Hi all, Dennis from our Oakland Wiki crew asked me if I could fwd this to
the sudo discuss list in case anyone has time this week to help a
non-profit evaluate the quality of donated computers:
"The Garden Street Family Shelter is receiving donated computers this week.
However, they would like to assess the quality of the computers to ensure
that they possess the capacity to service them. They are seeking
assistance from someone with a technology background to look the computers
over. The computers are currently located in downtown Oakland at the
Private Industry Council.
If anyone is interested or has the time let Dennis Rojas know at
510-290-9705 or dennis.m.rojas(a)gmail.com.
Dennis"
I've copied him here. Please let him know directly if you can help, or
forward to anyone who you think might have time to help.
Thanks!

Sudoers,
The awesome Micaela from The Public School has launched a much-needed
system for coordinating the common space at 2141 Broadway, and I've been
adding content to it this afternoon:
http://2141broadway.wordpress.com
The calendar has been updated with the regular meetups and events that tend
to use the common space throughout the week. If I've missed something,
please drop me a line.
The site also contains guidelines on having events & meetups in the common
space, a form for proposing events, info on access and directions, some
notes on safety, and soon, a safer space policy! If you're interested in
working on a Safe Space policy, contact me off-list and we can coordinate a
brainstorm session in tandem with The Public School.
Yours,
Jenny

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that you are welcome to join us this Saturday (7/6) at 2PM
for Today I Learned: GIT Version Control for Non Coders (Writers, Lawyers,
everyone!)<https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Today_I_Learned#July_6:_GIT_Version_Control_for_N…>
.
What is git anyway? "Git allows a team of people to work together, all
using the same files. And it helps the team cope with the confusion that
tends to happen when multiple people are editing the same files."
[source<http://www.quora.com/What-is-Git-used-for-What-does-it-do-exactly>
]
It is one of the primary ways that coders work together and one of the key
tools in the development of open source software. Although it's mostly used
by coders, it has lots of potential uses for people who don't code and is
very useful for anyone who is learning to code.
We will be learning all about version control and trying it out ourselves!
No prior knowledge is necessary.
See you soon,
Marina
hi all,

the light switches) is missing and it needs to come back!
