Hi Autonomous,
I know that sudo kids hasn't been too active of late because of landlord
drama. However I taught a 3D printing class with Kids a while back, and
that was quite enjoyable. Which is to say our kids programmes are not in
full swing right now, but they might come back soon (because of our moving
locations) , or in be in a different way. I'd be happy to spend an hour or
two consulting with you on how to pitch such a pitch if that still sounds
reasonable.
Thanks for thinking of us!

The "Darkplaces" gaming engine I ported to
the Raspberry PI that was
released last month has been quite a success with thousands of downloads
and positive reviews. I am about ready to release the next version of the
engine along with a batch of open source games that will run in the engine.
I was thinking that it might be a good opportunity at this point to ask
for a donation. I would like to ask people to make a donation to Sudoroom
(instead of me) to support ongoing community outreach efforts and in
particular, to make a donation in support of the activities relating to
"Sudo Kids." Also, the Raspberry PI Foundation announced last week that
well over $1,000,000 in grant money is available to non-profits that
support educational activities relating to teaching kids how to write
software and work with technology.
If this sounds like a feasible idea for raising funds then I would need a
little help in preparing a pitch to submit with the donation request that
describes what Sudo Kids is about and how Sudoroom works with the
community. There is also a grant proposal that could be submitted to the
Raspberry PI foundation.
Here's the thread on the Raspberry PI forum:

Peace,
