Put simply, everything is working except the outer door is not
actually buzzing opening when it says it does. It appears a wire came
loose between the raspi and the door buzzer. We're trying to figure
out the right way to put it back.
Unrelatedly, our internet connection is being saturated this afternoon
by UDP packets which look suspiciously like either a DDoS or (more
likely) somebody was torrenting earlier. The high network load has
made door.sudoroom.org appear down, but it still works.
take the poll!

hi everyone,
the elevator was emergency locked again this morning. it is definitely a
problem to have this continue to be an issue, but we are actively working
on a solution (ie, coordinating with laurie and george to ensure that we're
on the same page regarding the elevator access control system that we
installed last week & the subsequent lack of a need to manually lock the
elevator).
thank you to everyone for their patience as we resolve these issues and
thanks to everyone who's a part of the ad hoc phone tree that's been
resolving the immediate access problem whenever it arises :) you guys are
awesome!

What is the policy for bringing a few boxes of really cool junk in. I'm
talking routers, chumbys cell phone boosters.
i just moved and i cleaned a lot of stuff out and i'd love to offer it to
people who would hack on it instead of dumping it at salvation army.
let me know!
Hi Folks,
It's that time again! I'll be firing up (after a bit of plumbing rework) the beer machine V2.0, doing some RGB LED control using accelerometers, and maybe a few other tidbits here and there. All level users welcome - I can't find the programmer I use for the scratch-build boards so won't be providing any components for those. If you're just starting out and need something to tinker with, there will probably be an extra controller or two on hand you can borrow, or if you want one to take home you can pick one up at radio shack by OG plaza last minute.
FB event if you want to add yourself to a headcount:
https://www.facebook.com/events/413697925410278
And feel free to invite people using this tool - I'm a bit sleepy at the moment so I only invited a few.
Important: Several other events have subsequently been scheduled for this night. Please be conscientious when setting up and help keep the place clean over the course of the event.
Hope to see y'all there,
Hol

Hello,
A group of people are getting together at Sudo Room Tuesday evening at 7:30
to talk about David Bollier's work on the commons and I wanted to see if
anyone from the Sudo Room community wanted to join us. David Bollier is one
of the leading common advocates in the US, and believes the language of the
commons will allow us to think our way out of the market/state argument
that currently consumes most of what passes as political debate in this
country. This is part of an ongoing discussion group we've put together to
talk about some of the intellectuals and activists, including Bollier
himself, who are coming to Oakland in early August for a conference. For
more details about the conference or discussion group email me at
jjflevin(a)gmail.com. You'll find links to the texts we'll be looking at
below. Hope some of you can make it!
Jacob
*“The commons provides us with the ability to name and then help constitute
a new order. We need a new language that does not insidiously replicate the
misleading fictions of the old order – for example, that market growth will
eventually solve our social ills or that regulation will curb the world’s
proliferating ecological harms. We need a new discourse and new social
practices that assert a new grand narrative, a different constellation of
operating principles and a more effective order of governance. Seeking a
discourse of this sort is not a fanciful whim. It is an absolute necessity.
And, in fact, there is no other way to bring about a new order. Words
actually shape the world. By using a new language, the language of the
commons, we immediately begin to create a new culture. We can assert a new
order of resource stewardship, right livelihood, social priorities and
collective enterprise.” *
The primary text we'll look at is David Bollier and Silke Helfrich's
introduction to the recently published "Wealth of Commons":
http://wealthofthecommons.org/essay/introduction-commons-transformative-vis…
For those who want more explicit example of what this resurgence of the
commons looks like, this article he wrote back in 2001 looks at how
community gardens, open source software and blood banks can all be best
described using the language of the commons:
http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/reclaiming-the-commons/the-cornucopia-of-…
And if anyone would rather listen/watch instead of read, this interview
offers a great window into how Bollier thinks about the world:
