It's a 2013 laptop; 4GB of RAM, two CPUs, and a built-in Radeon HD 8240
GPU. Not very fast, and the battery doesn't hold much charge. But it's
been reliably doing home server work for the last year!
Is this something sudo would be interested in having?

1st WNB coding night tonight! 🎉 If you identify as women/nb, come over!
Not sure how many will stop by, but excited! Will get there at 7, I think I
have everything I need, but what's the best way to contact any of you if
something comes up? Email this group?
Will report back how it went!

Anyone want to help a recent transplant to find the candidates that match
my politics for this upcoming election?
I'm aware that Omni and Sudoroom are required to be apolitical entities to
maintain their tax status, so I want to be clear that I'm asking for
individuals to give their personal advice on where to find voting guides
and what candidates I should inform myself about. No one's personal
opinions in this email constitute any kind of endorsement by Omni or
Sudoroom.

I'll be unavailable to host Hardware Hacking Tuesday this coming week, can
someone else do it? it's easy, you just host and onboard new people (not
babies, i mean people new to sudoroom) and explain to them the simple concept
of how things work here

In case my request gets lost, sending here a request to add the event we've
been talking about. Description is below, I think I would need that
Wordpress password to add it by myself, I looked at GitHub and I don't
think it's over there. Up to you folks, I'm fine with getting the password
or someone just adding the text below. I would like to add it to the wiki
as well.
The Sudo Room, a creative community and hackerspace at Omni Commons,
> invites all women/nb people for “Coding Owls - A WNB Coding Night”: bring
> your computer and a coding project and have fun! We can help each other if
> you have coding related questions/bugs or just keep company while hacking!
> If you are a beginner, we can help you get started (even if you’ve never
> coded before!). And if you're an intermediate programmer looking for a
> challenge, we can help you find problems to work on. No computer? No
> problem: we can provide one for the night. Coders of all abilities are
> welcome! All coding languages are welcome! Bringing a WNB friend is highly
> recommended. Coding is more fun with friends! Join in person if you’re in
> Oakland or online anywhere else in the world!

Does sudo room have a photocopy machine or risograph? Or just access to one
at Omni Commons? Or does anyone have access to one that can make copies for
free? Just wanted to print some flyers for the WNB night and spread around
in the neighborhood.

Hey, that's my first email to the group👋 I sent the same msg below to `
info(a)sudoroom.org` and got some answers from Jake and Andrew, who told me
to post here. So here it goes:
---------------------------------------
Hey, this is Juliana, a bit about myself, I'm originally from Brazil, have
been living in Oakland for 10 yrs, and in the last 3 ones I got more
involved in the tech world. In 2019 I joined a software eng bootcamp and
since 2020 I've been working as a software engineer. I never imagined I was
going to work in tech one day, much less be a software engineer. Having a
non-tech background and being a person from several underrepresented groups
in tech make it hard to imagine that's even a possibility.
Anyways, it's because of that that I've been trying to volunteer more and
more to help the community to conquer what I got, and that's where Sudo
Rooms gets in. I've heard about Sudo Room maybe 3 years ago but never had
the opportunity to be part of an event (cause pandemic..). I would love to
help organize some kind of event with women/nb only and have a "coding
night", where we can help each other in coding projects or even help ppl to
learn how to code. I see you folks have a JS night, so it would prob be
something similar.
I emphasize the women/nb only because this is a real barrier in tech, I
studied in a women/nb only bootcamp and that totally made a difference.
Even when men are allies and empathize with beginners, It's all about
seeing that other non-men can do that and feel empowered by that.
About my skills, I'm still Level I but have been working with Ruby on
Rails, Python, SQL, React, Typescript. I'm full stack although I prefer
backend :) So far I've volunteered/attended events from Techtonica, Women
who Code, Wnb.rb, Ruby for Good, Lesbians who Tech, PyLadies, etc.

Let me know if this is something Sudo Room would be interested in hosting!
