FAQ

2014-10-16T20:00:01Z

Maximilianklein:

Thanks for your interest in Sudo Room!

=== What is Sudoroom? ===

We are a hackerspace in Oakland, California.

=== What's a hackerspace? ===

Watch this KQED Video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamwklXWK4M Open Source Creativity: Hackerspaces]:
<blockquote>"It's not easy to say what a hackerspace is exactly. You know it when you're in one, but they're all unique because people are so unique." â€”Mitch Altman of [https://www.noisebridge.net/ Noisebridge]</blockquote>

=== What does "sudo" mean? ===

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo Sudo] is a software command that stands for "super user do". It's pronounced "sue-dough" or "sue-due".

=== Who can go there? ===

Sudoroom is currently only open to members and guests. In a few months (fall 2014) we hope to be open to the public again. Please contact us if you'd like to be a guest. :)

We have quiet hours from 10pm-10am.

Soon our new space will have a phone number that you can call.

We are wheelchair accessible.

Young children need to be supervised by a guardian. We don't have childcare available. Sorry!

=== Can I have an event there? ===

Maybe! We love events like these:
* For a good cause
* Local, community-based
* Disability accessible
* Free, sliding scale, pay what you can, donation-based, nobody turned away

We don't like events like these:
* Pay-walled
* Socially oppressive
* Corporate or military sponsored

To make an event:
* If you are a member - use do-ocracy:
**Check the [https://sudoroom.org/calendar/ calendar] for conflicts
**Create a [https://sudoroom.org/wp-login.php?action=register Wordpress account]
**[https://sudoroom.org/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=ai1ec_event Add] your event
* If you are not a member:
** If you anticipate any problems, reach out to the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss mailing list] or to [mailto:info@sudoroom.org info@sudoroom.org].
** Get approval by sudoers. A good way to do this is at one of our [https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/weekly-meetup-2/ weekly general meetings]. Showing up in person is preferred. But if you can't make it you can ask for the action to happen over the sudo-discuss mailing list (as linked above), and maybe you can get approval over email.

We can promote your event on our [https://sudoroom.org/blog blog], [https://twitter.com/sudoroom twitter], etc. Just ask!

=== How do I become a member? ===

# Introduce yourself in person or on the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss mailing list] or at a meeting
# [[Gittip|Pay some dues]] or do some work like cleaning, etc
# Create a wiki user page or email some contact info to [mailto:info@sudoroom.org info@sudoroom.org]
# Wait a short while
# '''''Poof!''''' You're a member!

Existing members can block you if they know you to be a violent, malicious or otherwise problematic person, but this is rare.

=== What does membership mean? ===

If you are a member then you can participate in our consensus decision-making procedure—the way sudo room acts.

It also means you can have your own access code, which means you can let yourself into the space.

=== What's your legal structure? ===

It's still evolving. Here's some history:
* In November 2011, Sudoroom held its [[First_Meeting|first meeting]]. We've held [[Meetings|regular meetings]] ever since then.
* In early 2012, we agreed to an [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]].
* In late 2013, we filed [[Articles_of_Incorporation|Articles of Incorporation]] with the state of California, and elected a [[Board|Board of Directors]]

=== Can I store X at sudoroom ===

You can put a useful tool or some hacker ore neatly at sudoroom. Once you put something out a sudo and unless it says "do not hack on it" (and even then) there is no guarantee as to what will happen. You can however also rent a locker at sudo if you need private space, it is $25 per month.

=== When is sudo room open? ===

Sudo room doesn't have official hours. If you are a member you can get 24-hour access to let yourself in. If you are not a member, you will have to depend on at least one other member being there to let you in, and you would be their guest.

Typically there people at sudo room from 11am to 2am (or later 4am) most days of the week - but no guarantees.

Soon we will have a phone number you can call.

=== Can you fix my iPhone/iPad/Android Phone/Tablet/Laptop/other Device? ===

Complicated. Sudo room does not offer fix-it services. You can come to sudo room, use all our tools, and ask for help in fixing it yourself. Maybe a nice sudoer - and there are some nice sudoers - will help point you in the right direction or explain something that that youtube DIY fixing video didn't go over. If you want to find someone that might be able to help online you can contact the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss high-traffic mailing list]. In general there are no guarantees, but if you are dedicated you can learn to fix your own iBad.

=== Can you help me with Software Problem X? ===
Basically this is the same question as [[#Can you fix my iPhone/iPad/Android Phone/Tablet/Laptop/other Device?]]. Maybe, you'll have to find someone willing to help, which is possible, maybe on the mailing lists or IRC.

