We have some events from other nearby nonprofits and cool organizations like the spire or critical mass on our website
The stuff is mostly hidden now unless you go to our calendar, but I was just thinking that it would be really cool to go to an outside event like the Spijer clothing swap and then come back to Sudoroom and work on what you exchanged at the clothing swap like repairing zippers and so during our hardware night or a women and non-binary night
This calendar isn’t meant to take people outside to Sudoroom and make them never come back but to inspire us because our location is the best thing about us
Also thinking long-term, that it would be cool to hang out of these other places and tell them about Sudoroom because a lot of people don’t know about us especially people are new to the area
We don’t market ourselves enough as one of the cheapest hardware open hack nights in the Bay Area.
We should also try to compete with the idea of just being totally socially, isolated and alone doing on your stuff in your garage or in your house we can see that remote meet ups. Don’t have quite the same spice as meeting in person and randomly walking into someone working on their hardware project
Hope this gets us more involved in our outside community. There’s so much good stuff going on in Oakland and the best thing about Sudoroom is that you can physically meet people in person and that you were actually in Oakland, which is one of the best cities in the United States right now.
