Hi There!
My name is Dustin O'Hara. I'm from Los Angeles. I'm a doctoral candidate
and researcher from UCLA. I'm very interested in the Sudoroom, with a
special interest in the Sudomesh project. I will be visiting the bay area
in early December (5th-9th) to run a weeklong workshop with some high
school students.
I was hoping someone from Sudoroom / the Sudomesh project might be willing
to meet with us and tell us about the space and projects. Additionally, if
someone is interested in running a hands on workshop with us, we have a
budget that we could hire someone or make a donation to the Sudoroom with;
this would be ideal if possible.
All the best, and thanks!

New subject: possible equipment donation from my bankrupt company
Hi All,
The solar company I've worked for the past ~2 years has been in
bankruptcy for the past several months and I'm told whatever equipment
they don't sell to employees is up for donation around year's end. Alot
of the cooler stuff is already gone but there is quite a bit left.
If there's interest in some commodity networking equipment, I can take
some pics of what's there or better yet someone from Mesh could come to
the office in Belmont one day when I'll be there and look through the
piles. We have to wait for final liquidation before anything can be
released so it might be a process of putting a sticker on everything of
interest and then stopping by with a pickup truck to grab all the
stickered objects when we get the signal.
Cheers,
Hol

Alright well it sucks that the company is dying. What kinda stuff is it?
Anything wireless or any RJ45 male/female plugs or spools of ethernet
cable? If there's anything like that then I'd be up for coming by like a
vulture with a bunch of stickers :)

It ranges from office IT stuff to infrastructure that was either about
to go to or just came back from field sites, probably some sim card
modems. I'll look out for spools and plugs thursday.
It's OK - management made a gamble that was kind of shortsighted but
would have worked if investors hadn't gotten spooked. SunEdison will
supernova and distribute its heavier elements (such as ethernet
terminations) across the galaxy, and the solar industry overall is
booming so hopefully I won't be impacted for too long whenever the pink
slip does come.
