Hello from noisebridge hackerspace, and question about opensauce.live (fwd) - sudo-discuss

12 Jul 2023

-------- forwarded message from Ryan Sternlicht ---------------

Hey hope you all have been doing well, I know some of you know who I am and some don't
or might not remember me, I am Ryan Sternlicht (pyconaut), I am a long time Member of
Noisebridge hackerspace, and proponent of bay area makerspace and hackerspaces.  I have
often been an event orginiser at noisebridge and have helped out at many maker faire
booths and local maker events, as well as I have advised a few makerspaces and
hackerspaces on tools to buy, how to orginise events, and how to create a good community.

I am guessing some of you know that this weekend in San Francisco will be a big maker /
maker youtuber event called opensauce.live.  Since the loss of Maker faire bay area, there
has been a severe lack of get togethers of the bay area maker community.

I know since the pandemic and even before then some of our spaces have been in need of
help, space wise, finacially, community wise, etc.  And events like this can be a good way
to help get the word out to the larger maker community.  

At the noisebridge booth we will be having a FIND A MAKERSPACE / HACKERSPACE table with
info from spaces around the bay (this means all of you).

PLEASE FILL OUT INFO IN THIS DOCUMENT (So that I can make a few booklets for people to
look through)

If possible I would also like to get things to hand out such as
Stickersbuisness cardsStamppinsPostcards
from as many of you as possible
Feel free to drop these off at noisebridge over the next few days (there will be a box
inside of the main space near the roll up door that says FOR OPENSAUCE).

Or if you know anyone going to opensause have them come drop them off at our booth to put
on our table.

I will also have space at the booth for some small projects, If you want to have one of
your projects on display please fill out this form.

I will be at noisebridge today from around 4pm to 1am, tomorrow from 6pm to 1am, thursday
from 6pm to 1am, and friday during random hours. If you want to drop a project off, please
do it while I am there or give it to someone you know at the space that can put it in a
locker for you.  So that projects do not get messed with, I will be putting them in
lockers, or bringing them home with so that they do not sit out at noisebridge.  Bring as
many projects as you want, (as long as the are not massive), any that do not get displayed
at Open Sauce will be safley stored and returned to you after the weekend (or can be
picked up to show at the parties).  

I will be hosting Parties at noisebridge on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.  Feel free to
drop by and hang out, show of a project that can't be brought to opensauce, and meet
people. 

I will have the stage set up if you want to announce about your space.  Also come to the
unofficial saturday party at SF brewing Co.

On a seperate note, a few of us around the bay have wanted to restart a thing called
B.A.C.H. for a long time (bay area consortium of hackerspaces/makerspace), so that as a
group we could more easily share each-others event's, info, and help eachother in
times of need.  Maybe this can be the start of that.  Please check out these links for
more info on BACH.  Also if you are not currently on the hackerspaces.org map, maybe think
about adding yourselves,
