For those interested, I love tricking my bike out with more and more lights, then fixing those lights and sometimes my laptop (still working on that one). Oh and seeing if I can revitalize dumpster diven stuffs, usually bike related as well :)

I’m down!

I try to do that (ask ppl to share what they’re working on) on WNB coding night Slack group but it’s hard as well😰

Hey Romy,

I'm just catching up on old emails. Sorry I didn't see and respond to this sooner.

I'm surprised that no one seems to have responded to this. It seems weird that we clearly have people showing up and hanging out, but for some reason when someone sends out an email and says, "Hey! What's everyone working on?", there's just silence.

One thing I'm wondering is what the viewership of these emails is. Is there a way to check that? 

Secondly, though, I think this is a part of Sudo Room's culture that needs a bit of active adjustment. I think a lot of people are hanging around and working on their stuff quietly, but for probably a variety of reasons aren't used to sharing their stuff the way that you and I are. For instance, I think we both appreciate that art isn't meant to be finished and then shared, it's just meant to be shared casually and often.

On idea that appeals to me: what if we tried to coax people who host events into getting folks to who stop by to take a picture of whatever they're working on and share a few words, and then use those as the main skeleton of a monthly newsletter? You mentioned a newsletter at a meeting a few weeks ago, and I said I liked it, but wasn't sure where to start with it. This seems like a good answer to that, right? 

If Juliana and Jake and me and a few others got in the habit of saying to people we see working, "Hey, what are you working on?" and then following up with "Cool. Can I take a picture and include this in the next newsletter?" I think it might help. If people see a picture of Rajah in front of a screen of code and it says, "Rajah is coding this cool thing..." then it might start to break down the myth that only finished, highly visual projects are worth sharing.

And post their projects in the Noisebridge or SudoRoom wiki. Is anyone making stuff at the space (I’m not so interested in people who try to get folks at SudoRoom to teach or volunteer  etc whcih are great but instead the creators) I’d love to hear about what you’re working on
