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

Hopefully see you at either (or both!) , -Peter
