Looks like it's gonna be a whopper of a good conference coming up.

I can see lots of great bay area org attendees already signed up.
Wondering if/how Sudoers might add to the synergy? I may be out of town
(feeling FOMO already).

Subject: [sudo-info] We'd love to hold a generative-art vibe coding workshop with you
Hi there!
Two friends and I are interested in holding a short creative workshop (1–3
hours) dedicated to making generative art with “vibe coding” by using free
AI tools.
The workshop would be like a guided jam session for creativity with p5.js
and AI: no coding experience required, just curiosity and a laptop. But
coders will also appreciate it, and those that don't code will learn some
coding in the process. We'll help participants make animated visuals and
explore how simple AI prompts can create surprisingly beautiful results.
It's more about the vibe and self-expression than technical
perfection—ideal for artists, beginners, and anyone who likes to experiment
and play.
Timing is flexible. We'd love to do this before May 23 if possible, but if
not, we're open to doing it later too.
Yesterday I saw a presentation by this fellow. He is giving away a lot usd corportate laptop.
He developed a nix config to get a chromebook type exsperence. It's geared towards nontechnical people.
It autoupdates. He uses flathub for the software store.

Hi Sudoers:
Chromebook Rescue is on the Berkeley Unified School District Board
Meeting agenda for approval Wednesday night; it's been years to get to
this point:
https://simbli.eboardsolutions.com/SB_Meetings/ViewMeeting.aspx?S=36030527&…
(For background on Chromebook Rescue see http://bit.ly/cbsave)
Chromebook Rescue -- teaching people how to convert Chromebooks and
redistributing converted Chromebooks throughout the community -- is one
of Sudo Room's/Fixit Clinic's Good Works Community Outreach Projects
that coveys digital literacy, digital equity, and digital inclusion. We
should soon have lots of Chromebooks to work with so all interested
parties are welcome to join the fun.
Sudoers have been converting Chromebooks regularly on Mondays at Women /
Non-Binary Hack & Do Whatever Night and anyone else is welcome to do
this then or at other times as well. Not sure where to start? Convert a
Chromebook for yourself to play with (lots of us can help you) and
ponder how our communities might be different with essentially unlimited
and free laptops available to anyone who can use one.
Sincerely, -Peter
P.S.: On a related note: Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in
October and Fixit Clinic is part of a global initiative to convert
Windows 10 devices to alternative OSes too. -p
