Router Reuse Donation Drive

by Jenny Ryan

Dear Sudoers, Give us your old, your broken, your wireless routers yearning to be free... We will take them, and make them great once more (access points too!) –part of the mesh, the metamycelia of our dreams. In the stack of crates that creates our cubbies, there is a place... For your lost ones, potential nodes in a network more aptly befitting of the revolution. Contribute them, anonymously if you wish, or sudonoymously, be you a phish!

Fwd: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience

by Matthew Senate

I'm generally interested in building bridges to the local sustainability, urban ecological, and permacultural groups in the area. This seems like one opportunity of potentially many to extend the sudo community and create resilience through interdependence or overlap in membership. Hoping someone plans to inquire with the folks below! // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Youtt <jyoutt(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 1:54 PM Subject: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience To: spaghettinight(a)tentacle.net Greeting Spaghetti Night folks, I am writing to you from PLACE for Sustainable Living,( http://aplaceforsustainableliving.org) - a collectively managed community center focused on teaching urban sustainable skills. We have been around for just over 2 years and look forward to hosting a spaghetti night soon, but in the meanwhile, we wanted to alert you all about an opportunity that has come up in our little urban eco-village. Please read below and forward along to any friends that may fit the description. We look forward to meeting some of you at a future dinner. With gratitude, Jonathan East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience Who We Are We are a cooperative urban eco-village formed around the creation and management of a sustainability focused community center located on a 10,000 sq ft property in North Oakland. We are looking for new members who are interested in a cooperative living situation that is focused on shared food, shared work on the property & gardens, and managing the educational center focused on urban sustainability. There are a number of areas to focus on in helping to manage the center. . Maybe you don’t need a spot to land but just want to plug-in in some way. There are many ways to work with us as coordinators, volunteers, seasonal help in the areas of general administration, education, events and facilities. We are currently looking for another stable community member, hopefully with collective experiences such as: co-op living, community projects, food justice, permaculture or regenerative design. We are an dynamic group who believe in and are committed to the vision of a public serving and sustainability focused community center. Our Urban Eco-Village: We have a 10,000 sq ft lot with three buildings, and four travel trailers on site that border a 6,000 sq ft open yard space . We have a 600 sq ft shop space, a 400 sq ft bike shack and a 1300 sq ft barn which has a kitchen, office, dining area, living room, and shelves stocked with musical instruments and art supplies. The barn transforms into a community space for regular educational workshops, panel discussions, meetings, film nights and musical performances. We have bee hives, a coboven, a rainwater collection system and 3 grey water systems that channel our waste water into our garden and landscaping. Living space available: We currently have one travel trailer available at the beginning of June for the facility manager. It is equipped with a bed, kitchenette, seating area, storage, electricity and other amenities. Monthly cost is between $450 and $600 depending on individual or couple, plus $50 for utilities and another $100-120/month for the shared food/meal plan. The neighborhood: We are near Alcatraz and San Pablo Avenues in the heart of OakLeyVille - (the confluence of Oakland, Berkeley & Emeryville) We are on a side street a block off of San Pablo Avenue, 10 blocks from Berkeley Bowl West, Urban Ore, Discount Fabrics, Ashby Lumber etc. and about a 20 minute walk to Ashby BART. Several cafes are within a few blocks and there are several neighbors who practice homesteading with chickens, ducks, bees etc. What we seek in a roommate: - A compatible & cooperative member would find this project to be a creative opportunity. - You have presence and awareness of yourself and your surroundings - You have a life outside the eco-village, but you aren’t too busy to also participate actively in this community - Someone with integrity and goodwill - You are good natured and down to earth - Good communication skills; Ability to listen with compassion and orientation toward finding solutions to problems or difficulties - ‘Make a difference’ attitude: are you an activist? are you trying to improve the lives of others as well as your own? are you aware of your impact on the world and your immediate household and community, working to reduce your ecological footprint? Do you care about your nutrition and attend to your physical well being? - Financial stability for rent and bills, a must - Ability to participate in regular meetings that are consensus based Who we are: Currently men and women from our late-20's to mid-50's, whose activities and background include social and environmental justice activism, visual and sacred artist/maker, puppeteer, homesteading enthusiasts, herbalist, cooking, permaculture, renewable energy, appropriate technology, organizing events and workshops, sewing and crafts, and more.

Robbed at gunpoint.

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

YOs- James and I got robbed at gunpoint, right outside the side entrance, at about 2:45AM on Saturday 01 June. Nothing like thinking that you & a friend are about to die, to screw up an otherwise great night. No injuries, just terror. The guy wanted our cellphones. Lucky us, I don't have one and James had left his upstairs. He got our wallets. It could have been worse, he could have killed both of us. OK, time for the kick-myself-in-the-arse maneuver, for not having gone inside the moment we saw an unknown guy walking down the street toward us late at night. I should know better, hell I _do_ know better, but my safety-sense was down just long enough for the robber to get close enough to pull the gun, and the rest as they say, isn't history, just another statistic that got personal. QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM OUR BUILDING AND THE ONE NEXTDOOR? Peace, love, and safety y'all- -G.

sudodoor buzzer keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute, someone left the door open

by Romy Ilano

- sudodoor keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute. - someone propped the door open... i'm sure no ill intent intended. whoever did it, please don't do this, we agreed to keep the door closed - someone wrote in chalk in front of the sudodoor. whoever did it, please don't do this because we have an agreement with our landlord not to write in chalk on the sidewalk. ( a cheezy sf vodka company was writing lots of commercial graffit in front of our door )

This Sat. June 1st: Today I Learned: The Simple Computer

by Marina Kukso

Please join us this Saturday June 1st at 2pm for the FREE workshop “*Today I Learned: The Simple Computer*.” Perhaps you’ve heard of the 0′s and the 1′s. Perhaps you’ve heard of bits and bytes. But how do the 0′s and 1′s tell your computer to do things? How do we go from 0′s and 1′s to lolcats and code? How does the little box of plastic and circuits do anything at all? Want to have the most basic introduction to what a computer is and how it works? We will break a computer down to its most basic concept and answer any and all questions you will have (dumb questions, smart questions, normal questions – all questions are welcome!). Finally, we will take what we’ve learned and build a very simple computer! If we have enough folks come, we will BUILD A COMPUTER OUT OF HUMANS (WHAT?!)(YES.). Specifically, during this “Today I Learned” workshop we will: - Go on a quest to make computers *as simple as possible*. Intro to computer science. Understand how computers work! - Cover binary math and boolean logic - Make half & full adders made of water, marbles, rocks, dominos, people… - Build a very simple computer with 64 bytes of memory and 4 instructions *This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*
