Heads up: if you want Grand ave. to go on a road diet, the city needs to hear from you on Tues.

by Andrew R Gross

Hey Sudoers, I just learned that Oakland's city planners are being pressured by AC Transit to curtail their bikable city plan on Grand Avenue! And there's a public hearing meeting on *Tuesday, July 25 at 6:30 - 7:30* here: https://meet.google.com/tzk-sbcu-uwk You can read more details here (SF Streetsblog) <https://sf.streetsblog.org/2023/07/18/oakdot-killing-grand-avenue-road-diet…>, but the short version is that the city said it wants to make Grand Avenue look more like Telegraph, which I love, and instead the bus company is like, "No, fuck that, add in another lane of high speed traffic through an urban neighborhood. We might want it in the future. Fuck parks and restaurants, we want concrete and steel suffocating the community. If you've got a minute during Hardware Hacking Tuesday, drop in and be heard. This is crazy, and I really hope we can speak loudly enough to keep AC Transit from fucking up a good plan. Lots of love, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

[sudo-info] Computer Donation (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 18:26:45 +0000 From: Gabriell Valentine <gvalentine(a)sfaf.org> To: "info(a)sudoroom.org" <info(a)sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-info] Computer Donation Good morning! I work for the San Franciso AIDS Foundation's IT department, I'm reaching out because my org is restructuring, and we will be clearing out our inventory soon. We have a large collection of micro form-factor desktops (2-5 year old ThinkCentre's and HP Pro Desks mostly) that will get e-wasted if no one has any interest in them, which I think is a waste. Would your collective have any interest in this hardware or know anyone else that would? The hardware is business class, and is good for small scale projects, project servers, automation, ect.

Re: old, old computer donation today

by Hilary Naylor

Wow! You have to be pretty old to have ever even heard of an Osborne 1! A revolution in portable computing -- a 30 lb suitcase! :) I knew Adam Osborne slightly, he was a member of the Berkeley Amnesty International chapter for a while. He became frustrated because Amnesty decision-making moves so slowly -- not nimble and adventurous like innovative entrepreneurial types like Adam. It should be an interesting evening, sorry I can't make it. cheers Hilary --- Original Message --- Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 01:18:39 -0700 From: Paige P <pgeplan(a)gmail.com> Subject: [sudo-discuss] old, old computer donation today To: SudoRoom <sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org> Hey everyone, Heads up that a donation of really old computers came today. We have good contact with owner and he is coming by tomorrow. I am leaving it out on the main table for the hw hacking crowd to check out, but I will be in tomorrow to move as required for hacking workspace needs. But should be fun to talk with the donor about all this gear tomorrow night. His name is Tom and he said he'd come by at 7 and is happy to take back whatever we dont want. So we should figure out what we want now. Or later and deal with it some time soon along with all are other ewaste (another discussion...). The big one todays crowd was excited about was the Osborne 1. But the other stuff seems sellable but depends on if we can get it turning on. Paige --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA
