Hey sudoers! LOLspace, otherwise known as Liberating Ourselves Locally <https://oaklandmakerspace.wordpress.com/>, a POC-led makerspace in East Oakland that started around the same time as sudo and is now a project of the hella rad Peacock Rebellion <http://www.peacockrebellion.org>, recently purchased their building in Fruitvale <https://www.youcaring.com/thetenantsandthecommunity-773671> in tandem with EastSide Arts Alliance, Sustaining Ourselves Locally (SOL, a QTPOC-led food justice collective & garden), Cycles of Change bike shop worker coop, and Shaolin Life, a community temple and martial arts studio - as well as several residential spaces on the second floor. This is a huge win and I'm so stoked!! They're having a celebration on the afternoon of January 28th, and I thought it'd be rad if we could bring a gift on behalf of sudoroom :) Some ideas I was considering: * a sign or card drawn by the robot arm - and if card, signed by sudoers ^_^ * donating one of our sewing machines (they seem to be much more crafty than sudo) * donating a bunch of those phablets we got? or were they eee pcs? * some sweet outdoor lighting rig to make the sidewalk space more inviting and safe? Also: * a rooftop mesh node install! they're about a block from the houseless encampment that the City gave to The Village to build their first village of 2018 on. [this will happen, if they're down, regardless of a sudoroom gift] Anyone interested in collaborating on this? Other ideas, inspiration, do-ocratic gift-making welcome and encouraged :) <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