Morning math

2014-06-12T18:50:45Z

Maximilianklein:

'''Morning Math has sadly been in active since about mid 2013 :('''

Morning math is a rolling event held at Sudo Room where attendees create an anxiety-free zone to discuss and share mathematics. We drink warm beverages, including fresh coffee, and soon plan to build our own [[Sudo Roaster|DIY coffee roaster]].

==Topics of Interest==

==Projects==
* [[Morning math/Voting systems]] - Questioning the assumption of "one person, one vote" and an introduction to mathematical modeling.
* [[Morning math/Mathematical Reasoning]] - Introduction to basic logic, proofs, and abstract mathematics. The essential guide to a budding mathematician (of any disposition).
* [[Morning math/Science]] - Considering the fundamental mathematical/philosophical notions of science.
* [[Morning math/Forays in Logic]] - A casual engagement with some topics of logic. The nature of these topics may not be clear for newcomers, but do not be dissuaded if it seems advanced, initial reactions are helpful too.
* [[Morning math/Information]] - The theory (mainly mathematical) of Information and similar concepts.

Tax history

2014-04-13T00:31:11Z

Maximilianklein:

==2014 commenting on Calendar year 2013==
This is your treasurer ''notconfusing'' speaking. I'm a tax amateur, and you can too. On Apr 9th 2014, I went the Sustainable economies law center legal cafe to get some advice about how sudo should handle taxes. Here's what I learned:

#Tax day for corporations is the same as for people - April 15th.
#Every year we must file '''something'''. Even if you become a federal nonprofit, which we aren't yet, you have to tell the government that you don't owe anything. The basic things we '''need to file''' are:
##State Taxes: '''Form 199''', probably 199N
##Federales Taxes: '''Form 990''' Likely 990-EZ.
###You file 990-EZ as if you are a 501c3 even though we are not a 501c3, because we intend to be a 501c3 (that's the rules).
##Those forms are actually not due until '''May 15th'''.
##I will file these soon.
###Update: State taxes done - see [[Media:2013 sudo 199n confirmation.png]]
###Update: Federal taxes need to be mailed [[Media:Sudo_tax_federal_990.pdf]]
###Our California EIN "Entity ID number" not federal EIN "Employer ID number" is 3617428.
#2013 was the year we switched from being "Eddan Katz" dba (doing business as) Sudo Room, to Sudo Room, the California non-profit public benefit corporation.
##Eddan is not claiming the income that was receieved, and it was all transfered to the new corporation.
##So the corporation will pay tax on it.
#Since we are not 501c3 yet the money "donated" to sudo room are not actually donations, i.e. not tax deductible.
#Corporations like us get 27 months after incorporation to file for 501c3. That puts our date at January 2016.
#The sudo EIN is 46-4109670

This is a visualization of 2013 finances. When debit exceeds credit we had a negative month. 'netcum' is net cummulative money aka total cash in da bank. So if debit exceeds netcum, then our month costed more than we have in the bank.

This is your treasurer ''notconfusing'' speaking. I'm a tax amateur, and you can too. On Apr 9th 2014, I went the Sustainable economies law center legal cafe to get some advice about how sudo should handle taxes. Here's what I learned:

#Tax day for corporations is the same as for people - April 15th.
#Every year we must file '''something'''. Even if you become a federal nonprofit, which we aren't yet, you have to tell the government that you don't owe anything. The basic things we '''need to file''' are:
##State Taxes: '''Form 199''', probably 199N
##Federales Taxes: '''Form 990''' Likely 990-EZ.
###You file 990-EZ as if you are a 501c3 even though we are not a 501c3, because we intend to be a 501c3 (that's the rules).
##Those forms are actually not due until '''May 15th'''.
##I will file these soon.
###Update State taxes done - see [[File:2013 sudo 199n confirmation.png|thumb]]
###Our California EIN "Entity ID number" not federal EIN "Employer ID number" is 3617428.
#2013 was the year we switched from being "Eddan Katz" dba (doing business as) Sudo Room, to Sudo Room, the California non-profit public benefit corporation.
##Eddan is not claiming the income that was receieved, and it was all transfered to the new corporation.
##So the corporation will pay tax on it.
#Since we are not 501c3 yet the money "donated" to sudo room are not actually donations, i.e. not tax deductible.
#Corporations like us get 27 months after incorporation to file for 501c3. That puts our date at January 2016.
#The sudo EIN is 46-4109670

This is a visualization of 2013 finances. When debit exceeds credit we had a negative month. 'netcum' is net cummulative money aka total cash in da bank. So if debit exceeds netcum, then our month costed more than we have in the bank.

