[sudoroom] Update on space @ 2141 Broadway

[Jenny Ryan]

Hi folks,

I've created a wiki page with detailed info about the spaces available at
2141 Broadway. Details here: http://sudoroom.org/wiki/2141_Broadway

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.

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.

Currently on the invite list:
-LOLspace
-Coyote Counter Collective
-John (Berkeley fella who makes wheelchairs and specializes in mobility
equipment hacking/repair)
-Biohacker friends
-Hackermoms
-Ace Monster Toys
-The Holdout
-Noisebridge (callout to NBers living in the East Bay)
-AnarchaFeminist Hacker Hive

**Need contact info for: Fixit Clinic**

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.

Plz post thoughts, opinions, ideas to this thread, or join us in #sudoroom
on Freenode IRC (web portal here: http://sudoroom.org/chat).

Be well,
Jenny
