hi all,
we are creating a sudoroom 501c3/legal needs private email list. anyone
who is involved in the inner-workings of sudoroom is welcome to join,
but otherwise we are keeping the list closed, as per the recommendation
from a lawyer and realizing it's important to have security around some
things.
we talked about this at the meeting the week before last and ok'd it. we
will OF COURSE share all developments with the larger list. and no
decisions will be made without consult of sudoroom. it's just to make
sure we don't have a public list with private information on it.
let me know if you want to join or if you have any questions about the
list. and i'll add you or answer your inquiry.
all my best,
april
Unless someone volunteers to take it on. You'll need a car or you'll need
access to a car. I know we had Amgo's truck around for common use - maybe
someone could drive that each Saturday to get the meals? Fill out this form
if you want to help feed the revolution:

I'm out of town until January.

Last year we got $4k from SoEx as a grant. They sent us this offer as a
previous winner to find out how to get more money in different places. I
can hook up anybody that wants to go.

Subject: Opportunity for Upcoming Professional Development Workshop at
Southern Exposure

Dear former Alternative Exposure Grantees:
I hope this message finds you well.
I wanted to let you know about an upcoming opportunity here at SoEx I'd
like to invite you (and any of your current/former project collaborators)
to apply to if you are interested. It is a 1-day intensive professional
development workshop offered by Creative Capital on February 1 and we are
accepting applications through January 4. It's a great resource and the
costs of the workshop are being subsidized so it's free to attend for
selected participants. As a former Alt Ex grantee I think you would have a
lot to contribute to this group session so I highly encourage you to apply
before the deadline. More information and a link to the application can be
found on our website here.

Thanks and have a great holiday!
Carey
Hey all,
I'm having some trouble with shawn in the bookstore.
He comes in and makes a mess and is rude and obstinate when I ask him to
clean it up. In general he's pretty nasty to me and while I am sympathetic
to his situation I'm going to have to start asking him to leave the
bookstore when I am here.
N
fyi!

Hey all!
The Fundraising Committee just set up a Thunderclap to signal boost our
crowdfunding campaign in its last week.
It's highly likely that we're going to extend the campaign another 3 weeks,
but we need your help to make the message go viral!
What you need to do:
* Go to our Thunderclap URL here:
https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/20506-crowdfund-a-commons-in-oakland
* Link your Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr profiles to the Thunderclap
* Add a personalized message or just opt to retweet/repost/reblog the
existing message
* That's it! Thunderclap will schedule the message to go out on December
30th!
Let's see how big we can grow our reach!
<3

I am looking for someone who can help me write an email in chinese, for
the purpose of specifying a technical design to a chinese factory. My
first attempt to communicate with a diagram did not work out.
If you or someone you know is available to help me translate an email, I
would appreciate it. I don't trust google translate to do a good job, and
I respect the engineers in China enough not to send them a computer
translation.
The information I need to convey is the wiring pattern for a pedal-power
generator which will be part of a product where people can power their
laptop (or television or whatever) by pedalling a stationary bicycle.
thank you!
