'''''"Why is Sudo Room covered in QR codes?" you might ask.'''''
'''''"Why is Sudo Room covered in QR codes?" you might ask.'''''


Sudo Room is using the '''Labitrack''' inventory tracking software from the Copenhagen-based [https://labitat.dk/ Labitat] hackerspace. Labitrack allows simple 2D barcode labeling (QR codes) of individual items in the Sudo Room, and creates a wiki-based online inventory of those items. To look up what items are available at Sudo Room, you need to be connected to the Sudo Room LAN/wifi (called: sudo room). Then, simply type into your web-browser the address: http://space.local.  
Sudo Room is using the '''Labitrack''' inventory tracking software from the Copenhagen-based [https://labitat.dk/ Labitat] hackerspace. Labitrack allows simple 2D barcode labeling (QR codes) of individual items in the Sudo Room, and creates a wiki-based online inventory of those items. To look up what items are available at Sudo Room (or add new items), you need to:
 
# Connect to the correct LAN/wifi (named: "sudo mesh" or "omni ballroom").
# Then, simply type into your web-browser the address: http://stuff.sudo.


When you scan a 2D barcode, you will be taken to an item address, for example: http://o.sudoroom.org/1. The number at the end refers to the ID of the scanned item. This will immediately redirect you to http://sudoroom.org/wiki/O:1, where you can add information about the item. When you create a new item in the web app, a label will immediately be printed on the teeny tiny printer currently located on the main bookcase. A future goal is that the information you enter when you create the label will automatically be entered into the wiki page for the item. (updates, people?)

If you are running Windows, read this whole thing. You will be ''unable to use .local addresses'', since Windows does not support the necessary "Zero Configuration Networking" (''"zeroconf"''). OS X ''does'' support zeroconf, though Apple calls it ''Bonjour''. '''You should be able to enable ''zeroconf'' support for Windows by installing [https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999 Apple's zeroconf for windows].''' The mysterious person who originally wrote this post can confirm that this works on Windows 7.
You may notice that some people use space.local instead of space.sudo, and some devices in the spaces only have .local hostnames.

Not all things are labeled with QR codes.  Some need labels printed, others are better without.

===Additional===
 
====Maintenance====
 
There is going to be a maintenance and inventory of our existing electronics. (Suggested June 2013)
http://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2013-June/002912.html
 
* Created an ethernet pad for this - https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroommaintenance
 
====3D Models of Objects====
 
Project to add 3D models of various objects in the SudoRoom.
 
* Software - mobile software Autodesk 123Catch (anyone with a smartphone can scan a 3D object by taking up to 40 photographs of the object and stitching it up in the cloud) - very easy to use, even for beginners who don't know CAD at all
* Hardware - eventually we'd like to get a 3D Scanner for SudoRoom
* Hosting - We'd like to eventually host these models as STL files on our own servers
* Add these models as uploaded files or in-wiki files for each inventory item, tied to the QR codes as well that we scan
