hello fellow sudoroom members and friends,
TL;DR: I am Sudoroom's delegate to Omni Commons and I have been representing
our collective will regarding Omni Commons collective decisions. Get involved.
Come to sudoroom meetings Wednesdays and consider serving as one of our delegates.

----
I have been serving as sudoroom's "delegate" to the Omni Commons delegate's
meetings which happen on the first and third Thursdays of each month.
The next delegate's meeting is March 3rd as seen on the calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/omni-general-assembly-4-2022-03-03/
since Sudoroom meetings have been sparsely attended and informal, I have had to
represent our position on issues in an ad-hoc way based on what I thought we
would want if we had discussed things as a collective. This is not the way it
should be, but Omni needs to keep functioning even though Sudoroom is not
running at full speed yet.
If you are part of sudoroom, please come to meetings, and help spread the word
before meetings, so that more people show up. Meetings will need a facilitator
at least, and someone will have to take notes onto the wiki. If you want a
wiki login so you can do this, click here: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Special:RequestAccount
If you want to learn how this process works, explore the following link and
then ask questions on this list: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meetings
there's mention of the fact that we don't publicly post our meeting scratchpad
URL anymore, because there were trolls in the past. Hopefully the trolls all
died or found whatever they were missing in life, but the point is that the
links to the notes will be in the video chat that we all meet in, so we don't
have to deal with that (hopefully).
The emails that go out every week to remind us all about the meeting will
contain the link to the video chat, which will probably be the same thing we've
been using for the telescreen. So ideally, you join the meeting from your
computer (or in person at sudoroom) so that you can have the chat open as well
as a window where you're looking at the notes (or editing them) to follow
what's going on.
see you wednesday at the meeting, if not sooner!

Greetings Sudo Room!
This is your monthly donation invoice. Thank you for stewarding the
commons!
Love and solidarity,
Omni Commons Finance Working Group
Last night we had new people visiting, a surprise visit from folks who
haven't been around in a long time _and_ a bunch of great donations of all
kinds of components, microcontrollers and random useful bits (that have
mostly been sorted into bins).
We have at least one new potential member to formalize as an actual member
and a bunch of updates on improvements that have been happening in sudo
room, and the greater Omni, so come hang out!

Went on the east bay bike ride and kept thinking of more cool ideas with projectors - like some kids said why not bike and aim the laser visual at the ground? It’d be very pretty mixed in with movement
I like my small projectors it’s cool! Psyched to get started 😸

Hey everyone,
How was last night's meeting? I wanted to declare my intent to join and
discuss ways I can get started volunteering on any ongoing projects, but I
didn't get on until after it ended. So I'll drop my info here so everyone
can look it over before next week's meeting.
First, here's my new sudohumans profile:
https://humans.sudoroom.org/~andrewrgross
*Declaration of Intent to Join*
*Who I am*
My name is Andrew R Gross ("R" is my full middle name) and I'm a
politically conscious hacker and maker who just moved to Oakland from Los
Angeles.
*Why I want to join*
I'm looking for many things that I've gotten from previous experiences with
makerspaces: companionship; a rich well of technical expertise from which
to learn and contribute; an organizing structure in which to effectively
execute complex projects; and access to tools.
*What I'm excited to do*
I'm excited to use the laser cutter and the 6-axis arm, as well as to be a
part of something I have the power to improve through my volunteership.
*What I'm excited to share*
What I'd like to share is my time and my energy, as well as my unique
perspective (unique in the sense that we're all unique: my perspective
isn't uniquely valuable relative to anyone else's). I like to clean and to
organize group projects. I like to pay forward to others the good vibes and
support I've been fortunate to receive.
*References*
Anyone interested in getting to know me should contact CRASHSpace
hackerspace in LA <https://blog.crashspace.org/>, where I've been an active
member in good standing for a while. You can send an email to the general
mailbox <https://blog.crashspace.org/contact/> or just drop into the email
discussion list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crashspace> to ask
for general impressions about me.

OK I'm just starting the inkling of doing cool stuff with light
projections. Got tons of assistance from Ian with a stronger projector - I
actually just enjoyed pointing the projector manually versus making
something overly involved in Blender (Blender is not very intuitive and I
think even when i know all the keystrokes it would be hard to have the same
spirit)

I think I want to go all in on Blender (maybe i"m just lazy and hate
pointing and clicking) but also draw on other art forms like indonesian
puppets

We also checked out the sudoroom ballroom and there are a lot of ways to
create an immersive room because there are galleries with movable walls.
I'm pretty excited! i also bought my own mini projector... imagining a
whole fleet of artists with their own mini projectors running around
projecting on canvases, just creating this little world with all their
art 😎
