HARDWARE HACK NIGHT! THEME: OCTAVIA BUTLER
OCTAVIA BUTLER IS OUR THEME ON THIS HARDWARE HACK NIGHT AS WE MIX AI, PRINT
MAGAZINES, AND MORE!
*This week’s theme:* Print is hardware too! And what better muse can we
imagine than *Octavia Butler,* science fiction Goddess.
We’ll have a pre-hardware hack night presentation on creative ways to mix
print with electronics, use artificial intelligence in the most open source
and ethical way, and work on our SudoRoom print zine! Throw in some 3D
models into the mix too!
*e are inside the Omni Commons at 48th and Shattuck, see the link at the
end of this text to call in in case the doors are locked!*
○ *Projects:* can range from building course materials for teaching local
kids electronics to a robotic arm that draws, to light projection art, to
people building their own microchip boards! We provide the space, tools and
peer learning – you bring your project and enthusiasm!
*○ Group Sewing:* Learn to do simple mending or get help with technical
fabric and textile projects. In addition to regular machines our Sewing Lab
features heavy-duty industrial sewing machines and sergers. Our in house
sewing guru CC has worked for Academy or Art College, Tesla, SuitX, and
Zipline and has vast sewing machine repair and maintenance experience;
bring your own machine to tune up for tip-top operation and sew alongside
others.
*○ General Repair:* Fix it Clinic’s weekly Oakland residency: bring your
broken, non-functioning things – electronic gadgets, appliances, computers,
toys, sewing machines, fabric items, etc.– for assessment, disassembly, and
possible repair. We’ll provide workspace, specialty tools, and guidance to
help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item. First-time repairers and
“Fixing Families” are heartily invited. Learn more at

hey friends!
I *just* found out about this, might be fun, might be good networking,
etc. (And networking is always a good way to make people aware of omni and
our needs!)

When I get here was really nice what if people went in mass to eighth Street and then took the train back to Omnicom in the afternoon maybe on the weekend and modified the fines that they found there

The San Francisco Foundation's Community Impact Fund offers low-interest
loans to nonprofits. One of the loans in their current portfolio was
made to a nonprofit for a building renovation. If Omni Commons hasn't
already looked into it, it might be worth reviewing...
