Hi all, Some East-Bay activists recently asked me if we could build a change detection system for the Oakland City council website. As it is, activists have to spend tons of time and be super vigilant, because agenda items and even whole meetings can be rescheduled at the last minute, making it difficult to show up for public comment, etc. With an automated change detection system, they could save a lot of effort watching the city website and scrolling through PDFs and a lot more on organizing. Is anyone interested in doing this work? I am, but I'm kinda intimidated and would love to work together with someone. Thanks, --Elaine

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 17:14:07 +0000 From: Joe bailey <jws.bailey(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [sudo-info] Something your members may be intrested in It does require a sign in to vote- this link is directly to my workshop project rather than my page, hopefully this works, thanks for letting me know https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/c33139a4-08e3-4a3b-af64-621980ffd… Hello, my name is Joe Bailey. I am a young creative from York, England, UK. I have been around hackerspaces and workshops all my life- one of my biggest passions is Lego! Inspired by Nottingham and York Hackspace in the UK, I have made a Hackspace/workshop in a tool box out of LEGO! This project is now live on the LEGO Ideas website. You are one of hundreds of Hackerspaces globally that I am contacting. I am contacting you to ask you to share the link with your members and as many people as you can and ask them to vote, if the project gets 10,000 votes on the lego ideas Website, the LEGO company may turn it into a real set, and I think a lot of your members would be interested in that! (Link below) I hope you and your members think this is worthwhile and a cool set. Your support in this huge endeavor is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance https://beta.ideas.lego.com/profile/772405ff-cedf-4301-b3ef-6d359ac64c7b
