[sudo-discuss] UPCOMING EVENTS: Fri night at Sudo Room, Sat at South Branch, Berkeley Public Library

Hi Sudoers: We’ve got two events coming up later this week: - Fri Jun 27 7PM-9PM: Sudo Room is hosting Denise Wong, Senior Statewide Membership Organizer, and at least seven others (Denny, Hoang, Jeffrey, Jennifer, Jorja, Kevin, and Matt) from Asian Pacific Environmental Network (https://www.apenaction.org/) for a meet-and-greet, tour of Omni Commons, and an informal clean-up and cull of our laptop cabinet: please help us give them a warm welcome. (Is anyone willing to tidy up Sudo Room between now and Friday evening, pretty please?) - Sat Jun 28 1PM-3PM: Thinkpads4All.org (a great bunch of high schoolers and college students) is holding a computer repair workshop at the Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch, Berkeley Public Library: https://berkeleypubliclibrary.libnet.info/event/13755420 Thinkpads4All brings laptops and disassembly tools to guide participants through taking a laptop apart – to change the battery, to upgrade memory, to replace the hard drive, etc. I’ve been attending their workshops to field general questions about tech repair. You’re welcome to attend just to participate in the Thinkpads4All workshop (and tell your friends too); you’re also welcome to join me in hanging out and fielding questions, or to bring your own laptop or other tech to work on. (Long term: we’re talking with the Thinkpads4All team about incorporating more of a Sudo Room-like component to their future workshops, e.g. inviting people to bring their own broken laptops, helping with software migration (e.g. Windows 10 end of support is this October), and converting laptops and Chromebooks to Linux.) Let me know you’re coming by registering at https://bit.ly/inpersoncoachsignup Hopefully see you at either (or both!) , -Peter
