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
