Ooza Basic Overview
Ooza is a 2D/2.5D/3D CNC machine that can function as a pen plotter (2D), cutter (2D), engraver (2.5D), or material extruder (3D).
As opposed to typical filament based extruders, it uses air pressure to push a paste through a nozzle, allowing for use of a variety of viscous materials, including bio-based mixtures.

Ridgewood Commons Admin Open Office Hours
Admin office hours meetings are held Sundays before dinner, 6-7pm, in the couch area unless stated otherwise.
Each Sunday is hosted by a different admin committee, with an all-hands meeting at the end of 8 week cycle.
These meetings serve to:
Coordinate ongoing work within the group.
Allow cross-committee work (meetings are open, pop-ins are encouraged).
Be a space for people interested in admin work to come and meet existing members, get a feel for the work and group dynamics before they commit to taking on RC labor.
