Hi, I wanted to start publicizing my workshop this Saturday for Today I Learned. But it looks like the wiki for Today I Learned is broken. Is it still OK to do the workshop on Saturday afternoon? My idea is to teach anyone and everyone to solder using lots of fun and intriguing kits for total beginners to complete successfully (and cool enough for experts to enjoy, too). TV-B-Gone kits, Brain Machine kits, blinky-light kits, and lots, lots more. Anyone can learn this stuff! All skill levels, all ages -- all welcome! More info:https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Circuit_Hacking_Mondays Any way to get the workshop on the Sudo Room main calendar? It would be nice to use this to attract some new folks to Sudo Room. Thanks,Mitch.
for your reading pleasure:

Cisco has made the assertion that there will be 50 billion devices on the Internet by 2020. That number might be high or low as it related to “devices” but I think it seriously underestimates the number of connected things that we’ll need to eventually contend with—by several orders of magnitude. The real number is likely in the trillions.
The driver, of course, is Moore’s law. John Clippinger reports that an Android phone can be had for $30 in some places. That same connected, computational, sensor platform will cost $3.00 and then $0.30 and then $0.03. When a wireless sensor platform costs $0.03 where will it be? Everywhere. Everything, even disposable things like razors or pens, will be gathering data…about you.
We probably don’t really have a choice about whether a $0.03 wireless sensor platform will exist. Technology marches on.
But we do have a choice about how it will be employed. If we follow the path we’re on now, all those devices will be controlled by some company somewhere that is providing the service behind them. [snip]

used to be a theater!)
PLUS ray will be catering with vegan ice cream!

Hi guys, (all sexes)
I just came back from the noisebridge to go over some details with Mitch,
who checked out my space in berkeley last week.
i wanted to announce it Wednesday at the Meeting but as you are
talking about Friday 22nd
I have to do it now:
So I am running this community Art Gallery called the "Open Fine Art
Gallery" in the storage room of the vacant Oaks Theatre in north
Berkeley, 2 miles north of downtown.
As an art gallery its fun to bring people together, lots of new
artists that never showed before,
but nothing sells and financially it really sucks to be honest, all
savings almost gone.
We have been transitioning to a community center, every open day
(wed-sat) there is a free and donation based class...
On Friday March 22 we have a Fundraiser and Kick-Off coming up and we
are going to declare the Space a quantum community space, which means
a superposition of
- hackerspace
-makerspace
-tinkerspace
-co-creator space
- coworking space
-developer space
- you name it whatever space
- avocado institute
- nyan cat university
and whatever the people who use it as a creative community space want to
call it
(declare it sudo!?)
I have been asking some folks that opened community spaces to give talks as
well
and want to announce that anybody who wants to give a talk on
- opening a community space
- why a community space is awesome
please let me know for the awesome people in our community who have
awesome stuff to share about this and might wanna do so. With or
without Powerpoint, well planned or spontaneouly.
The place has a huge potential (45 feet high walls, vacant theatre next
door)
So I would like to invite you all to the Kick-Off Event, and also to
be part of transition,
please let me know if you wanna get involved.
best ,
Patrick

Tamale is our door controller, as you probably know. It controls the
doorknob by a USB cable. The cable is spliced in two wires which were
apparently VERY LOOSELY attached to two pins on the raspi. In the
process of running ethernet cable from the crawlspace, we accidentally
knocked into tamale and both the wires came loose. We don't know how
they were attached! We'll try trial & error, but it would be very
helpful if someone could help us, who actually put it together in the
first place. How ironic that we finally get the outer door connected,
and then we break the inner door.
tl;dr could tamale's makers please help us fix the USB pins?

Hi Sudo room-
So we had our show on Saturday night and felt like it went really well. We
love the space, you guys and the feeling of 2141 Brdwy. A lot more people
showed up than expected, but it felt like the space could handle it and I
think we cleaned up well afterwards.
We wanted to check in and see if you were okay with us continuing to have
the show there monthly, hopefully on the 2nd Saturdays. If you have any
concerns, either about what happened on Saturday or about what you imagine
could happen in the future then lets talk about them. Either way, if you
are into the show, we would love to talk a little bit about how to make it
sustainable for everyone.
Also, if have the show at the space next month, we were hoping to have the
theme be Hacking and would love to have a guest or two though Sudo room!
Tell us what you think about everything. Thanks!

I got a hold of George and asked him about running the cables, and he
basically unlocked a closet door with access to a crawlspace and said
"have at it!" So if someone can get enough cable to Sudoroom TODAY or
TONIGHT, then we can solve this problem! I've looked everywhere,
including the networking closet in the hallway (George opened it for
me) and I can't find any large spools of Cat5.
I'm going to crawl up and measure exactly how long we need. In the
meantime, can someone please help get some cable here? Thanks!
Today I worked on removing some of the 3rd party javascript trackers
from the wordpress. You'll see that there's now a click-through for
WePay. This is so that the remote javascript normally included in every
pageload will now only be included if you click on the WePay button.
This means WePay can no longer track your browsing pattern through
sudoroom wordpress, and it's js is only included if you opt in. I've
also disabled the 3rd party javascript that JetPack includes by default.
I've also added a flattr button so that you can give us a microdonation
through flattr!
