[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Omni Newsletter - call for updates, thoughts, art, words

[Taylor Alexander]

Thanks Jenny and Roberto.

> Reflections about the covid-19 pandemic.
This really reminds me why solidarity is important. It feels more urgent
that we expand our ways to work together and help one another. And I miss
sudo hack nights.

> Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes,
anything.
This story is a direct transcription of a vivid dream I had, written
immediately after waking up one day about a year ago. I don't know how long
the newsletter is, but y'all are welcome to link/excerpt/reproduce this if
it fits.

If the newsletter is more photo friendly, see attached an image recently
extracted from my Rover robot, as well as a photo of the robot itself.
Rover (pronoun: it) is totally open source and I use it for computer vision
research while pondering how an open source economy might better serve us.
More details on Rover here:

We will make it out of this, but I feel for everyone hurt by this disaster.
Love - Taylor
