> Dear SHOT Member;
>
> SHOT is pleased to announce the launch of a new open-access initiative, Technology's Stories: Past and Present (http://historyoftechnology.org/tech_stories). Technology's Stories is a digital magazine dedicated to exploring technology in history and in contemporary life.
>
> Our inaugural issue "Policy, Activism, and Popular Culture: Putting Technology’s Stories to Work" offers articles by Sharon Irish, RIchard Hirsh, and Heather Prescott, each offering a fascinating example of historians crafting what Colin Divall calls a "usable past."
>
> If you would like to contribute to Technology's Stories, please contact Erik Rau or Suzanne Moon at techstories(a)techculture.org. As a new initiative we are eager to hear your ideas and suggestions. We welcome a wide variety of approaches to telling technology's stories: essays, slideshows, interviews, video or other ideas you may have.
>
> We would like especially to invite libraries, archives and museums to provide us with news, announcements, or multimedia presentations about pertinent exhibits and collections.

Another thing we talked about with Oakland Digital was the advantage of being able to manage the common area.
Peer Production would sub-lease the individual rooms to the groups/companies at proportionally lower rates and create a layer of institutional membership that could help offset costs and facilitate responsible use of the common area.
For example, if the individual rents for entities collecting together that want to be tenants in specific rooms were reduced by some 15-30%, institutional membership for organizations wanting to use the common area but not interested in being tenants could collectively pay for that percentage reduction. This would also encourage the expansion of the network with participation from the multiple collaborative groups and their programs and activities.
Institutional membership also allows for individual people to share the risks and burdens of monthly dues within a sub-group cluster. In other words, if one person can't pay that month, but is active and contributing, that person's contribution and participation could be covered through their affiliated organization.
The Mass Effect (https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mass_effect) event is taking place this Friday, Jan. 10, evening and on - at the 2141 Broadway location of Sudo Room and Bay Area Public School. If there are other tenants of the building on the list, I imagine the organizers would be delighted if you came by.

> Hi everybody,
>
> We're having a night of collectives on January 11th in the common space. If you're in a collective or cooperative and want to share your effects in the community, resources you offer, then this is an opportunity to share it with those who aren't interested in hierarchies or the identities formed by those hierarchies.
>
> With the help of many people we've created a list of collectives and cooperatives in the Bay Area. A lot of people are excited about forming a collective of collectives at the Omni and this event should facilitate that conversation, among many other conversations.
>
> For more details and the list: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mass_effect
>
> The ever-changing and tentative schedule is:
>
> 6PM: Collective effects
> 7:30PM: Poetry
> 9PM: Music, art, dance, and food
>
> Essentially time to share the effects and ideas of your collective, then time to get to know each other better (or party).
>
> Take care,
> Jeremy
