Sudoers,
The awesome Micaela from The Public School has launched a much-needed
system for coordinating the common space at 2141 Broadway, and I've been
adding content to it this afternoon:
http://2141broadway.wordpress.com
The calendar has been updated with the regular meetups and events that tend
to use the common space throughout the week. If I've missed something,
please drop me a line.
The site also contains guidelines on having events & meetups in the common
space, a form for proposing events, info on access and directions, some
notes on safety, and soon, a safer space policy! If you're interested in
working on a Safe Space policy, contact me off-list and we can coordinate a
brainstorm session in tandem with The Public School.
Yours,
Jenny

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that you are welcome to join us this Saturday (7/6) at 2PM
for Today I Learned: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers,
everyone!)<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_6:_GIT_Version_Control_for_N…>
.
What is git anyway? "Git allows a team of people to work together, all
using the same files. And it helps the team cope with the confusion that
tends to happen when multiple people are editing the same files."
[source<http://www.quora.com/What-is-Git-used-for-What-does-it-do-exactly>
]
It is one of the primary ways that coders work together and one of the key
tools in the development of open source software. Although it's mostly used
by coders, it has lots of potential uses for people who don't code and is
very useful for anyone who is learning to code.
We will be learning all about version control and trying it out ourselves!
No prior knowledge is necessary.
See you soon,
Marina
hi all,
the fire extinguisher in the commons room (which was located on the wall by
the light switches) is missing and it needs to come back!
if you have any leads, let me know off-list.

Hey everyone,
So I've been doing sound art meet ups at sudo room since about March now
and I'm considering expanding the format a bit. How many of you would show
up to an art and technology meet up?
I'm at trying to arrange a sudoers yoga lesson tomorrow Friday at noon.
Hopefully an Earth Tribe Yoga teacher will respond in time. It will be for
ultra beginners.
But even if no one responds from there I will hack the yoga and DIY
instruct together. No one can stop us now.
Max
fyi!

a really neat thing about linux these days - i don't know if this will
work on the pi but when i want to script something involving a USB webcam
or a USB serial port, instead of referring to it by /dev/ttyACM0 or
whatever, i look for
/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Keyspan__a_division_of_InnoSys_Inc._Keyspan_USA-19H-if00-port0
you can put that into your thing instead of /dev/ttyUSB0 or whatever, and
it will always work - no matter what order the serial ports come up in.
i mean not that you took my advice last time...

keypad update: with new self-healing improvements has just set record

chokes and the arduino comes up as a different usb device. so i constantly
scan and to find the right usb device. an issue is that the rfid needs to
be usb0 so it has to grab that first, and normally does in every instance
ive seen it (unless the pyshical usb order gets switched).
Apparently I am our landlord's new preferred liaison. He called my
phone at 10:45 tonight and complained at length about the common area.
Specifically, he said the pews need to go by the end of the month. He
says he never gave permission for them, and he's hated them from the
beginning. He also suggested they be donated to the Joshua Christian
Church in West Oakland which was apparently smashed up by a car last
week. He said if they're not gone by the end of the month he will
remove them himself, possibly by bludgeoning them into pieces and
carrying the pieces to a dumpster.
I did not say yes or no. It was very hard to get a word in edgewise,
but I repeated several times, "I cannot speak for sudoroom. I will
relay your message to the group. Thank you for letting us know."
For context, the common area is actually cleaner today than it's been
in almost two weeks. To be perfectly honest, the timing tells me that
he's been stewing in frustration for quite a while. I think seeing a
moderate improvement gave him some clarity in terms of what he wants.
Frankly we've abused his flexibility about the common area. The pews
do encourage people to act irresponsibly, to forget we are guests out
there, to neglect to clean up after events, to turn it into a garbage
dump. By evicting the pews he's saying the party's over, stay in the
area you're paying for, unless you want to pay for the rest of it. He
did offer to quote us on the full square footage of the common area,
if we want...
It didn't have to be this way. If it was just the pews, I think he'd
deal. But he sees them as a slippery slope, a gateway to an overall
sense of entitlement beyond what he owes us, and I can't say I'm
surprised.
