Hi Friends at Sudo Room
Calling all groups in the Valley to host a FREE booth and strutting your stuff to 10,000+ enthusiastic young people and families...
FREE BOOTH SPACE APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN for the Saturday Sept 23
For San Jose Reid Hillview Airport Community Day
After a few years of COVID-era chilling etc, the Silicon Valley STEAM Fest crew is baaaaacccckkkk.... And we're helping build the next STEAM Fest & Aviation Faire at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport Community Day Saturday September 23, 2023!!!!
Where: San Jose Reid Hillview Airport
2500 Cunningham Ave, San Jose
When: Saturday September 23, 2023, 10am-3pm.
Our target is to attract at least 10,000 attendees. So we expect big crowds.
Got cool stuff to show off? Fancy science-y stuff, aircraft, fire trucks, hands-on science stuff, robots, RC airplanes, community resources of any kind, education stuff, recreation stuff, sports stuff, you name it, bring it on!
** Example: Got Science Technology Engineering Arts Math S.T.E.A.M? Or History too? OR anything educational and cool? Bring on the educational stuff
** Example: Got Robots? We are building a 'Robot Zoo' with a bunch of robotics-ed stuff. Bring on the bots!
** Example: Got Emergency Vehicles? We are building a 'Disaster Alley' featuring fire trucks, police, military, etc. Got emergency hardware? Or CPR classes or emergency prep or disaster response? Bring it on!
** Example: Got Community Service Booths? Boy Scout or Girl Scout or 4H etc recruiting, Rotary/Interact, Kiwanis/Key-Club, Boys & Girls Clubs, At Risk Youth programs, Volunteer Activities, Enviro/Eco groups, you name it? If it serves the community, this is a great crowd for outreach.
** Example: Got Education or Career or Military Service etc? We are spotlighting educational and career opportunities for local youth. Are you a recruiter for a college, trade school, armed forces, whatever? Apply for a booth and we'll get you in front of a bunch of potential students/recruits/etc
** Example: Got Airplanes? Well it is an airport after all, so if you have cool aircraft to display, let us know. And yes, we are working on high tech self-driving air taxies etc. What would be better at an Aviation/STEAM fest than demos of self-driving air taxis!?!?
Apply online asap and we'll try to fit you in:

Spread the word to people with other cool stuff to show off. The more cool exhibitors, the merrier!
We hope to see you Sept 23 at San Jose Reid Hillview Airport.
In the meantime have a great rest-of-the-summer! Stay safe and healthy!
Blue Skies!

Hey sudoers. I’m going to be in tonight at 8 setting up a cnc, hanging a
white board, and working in general facilities upgrades. If this is your
jam, please stop by and/or message me, by email or phone (412.657.5332)!
Cheers,

i've been tripped up this myself!!! People don't know where to go to log into
sudo humans (our monthly dontaions portal) and we don't make it easy!
when people go to https://sudoroom.org there is a "login" button but it takes
people to the wordpress login! they're trying to login to that with their
Sudo Humans credentials and getting nowhere.
And we need the money!
so can we change that login button to a disambiguation that makes sure that
people know where they're logging into?
to remind everyone, the proper link for sudo humans is this:
https://sudoroom.org/humans

unfortunately somewhere along the lines we stopped telling people how to
actually get our attention to be let into the building.
The Jitsi telepresence link is present but we need to explain that that's how
to get our attention to be let in. Otherwise people will show up and assume
the doors will be open.
We should edit the text at this meetup so it explains that!

D'oh I don't know why I didn't do this before but I copied all the sudoroom
events so they're very visible on our meetup page until mid august.
Sometimes people can't make it to one event so they look to the next one in
the future!
Feel free to change anything - I can add you as an admin or I can change
the listing myself. I started putting the fixit it clinic in here too

I can't make it to this one (Have family in town this week)
- feel free to ask me to be an admin on this experimental Meetup account
I'm testing out. You can then modify the events. We're using them because
it gives more visibility to SudoRoom and appears in people's meetup feeds.

I'm paying for the meetup account as an experiment. It's been successful in
bringing "outsiders" in for the women and non binary group
(I always point back to the sudoroom meeting page too)
https://www.meetup.com/sudoroom/events/294842373/
I made one for the hardware hack night adnt he women's coding night.
Is the Thursday group active?
I can't make it this week, but are there any nights when nobody or another
group is using the ballroom? I'm probably going to bring in some outside
folks and try to absorb them into sudoroom for the audio visual event.
I went to a nice art show in Berkeley, it sort of devolved into an
involuntary childcare event for all the women, but there were serious
artists, wondered if Is hould invite them to the space for an art show!
