It's nice to have the Omni Commons building so that we can have sudoroom in it (and for other reasons) unfortunately we have to find a new loan, since our present one expires in December, and we will have to come up with almost $900,000 and the only way to do that is with another loan. We have the building as collateral, and it's worth a lot, but for various reasons it's not as easy to get a loan as you might think. Does anyone want to work on this so we don't lose the building? Literally we have no prospects right now. -jake

social studying at women’s coding night – Sudo Room

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/social-studying-at-womens-coding-night/ This is a pretty casual blog post but with permission from Juliane and the others. I’d like to start posting more peoples personal projects here if they are not on the blog Thinking about maybe doing a today I learned which we used to do 10 years ago. The topics were pretty cool back then they range from Mads to Computer Science to stuff like cooking. I think I can’t remember. Also, now that everything‘s opening up again it’s pretty cool I’m hanging out at the mechanics library in mannys in San Francisco mission there is so much stuff going on involved with a local community. I’m just trying to think of ways to bring that stuff back to Sudoroom because I definitely do bring it but it’s all inside my head like I’m going to go see the SF opera folks talk about the stuff that they’re doing at the Mechanics’ library tomorrow night. Had to bring stuff like that into the Sudoroom like also a Mechanics’ library has a big chess club. Maybe they can do a chest and I’ll ballroom someday I’m not sure it’s like something like that would be like really cool I think. Sent from my iPhone
