Points of Unity
- Unity through diversity
Rock Paper Scissors Collective
Romy used to volunteer at the Rock Paper Scissors Collective down the street.
MaximillianKlein is now volunteering! so we have a direct connection
They are really nice but they have a lot of stuff on their plate. Don't be offended if they say they can't do something, or if they don't get back to you very quickly. They founded the Oakland Art Murmur and it is a non profit without much money, staffed by volunteers, with many demands made on them so things move slowly.
NIMBY
NIMBY is a do-it-yourself (DIY), Hacker space, Maker space, Morale shop, Adult play ground or industrial art space that provides artists, craftspeople and the average Joe a place to create and innovate. Within the 65,500 square foot space can be found metal workers, jewelers, Sculptors, painters, set and prop builders, musicians, hobbyists, engineers, plumbers, electricians, computer programmers, machinists and more, Your imagination is your only limit!
- romyilano visited them a few years ago. That space is intense! They're in East Oakland, and they build many of the epic Burning Man sculptures there. Does anyone know them or know if they're interested in collaborating?
Otherworld
West Oakland warehouse. It's gigantic. Some DJs enter and never escape. Epic Halloween parties.
Collectives & Hackerspaces in Foreign Countries
Cambodian Hackerspace
John Weeks, an American who went to Santa Cruz, helps run a Cambodian hackerspace and comic book workshop for Cambodian young professionals, street children and communities in Cambodia. It would be highly excellent to establish an online connection with this idealistic non-profit that does cool things.
They have 24 hour comic book days,computer workshops and graphic designs.
