When I get here was really nice what if people went in mass to eighth Street and then took the train back to Omnicom in the afternoon maybe on the weekend and modified the fines that they found there

The San Francisco Foundation's Community Impact Fund offers low-interest
loans to nonprofits. Â One of the loans in their current portfolio was
made to a nonprofit for a building renovation. Â If Omni Commons hasn't
already looked into it, it might be worth reviewing...

Hi Sudoers:
As always we successfully repaired lots of stuff at Hardware and
SoftWEAR Hack Night last week.
Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and
it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to
go and what to do.So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to
greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get
them started on their projects?
Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is
working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the
sidewalk.
This week we have no item check-ins at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins but
we typically get lots of walk-ins. And Hilary writes that they are
bringing two Chromebooks to convert to Linux:
Hi Peter,
   I have two old (5+ years) chromebooks that have passed their EOL
(2022 and 2021) but are still working ok (the trackpads tend to fail on
these cheap models). However, my senior clients (I volunteer at Ashby
Village) cannot use them to login to their Kaiser account (they get a
message "please update your chrome browser"!). …I remember reading about
a plan to refurbish that bypasses the EOL problem. Do you know anything
about this?
thanks
Hilary
1. Lenovo N22-20 ; Model Name 80SF
2. Samsung 501C ; Model Code XE501C13-K02US
Can someone look out for Hilary and get them started disassembling the
Chromebooks to remove the write protect screws? (The entire process is
outlined here: bit.ly/cbtuning )
Many thanks, -Peter
This is a great introduction to the opera for newcomers, and it's only $10
for a ticket to the SF Opera. Really fun, great stuff, and you get to dress
up too!

I just heard back from the guy I know who does philanthropic work.
He says he can’t help. I’m not surprised, but I figured it was worth asking.

Literary Digital Creator Afternoon (Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality)
https://lu.ma/4jijdicl
An early afternoon jaunt to work on a quick XR (Augmented reality / Virtual
Reality) piece inspired by the a literary work. An example is the Eurydice
<https://youtu.be/cn56ix7xKEc?si=woQw3_u2MEIic3c->piece that was shown at
the Venice Bienniale.
Literary Inspiration for a Digital World
<https://sudoroom.org/events/18159/>
Hopefully at the end of the session we'll have something we can share
across all headsets and phones in augmented or virtual reality (one
possibility is webXR which we've played around with to showcase Sudoroom
here https://fancy-charming-physician.glitch.me )
Inspiration: Octavia Butler
We'll be taking a look at Octavia Butler's science fiction Eartheed trilogy
which was one of the inspirations for Kara Walker's piece Fortuna and the
Immortality Garden (Machine)
<https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/fortuna-and-the-immortality-garden-machin…>
currently on show at the SF Moma museum.
