Sounds great to me. I have dreamt of some day teaching community robotics classes, and organizing groups to design machines that meet various community needs. Hot meal prep is a big one I think could help a lot. That is something I'd like to do in a few years, and I have imagined I could do it at sudo. I use a term for my work, "community-oriented engineering" which in contrast to traditional engineering, aims to center community in the aims of its projects, and to include those communities in the development process through community education and direct participation. If you had some angel-funded food making robot and you dropped it in a community, they would be dependent on your funds for repair, operations, etc. If you teach a community to build their own food making robot, you give them the resilience to manage it on their own.
So I think it's a great idea, tho I don't think I would be able to do any teaching myself for a while due to my schedule.

Hi Sudoers:

Riffing off last night’s Sudoroom visioning meeting: what if part of Sudoroom’s mission was to expand the number of software developers in the area using AI this enabling a vision for "local software"?
Train people who are technically savvy and interested in solving problems for themselves and people around them, but don't want to become fully-fledged programmers.
