Hey all sudoers!
Tonight's Sudo Kids' theme is Twist Ties! We will b making twist tie art,
jewelry and doing some pre-viz for a twist tie stop motion epic (Atom &
Iris have kicked around a Twist Tie treatment of Moby Dick or The Rhyme of
the Ancient Mariner). So bring your twist ties or pipe cleaners and let's
make it happen!
Does anyone have a stop motion program? Something with onion skinning?
See you tonight 5pm for the start of food and 6:00pm-ish for festivities.
Oh, and tonight is …
[View More]the P.O.S.S.E. party. So bring delish-ous-ness!
Nom nom nom,
Ray

Hi all,
Just wanted to circulate this course announcement for what we'll be
teaching this Fall.
Note the section at the …
[View More]end where we are encouraging people working on open
projects to contact us so we can direct students towards them.
Please forward widely. Thanks -- Seb
*i290M Fall 2013 : Open Collaboration and Peer Production*
*Instructors : Sebastian Benthall, Thomas Maillart and John Chuang*
*Class : F 11am-1pm in South Hall 210*
*Lab : T 1-2pm in South Hall 202 and on Internet Relay Chat (IRC)*
http://courses.ischool.berkeley.edu/i290m-ocpp/site/information.html
*Course Description :
*This course is a hands-on exploration of the theory and practice of open
online collaboration. Students will engage multi-disciplinary literature
about collaboration while contributing to an existing open project (such as
open source software, Wikipedia, or OpenStreetMap). Readings will explore
business models for open source software organizations, incentives of
cooperation and organization design for open source projects. Practical
work will be organized around themes of project management infrastructure,
community self-governance, and engineering education through open source
participation. The goal of the class is to engage students in an existing
open source community while developing functionality and expertise that can
be part of iSchool Masters projects, faculty-directed research, and beyond.
*Prerequisites* :
Programming skills are not a prerequisite, but programmers are more than
welcome to join. Students will come to the first lecture with an idea of
the open project they want to contribute to, and which problem they want to
address. If possible, a first contact with the community active in the
project should already be established.
*UC Berkeley Open Source Projects Promotion
*
This class promotes contributions by students to UC Berkeley Open Source
Projects. Feel free to contact us at sb(a)ischool.berkeley.edu to explain
your progress so we can match students with it.

I have been told that one or more of the people currently running sudo mate
have removed mate-brewing gear from sudo room and are apparently brewing at
another location.
This seems like something that should have been brought up with the group,
or at least been announced to the mailing list. (Perhaps it was and I just
missed the email?)
There are now a few issues:
1. No-one else can now brew mate at sudo room.
2. Some of that gear was purchased by and for the beer brewing group,
which …
[View More]made the last bottling session problematic.
3. I don't know the contact info for anyone who knows about this.
Who-ever moved the gear: We love you for brewing delicious sudo mate for
sudo room, but please reply to this email and update the sudo mate wiki
page!

Hello,
The Fixit Clinic is going to do a TIL on August 24, and I have a few
questions:
- Will the common room be available for us to expand into if there are more
people than comfortably fit in the sudoroom?
- Is anyone with knowledge of the 3D printer planning to be there? At a
recent Fixit Clinic in Boulder, CO someone was able to fix a broken blender
by 3D printing a part "while you wait". I think that is incredibly cool,
and would hope that if an opportunity presented itself to do this …
[View More]here, it
would be fun, but I don't know anything about running the printer, the
modeling software, etc.
Thanks, and see you next Saturday.

Hello All,
I'm in need of some beta testers for my new Android app, RedZone.
RedZone is a Find My Phone type app with a geofencing twist that I've
been working on since Open Whisper System's Spring Break of Code event
earlier this year. Upon public release the app will be fully open
sourced and made available for free on Google Play without adds or any
of that other junk.
The application has be written to support all versions of Android 4.2.2
and higher. I've tested it extensively on …
[View More]the Nexus One, Nexus 4 and
Nexus 7 but now I need the help of others.
If interested please contact me, I hope to distribute beta APKs starting
tomorrow or soon after. If you know of anyone outside this list who
might also be interested please provide them with my email address as well.
Cheers,
-- rhodey

Hi,
We seem to have all of the tools for making ethernet cables but
none of the materials (plugs and cable). Did I maybe miss them?
Alternatively, does anyone have a 30-foot ethernet cable I
could have/buy/barter/&c.? The ones in the ethernet cable bin
are all too short.