Tax Structure

2014-04-11T23:55:41Z

Maximilianklein:

'''See also, [[Tax history]]'''

=Updates=

In July, 2013 some of our folks spoke with potential fiscal sponsors (The School Factory & Noisebridge). Here was the result of the discussion with Noisebridge: http://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2013-July/thread.html#3141 (this thread also includes some concerns & thoughts from a few of the sudoers).

=Situation=
The current situation, based on a confluence of factors, is as follows:

* sudo room has many reasons to [[incorporate]] and select a tax structure, including but not limited to:
*# forming partnerships with other entities ([[Fiscal Sponsors]], [http://www.counterculturelabs.org/ Counter Culture Labs], the [http://thepublicschool.org/ Public School]), etc
*# the ability to put sudo room's name on rental contracts / leases
*# purchase goods and services as sudo room
*# avoid individual member liability, benefit from corporate liability
*# purchase insurance of various sorts
*# generally conduct business in a more consistent and unified fashion
*# operate with greater overall expenditure (bigger budget).

=Research=

Below are some notes from multiple efforts of research on the various tax structure statues that would be of benefit to the sudo room community and hacker space.

==Unincorporated Options==
It's not neccessary to incorporate to do some things. As a voluntary membership association, a group is exercising its right to free association, protected by common law derived from the first amendment.

=== Associations ===
*Read about (high-level): [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association Voluntary Associations], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_association Freedom of Association], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_association Cooperatives], which can fall under various classifications below.
*California Unincorporated Association

=== Limited Liability Partnerships ===

(from Blond's Black Letter Law Outlines, 1996)

for further detail, see resources such as [http://www.myownbusiness.org/s4/ MyOwnBusiness.Org - Session 5: Business organization]

* In a limited partnership there are two kinds of partners:
** General partners, similar to partners in a general partnership, control the management and are personally liable for partnership debts.
** Limited Partners do not participate in management and are not liable for debts beyond their initial investment

* In order the limit personal liability further, a corporation can exist as the sole general partner in a limited partnership with the limited partners acting as the officers of the corporation.

* This wall has been knocked down by some courts and held up by others with certain requirements, such as:
** the corporation also exists for other purposes;
** the state clearly allows corporations to be the sole general partner in limited partnerships;
** the limited partners act as officers in a corporate, not personal capacity; and
** the contracting parties are aware of the structure of the partnership.

FAQ

2014-04-02T00:06:20Z

Maximilianklein:

Thanks for your interest in Sudo Room!

=== What is Sudoroom? ===

We're a free & open community space for hackers, artists, activists and '''''YOU!'''''

=== What's a hackerspace? ===

Watch this KQED Video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wamwklXWK4M Open Source Creativity: Hackerspaces]:
<blockquote>"It's not easy to say what a hackerspace is exactly. You know it when you're in one, but they're all unique because people are so unique." â€”Mitch Altman of [https://www.noisebridge.net/ Noisebridge]</blockquote>

=== What does "sudo" mean? ===

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo Sudo] is a software command that stands for "super user do". It's pronounced "sue-dough" or "sue-due".

=== Who can go there? ===

When Sudoroom is open, anybody can go. You don't have to be a member. All you have to do is respect our space, and respect others! Sudoroom is open most of the time.

When Sudoroom is closed, you need an access code. Members have access codes. This usually only happens very late at night, or early in the morning.

To check if we're open, you can call our phone number: (510) 858-7145

Much of our space is wheelchair-accessible via a large elevator. Some parts are wheelchair-inaccessible due to being narrow and cluttered.

Young children need to be supervised by a guardian. We don't have childcare available. Sorry!

=== Can I have an event there? ===

Maybe! We love events like these:
* For a good cause
* Local, community-based
* Disability accessible
* Free, sliding scale, pay what you can, donation-based, nobody turned away

We don't like events like these:
* Pay-walled
* Socially oppressive
* Corporate or military sponsored

To make an event:
* If you are a member - use do-ocracy:
**Check the [https://sudoroom.org/calendar/ calendar] for conflicts
**Create a [https://sudoroom.org/wp-login.php?action=register Wordpress account]
**[https://sudoroom.org/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=ai1ec_event Add] your event
* If you are not a member:
** If you anticipate any problems, reach out to the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss mailing list] or to [mailto:info@sudoroom.org info@sudoroom.org].
** Get approval by sudoers. A good way to do this is at one of our [https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/weekly-meetup-2/ weekly general meetings]. Showing up in person is preferred. But if you can't make it you can ask for the action to happen over the sudo-discuss listserve, and maybe you can get approval over email.

