This is a fantastic idea. I'm not sure to what extent the Sunday writing group has been working on items like this - could someone who's been attending the Sunday groups provide chime in?

Also, I think this Saturday's TIL on infographics will be a great opportunity https://sudoroom.org/sat-june-8th-today-i-learned-infographics-convince-with-pictures/ to communicate some of what we're about visually. If any of you are interested in hacking on that together, please come this Saturday.

Personally, I'm making outreach one of my top goals for sudo at the moment so would be happy to plan better ways to get the word out about our events and the fact that we're here and available for people to be a part of.

Hey all, Curly here.

I remember there being a brief discussion around outreach scripts and things some weeks back, but dunno where it went. I want to re-open the topic.

With logo work coming to a close (see presentation today, and vote!) I am ready to start working on an outreach piece again. Specifically, I want to compose something that speaks to the big vision for the group, and hopefully even think of how to storyboard that in print or film media. I don't think we can ever talk about our mission too much, since it's such an exquisite thing.

I got inspired by this short film about a Detroit hackerspace. It's not a crowdfunding thing, but it could be. Most importantly, it brushes the dust off our image of Detroit's greatness, and reconnects its precarious future to its mighty emergence as a city of makers.

I think we can do this as well for Oakland, especially with a good camera...
