Why do you want to be a member of sudo room?: Since quitting a data scientist job two years ago I have been travelling and doing other non-tech stuff, so my programming skills have become a bit rusty. I am looking for a space and community in which I can unrust those skills, and get back into things.

If you know already, what are you excited to do at sudo room?: To unrust my programming skills and learn new ones I plan to pursue a few small toy projects, like doing some data visualization of US census data. Also interested in learning how to build a project around Ethereum smart contracts. But my real passion is around using VR to induce altered states of consciousness for therapeutic, recreational, and spiritual ends.

If you know already, what are you excited to share with the sudo room community?: Not sure yet, some of what I have learned/experienced studying yoga, meditation, somatics, and non ordinary states of consciousness might be of interest.

Have you ever been banned from another hackerspace? If so, when and why?: Nope

abolish sexual violence etc? don't be a dick. stop dickish behavior when seen.

end extinction etc? devise open source solutions for post-capitalistic society

freedom etc? decentralization, cryptography, open source again

contact? email

schedule? open. probably drop in during the day, and for events.

problem for you? nope.