We can promote your event on our [https://sudoroom.org/blog blog], [https://twitter.com/sudoroom twitter], etc. Just ask!

=== How do I become a member? ===

# Introduce yourself in person or on the [https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss mailing list] or at a meeting
# [[Gittip|Pay some dues]] or do some work like cleaning, etc
# Create a wiki user page or email some contact info to [mailto:info@sudoroom.org info@sudoroom.org]
# Wait a short while
# '''''Poof!''''' You're a member!

Existing members can block you if they know you to be a violent, malicious or otherwise problematic person, but this is rare.

=== What does membership mean? ===

If you are a member then you can participate in our consensus decision-making procedure—the way sudo room acts.

It also means you can have your own access code, which means you can let yourself into the space.

=== What's your legal structure? ===

It's still evolving. Here's some history:
* In November 2011, Sudoroom held its [[First_Meeting|first meeting]]. We've held [[Meetings|regular meetings]] ever since then.
* In early 2012, we agreed to an [[Articles_of_Association|Articles of Association]].
* In late 2013, we filed [[Articles_of_Incorporation|Articles of Incorporation]] with the state of California, and elected a [[Board|Board of Directors]]

=== Can I store X at sudoroom ===

You can put a useful tool or some hacker ore neatly at sudoroom. Once you put something out a sudo and unless it says "do not hack on it" (and even then) there is no guarantee as to what will happen. You can however also rent a locker at sudo if you need private space, it is $25 per month.

=== When is sudo room open? ===

Sudo room doesn't have official hours. If you are a member you can get 24-hour access to let yourself in. If you are not a member, you will have to depend on at least one other member being there to let you in. You can always call the phone inside the space at +1.510.858.7145 to see if someone is there.

Typically there people at sudo room from 11am to 2am (or later 4am) most days of the week - but no guarantees.

Newly Formed Multi-Disciplinary Collective Omni Oakland Eyes Former Omni Building

A newly formed "collective of collectives" called Omni Oakland â€” composed of hackerspace Sudo Room, "autodidactic" university the Bay Area Public School, variety show Oakland Nightsâ€¦Live!, experimental dance collective SALTA, book publisher Timeless Infinite Light, and a soon-to-be hackerspace called Hacker Spa â€” is looking to move into a 22,000-square-foot historical building at 4799 Shattuck Avenue in Temescal, once a popular rock venue called The Omni.

After collaborating on various projects in their current space on 22nd Street and Broadway for the past year, the hackers and creative types decided their vision would be best realized in a larger space.

"Weâ€™ve identified a really pressing need to expand," said Marina Kukso, a founding member of Sudo Room, which is dedicated to civic hacking projects such as the Oakland mesh network. "If we can pool our resources and [move to] a much larger space, and if there are other people who are also interested, we can work together in having a more specialized area."

Needless to say, the former Omni building â€” which was once eyed as the site of The New Parkway â€” would be a major upgrade to the groupsâ€™ current meeting ground â€” a shabby common area connecting Sudo Room and the Bay Area Public School.

The members of Omni Oakland envision their space as a free public commons similar to San Francisco hackerspace Noisebridge https://noisebridge.net/ , which does not charge for use of its facilities. Omni Oakland aims to accommodate groups from a wide variety of disciplines.

"The idea is that it should be very open to the public and very much about reclaiming the commons," said David Brazil, a member of the Bay Area Public School, which hosts free classes on radical political theory and foreign languages. Sarah Pritchard, a member of experimental dance collective SALTA, said, "I think this is a big thing for Oakland. It has the potential to be a blueprint for how we can be in community with one another outside of the market."

As shared and co-working spaces have become increasingly popular in Oakland, members of Omni Oakland said they want to distinguish themselves by their shared sense of activism and dedication to civic projects. "Because thereâ€™s been so much of an absence of services in Oakland, people have had to do things themselves," said Kukso. "But now with new ways to coordinate people and get the word out through technology, thereâ€™s a lower barrier to get people involved."

Omni Oakland is still in the planning phase: Its members are in the process of filing for nonprofit incorporation and are looking for more groups to join their collective.

"Thereâ€™s a fantasy and a reality," said David Keenan, an organizer of Omni Oakland and a member of the Bay Area Public School. "Itâ€™s a long haul to get everything organized, but if we donâ€™t end up getting this space in time, there are other spaces weâ€™ll definitely look into."

On Saturday, at 7 p.m., Omni Oakland will host its first event â€” a free talk by renowned political scholars Silvia Federici, Peter Linebaugh, and George Caffentzis on "capital, labor, and reproduction" â€” at the former site of the Omni (4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland). Members of Omni Oakland will lead tours of the space and provide information about joining the collective.

