Hey all,
There's a new public terminal installed at the entrance to the large closet and radio room, just around the corner from the 3d printer near the entrance to the space. I hope this is a convenient location for browsing our wiki, adding documentation, using the inventory tracking system for new items, brief web browsing, and general internet usage.
Please do not block access to it with donations or other equipment.
If anyone has the right kind of ram, it could use another gig or more. Please see there's an example 256mb card taped on to the tower to match the right type.

Hi Sudoers,
I've received some inquiries about when we could do a second batch of sudo shirts. Herein I will lay the groundwork for such shirts to happen.
First of all, today I was struck with a very simple sudo shirt design, which combines a few ideals that I've developed from my time screen printing: Using a colored shirt, minimizing ink use through tactful shirt color choice, creating focus from the graphical elements instead of the text. Also since this design would be a one-screen design, it would be ideal for doing an in-house screen printing workshop using water based inks (another environmentally superior decision), not to mention the possibility of keeping the screen on location for impromptu sudo prints.
This design is not actually the original sudo-button .svg that goes around. I modified this one (attached) to enhance the lines, fix a couple corner-jag issues, and to tweak some of the sides to be more parallel.
I'm pretty sure the edges are not all "perfectly parallel" here, and if we have any illustrator gurus on the list, that might be a cool thing to do. That said, this is a more precise sudo logo than we've had before, let me know if the subtle imperfections were cherished and I can revert this design. (Btw- What's the constellation depicted? Any?)
I and other sudo members have volunteered to donate the labor involved in producing these shirts, which would bring the price down to "cost", which will be $4.55 per shirt (American Apparel runs more expensive, but has some good-labor practices, so unless there's another preferred manufacturer, it seems the morally superior choice for now).
I donated the previous batch of shirts, but I'm currently donating what I can per month in dollars, so I'd like the Sudo Room's help to buy the blank shirts. If resold at $20 each, there would be a 339% profit on each shirt sold, which is probably a good thing to ask, since it doesn't require change, and it's a fundraising shirt anyway.
So: How's support for this design, and at $4.55/shirt, how many would we like Sudo Room to stock up on?
When the time to print comes around, I'll organize the volunteer effort, thanks for all the offers I've received!

Great thanks Jake, we're working on the space thing for CCL and hoping to
have one in the nearish term... it's kind of like the early days of Sudo
Room when we talked on and on about getting a space... until we finally got
one :)

Last night The Keymasters gathered at The Door. We invoked the great
Crontab and commanded it to banish and conjure The Baron once every 2
minutes.
This should keep access to our realm open... for now

So i heard the door system isn't working. We should fix that.
I made the door system at noisebridge, which has worked very reliably
since day one. Part of that reliability is that the computer it's
connected to has been very reliable, but also i made sure to
compartmentalize the hardware. Anytime you have something hard wired to a
computer (the way we have things hardwired to the delicate raspberry pi)
you risk instability.
I would like to get together with the other people who worked on the door
keypad system IRL (in real life) and offer what i can to make it more
reliable. It seems like it would solve a lot of problems if we could.

This is a cross post from nb-discuss, any sudoers interested, maybe a talk
on gezi gardens...
You know the place, Noisebridge, you know the time, third Thursday at 8pm,
you know who, could be you?
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/5moF
It's FIVE MINUTES OF FAME, hosted by me, the hard hat hacker "J.C." and
presented by Noisebridge and any or all of you that wish to partake in this
fabulous FREE event, donations always welcome as well.
This month will be trying something new, talks will be limited to 300
seconds, otherwise known as 5 minutes.
Is there something in particular you think is a must have talk, someone you
know brimming with bountiful brilliance, well now's the time to send them
my way and get in the queue.
This month is already shaping up to delight, featuring some mind reading
and chip tuning. And if anyone can explain DNSSEC in 5 minutes, I have a
spot with your name on it.
In the past month's we've had talks by:
* The creators of the modem, the open source webservers, and Usenet
* A guy who builds octoyurts in Oakland
* Mozilla bugs, Wiki seats, and MUNI routing
* The launch of "q" the world's shortest Python library
* The first glance of Post-Waste Nexus, SF's new recycling posse
* Giant Dangerous X-Ray Devices, Live
* Small children and Egyptian Gods
* Tunes about hacking, hacking about tunes
If you built it, want to build it, knew when it was built or just like
talking to builders, come to Noisebridge and show off.
It all goes down Thrusday June 20th 8pm, 2169 Mission St.
