Maker/hackerspaces around the country will also be organizing "Maker Meals" where they invite their neighbors to sit down over a meal or potluck. If anyone in Sudo would like to help organize such a "Maker Meal"
together with CCL, please let me know! I don't think we have enough free
energy to do one of these by ourselves right now, but we are definitely
planning to write a letter of support. We're targeting all this for the week of November 15, when there will be a big announcement planned for the Nation of Makers initiative. The email I attached below has much more info on everything that is going on with Nation of Makers, Maker Meals, letters of support, etc.<br><br></div><div>Along the same lines, I recently reached out to Oakland Makers to see if they were still alive. They were very active two years ago or so, with a ton of support from the City under then-mayor Jean Quan, but it seems they mostly went dormant for the past year. To my surprise I got an immediate email back from Hiroko from 25th Street Collective, suggesting we set up a conference call or meet up with Karen Cusolito from American Steel and Danny Beesley.