==Sudo Room==
===Update 02/28/2014===
Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] STATE FARM: GENERAL LIABILITY QUOTE AND
RENTERS INSURANCE BROCHURE
Hey all,

I paid $149.32 for two months of installments and a $2 filing fee from the
sudo room account and passed the certificate of insurance on to the
landlords.

// Matt

[[File:SUDO ROOM Certificate of Ins.pdf|thumb|insurance]]

===2141 Broadway===
Requests from the landlords:
:"Liability insurance with George and I as named insureds for $1M that covers the usual (injury, damages, fire, theft, etc.) for officers and members of the Sudo room re. the building. When you have the policy they will give us a certificate of insurance."

So this seems to imply we need the typical General Liability insurance to cover $1M with the landlords as named insureds.

==Research==
===General Liability Insurance===
via InsuranceForNonProfits.org:
"This is typically the "core" coverage for a nonprofit. Most commercial general liability insurance provides coverage for a wide range of acts or offenses which result in bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury or property damage to a third party. The most common type of incident covered by this policy is a "slip and fall". Commercial general liability (often referred to as CGL or GL) insurance is generally available as an "occurrence" policy, which provides significant advantages over a "claims-made" policy.

A general liability policy may also extend to special events. If your organization conducts any type of special events, you should make sure that your general liability policy includes special events and that you follow any requirements about providing notice of special events."

===Talking Points===
*All-ages meeting area separate from workshop area.
*Anyone under 18 accompanied by an adult guardian.
*No seriously dangerous tools in the space.

===Underwriter Paragraph===
Just a draft of key points to make, please prettify the language:

Sudo Room is a non-profit membership organization that provides work space and meeting space for members and their guests, as well as access to tools and materials for creative and technical projects. Member projects and workshops are artistic, scientific, and educational in nature, Activities include 3D printing; audio production, recording and broadcasting; painting and sculpture; electronics assembly and soldering; and computer programming. Events include talks, lectures, workshops and presentations in a clean, safe space.

Door Access

2014-02-17T03:42:36Z

Maximilianklein: /* Update 2/16/2014 */

==Summary==

People may enter SudoRoom through the side door on 22nd and Broadway.
This often confuses visitors since our official address is 2141 Broadway.
* See also [[DefensiveHacking]] for Security-related incidents.

==Door App==
[[SudoPad]]

<big>EXPERIMENTAL</big>
Developing a Android/iOS app for opening/closing sudo doors.

Android Version Here:
[[File:Sudopad_0_1.zip]]

INSTALL: You need to rename the file to .apk (do not unzip, just rename) and copy to your device and run it to install.

INSTRUCTIONS: "A" to open downstairs door, "B" to open upstairs door, "C" to lock upstairs door.

NOTES: You must be connected to the appropriate wifi network for the downstairs door to open.

ISSUES: Work in progress, upstairs will prompt you about certificate bs, just hit whatever.

TODO's: Connect to sudo-api to update sudo's open/close status. Add actual security mechanisms. Add iOS version.

This project is being done by thex, hit me up on irc.freenode.net in #fort

[[File:Screenshot_2013-02-06-13-28-53.png|thumb|none]]

==Sudo Door Intercom==
There is an old intercom system that is wired from the [[#Outside Facing Door|outside facing door]] up to the [[phone closet]]. One the first things we did when we got in to the space was to reconnect this intercom and attach it to a phone we had lying around. Here's a picture:

[[File:sudoroom-intercom.jpg|thumb|none]]

Right now if the space is occupied you can get in without a key by:

# Pressing the intercom button outside the door
# Waiting for a sudoer to answer
# Saying "I'm here for sudoroom", or "My voice is my passport"
# Waiting for an awesome sudoer to come and let you in
# Saying thank you!

==Door Open Indicator==
This project will detect if the [[#Inside Door|Inside Door]] is open and share that information.

