[sudo-discuss] Re: Intent to join

Hey everyone, How was last night's meeting? I wanted to declare my intent to join and discuss ways I can get started volunteering on any ongoing projects, but I didn't get on until after it ended. So I'll drop my info here so everyone can look it over before next week's meeting. First, here's my new sudohumans profile: https://humans.sudoroom.org/~andrewrgross *Declaration of Intent to Join* *Who I am* My name is Andrew R Gross ("R" is my full middle name) and I'm a politically conscious hacker and maker who just moved to Oakland from Los Angeles. *Why I want to join* I'm looking for many things that I've gotten from previous experiences with makerspaces: companionship; a rich well of technical expertise from which to learn and contribute; an organizing structure in which to effectively execute complex projects; and access to tools. *What I'm excited to do* I'm excited to use the laser cutter and the 6-axis arm, as well as to be a part of something I have the power to improve through my volunteership. *What I'm excited to share* What I'd like to share is my time and my energy, as well as my unique perspective (unique in the sense that we're all unique: my perspective isn't uniquely valuable relative to anyone else's). I like to clean and to organize group projects. I like to pay forward to others the good vibes and support I've been fortunate to receive. *References* Anyone interested in getting to know me should contact CRASHSpace hackerspace in LA <https://blog.crashspace.org/>, where I've been an active member in good standing for a while. You can send an email to the general mailbox <https://blog.crashspace.org/contact/> or just drop into the email discussion list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crashspace> to ask for general impressions about me.
