Radical Archiving and Cataloging as Social History
What …
[View More]role do nontraditional archives play in the preservation and
interpretation of peoples' history? This open discussion will explore some
of the opportunities and challenges of radical repositories.
Some of the issues that will be addressed include:
What defines a radical archive?
What can be productive relations between community-based or independent
archives and more established (and establishment) institutions?
What tools and processes are making it easier to document, catalog, and
share oppositional cultural objects?
What is the role of ordinary people in building useful collections?
Speakers:
Lincoln Cushing is a professional archivist responsible for Docs Populi -
Documents for the Public, documenting and disseminating social justice
poster art. He is also archiving consultant with the Oakland Museum of
California helping to process the All Of Us Or None poster collection.
Claude Marks is the Director of The Freedom Archives, a political, cultural
oral history project, restoration center, and media production facility in
San Francisco. Nathaniel Moore is an archivist at the Freedom Archives. He
has a MA in African Studies and a MS in Library and Information Science
from the University of Illinois.

Happy Friday to SudoRoom!
May everyone have a great First Friday, enjoying all the nice dining
options in downtown oakland. There are so many great art events going on,
and small children too.
Good luck to Gregg on his awesome show at the RPS Collective.
May all your political causes be fruitful.

[View More]is no documentation from police that says SudoRoom did any of this, and we continue to document landlord harassment via OTU, then I think we'll have protection should he attempt to evict.

Hi Sudoroom!
I'm moving towards creating a free program for math and data literacy and
want to find interested volunteers and students. I'd like to gradually work
out some pilot classes in Sudoroom and Noisebridge, probably alternating
between each space, ideally on Wednesday evenings at first.
I was wondering if I could come in to the weekly meeting this next
Wednesday and feel things out to see what people think, being as I've never
been to sudoroom yet. Would that be ok?

Any help on this it would be greatly appreciated. Please pass it on if know folks who might be interested. This database could greatly improve seed libraries.

Dear All,
We are VERY pleased to be able to announce the first of our Open Source
DIY Bio lab equipment hack nights: The Open Source PCR hacknight. The
upcoming hack night will be focused on building an open source PCR, we
currently have a prototype which cycles but if you have a PCR you're
working on please feel free to bring it as well and work alongside us
and please feel free to invite friends and also forward to anyone you
may feel is interested!
This event will be run in …
[View More]conjunction with OMGBio and the Micro
Controller Hack night (run by Hol) at Sudo Room.
The overview of the evening will include:
Principles of PCR
Principles of Temperature Control
Aims are to get temperature cycling of 1C per second with accurate
measurements at the current rated power
http://www.meetup.com/Berkeley-Biolabs/events/138849342/
We'll be using Peltier for cooling and we'll be using Nicrom wire for
heating (although this is up for discussion). If you have any questions
please feel free to contact Ryan, Marc or Hol!
All the best,
Ryan
