Right now we have 10 lockers at Sudoroom. Most of them have locks, but
no names, so we don't know who uses them. From now on, if you are
using a locker, please:
* label the locker with a name, nym, email or other contact info
* send an email to sudo-discuss or info(a)sudoroom.org to say which
locker you've taken
* pay if you can. right now we are asking $30/month although we're
open to other models.
If some lockers are still unidentified after a month or two, we may
take extreme measures...
Thanks!
fyi!

Here's a great opportunity for folks interested in Internet advocacy. I
talked with Dave while they were putting the fellowship together and it
sounds really exciting.

Hi Catherine,
Hope all is well. Thanks so much for the guidance over the past few months.
I’m excited to let you know that we launched the Ford-Mozilla Open Web
Fellows program last week. See the program here: www.mozilla.org/advocacy.
We’re accepting applications for 2015 Fellows now, and I am hoping that you
can help spread the news to your network — seems like an ideal opportunity
for Code for America alumni.
Here is a bit more about the program:
-
Protecting the Internet -- 2015 Fellows will work on a range of issues
-- from net neutrality to privacy to anti-surveillance -- that are core to
protecting the free and open web.
-
Attracting a Diversity of Talent -- Fellows will receive a stipend plus
all sorts of living expense add ons. We want to get the best and most
diverse pool of talent out there.
-
Using Tech to Inform the Policy Discussion -- Fellows will serve as
ambassadors, mentors, and guides to their nonprofit hosts. They will work
in the open helping to better inform the policy discussion throughout civil
society and government.
The application window closes in December. It would be so helpful to the
program — and to building the army to protect the Internet -- if you would
let your network know about the Fellowship opportunity. Let me know what
you think and, if you can help, I’ll send you messaging (tweets, posts,
etc.) to make it easy to spread the news. I’d also love to hear any ideas
you have as we shape and build the program for the future.
Thanks so much!
--Dave

Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for rise above's space
To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Cc:
Just to update everyone on the proposal for the space I'm hoping to use for
my work at the Omni. If there is consensus on it I'd like to continue
preparing the space this month to move into it in November.
The space I'd like to print in is the old utility room adjacent to the
cafe. Once the kitchen is moved I will move the wall behind the stoves back
to where it is in the floor plans, leaving a hallway that supplies
sufficient egress to the exit.
For the wash out room I would like to use a portion of the upstairs spa
room, as in the drawing below. Although it wold be nice to have that on the
same floor as my shop I'm not sure that installing the plumbing to the area
near the walk in fridge is as feasible financially or time-wise right now.
Perhaps that can be done further down the road.
I'd also like to have a small desk at some shared office space in the
building. Maybe either the ticket room or the old TIL space?
If the delegates approve this proposal I'd like to ask that the utility
room no longer be used to store trash. I am willing to help get the
building some more larger trash cans from waste management if the working
group in charge of those facilities is interested in that.
I'm looking forward to discussing this with you all on Thursday night.
Many thanks!
Gabriela

Two years ago I was given the opportunity to light a fire under the comfy
haunches of some of Oakland's finest hackers. The Sudoroom hosted The Bay's
last screening of Bike Smut, a touring, erotic, bicycle film festival
Bike Smut 8: Come Again plays Tonight, Wednesday October 8th at Feelmore
510 in Oakland. This is the only screening in Oakland.
Wed Oct 8th Downtown Oakland
Feelmore 510
1703 Telegraph Ave
9pm, $10 donation

But there is a BONUS screening just outside Oakland!
Thu Oct 9th Emeryville
GUAVA
4210 Holden St

Adults are not given agency to claim their adulthood in many positive
forms. We need your help in bringing more joyous liberation. Its time to
take control of our sexuality and our transportation!
The only way to see the Bike Smut Film Festival is when it plays for a live
audience. The various artists' interpretations about what is great about
sex and cycling are creative, clever, funny, and aware! Bike Smut has never
been just a single person's vision, rather, a coalition of the horny bring
this synthesis of transportation and sexuality to life.
Past contributors include Gus Van Sant, Courtney Trouble, Madison Young,
Tinto Brass, Pandora Blake, and countless more rad, sex-positive
filmmakers! This years submissions are from Oakland, Vancouver, Chicago,
Gainesville, Montreal, Berlin, Milan and Geneva!
I just rode my bike across Europe for 6 months then rode it south from
Oregon to Oakland. This weekend I start to ride south to LA. Come ask me
about hacking sexual health or better yet make a suggestion about how to do
it better. This project would not be as successful without the combined
brilliance of many curious and passionate minds.

