</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed, thanks for picking up on that and giving an opening to describing all the ways in which people regularly show their commitment to Sudo Room: There's also building infrastructure in the space, creating/making awesome things, giving tours, managing the landlord situation, managing the trash (thanks david k!), leading classes/workshops/meetups, CLEANING and BEAUTIFYING the space [the move to colorful late-night mood lighting the other week was especially clutch].<br>

This is part and parcel of being a vessel of social change. Noisebridge has an ad hoc and ever-changing do-ocracy of leaders, as does Sudo. The inscription of a Board merely makes static what is in actuality a dynamic aspect of the community, hence its role (in the vein of honesty and radical transparency) is as merely an on-paper minimum satisfactory requirement for bureaucratic processes. Come to any meeting of Noisebridge or Sudo and it will be readily apparent who's currently taking on leadership roles.</span></blockquote>
