Giving laptops to disadvantaged folks who need them is entirely the
premise of the project, which we're tied to via internal ethics as well
as our nonprofit fundraising for upgrading, repairing + distributing
donated laptops.
They are furthermore in no state to be auctioned for fundraising at a
hipster Temescal brewery - these are bare-minimum-specs machines.
Forgive me if I'm missing context here. I initiated this project in
2016, and can share the extensive documentation spreadsheet with
whomever is currently working on this.

I think that giving away laptops to people who
actually need them and
will use them should take priority, and that's not the same thing as
handing them out to people as a promotion of our space at a bar.
Also I want to remind everyone that Sudoroom got a $4000 grant for
diverting waste, and in order to get the whole thing we need to submit
reports indicating actions we've taken to redistribute things that
would otherwise become waste.
That translates to: if we give away computers we should record each
one (model number at least) and something about who we gave it to, for
our report to the granting organization (Altamont Stop Waste program)

Yea I dont think it is, but maybe it will be different from normal
crowd given this is a fundraiser event. If doing a laptop
giveaway, we could also make and post flyers outside the temescal
area to see if we could get better rep.
But yea Im also generally interested in seeing what the event
description looks like. Can someone send that through?

Hi Andy,
I think if we want to shift the balance of membership at
sudoroom we need to be very intentional about where we do
outreach. Can you explain the choice of Temescal Brewery as
the best place to reach out to demographics underrepresented
at sudoroom and hackerspaces in general? Would you describe it
as a predominantly queer, female, low-income, youth, or POC space?

We will be discussing plans to do a member outreach event at
Temescal Brewery on the 21st of September! We'll also discuss
our complicated, onerous new member process.
If you'd like to add something to the agenda, reply below!
