</style><font face="Gill Sans">As Tracy described in her earlier email
below, the only real obstacle to our joining is the cost - </font><font
face="Gill Sans">$100 one time application fee and then
$175/year membership.<br>
<br>
If we do join (and probably even if we don't), it seems like a
good idea to create some way of regularly organizing events
around Art Murmur. There was an ad hoc list of a few people who
expressed interest in helping out, but there wasn't much of a
coordinated effort. Tracy's set-up in the box office was awesome
last month, but we're going to need more reliable participation
for this to work. While an ad hoc group makes sense for
particular projects, I think some kind of stable, but dynamic
group of Sudo folk, even if just a few people, could really help
round up participation for displaying the art people make anyhow
as well as other coordination as required. I propose we form
something like a Dynamic Association for Displayed Art (DADA)
that rotates active contributors each month based on the
particular installations and projects are going on. Documenting
how we go about it each month on the Sudo Wiki would also be
really helpful for coordinating future events more efficiently.<br>
<br>
Given the Ferro Fluids phenomena transpiring in Sudo Room and
now the arrival of a giant papier-maché cruise-ship, </font><font
face="Gill Sans">we should get some Sudo folks on a cc:ed list
to communicate about the Aug. 3 Art Murmur. This group can
solicit people's art, make sure projectors, etc. are set up,
make sure there are cups to accompany the wine, make sure
teenagers don't exceed their turn playing Frogger, and other
logistics evidently requiring organization.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Gill Sans">I want to put together a 'happening'
connected to the box office maximum occupancy experiment on Aug.
3, if anyone else wants to help out with that. And with the
Ghostbusters showing at the Paramount - it would also be great
to get some help with the 8.5 ft. inflatable Stay Puft
Marshmallow Men (which ended up taking more than three hours to
hang from the roof of 2135 Broadway, even with the landlord
George's assistance.)<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Gill Sans">So since the August First Friday Art
Murmur is now coming upon us in a week and a half and with the
possibility of also doing something for the Saturday Stroll, we
should find out who's interested in being in the DADA committee
for August. Following up on yesterday's meeting minutes about
Art Murmur (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom">https://pad.riseup.net/p/sudoroom</a>), please let Tracy
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:kinetical@comcast.net">kinetical@comcast.net</a>) and/or me know and we'll start off the
planning discussion.<br>

So about the Art Murmur membership, I don't see anything on here
that would exclude us, it might require some small time
committments from people to have the "gallery" open. In theory
the gallery could just be the box office, with a rotating show.

The other thing though is there is a fee, it's pretty cheap for
an organization, but too much for me to pay alone. $100 one
time application fee and then 175 a year membership. Perhaps we
can consider this at a future business meeting.

I have yet to hear from any of you about your plans for the July
6th Art Murmur? Is anybody working today ?

<blockquote type="cite"><font face="Gill Sans">Hello all,
<br>
I joined the mailing list and attended the kick-off party
because of
<br>
my volunteer work at MetWest high school in Oakland. The
program there
<br>
is called "Mouse Squad" <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://ca.mousesquad.org"><http://ca.mousesquad.org></a>. It
teaches
<br>
students to be the Tech Help Team for their school (as the
District
<br>
does not have nearly enough techs to serve all the schools).
When we
<br>
asked the students at the beginning of the semester what they
would
<br>
like to learn, they said "hacking." So I set out to learn
about
<br>
hacking. I met Mitch Altman and Praveen Sinha at the kick-off
party
<br>
and invited them to come and talk to the students. Which they
did, and
<br>
the students were very excited and interested to learn about
<br>
hackerspaces. We also ordered Arduinos and electronics kits
for the
<br>
class, but unfortunately something went wrong with the order
and they
<br>
never arrived. Maybe next year! So now I would like to learn
more
<br>
about Arduinos and what you can do with them.
<br>
In my non-volunteer life, I am a technology consultant for
Oakland
<br>
schools and nonprofits, mostly trouble-shooting and coaching
teachers,
<br>
some technology planning. (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.a2zed.us">www.a2zed.us</a>) My background is
cognitive
<br>
psychology and information processing -- many years in
research at
<br>
UCSF.
<br>
I am interested in helping sudoroom with fundraising.
<br>
I look forward to meeting you all sometime soon.
<br>
cheers
<br>
Hilary

Hello All,

<font face="Gill Sans"><br>
<br>
Glad to see the thread still going!
</font>
<font face="Gill Sans"><br>
<br>
I was raised on fast-food and television in The (original)
Valley of Los
</font>
<font face="Gill Sans"><br>
Angeles County. Now I live in Oakland, slowly transplanting
family members
<br>
to the bay area. I work at the Public Library of Science,
and while I wish
<br>
to break free of the typical work doldrums, I am also quite
privileged--so
<br>
much so that in another set of circumstances, I would
probably do my work
<br>
for free!
<br>
<br>
Some call my generation millenials, others forsaken. I
believe we live in a
</font>
<font face="Gill Sans"><br>
critical age where power is concentrated and many face
needless
<br>
injustice--but also an inspirational period (just look at
this year!) full
<br>
of people who remind us of so many crucial (yet simple)
concepts. Thoughts:
<br>
<br>
1. Space: humans have volume, we take up room.
</font>
<font face="Gill Sans"><br>
2. Time: none of us have much of it.
<br>
3. Humility: integral response to the vastness of 1 and 2.
<br>
4. Empathy: essential quality for continued existence.
<br>
<br>
We have much to learn and do--and it should be rather
painless!
