Well, if we invite groups that are here with a member or are invited to an open event, is that okay? That's what I meant. To come to an open-invite event (like the cryptoparty already is) or to come with an explicit invitation.

I think the answer is to invite people to open-events, perhaps. That's what I was thinking.

We just talked about this at the meeting. Just to start doing more outreach to bring new people into ongoing projects at the space.

i think that between the move and not being open to the public, we lost a lot of regulars from the old sudo (at least, i don't see a lot of folks that used to come by the old space). i think it's possible that there are many people who aren't aware that they can come to omni. i'm not sure how we can let people know that they can come by while also dealing with the "not open" issue.

Awesome. I'm in touch with a lot of these folks. Let's be in touch off-list.

I've had an ambition to do an activist focused infosec/ cyptoparty session.

Some Oakland based groups I had in mind were
- AROC -http://araborganizing.org/
- And the lighthouse mosque folks-http://www.lighthousemosque.org/
- The Oakland Privacy Working Group also needs some hardening.

Do any of the other groups in the omni seem like they need help/ hardening?

They've all been part of efforts Restore the Fourth has been involved against the DAC and Urban Shield.

Hi friends,

So here at the meeting we're brainstorming about ways to bring more
people in to the space, both to be more inviting and receptive to the
needs of our community and to help bring more support to Sudoroom.

Towards that end, how about everyone who runs a group at the space make
an extra effort to reach out to others who might be interested in
joining your group or learning what you know? Try it this week!

It could mean doing a basic websearch and finding out if there are other
community groups that are interested in these issues or would benefit
from learning what you all know.

For example, with the cryptoparty, I'm excited to contact to some of the
activist groups that are organizing visible protests in Oakland and
would benefit from skills shared at a cryptoparty.. If you work on
robots, maybe reach out to some of the many robotics groups in the Bay
Area. Just send an email to let them know when and where; maybe they'll
show up :)

Let me know if you're interested in doing outreach, but don't know where
to start or who to invite. I'd be delighted to help.

Ever upward,
April
