I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the
event, but I'd really like to see it happen.
I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to
do it!
Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a
paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part
of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Hello all!
As you've already heard, Lindsay has bowed out of facilitating the
International Space Apps Challenge because she's just gotten another job
and there are only so many things she can pile on top of herself (new move
to a new state, new job, other life stuff).
I've been looking for another person to facilitate the event, considering
that we've already gotten you guys involved and I don't want to just leave
it to fall apart. So far, no one I've spoken to has been available. I was
hoping that someone in Sudoroom might be interested in running the event,
and Lindsay sent out an email to that effect, but no one responded.
So, I'm VERY sorry to have to put this on you, but now we have to make a
decision. Do we go forward? Or do we cancel?
If there is someone in the community who is willing to facilitate the
weekend, I'm willing to pay them for doing that. I'm also able to give
training, point the facilitator to videos, articles and other resources,
and generally support that person in feeling confident in running the
weekend. I simply can't do it myself, because I will be in Greensboro, NC
running the same event there.
What say you, sudoers? Is there someone who would like to take the event
facilitation role on? Or shall we contact the global coordinators and
apologetically pull out of the event?
