Studio One as a place to engage Temescal. It's next to Temescal pool. City-owned art studio. Would be great to engage with them.
Oakland Local Column

Outline:
- Free website about Oakland that anyone can contribute/add to/edit
- changing the narrative of Oakland. a platform.
- a non-intimidating way to engage with technology and the internet. an introduction to technology and specifically a wiki technology and how different that is from the usual way people interact with technology.

intention is to engage the community in events that result in pages that preserve our history and community knowledge. community participation... for example: community events and the work we produced:
- Mention peralta hacienda
- mention a fleshed out article. maybe the murals?
