Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Tommy York

I can't remember exactly from last week, but maybe you brought this up, Marc? I think this is a really great idea, which could bring in revenue (from the kits), more revenue (from workshops focusing on building the kits, and not necessarily for adults [sudo-kids?]), and members (from people who enjoy the workshops thoroughly). Though it is currently being done: If I remember correctly, I think people in the community - Mitch Altman? - do workshops like this. And though an internet "… [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Someone brought up electronic kits as a funding idea?

by Ryan Lyle

I propose the following: 1. Host circuit fabbing workshops on a donation basis. This is useful for both inexperienced Sudoers (ahem) as well as the community at large. Call it a workshop/training session. See step 2. 2. Enlist newly trained Sudoers and supportive community members in an afternoon of mass assembly. Provide beer. 3. Sell kits to those who weren't interested in building them. 4. Make bacon.

I went to sudoroom for the first time yesterday!!!

by Sonja Trauss

It's amazing! It's beautiful! I want to be a member and pay money but I don't want to come to a lot of meetings, is that ok? Would anybody be interested, do you think, in co-op mat pilates classes in the mornings? I really love pilates, but it's really expensive. You don't need machines at all to do it, all you need is a big carpeted floor. I think if a person has taken like 3 classes he or she is qualified to lead a class. I'd like to take turns leading. A potential downside I envision has … [View More]

Fwd: Volunteer to Turn Backyards into Gardens

by Marina Kukso

hi everyone, city slicker farms has an awesome program where they have volunteers turn people's backyards into gardens in 4 hours. although the resulting gardens appear to be closed source (with sharing of produce encouraged), it would be nice to learn the model of rapid garden set up so that we can set up our own network of volunteer built and community shared backyard gardens. so far julio, (possibly) diana, and i have signed up for the may 25th event, so if you'd like to go as a group … [View More]
