Hello SudoRoomers!

I'm Anca, and I run Tech Liminal, where SudoRoom has been gestating for the last few months.  I'm pretty excited to see a hacker space open in my neighborhood (I live about 1/2 mile away from TL and the new SudoRoom space).  

I like to make stuff and experiment with technology solutions that can make us better humans.   I help to organize the make:SF meetup, as well as Workshop Weekend and other geeky things going on in Oakland, like Code for Oakland.  I love pinball and cooking and generally finding out how stuff works.

I'm mainly a software developer by trade, though I'm good at talking to non-techies which means that I can make a living talking or coding. :)  

I'd like to invite the SudoRoom community to continue coming by Tech Liminal's Open Hack night on Wednesday for the making and sharing of creative things.

See you soon,

Anca.

I have a sculpture mfa specializing in metals and casting, but got interested in electronics and kinetics about six years ago.  I learned all the engineering I know from the Crucible kinetics department and the internet.   I have been a member of Noisebridge previously, and also Ace Monster Toys.

I approve 100% of the space that has been rented after seeing it last week, I think the location is phenomenal, the space that can be used is substantial, the rent will be minimal when divided up into 20+ members, and I think if we can have a few events/classes there a lot more people will get interested in participating.
