[sudo-discuss] Ravers Ambitions, New Sudoroom Collaborative Project

Hello Sudoroom Community, About two months ago Ravers Ambitions was created for the sole purposes of 1. Community Building 2. Education Through Collaboration (ETC). Rave stands for Radical Audio Visual Experience; which involves many artistic, technical, disciplinary, and organizational elements. Learning these skills alone could potentially be very difficult as an individual and extremely time consuming. However that time is shortened when people come together to share skills in a community/collaborative environment. And the diversity of skills acquired are much richer when engaged with members from different backgrounds, with different skill sets. We've had our first general meet up to make introductions, and plan around the purpose of this collaboration. We then had an informal (5 person) lesson, on the Introduction to DJing. During these workshops, regular contributors came as far from Marin, and San Jose, to provide expensive, professional grade equipment, for the five hour meetups alone. There also have been Sudoroom Members Omni Community regulars, whom participated. There quite a few elements that are emulated from Hackerspace Ethos, with as well. Nobody is in charge. Are transparent. Operate by consensus. Learning, workshops, tutoring or mentoring sessions, happen because people make them happen. Ravers Ambitions is the community that supports that. We still are new and planning workshops such as: 1) Technical Equipment (audio, lighting, video, etc) Setup, Maintenance, and Breaking down. 2) Dancing: An Introduction to Movement With Sound 3) Basics of DJing, 4) Visual Arts (LEDs, lazor display, video mapping, painting, etc), and more. In addition I wish this project to be discussed at the next Sudoroom meeting and be brought up for consensus as an official Sudoroom project.This is so that if there is questions, comments, or concerns, they can be expressed. Also to let the larger Sudoroom Community know of this project as well. Thank you Sudoroom for the support. - Rayc Robert Albert Young Chu P::415-724-0425 E:: robert.chu01(a)gmail.com