Our current plan involves using a TI MSP4302553 via the TI Launch Pad to generate a tone. When the door is closed, the tone will stop. Anything that can pickup the audio will be able to detect if the door is open. We have a python script that does just that. Here is a picture of the tone generator in progress:
[[File:Ti-launchpad-tone-generator.jpg|thumb|none]]

==Outside Facing Door==

[[File:Sudodooryay.png|220px]]

You can also open the outside facing door using an EM41000 Family RFID Tag and the Parallax RFID Card Reader. Read more about [[RFID Door Access]]

[[File:Parallax_rfid.jpg|400px]]

In addition you can use the Keypad to get in. Learn more about [[Keypad Door Access]]

[[File:Door Keypad.jpg|400px]]

The arduino key pad code is at [https://gitorious.org/sudo-keypad-arduino/sudo-keypad-arduino/source/70030657a1cdc4a37e6399ee8701209145993c1c:]

These are the connections for the keypad to the arduino.
[[File:Door2.jpg|400px]]
[[File:Door3.jpg|400px]]

==Inside Door==

Sudoroom has its own tiny hallway with trash cans and a private elevator opening. The hallway is technically outside Sudoroom, and the door separating it should be locked when nobody's around. As the elevator is the primary path for automated entry, this door's lock will be controlled by a tiny Raspberry Pi. Some preliminary info about this box:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
| hostname || tamale
|-
| local ip || 192.168.1.222
|-
| ssh || pi@room.sudoroom.org:222
|-
| source ||
|}

SSH is KEY-ONLY. Contact Max, Yardena, or Bill for the key. :)

"Tamale" will implement an HTTP/CURL entry system with Max's script doorman.py, a tornado-based webserver written in python. When a visitor accesses a secret URL, Tamale will activate a motor that turns a key in the dead bolt.

=== Update 12/11/2012 ===
Doorman lives!
* ISSUE: You need to push into the door for the unlocking mechanism to work. (this is a feature until we prevent accidental remote unlocking)
* ISSUE: The server does not autostart upon reboot
* ISSUE: Upon rebooting or reconnecting, the device may not work well. You may need to fiddle with the ground cable.
* NOTE: Please contact Max or Yardena or Jae or Andrew for the secret.
* NOTE: You can also unlock the door by appending '_close'.

=== Update 2/16/2014 ===

[[File:Doorphoto 3.JPG|thumb|doorphoto]]
just document the chip that is there, on the beige protoboard, and document the color of the motor wires going to which pins on that chip

here is the PDF for that chip:
http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/l293d.pdf

we are using the 16 pin version. You should document which color stepper-motor wire goes to which pin (1Y 2Y 3Y 4Y) on the chip.

Also i wrote on the plastic housing the wire colors, in a way that was obvious to me which wires were pairs. There are four wires, which represent two windings in the motor. I call the wires for a winding a "pair" and we should document that, because a different stepper will have different color wires but will still have two pairs, or two windings, which we can determine from measuring with a meter.

if you tell me what i wrote on the 3d printed lock housing, i will explain better what it means.

you might also document which pin of the L293 chip goes to which pin of the TI MSP430 microcontroller board. This might be documented in the software but not very well, so we should explicitly record it.

Of course there is a lot of info in Jaekwon's github pages, but that data should be forked immediately to sudoroom's github.

the "fix" the other day consisted only of repairing the connections from the motor to the L293 chip, and also i added a capacitor (which should have been there already) and i changed the power supply to 19V insteafd of 12V

The Idea of '''Super Focus Club''' is to create a special area, where members can seclude themselves to "focus". Maybe a section of sudoroom, or maybe a separate room entirely. Either way, it would perform the function, so poetically suggested on the mailinglist:

<pre>well my point wasn't that I would come to SudoRoom and do only working and
not talk to anyone. I would like to have a super focus area so that we
could isolate ourselves for short bursts, then come back like half-naked
pearl divers coming up for air out of the ocean, our diving knives in our
teeth, so that during breaks we could flop around and relax supine on the
couches, just as divers would half-naked in the bright sun...

before diving down into the depths again, the depths of hyperfocus, clad
only in loinclothes, searching for pearls of wisdom.</pre>

The Alternative Exposure grants serve as catalysts towards sustaining a vital arts community in the Bay Area. The grants stimulate increased activity and growth, promoting ambitious projects and publically recognizing the important role they play in creating a vibrant Bay Area culture.

Alternative Exposure awards funds to groups or individuals that create frameworks of support for other Bay Area artists, extending Southern Exposureâ€™s community and audience with each successive year. Alternative Exposure recognizes the work of unincorporated groups, burgeoning art and gathering spaces, publications, websites, collectives, events and independent, artist-centered projects that fall outside traditional funding opportunities.

An outside panel selected the 2013 grantees including Christian Frock, founder and director of Invisible Venue, a curatorial enterprise focused on presenting artwork in unexpected settings; Emma Spertus, co-founder of Real Time & Space, a studio and artist residency in Oakland; and Sara Velas, founder and director of Velaslavasay Panorama, a Los Angeles non-profit exhibition hall, theatre and garden.

