Thanks Jake, FWIW, here's a newsletter that we created in 2013 for this kind of thing. #ShareTheLove judi ---- On Wed, 12 Jul 2023 01:27:49 -0700 Jake via sudo-discuss <mailto:sudo-discuss@sudoroom.org> wrote --- -------- 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)  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URzM_MKuVCH04BezEwmHSRBGYdTZAs44JR4HdlX… 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. https://forms.gle/FEAhhTm5FhPuqKpk8 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. party links Thursday- https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/294734110/?utm_medium=referral&am… Friday- https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/294734062/?utm_medium=referral&am… Saturday- https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-official-unauthorized-open-sauce-after-par… Sunday- https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/294734098/?utm_medium=referral&am… The quickest way to contact me is through discord, my username is "pyconaut", feel free to DM me, or reach out on noisebridge Slack (pyconaut) or noisbridge discord (pyconaut), or type stuff in the google doc. for those who do not know what makerspaces are cc'ed on this email 1.)  Noisebridge Hackerspace- ryanrokey1(a)yahoo.com2.)  Hacker Dojo - ed(a)hackerdojo.com3.)  Humanmade - sarayah(a)humanmade.org4.)  Queerious Labs - info(a)queeriouslabs.com5.)  Sudo Room - info(a)sudoroom.org6.)  ACE Makerspace - rachel(a)acemakerspace.org7.)  Double Union - board(a)doubleunion.org8.)  The Crucible - mailto:info@thecrucible.org 9.)  Maker Nexus - mailto:jenny.higgins@makernexus.org , mailto:eric.hess@makernexus.org 10.)  Chimera Arts - mailto:joe@chimeraarts.org 11.)  Foothill Makerspace - kaspereira(a)krauseinnovationcenter.org12.)  Circuit Launch - hi(a)circuitlaunch.com13.)  Mothership Hackermoms - info(a)hackermoms.org14.)  Pev Works - mailto:hello@pev.works 15.)  Girls Garage - info(a)girlsgarage.org16.)  Benicia Makerspace - mailto:info@beniciamakerspace.org 17.)  Shared - mailto:membership@shared-sf.com 18.)  The Box shop - mailto:info@boxshopsf.org 19.)  Bay Area Maker Farm Alameda - mailto:bayareamakerfarm@gmail.com 20.)  Biocurious - mailto:info@biocurious.org 21.)  Counter Culture labs - info(a)counterculturelabs.org22.)  Idea Fab Labs Santa Cruz - santacruz(a)ideafablabs.com23.)  Pawprint Prototyping - info(a)pawprintprototyping.org24.)  Robot Garden - info(a)robotgarden.org25.)  PLACE - hi(a)place.community26.)  Haward Techies - mailto:haywardtechies@gmail.com and a few other people 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,  https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Bay_Area_Consortium_of_Hackerspaces BACH - Noisebridge Hope to hear from you all soon, | | | | | | | | | | | BACH - Noisebridge | | | Sincerely,Ryan SternlichtNoisebridge Hackerspace_______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list -- mailto:sudo-discuss@sudoroom.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailto:sudo-discuss-leave@sudoroom.org More options at https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
