Hey all,
I made a deposit today from the donation bin with $260 dollars, bringing
our bank account total to ~$1020.
Our invoice from the landlords is $1,661.50
We need to raise ~$650 to pay rent PLUS another $500 to maintain our bank
account minimum and not be charged for being below the minimum.
*How can we raise up to $1,150 by say, Monday?*
Some ideas I'm throwing out there and discussing with folks in the space at
the moment:
- Ask folks to pay their dues! Encourage your friends.
- Throw a fund-raiser this Saturday (take donations, give beverages,
performances)
- Reach out to different groups that use the space.

"Today I Learned" has leveled up to "Today We Learned"!
We've had a lot of fun at TILs and other events (open hack nights at LOL
makerspace <http://pocmakerspace.org/>!) learning together informally, so
we're trying out a new format for Saturday afternoons - open co-learning
with time available for people to give workshops, present things they're
working on, etc.
>From the wiki <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_We_Learned>:
Hi everyone! We're trying out a new experiment in co-learning.
*two hours of time*
Every Saturday from 2PM to 4PM (but really till whenever) in the common
area of Sudo Room.
*to learn together*
We get to figure out what that means. What's most useful to us? What do we
want to learn? What do we want to share? How do we want to do this?
*with minimal, optional coordination beforehand*
https://pad.riseup.net/p/twl
This pad has the next TWL's date and a bunch of empty space. Share what
you're planning on working on; what you'd like to learn; if you'd like to
sign up to do a workshop, do it here; if you want to give a lightning talk
about some new thing you're working on/learning, post it here (you can even
post a time...like, "I'll be giving a short talk on some new things I've
been working on at 3PM").
We'll fill up the pad throughout the week and we'll clear it out after that
week's session so that we have a nice, fresh sheet for the following week.
You can share the pad with others to invite them to your workshop or to
work on a topic together (for example, you can post that you'll be learning
python <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_%28programming_language%29>and
then send this to everyone you know to say "hey! i'll be learning
python! if you want to work on python together, come join me!").
come tomorrow for the first one & add what you want to learn/plan to work
on on the pad: https://pad.riseup.net/p/twl!

Hi everyone,
Join us tomorrow (10/5) at 2PM at Sudo Room for *Today I Learned: Follow
the Money*!
We'll be covering economics and the growth and control of money in today's
society. Topics covered will include the effect of taxation on economic
growth, the flow of money control via commercial banks, insurance
companies, and other financial intermediaries. Finally we will cover how
the flow of global money affects our federal, state and local economies.
More on the event.
*This workshop is part of the series “Today I Learned,” a series of free
workshops that take place every Saturday at 2PM at Sudo Room, a creative
community and hackerspace in downtown Oakland. Check out the full schedule
at http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned and please forward widely.*
