Hi folks,<br><br>I've created a wiki page with detailed info about the spaces available at 2141 Broadway. Details here: <a href="http://sudoroomorg/wiki/2141_Broadway" target="_blank">http://sudoroom.org/wiki/2141_Broadway</a><br>
<br>
Major caveat/potential opportunity: A solar company has evidently earned
George's favor for the rental of the front area (not really shown in
the photos, but it's the front room with the big windows overlooking
Broadway) and the far side office room (also not shown). They are open
to sharing the large common area, but clearly we should establish a
rapport and make sure they're chill before moving ahead on the space.
Bonus: this would bring energy costs for the building down to null, as
they'd be installing solar panels on the roof.<br>
<br>I'm also composing an email invite to friends and neighbors we'd
like to share a space with. The subject is 'Toward a Federation of East
Bay Hackerspaces," because regardless of whether any of these groups
decide to share this particular space with us, I think having regular
conversations around how we can support each other's endeavors and work
together to provide a holistic hacker-friendly environment for the
entirety of the East Bay is essential. <br>
<br>Currently on the invite list:<br>-LOLspace<br>-Coyote Counter Collective<br>-John (Berkeley fella who makes wheelchairs and specializes in mobility equipment hacking/repair)<br>-Biohacker friends<br>-Hackermoms<br>-Ace Monster Toys<br>
-The Holdout<br>-Noisebridge (callout to NBers living in the East Bay)<br>-AnarchaFeminist Hacker Hive<br><br>**Need contact info for: Fixit Clinic**<br><br>The
federation meetup will happen this Saturday, Oct 27th at noon. The
front door to 2141 will be propped open, and we will gather in the space
itself - up the stairs and through the door on the left. <br>
<br>Plz post thoughts, opinions, ideas to this thread, or join us in #sudoroom on Freenode IRC (web portal here: <a href="http://sudoroom.org/chat" target="_blank">http://sudoroom.org/chat</a>).<br><br>Be well,<br clear="all">
