. *Movie night:* This is very tentative, but if you’d be interested in watching Hackers or Lawnmower Man or something, message your interest and availability in April. Would you rather it be on a weeknight or a weekend? 3. *A Sudo Mesh meeting* (!): I'm trying to organize this on *a Wednesday night or Sunday in late March*. If you want to participate, message me or join the mesh listserv here <https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/mesh.sudoroom.org/>! Thoughts? Complaints? Animal videos?

Copying ideas from Retail stores

by Romy Ilano

I'm pretty busy this week and have an art show in Los Angeles next weekend ( https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/los/ver.cfm?event_id=24476779&fuseactio… ) I had a thought about the space, we're always trying to make it more presentable. I think it would be cool to copy concepts from retail spaces - not really like make SudoRoom a store, but like display projects and make things prettier to lure things in. This could dovetail nicely with the hardware hacking / fashion / light projection projects =D as we oculd turn SudoRoom into more of a gallery spaces while simulatenously making it look nicer. And the cleaning issue would resolve itself in this way because then we'd have to throw things away to make space for blank pages I think this would be super appealing to tech people who are stuck working on software all the time. it would also be a chance to show off team members projects, imagine robot art on a pedetal or hanging on th ewall you can't have a nice retail space without emptiness and it would help us work on the clutter which really drives a lot of people away too ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
