Looking for Ford truck mechanic

by J.C.

Hey all sending out a random ping looking for some expertise. I've got a 1994 Ford e350 Ambulance that needs some work, and need to get up and running so I can bring it by sudo room. I'm parked in Castro Valley at the moment if anyone has suggestions on where I might found a kick'n grease monkey. I also have a larger project for anyone interested or that has resources for upgrading to run on grease aside from diesel/bio.

Hello beautiful people that I love and can't get enough of! This is a reminder that tomorrow's Local History Editathon will be held at none other than Sudo Room! This will be a really exciting event, as we'll have the opportunity to add content to the wiki on Oakland-based hackerspaces (such as none other than Sudo Room)! We will also have access to Oakland Wiki's growing collection of neat texts on Oakland history. If you have a great resource you'd like to bring and share, we'd love to access it! We will be holding the event at the usual time (1-5pm). See you soon! V

by Vicky Knox

In response to last Wednesday's open-ended conversation about alcohol consumption at Sudo Room, I've created a discussion hall-style page on our wiki in which we can collectively explore legal, human and other implications of alcohol consumption at SR. Take a look at what other people are thinking, and contribute your own questions and ideas: HERE<http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Alcohol> ! VickykciV

Hand signals for general meetings (wiki page)!

by Vicky Knox

Listservants, During this week's general meeting I started a conversation on using hand signals during meetings as a way to rank speaker order and mark shifts between the topic at hand (*sad trombone*) and the conversation's meta-process. A number of you spoke up with a lot of great perspectives and ideas. This email is intended to net in the lot of you interested in this topic so we can create a concrete proposal for an upcoming general meeting. Check out our beautiful wiki page <http://sudoroom.org/wiki/Hand_signals>, and help refine the proposal! VickykciV
