Thank you for the email and the info, Jake !
I wrote down the info email and Discuss list email for them.
I hope they sent an email to either one (any moderator on list see email
from Christie or Kirstie ?), so that way I or someone from Sudo Room with
more tech skills than I could help them outside of Omni.

Hi Dane,
People should not go to Sudoroom for non-essential purposes or spend any
amount
of time there, in my opinion. Until things change, the best thing we can
do to
preserve our hackerspace is to avoid going there and avoid causing
gatherings
there.
Fortunately, this email list and the IRC chat and our community in general
are
still here and very valuable, and we are all here for each other.
If they want to be a part of Sudoroom, they should join this email list and
also maybe get on IRC (which unfortunately is not super active these days)
and
they should also sign up for monthly donations! Our expenses are ongoing
and
unfortunately income has dropped. They don't need to be a "member" to be
a
supporter!
https://sudoroom.org/donate
If they want your help with their laptop and/or SD card, you should think
about
meeting with them in a place of your choosing and according to COVID safety
considerations. If you have access to a backyard with patio furniture, or
maybe they have those things, that seems relatively safe to me, if you're
both
wearing masks. Then you can work on things together! If you want to
increase
distance a little more, you can use an external monitor on the computer and
"mirror" the display so that each person has their own screen, rather than
one
person looking (and breathing) over the other person's shoulder.
As for technical support with whatever you're doing, you can email here,
and
maybe coordinate on timing with whomever wants to collaborate with you on
this
project. Either way it's always great to work with another hacker and
involve
your community.
But ultimately, my advice is for people to connect here on the email list,
and
on the above-linked donation page, and connect with us on other platforms
safely for now.
Let me know if i can help!

Hey Sudo,
There is a person who was wanting to see if someone could help with their
laptop which got hacked and a SD card if I understood them correctly.
I gave them Sudo info email and discuss list email.
Christie or Kirstie ? Not a member but planned to apply when COVID hit.
No
one was in Sudo Room. Ghost Town Hackerspace.
Also, what are next steps as I want to join Sudo but not sure what is
even
going on at this time with Sudo?
Probably need to have info for folks who visit who are not members but
want
tech help. I am only in Omni to clean up the
space, kick ass, and chew
bubble gum (and I'm all out of bubble gum.)
