Wooowwww! Great outpouring!
I've migrated the entire conversation (well, an abridged version) to a new
portal on the wiki:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/Hacking_Sexual_Health
Thank you for all of your perspectives and insight!
Thank you Praveen (sign me up!)
Thank you Aestetix (please follow up with me--I'm suuuuper interested in
meeting these peeps!)
Thank you revphil (let's screen your films!)
Thank you Romy (your idea now has a section in the portal!)
Thank you Matthew (the psigasm peeps are so fascinating!)
Please excuse the lack of images in the portal. I have some greeeeat ones
but the wiki is having uploader drama.
Chez Hacker weekend -- lost theme / dharma initiative
part of the dharma initiative was obsessed with solving the Valenzetti
Equation - which captured the number of days and years until humanity would
end.
alternative energy options to save the world?

drawing on the German Lebensreformen movements which advocated a return to
nature, vegetarianism, a celebration of hiking and healthy living which was
actually one of the true sources of the hippie movement in California (i
will bring the book children of the sun / gordon kennedy)

- Will Jae appear? how will we prove ourselves worthy to receive his
presence again?what has he discovered about additive manufacturing and job
creation for oakland during his wanderings in the desert de las vegas ?????

Valenzetti Equation

Part of the equation seen on
Valenzettiequation.com<http://wiki/Valenzettiequation.com>,
though this may not necessarily be canon <http://wiki/Canon>.
*The Valenzetti Equation* is the mathematical equation developed by the
reclusive Princeton University mathematician Enzo
Valenzetti<http://wiki/Enzo_Valenzetti>.
Its creation was the result of efforts made following the Cuban Missile
Crisis by the United States and the Soviet Union to find a solution to the
hostility and danger of imminent global disaster created by the Cold War.
The equation was secretly commissioned through the UN Security Council and
is used to predict the time of human extinction.
According to the 1975 orientation film <http://wiki/Orientation_film> in
the Sri Lanka Video <http://wiki/Sri_Lanka_Video>, the Valenzetti Equation
"predicts the exact number of years and months until humanity extinguishes
itself."

Unknown man writing the Valenzetti Equation on a chalkboard in the Sri
Lanka Video.
During the video, Alvar Hanso <http://wiki/Alvar_Hanso> also states that
the radio transmitter on the Island <http://wiki/Radio_Tower>, will
"broadcast the core numerical values of the Valenzetti Equation." The
numbers <http://wiki/The_numbers>: 4 <http://wiki/4>, 8
<http://wiki/8>, 15<http://wiki/15>,
16 <http://wiki/16>, 23 <http://wiki/23> and 42 <http://wiki/42> are
explained in the Sri Lanka Video <http://wiki/Sri_Lanka_Video> as the
numerical values to the core environmental and human factors of the
Valenzetti Equation. Alvar Hanso also states in the video that the purpose
of the DHARMA Initiative <http://wiki/DHARMA_Initiative> is to change the
numerical values of any one of the core factors in the equation in order to
give humanity a chance to survive by, effectively, changing doomsday.
However, Thomas Mittelwerk <http://wiki/Thomas_Mittelwerk> reveals that as
of 2006, they have failed to change the values through manipulating the
environment, as the equation continues to arrive at the same six numbers.
It is unknown how or if the most recent calculation of the equation is
automatically reflected in the radio transmissions.
Rachel Blake <http://wiki/Rachel_Blake> also learned that the Hanso
Foundation was forcing savants at the Vik
Institute<http://wiki/Vik_Institute>in Iceland to run the equation
over and over. Somehow, five
hieroglyphic <http://wiki/Hieroglyphics> symbols were involved in the
calculations (Armand Zander <http://wiki/Armand_Zander> described them as
"representative"), the same hieroglyphs seen on the countdown
timer<http://wiki/Countdown_timer>in the
Swan <http://wiki/The_Swan> station.
The Blast Door Map <http://wiki/Blast_Door_Map> included a reference to the
equation; a zone on the island is marked as being of "low relevance to
Valenzetti-related research activity".

A person from The Public School wanted to do a screening of Vanishing of
the Bees http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1521877/ on the Tuesday the 23rd of
this month in the common space. I wanted to check if that is okay. I tried
to put it on the calendar but it appears broken (plug-in needs updating FYI)
I also wanted to share that we are doing a game/event on Saturday May 4th
called Terra Incognita where you explore the city and make a game of it. We
are still working out details but the original info is here:
http://demilit.tumblr.com/terraincognita and the event is here:
http://thepublicschool.org/node/34285
Also wanted to float the idea of a "meeting of the minds/party" between the
groups that share the suite. A chance to learn more about the various
projects happening at sudoroom/the public school/ and others, network and
interface. Like Hacker Happy hour but with a little more structured
discussion. Just a thought
Oh and the suggestion for a class on the history of telecom systems would
be awesome.
Best,
Marty

Would it be polite to infuse a dharma initiative theme to chez hacker weekend?
Anyone up for showing up in jumpsuits and bringing surf rock records and handbooks from the institute of the future?

Hi, I downloaded a super simple CRM and installed it on the SudoRoom
Wordpress.
I'm putting down email addresses that are on our sign-up poster.
I'm adding people who randomly wander in.
I'malso adding details -- one cool guy that came said that he knows one of
the original inventors from way back of 3D PRinting and he can get that guy
to come in and talk to us and hang out! wow!
They asked me to send them a link to the wiki for SudoRoom--many are
curious about what else is there to offer. I'm going to email them some
quick link, make it short and sweet.
- should embed if possible the wepay donation button into the welcome page!
people are short ontime, but very nice and generous!!! <3