Hi folks, I was given to understand that a sudoer could check out an LED
projector for an event. I could use one for anInside Urban Shield even
<https://occupyoakland.org/2014/10/inside-urban-shield-hear-inside-dope-disc…>t
tomorrow, I have one, but it is a low-energy 300 joule
<http://www.lg.com/us/projectors/lg-HW350T-micro-portable> jobbie, and I
wouldn't mind using a slightly higher wattage unit, if possible. I saw
a funky old Sanyo projector, but it didn't look like much of an
improvement over my little dude. I know there used to be one over on
the CCL shelves, but don't know if that has migrated. I could pick it
up tomorrow mourning/afternoon and return it after the event at 10 PM.
My list subscription is in daily digest mode, so CC me if you have words
of sage advice on the matter.

Hey all,
In my research for mesh outreach and collaboration (particularly
focusing on the Internet archive tower in Richmond), I ran into
Building Blocks for Kids. They are an organization formed with the
"mission of supporting the healthy development and education of all
children, and the self-sufficiency of all families, living in the BBK
Collaborative zone located in Richmond, California."
Part of their focus is on digital literacy and access and they are
currently looking to hire someone to lead this portion.
More info about the position:
http://bbk-richmond.org/staff/employment-opportunities/
They've already set up a couple of repeaters to spread the Internet
archive wifi access and have funding to set up many more as far as I
know. In the end, however, that makes all of these families dependent
on the tower so Peoples Open Network could help relieve this
dependency by meshing with those who can already afford Internet
access in their home.
Anyways, good opportunity for someone at Sudo looking for work as well
as further pushing this idea of them working with the mesh instead of
just setting up repeaters.
Cheers -
Paige

hi all,
i'm working with oakland public library to organize a combination net
neutrality teach-in and "secure your device" workshop on dec. 13th from
12-3PM.
if you would like to volunteer to help people secure their devices during
the event, please contact me off-list!

So the robot's control box has a bunch of constants relating to its
geometry, which are important for modeling it, so that we can tell it
where to go. These constants are stored in parameter arrays in the
robot's memory, preloaded from ROM when we initialized it.
Descriptions of the parameter values were found in a cave, in a file
called ERCPRM.HLP, scrawled in an ancient dead language, but a translator
was found and exported its contents to http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/ERCPRM.RTF
I have edited ERCPRM.rtf down to the following text file:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/params-important.txt
if someone can make a program that adds the actual value of each parameter
to this file, it will probably make things easier for whoever wants to
make a model of the robot.
the parameter data are here:
https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/blob/master/dat/PARAM.DAT
PARAM.DAT is a file starting with /PRM
then each parameter array starts with // and then the name of the array
and then PRM, all in one line, for example //RCPRM for the RC array.
Then the parameters are listed, ten per line, as a comma-delimited
list.
putting these values after their corresponding line in
params-important.txt would be totally awesome.

This Friday's title is called Nothing (1hr30). Directed by Vincenzo Natali,
2003 - Rated R.
After an especially terrible day, two friends find the oitside world has
become a nothingy void.
It's one of my favorite incredibly quirky movies, I hope you all enjoy it.
See you at 7 in the basement!

so far, all the robot programs we have extracted have coordinates stored
in PULSE format, meaning that all positions are stored as a list of
positions for the six axes. This means we have been trying to create a
math model of the robot's joints to get it to do our bidding.
however, today I was reading page 106 of this document:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/479236-17-Communications.pdf
and it explains more about the format of a Job file:
///PULSE : Indicates position data (pulse counts)
///RECTAN : Indicates position data (rectangular coordinates)
so far we have only seen PULSE, but we could try RECTAN and see if we can
feed the robot rectangular coordinates, like we do to a 3D printer.
also there is the line starting with ///ATTR
///ATTR a-p : Job data attributes
... m = Position data format, 0 pulse, 1 rectangular ...
and
///FRAME coordinate system : Identifies the job coordinate system
BASE = base coordinates
ROBOT = robot coordinates N = user coordinate number (1 - 8)
also, we should realize that the line ///NPOS describes the number of
coordinates in a job, and until now I thought we could simply add or
remove coordinate lines and that would be enough, but probably not.
See how the NPOS line always matches the number of coordinates (of each
type) in the jobs we have saved so far:
https://github.com/jerkey/yasnac/tree/master/jobs
all our jobs are FRAME BASE and coordinates in PULSE. I don't know how to
create a job any other way, so we will have to experiment.
