We're starting this in an hour with some UX designers - it's going to be super short, but I think ti'd be fun to have an in-person ux workshops at some point at the omni and sudoroom. *Romy Mimi Ilano* *romy.ilano(a)gmail.com &lt;romy.ilano(a)gmail.com&gt;* ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Romy Ilano &lt;noreply(a)luma-mail.com&gt; Date: Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 3:22 PM Subject: [Host Copy] Looking forward to a short but sweet remote meetup To: &lt;romy.ilano(a)gmail.com&gt; Thanks, looking forward to a short but sweet remote call!

If this link doesn't work we will resort to zoom. https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles This will mostly be around brainstorming in-person UX meetups in our space in Oakland. Any online meetups will be purely for brainstorming and directing energy to in-person meetups. Non-Profit Mission Note that *SudoRoom is a non-profit*, so we limit promoting for-profit companies such as Artificial Intelligence startups, etc. And since our mission is to serve Oakland I am focusing a lot of the brainstorming topics to enrich our awesome, diverse city, which is the best example of American values and definitely has a small-town feel that is completely lost in most of US suburbia. While we're poor, we are sexy. I have spoken to other folks, and for-profit hackathons or corporate meet-ups simply do not have interesting UX collaborations as they are not a priority there. I've noticed that tech meetups unfortunately default to treating UX designers are photoshop jockeys who are there to make pretty screens and not much else. Since we're a social good non-profit it is possible to make really kickass UX however you want, which is actually good in the long run for UX Designers' portfolios! Speculative design is an option. We just ask that we keep the focus on non-profit tools and on social good as that's part of our mission. Slides Slides exist to be ignored and make us fall asleep but I made some here in case we have to go beg for funding.
