This Saturday TIL: July 6: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers, everyone!)

by Marina Kukso

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

Yoga on Friday July 5th at sudo at Noon

by Max Klein

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

Re: [sudo-discuss] open thread for update on our door access mechanisms

by Jake

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... -jake max klein wrote: keypad update: with new self-healing improvements has just set record uptime at 30 hours. i am monitoring this. the problem is that rpi sometimes 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).

No more pews

by Yardena Cohen

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.

keypad update: with new self-healing improvements has just set record uptime at 30 hours. i am monitoring this. the problem is that rpi sometimes 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).

open thread for update on our door access mechanisms

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, we are at the meeting and have been discussing the status of our various door access mechanisms. as we were discussing them, we realized that we were partly in a fog of unknowing. so this email is a request for information on the status of our different mechanisms: - door.sudoroom.org: FUNCTIONAL - rfid: unfunctional this morning - unclear function now - keypad: unfunctional this morning, functional this evening: WHY? =O - buzzer: unfunctional this morning, functional after jordan logged in and restarted the mouseread daemon. for folks who are working on these systems, it would be great if you could let the list know what the known issues are with these systems, where we're at, and what work needs to be done. please consider this an open thread for updates on the status of our access systems. thanks! marina
