Hi Sudoers:
India’s repair culture gives new life to dead tech: the rise of
‘Frankenstein’ laptops in New Delhi’s repair markets
“...We need to encourage such reuse of materials. These repaired or new
hybrid devices minimize waste by extending a product’s lifespan and
reducing overall market waste. Reusing components cuts down on the need
for new materials, lowering energy use, resource extraction, and
environmental impact,...””

Doesn’t this seem like what we’re doing at Sudo Room?
Sincerely, -Peter
Tonight we'll open Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever,
or fix things you bring, or help people fix things, as part of Fix-It Clinic
in the past few weeks, we've had about 10-20 people over the course of the
evening
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/sudo-room-events/
I am usually there by 8PM but people do show up before me!
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call our telephone to get someone to let you in!
You can also come to the double doors on 48th street, this will be our "front
door" in the future, and this is where members are supposed to be coming in.
(442)252-8386 is our phone number, which spells "I HACK AT FUN"
We don't always the doorbell so please just call!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailing list! click here:

Hi Sudoers:
See the message below from our dear friend Jack at the Friends of the
Oakland Tool Lending Library: can you help them find a home for this
windfall? Email Jack directly.
Great seeing everyone at last night's visioning exercise, -Peter

Subject: Passthrough Donation of Tools?

Peter--
FOTLL has come into a large tool donation in Kensington. It includes a
table saw, router table, and bench grinder. FOTLL's storage space is
already overflowing. We'd be happy to pass some of this windfall along
to another nonprofit. The East Bay German International School has
first dibs for their planned Makers Space. Do any of the aforementioned
tools strike your fancy for immediate delivery -- today or tomorrow?
Onward and upward...
--Jack.
Happy Monday everyone!
I want to provide an update that we will be pushing back tomorrows building
gathering to the following Tuesday, April 1st from 5:30-7 pm (see the
attached flyer) Please encourage as many past and present Omni members to
attend!
In light of this change, I will also be extending office hours [SIGN UP HERE
<https://calendly.com/valerie-thecalli/30min>] for this week so that we can
get as much input on the Building Rules as possible. If those times lots
don't work for you but you are interested in meeting or going over the
document via phone I am amenable to that. Please tell all of your
participants and group members to submit a response through the FEEDBACK
FORM <https://forms.gle/hEJhREnduWD4im8L8>. You do not have to submit your
name and email address if you don't feel comfortable and would prefer to be
anonymous. I welcome feedback in all forms and want to help meet people
where they are. If there are opportunities to outreach about the feedback
form and upcoming gathering at your groups upcoming events please let me
know.
Note that after this review process once any updated edits are made, the
Building Rules will be going into effect. While there will be annual
reviews and edits may arise when major changes come up, this is still the
ideal timeframe to voice your perspective and engage with the content
before it starts getting implemented.
I look forward to hearing and seeing more input come through.
Take care,
--
