[sudo-discuss] Gift ideas for LOLspace?

[Jenny Ryan]

Hey sudoers!

LOLspace, otherwise known as Liberating Ourselves Locally
<https://oaklandmakerspace.wordpress.com/>, a POC-led makerspace in East
Oakland that started around the same time as sudo and is now a project of
the hella rad Peacock Rebellion <http://www.peacockrebellion.org>, recently
purchased their building in Fruitvale
<https://www.youcaring.com/thetenantsandthecommunity-773671> in tandem with
EastSide Arts Alliance, Sustaining Ourselves Locally (SOL, a QTPOC-led food
justice collective & garden), Cycles of Change bike shop worker coop,
and Shaolin
Life, a community temple and martial arts studio - as well as several
residential spaces on the second floor. This is a huge win and I'm so
stoked!!

They're having a celebration on the afternoon of January 28th, and I
thought it'd be rad if we could bring a gift on behalf of sudoroom :)

Some ideas I was considering:
* a sign or card drawn by the robot arm - and if card, signed by sudoers ^_^
* donating one of our sewing machines (they seem to be much more crafty
than sudo)
* donating a bunch of those phablets we got? or were they eee pcs?
* some sweet outdoor lighting rig to make the sidewalk space more inviting
and safe?

Also:
* a rooftop mesh node install! they're about a block from the houseless
encampment that the City gave to The Village to build their first village
of 2018 on. [this will happen, if they're down, regardless of a sudoroom
gift]

Anyone interested in collaborating on this?
Other ideas, inspiration, do-ocratic gift-making welcome and encouraged :)