==ammendments to articles of association==
not at meeting but here it is (hol)

"Sub-Section 3.4.3 Dues
Dues shall be paid by members on a sliding scale basis, from the minimum $10 per month rate to the recommended donation of $60 per month calculated using the process below. Exemptions of individuals from paying dues may be approved on a case by case basis by the general membership on the grounds of financial hardship or refusal to participate in the monetary system. If the operating budget has a net surplus for three consecutive months, the minimum rate may be lowered to $0 by the general membership, to remain in effect as long as the budget is in surplus
See the proposal (needs to be updated) here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association/Minimum_Dues#Sub-Section_3.4.3_Dues and https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association#Sub-Section_3.4.3_Dues
Including but not limited to:
Some negotiation of BACE time bank hours

completely gutted the old one that had calculations in it and shit. the whole section needs to be rewritten really - hol
==Feedback:==
Marc: Nov $$ unnecessary. Last line also unnecessary (as amendments can always be changed)
Luciano: Include BACE Timebank hours, cryptocurrencies etc;
Familiar: Encourage alternative currencies, active participation and instruction, grant application, food/barter...
* Defining membership.
** juul proposes
*** That membership requires a minimum fee of $10 per month.
*** That membership does not automatically include the ability to vote.
*** That after 1 month of membership a member can show up to a meeting and the community decides by consensus whether the person should become a voting member.
*** That membership includes 24/7 access to the space with a personal access code and/or rfid.
*** That members don't ever have to show up in person if they don't want voting rights.
*** That we implement Jake's suggestion for handling non-members. Non-members can use the space as much as they want when other members are present, but cannot access the space when no members are there and have to leave when the last member leaves. To empower members to deal with problematic non-members, non-members can be thrown out at any time by a member if that members feel they are being a problem, _unless_ some other member present in the space is willing to vouch for the member as a guest.
==Consensus items:==
** Membership includes 24/7 access to the space with a personal access method, for example code and/or rfid.
***Unanimous consent
** Non-members can use the space as much as they want when other members are present, but cannot access the space when no members are there and have to leave when the last member leaves.
***Discussion, mostly vibe-y
** To empower members to deal with problematic non-members, non-members can be thrown out at any time by a member if that members feels that the non-member is being a problem, _unless_ some other member present in the space is willing to vouch for the non-member as a guest. Non-members being asked to leave must be told that they can further discuss the incident at a Wednesday meeting or on the mailing list.
***Discussion: Some way of logging the incident?
***Working Group: To reframe the above amendment
**Subsudo
Each sudo member is required to be part of one or more committees, team, other loose collection of sudoer(s) called a subsudo or subprocess. Being part of a subsudo is not intended to tie a sudoer to a massive commitment, but rather to illustrate some minimum responsibility your want to claim at sudo room. You are expected to organize and maintain your subsudo with your fellow subsudoers at some nonzero level. If no preexisting subsudo appeals to a sudoer, then that sudoer may take arbitrary time to create and list their own subsudo with no disqualifications allowed on the basis of absurdity.
***Feedback: Humor value; way of showing new members what kind of activities/projects occur in the community;
==Membership Discussion==
*Tim: Would be helpful if there was a clear benefit
*Matt: Refers to https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Articles_of_Association/Assets_and_Resources and says the primary benefit is responsibility
*V: Individual recognition in the weekly meetings / wiki / generally
*Tim: Reframing: "After one month of membership, new members are eligible to vote"
*Familiar: Why wait 1 month for voting? Do we not want members for <4 weeks to have a say?
**Method for factoring trust into the membership process (which in this model is open), by making the most powerful aspect of membership something that is agreed upon by the group (indiv. right to vote in our consensus model).
*Marc: Emphasizes that the last component of the proposal - for kicking out problematic non-members - is to only be exercised when a non-member is being particularly problematic in the space
==discussions==
*tribalize? everybody wear the same thing?
* remote-yar proposes official camera policy:
** people taking pictures & video should:
*** acquire consent from everyone
*** acquire consent and review again before publishing
*** applies to all identifying data: face, voice, body, name, etc
*** strict RFC-2119 compliance of "should" vs "must" to be debated
* Get new lease for 2141 Broadway (update to sign with "sudo room" as an entity)
==conflict resolution==

* Look into other hackerspaces' accounting system [Jenny]
* take on roommates - jeremy to make list of groups, pairing them with liasons

Maximilianklein:

We have a dedicated paired fusion line from LMI.net. Upon installation our reported speeds (with dual Annex M) are 26.5/3.7. Our Sonic (we used to have sonic.net, but switched) modem is in bridged mode, and the wifi network "sudoroom" is served by an Asus RT-N10+ running OpenWRT compiled from the latest git trunk. The router is named '''torta''' - admin access is by ssh & https. Contact [[User:Yardena|Yardena]] for the key or password.

