Do you guys all know about the new Parkway theater (www.thenewparkway.com)? I went there yesterday to see everything everywhere all at once and was absolutely blown away. The movie was mine blowing, but also the theater is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I also noticed that they have a partnership with food not bombs, which suggests that we have some major community overlap. I wanted to make sure that everyone here knows about this place because I think everyone here would love it, and also because they seem to be executing a vision that shares similarities to Omni commons, and executing it really successfully. I’d like to know if anyone from Omni commons is in communication with whoever runs this theater. If not, we should set up a meeting asap, because if they have any advice for us it might help save the building. -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

What’s your win this month?

by Romy Ilano

Some good vibes: I am focusing a lot more on blender this month. It’s fun and it’s open source! I wish I had hunkered down and focused on blender many years ago, especially since I was into 3D printing but it’s never too late I got to the animation and key frames section. I’m embarrassed I had been using a more expensive pay program to do animation previously but now I’m doing it on open source software It’s cool, I’m pretty sure I would never have learned this much if I had organized a meetup or taught a class tbh. People in lecture classes don’t really follow through and accomplish stuff so if I do have a blender event it will be a workshop But what works for you might be the opposite !

Re: this Sunday outdoor outreach event at noisebridge! Sudoroom should represent

by Romy Ilano

I couldn’t make it to this one but it looks very cool! It’s also rad the sf mission closed the streets to cars 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Looks like it was a lot of moms and kids did anyone take a lot of photographs? Those are usually great for fundraising too bad women who do tons of childcare don’t have time stuff at hackerspaces Did you guys meet any older women whose kids moved out who never fulfilled their potential yet? That would be a cool group of people to talk to Sent from my iPhone

How should we restructure meetings?

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers! It's Wednesday. According to the calendar, Wednesdays at 8 PM are weekly meetings, and most Wednesdays I send out a meeting reminder. After a few really productive meetings earlier in the year, momentum has fallen off. I'd really like to see Sudoroom complete the proposed reopening. It seems to me we're stuck at this liminal space: we've got a lot of awesome creative members and a physical space many hackerspaces would be envious of, but we are struggling to exit the covid posture and address long-standing issues such as facilities upkeep and sufficient revenue generation to avoid shutting down at the end of the year. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to reestablish our momentum? I think we should assemble a team of volunteers motivated to make a 4 week blitz. I think with enough people making one big push we could kick Sudoroom from first gear to second, after which we might be able to create some self-sustaining acceleration in momentum. Thoughts? *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Hardware and softWEAR* Hacking Tuesday is tonight

by Jake

Hi everyone, You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email) ALSO NOW FEATURING: SoftWEAR hacking too: most Tuesday evenings the sewing area at Omni Commons (in the basement) is also active so bring your fabric and textile projects and technical repairs; we've got heavy duty and serger sewing machines available. You’re also welcome to bring your own machine to have it checked out and tuned up for tip-top operation or to just sew alongside others. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence Jenny put it on the Omni calendar: https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/ Here it is on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there earlier. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway! You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake
