Come be my guinea pigs! THIS Sunday Nov 1 at sudoroom, 3 pm: Exquisite Corpse for Electronics workshop

by Alessandra Nölting

Hi all! Help me test-drive my first Hackaday Supercon workshop! 🗓️ Sunday, Nov 1, 3-5 pm 📍 Sudo Room @ Omni Commons, Oakland✋ RSVP: reply here so that I know roughly how many people are coming! I'm running my first-ever workshop at Hackaday Supercon this year. It's the "exquisite corpse" drawing game, but for electronics, and I'd love to do a trial run with friendly local faces first. Come be my workshop guinea pigs! Here's how it will work: Everyone gets a small synth module and modifies it in secret. Then we chain all the blocks together, power them up, and find out whether our collective creation plays a tune you'll recognize. Think Lego Great Ball Contraption, but for sound, with lots more ways to go gloriously wrong. No experience needed. I'll ask for your feedback at the end, so you'll get to help shape the real thing. I will bring snacks & drinks. Come help me make it awesome? 🎶🔌 It would mean a lot to have you there! Is there an official sudoroom calendar that I can post this to? Can anyone point me in the right direction? - Alessandra Official listing: https://hackaday.com/2026/10/14/2026-hackaday-supercon-workshops-are-open/ Exquisite Corpse for Electronics workshop - This Sunday Nov 1 at sudoroom, 3 pm

We need six more committed volunteers. Signup is open now; installation availability and next steps will be emailed later. https://groups.google.com/g/flockaware-android-testers We would value honest usability and bug feedback when access opens.

shared video audio editing resources

by Baasma Prodisoru-Atallah-Beyler

Hi All, I'm looking for shared resources for a friend that does video work but is low in computer funds at the moment. They would likely give back when their situation changes. I'm wondering if there are any workstations available to use for video and audio editing. Ideally with tools like proLogic final Cut. Ideally with 24+GB RAM. warmly Baãsma On Fri, 02 Oct 2026, 09:45 , <sudo-discuss-request(a)sudoroom.org> wrote: > Send sudo-discuss mailing list submissions to > sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject or > body 'help' to > sudo-discuss-request(a)sudoroom.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > sudo-discuss-owner(a)sudoroom.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of sudo-discuss digest..."Today's Topics: > > 1.
