From: "Jenny Ryan" <jenny(a)thepyre.org> Subject: [sudoroom] Update on space @ 2141 Broadway Date: October 21, 2012 7:05:34 PM PDT To: Sudoroom <sudoroom(a)lists.hackerspaces.org> Hi folks, I've created a wiki page with detailed info about the spaces available at 2141 Broadway. Details here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/2141_Broadway Major caveat/potential opportunity: A solar company has evidently earned George's favor for the rental of the front area (not really shown in the photos, but it's the front room with the big windows overlooking Broadway) and the far side office room (also not shown). They are open to sharing the large common area, but clearly we should establish a rapport and make sure they're chill before moving ahead on the space. Bonus: this would bring energy costs for the building down to null, as they'd be installing solar panels on the roof. I'm also composing an email invite to friends and neighbors we'd like to share a space with. The subject is 'Toward a Federation of East Bay Hackerspaces," because regardless of whether any of these groups decide to share this particular space with us, I think having regular conversations around how we can support each other's endeavors and work together to provide a holistic hacker-friendly environment for the entirety of the East Bay is essential. Currently on the invite list: -LOLspace -Coyote Counter Collective -John (Berkeley fella who makes wheelchairs and specializes in mobility equipment hacking/repair) -Biohacker friends -Hackermoms -Ace Monster Toys -The Holdout -Noisebridge (callout to NBers living in the East Bay) -AnarchaFeminist Hacker Hive **Need contact info for: Fixit Clinic** The federation meetup will happen this Saturday, Oct 27th at noon. The front door to 2141 will be propped open, and we will gather in the space itself - up the stairs and through the door on the left. Plz post thoughts, opinions, ideas to this thread, or join us in #sudoroom on Freenode IRC (web portal here: http://sudoroom.org/chat).
