[sudo-discuss] Re: Greet people for Hardware and SoftWEAR Hack Night /Fixit Clinic?

Hi Peter, Regarding the folks waiting outside with repairs; that's a big problem if the hope is to create Fix it Clinic and Sudo room as an accessible space of reliability for the community! Thank you for bringing it up. It also would likely lead to Sudo losing the next cycle of Alameda County StopWaste Grants- this could definitely have long term impacts on Sudo being able to stay in the space at Omni. I'd like to propose we all take turns at someone in the space being the 'welcome committee'- it being their job for one Tuesday night to put out the sandwich board with "Fix It Clinic" on it and greet people and welcome them and help them find someone to assist them with their project or at least show them around the space and assist them in finding tools. I've been doing that in an informalized capacity but maybe this needs to be formalized? I won't be available to do it tonight as I'm volunteering with Bike East Bay, but I can do it next Tuesday. That said, for it to be sustainable this would need to be a thing we all take turns at, and it would also create a way of acknowledging the often unrecognized soft skills and social labor that goes in to community building. Jake, how would you feel putting it to a vote regarding having a volunteer sign up list with everyone who's visiting the space at the $10 amount taking a turn in rotation? And I did want to follow up with you regarding the proposed space plan- does the space map exist or are we tabling that? -July On Tue, Jun 25, 2024 at 12:30 PM Peter Mui via sudo-discuss < sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; wrote:
