Happy Monday everyone!
I want to provide an update that we will be pushing back tomorrows building
gathering to the following Tuesday, April 1st from 5:30-7 pm (see the
attached flyer) Please encourage as many past and present Omni members to
attend!
In light of this change, I will also be extending office hours [SIGN UP HERE
<https://calendly.com/valerie-thecalli/30min>] for this week so that we can
get as much input on the Building Rules as possible. If those times lots
don't work …
[View More]for you but you are interested in meeting or going over the
document via phone I am amenable to that. Please tell all of your
participants and group members to submit a response through the FEEDBACK
FORM <https://forms.gle/hEJhREnduWD4im8L8>. You do not have to submit your
name and email address if you don't feel comfortable and would prefer to be
anonymous. I welcome feedback in all forms and want to help meet people
where they are. If there are opportunities to outreach about the feedback
form and upcoming gathering at your groups upcoming events please let me
know.
Note that after this review process once any updated edits are made, the
Building Rules will be going into effect. While there will be annual
reviews and edits may arise when major changes come up, this is still the
ideal timeframe to voice your perspective and engage with the content
before it starts getting implemented.
I look forward to hearing and seeing more input come through.
Take care,

Hi I created a test SudoRoom server. It's not to replace turtles but to
enhance it!

Are we having any monthly sudoRoom meetings? I'd like to propose one before
our super late Tuesday events-- it can be short and sweet!
we could have a "tea" or a potluck and it could be cut short to about an
hour. For me I'd prefer anything that isn't sitting and something as in
person and not remotely run as possible!

I posted the April 22nd creative reuse event on the. blog. We should theme
our April 22nd hardware hack night around the creative reuse event! Maybe
even hand out flyers to those who are attending at Creative reuse and
invite them !

I have been reading articles that women in general use AI tools much less
than men.
I don't think that people =have= to use it, but at AI meetups, unless
people are already research scientists, I'm just seeing a lot fewer women
and non-binary folks.
I guess this would be a good theme for a casual, non stressful "let's catch
up with AI" (again it is not something to push people ot use these tool but
to be aware)
I will try to schedule some during the women and non-binary night or right
before …

Hey Sudo Room!
I'm in search of some suggestions, I'd like to build something that
would give me a visual cue for when to water my plants (I have other
similar needs as well, all related to how bad my memory is😂). You
could say I could set an alarm on my phone, but I'd like to set a tiny
display near my plants, that would go red when it's time to water my
plants and green when I reset it after watering my plants. Probably
need to code it to go red after 3 days or so.
Need something small, I …
[View More]thought maybe this MicroBit can be a good option
https://microbit.org/
Do we have one of these available at SudoRoom by chance?
Anyways, open to other ideas as well before I commit to that!
