Just a heads up, tomorrow (Tuesday) a journalism student, Nicolle, is planning to come by to try and get some info on sudo room, to eventually write an article about us. They came by today and had a nice talk with us at WNB.
Nicolle seemed mostly interested in the chromebooks but also asked a lot of general questions. I wont be there tomorrow but I hope someone can be welcoming!
Best,
Paige

Subject: [sudo-info] Interview about Women and Nonbinary Mondays
Hi,
My name is Nicolle Delgado, and I am a Journalist for Oakland North. I
wanted to do a story on the hackerspace and, specifically, on Women and
Nonbinary Mondays, so I was wondering if anyone at Sudo Room would be
available to do an interview about the space, or if anyone could put me in
contact with women and nonbinary people who have attended these weekly
events in the past.
Thank you,
Nicolle
Dear all,
We are hosting a workshop on "open hardware" for environmental research
during Radio night!
Join us at Sudoroom this Wednesday (Dec 3rd) at 7pm to discuss and
assemble environmental kits for air quality monitoring.
** Please drop a line to Jake and I ** if you want to join, so we can
save you a kit.
We will distribute kits for folks who have a safe place to host them and
those who have interest in working with the data on environmental
justice issues.
If you do not want to keep one of the kits, it is all good! You can
still come to hang out and discuss the state-of-the-art in
community-based environmental sensing. The workshop is open to all!
p.s. we have a limited number of kits, so first-come-first-served =)
Best wishes,
LF + Jake.

Does anyone know of a person that goes by "Leslie Winns"? Yesterday 11/15
at 7:11pm they sent an email to EBFNB (East Bay Food Not Bombs) prior
listserv which the address is still on the Omni's wiki. The email states a
serious accusation towards a community member. EBFNB are in a conversation
with the member accused but was not able to reach "Leslie Winns" by the
email it was sent from...Please contact me directly if you have any info.
Thanks.

Maybe Sudo Room could add an AI thought leadership practice? Or add it
as a component to our existing and emerging programming?
“...The notion that AI is a worker, not a tool, can too easily continue
the devaluation of human agency that has been the hallmark of regimented
work (and for that matter, education, which prepares people for that
regimented work) at least since the industrial revolution. In some
sense, Huang’s comment is a reflection of our culture’s notion of most
workers as components that do what they are told, with only limited
agency. It is only by comparison with this kind of worker that today’s
AI can be called a worker, rather than simply a very advanced tool...”
