Any chance there is a biggish windows box there I could use to try to flash
a GPU with a different BIOS today tomorrow?
This is a big GPU for my Mac Pro with the wrong BIOS that won't fit in my
windows box. Thing went awry for me flashing the card on Linux command line.
Back at computer by 7pm to respond.
THAAANKS!!!

Hi all,
Unless someone else can step up and host JS Thursdays, I will be unable to
host it this week (today) and next week. I was planning on hosting today
but something came up. Let me know if you want to take the helm for today
or next week!
Thanks,
Charles
We have been donated another 3D printer, this time a TAZ 5 which is visibly
better and more solid and well put-together than the TAZ 3 we were given (by
the company) 9 years ago. The catch was that it didn't have an extruder, but
the extruder from the TAZ 3 very easily swapped onto it with a single screw!
The TAZ 3 has never been a good 3D printer (not because of its extruder) and so
i'm happy to swap its extruder onto the new one, but it still needs to be wired
up - the TAZ 5 didn't come with the cable and so we need to make one. The
control box uses these fancy round connectors for the extruder(s) (it can
support two) and I have the pins that fit the connectors - so we can make the
wiring harness as soon as we get a diagram of those connectors (the round
extruder connector for the TAZ 5)
I plan to heat up the heated bed on the TAZ 3 and then scoop it off of the
glass plate (which is damaged) so that it can be swapped onto the Type A
Machines 3D printer (the wooden one)
then I plan to finish dedicating the TAZ 3 to be only for dispensing solder
paste onto circuit boards, as seen here:
https://hackaday.com/2014/04/02/dispensing-solder-paste-with-a-3d-printer/
also we need to find a home for the two-extruder "delta" 3D printer that's in
the middle of the 3D printing desk, it's nice and has a heated bed, it just
needs someone to adopt/buy it from sudoroom since it's not a great community
machine (has too much personality) and we already have more than enough.

Hi Sudoroom,
we have to consider this collective for membership in the Omni Commons! As
delegate, I will be asked to represent our position on the proposal in an
upcoming delegate's meeting.
Please use this thread to discuss the proposal!

Introduction
Hi there,
Yes absolutely! I can make it and will see if I can draft another member
for redundancy to get all the questions answered.
I should also be able to make the first part of the open house.
Thank you so much, looking forward to it.
Julie

*Consideration of PWM for membership*
I know the P stands for Peter, but I don't know the rest. Does anyone have
any objections or endorsements?
PWM has been coming to meetings for a few weeks and seems cool to me.

Greetings Sudo Room!
This is your monthly donation invoice. Thank you for stewarding the
commons!
Love and solidarity,
Omni Commons Finance Working Group
please see the PDF of the Myriad Outreach Project's proposal to join Omni
Commons as a member collective, it's two pages and we (sudoroom) will need to
reach a decision about it, as Sudoroom is a member collective of the Omni
Commons and gets a say in these decisions.
here is the PDF they sent:
https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220420/f580c03d/a…
This email is the start of a thread about this proposal!

Omni,
It was great meeting you all at the last meeting. Attached is our proposal
to become a member collective. Thank you so much for the consideration we
look forward to working with you!

Noisebridge is having their five minutes of fame tomorrow (April 21st). I'm
going to showcase not only my light projector projects, but also how
hanging out at SudoRoom hardware hack night helped me get stuff going
My big theme will be - we learn best by project based learning, especially
if I don't have to learn for the sake of school or a job
Project based learning is the best way for me to retain knowledge
I was thinking of learning math, and by doing a project like the light
projection art, this is really the way for me to learn math and let it
stick! It's sort of like how the people who program games learn their
algorithms the best of all versus people who do algorithms just for
leetcode and job interviews

Hmm I think I'm going to make a flyer - SudoRoom is a pseudo artist hang
out. A place where you can experiment and refine your art. You're not just
there to go to a party, a talk or a class, your'e also there to just show
up and continue your project and this is what will compel you to learn long
run!
So as I said, I spoke to Paige and that's what makes us special!

Oh yeah I also found this art during my last visit. It's really cool? Does
anyone know who made it? How do you ge the laser cutter to be so nice and
then paint it so swell? are they expert model painters?
