This artist is visiting town and wanted to know if he could speak at Sudo
Room or give away any art. I told him that we don't have anyone dedicated
to organizing this kind of event, but that I'd ask if anyone wants to.
If you'd like to host him during November, put it on the calendar and go
for it.

Good Morning,
I am a Guatemalan Artist in Canada. I am wondering if your space would want
to be part of a project I've been Working on.
https://jaredarmandosofoifa.com/the-ocean-gives/
This is my largest painting to date. It spans roughly four feet by five
feet. I want to give it away in a raffle to anyone that shares a smile.
This year being in a position of comfort, it pained me greatly to see
everyone around me struggling with the rising costs of everything. Being
from Guatemala I have a deep knowledge of plants and how to cultivate them.
I volunteered my time at a giant garden in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
operated by the local food bank. I realized that I was focusing on the
wrong things, while it was great to feed people, as a painter I couldn't
stand by and not feed their souls. Given that fine Art is mostly out of
reach from the working class, I decided that I would rather "sell" my
painting for smiles. I want to provide people struggling for survival, to
have some kind of hope.
In our politicized world it is hard to be kind to others and not guarded.
What we need is community and unity. I feel like this project gets at the
core of what future artists will provide the world. If you would like I can
provide files for ready-to-print media including a poster with a QR code
and printable raffle tickets from anyone that does not have a 'smart'
telephone. As well as the poem about the painting.
I will be in the Bay Area during Nov.8th-Nov.23rd promoting my Art and the
seven works of writing I completed during COVID lockdowns in Canada, while
also working on my stand-up comedy and music at any open mics I can get
into.
I would be happy to give a brief Artists talk outlining the project and the
future role of Artists as we fight to stay relevant in a world where AI
threatens all our livelihoods.
Attached are some media provided to me from the Saskatoon food bank while
my painting was in their space.
It's not required, but as a working Artist I would greatly appreciate any
honorarium (if your organization can afford it) to help me with my travel
expenses and shipping cost for the painting.
Let me know your thoughts,
Sincerely,
Jared Armando Sofoifa
ps I'm the one in the pink hat. Also attached some additional paintings of
mine.

This is a documentary about Zionism, and how the ongoing colonization and
genocide of Palestinian people is whitewashed and sold to young American
Jews. It exposes the brainwashing, the army recruitment, and predatory
tactics such as youth groups, propaganda campaigns, and Birthright Israel.
It also highlights the growing movement of anti-Zionist Jews opposing Israel’s
colonial project and standing in solidarity with Palestinians.
After the movie, we will hold an optional facilitated social space for
people to process, learn, and have deeper conversations about the topic.
Our goal is to collectively unlearn Zionist ideas and biases, to reflect on
our various relationships to Israeli fascism, and to hopefully better
prepare ourselves to take action in the movement for a free Palestine.
People of all backgrounds encouraged to attend! You don’t need to be
Jewish, SWANA or anything else to unlearn Zionism. It has touched all our
lives.

Hello,
We will have a meeting at 7pm tonight at sudoroom. You can also attend
remotely at:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
i'd like to discuss selecting the next delegate. I'm planning to
attend tomorrow's meeting as sudoroom delegate, but would like someone
else to take over after that.
We can also discuss some of the other urgent matters facing Omni.
There is also an organization that wants to rent space at Omni,
introduced by Deb Gives. They are called "Jessie Bobbie Hall Dream
Youth Foundation".

Hi Sudoers:
Erica from Oakland has signed up for tonight's Software and Hardware
Hack Night with these two items:
1 Shop vac Craftsman CMXEVBE17250 It stopped working. I think it worked
too hard to pull air through a clogged filter.
2 Small air purifier Germguardian AC4100 It smelled and then stopped
working. I think the off-brand filter I bought didn’t let enough air
through.
Please give Erica a warm Sudorom / Omni Commons welcome; we typically
have many drop-ins who don't register and just show up.
In general you can check on preregistered items on this master Google
Sheet, scroll to the bottom to see the Sudoroom registrations:

outside?

"Thank you to everyone who attended the Python for Beginners workshop this
past Sunday! It was an incredible experience to see enthusiastic coders
come together to learn and network. Your energy and passion made the event
truly special.
A big shoutout to Juliana for hosting us at the Sudo Room! If you haven't
already visited, you're missing out on an incredible creative community and
hacker space.
And a huge thanks to our volunteers for your hard work and dedication.