There is also wired and wireless internet throughout the building, which is provided by the Landlord and is another Sonic.net (14Mbit/2Mbits;down/up) line.

== Internet options for Oakland residents ==
Relevant email thread starting Nov. 23, 2013, with some good info: [http://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2013-November/004670.html]

=== DSL ===
* DSL is a digital Internet signal transmitted over an ordinary phone line. It's typically faster than dialup, and it uses the line in a way that allows simultaneous use of the phone.
* The phone lines in Oakland are owned by AT&T, and you can buy DSL service (called "UVerse") through '''AT&T'''.
* Other Internet Service Providers also sell DSL service over those same lines; you can get this service without any direct business relationship with AT&T.
* '''Sonic.net''' is one such service. DSL plus phone costs a little under $50/month (including taxes, equipment rental, etc.)
* The quality and length of the phone line between your house and the [[wikipedia:Class 5 telephone switch|telephone exchange's central office]] will dramatically affect the speed you can expect. In parts of West Oakland (and elsewhere?) the lines are very poor. On poor lines, you might get speeds like 3 MBit downstream, and 1 MBit upstream -- enough for a video stream like Netflix or a video call like Skype, but not enough to do multiple high-bandwidth tasks at the same time.

=== Cable ===
* '''Comcast''' is the cable TV provider for (all of?) Oakland. You can get Internet service through their lines. There are several speed categories; all are faster than DSL. Comcast offers many different packages; typically you will have to get cable TV and/or phone service along with your Internet connection. Many of their plans require a 1 or 2 year contract, which you will probably not be able to get out of if you move or change providers.

=== Fiber optic, T1, direct ethernet ===
* Fiber optic based Internet can be outrageously fast.
* AT&T offers fiber to the home in some parts of Oakland. There is a 1 year contract. Be sure you know what you are getting, since AT&T uses the "UVerse" brand for both DSL and fiber. [http://www.buyatt.com/u-verse-internet/]
* Other service providers seem to only offer it as a business service, not residential. See '''[http://sunstreamnetworks.com/internet/ Sunstream]''', '''[http://www.fastmetrics.com/fiber-optic-internet-availability-map.php#.Urnl_WRDvPc FastMetrics]''', and '''[http://lmi.net LMi]'''.
* A T1 line (copper wire similar to phone wire, dedicated to networking) is what businesses have used for decades. It's generally too expensive for residential use and there are usually better options for business use.

=== WiMAX/other wireless ===
* '''[http://www.lmi.net/services/high-speed-wireless LMI offers point-to-point wireless]''' service, which involves installing an antenna on your rooftop. You need a line-of-sight to either the Berkeley Hills or Sausalito. Setup cost is high because of the installation (over $300) and 6 Mbps down/3 Mbps up costs about $55/month.
* '''[http://www.telepacific.com/offer/data-networking/wireless-internet-access/ Telepacific]''' also offers fixed-wireless service.
* Many cell phone providers now offer home Internet service that may be competitive with the options above. For instance, '''[http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop/plan/plan_wall.jsp?tabId=pt_data_plans_tab&flow=AAL&planFamilyType=null Sprint]''' has plans as low as $35/month. This approach also has the advantage that you can take your Internet connection with you (if you have a portable modem).
* You may be able to "tether" your existing cell phone, providing Internet service to your laptop, without even signing up for a new plan; this can be really useful as a temporary measure, but is probably not practical for everyday use!
* '''[http://Monkeybrains.net MonkeyBrains]''': Currently available in San Francisco only. (Not sure about the note above, though -- perhaps it is coming to Oakland??)

=== Building-specific ===
* '''[http://www.webpass.net/ WebPass]''' offers ''very'' fast Internet (100 Mbps) for $50/month, but it is only available in apartment buildings that have made an arrangement with WebPass. If you live in an apartment building, use their web site to check if your building has WebPass.

=== Mesh ===
* Some Sudo people are currently (fall 2013) trying to establish a "mesh" network that would allow you to make wireless network connections to your neighbors, and perhaps the Internet or other services. This is an aspiration, but will hopefully become a reality soon. See the wiki page '''[[mesh]]''' for techy details, or the more public-facing site:
* '''[https://peoplesopen.net peoplesopen.net]'''

=== Dialup ===
* Dialup Internet used to be the only common way to get online. Your modem allows your computer to "talk" over your phone line to the Internet. You can't use the phone for voice calls while you are online. The speeds are very slow compared to all other options listed here.
