I propose that Sudoroom and Sudomesh take over the three (of four) basement
rooms being vacated by Village of Love, paying a combined $1500 for them.
In the past decade, Sudoroom has failed to scale its community to the size
required to pay for its current space. It's been perpetually in debt ever
since, never had any budget left over to invest in hacking, and had to ask
forgiveness from Omni many times, putting the building in greater jeopardy.
Besides its size, one of the nicest features of the current spot is natural
sunlight - but virtually all Sudo gatherings happen after dark. We are
paying for something we don't use.
Omni is coming under increasing community pressure over the fact that
majority-white collectives underpay for the biggest nicest spaces in the
building, while pushing more diverse collectives into less desirable
corners. This will be one way to make right.
Downsizing is good for us, good for omni, and good for the newer BIPOC-led
collectives that omni is trying to recruit.
If sudoers agree, maybe a good timeline would be to announce intention to
complete the move by February 1.
How can I set up internet at parents. What do I need purchase? Do sell or
provide nodes? Sorry tech illiterate here.

I know that for people who built sudomesh and have been working on the
project this whole time, but who don't have time or availability to host
meetings or onboard new people, this may read as unwanted pressure, but I
agree with the principle of the idea.
There are a lot of people who want to see sudomesh and its projects prosper,
and effectively rejecting new energy and leaving it to people outside the
project to handle requests for more information is not a good way to do
things.
Can we just discuss what the options are together and try to move forward
somehow?

Hi Andrew, your email went to the general info list because
sudo-mesh(a)sudoroom.org was not a predefined email address. I've now
added it as an alias, so it should work in the future.

I once again think that one of the legacy members should agree to either hold an open event or agree to let others meet and talk about Sudo Mesh in their absence. But I will refrain from any further mischief out of respect for the wishes of the legacy members of this project.

Hey,
I want to plan a Sudo Mesh event. I'd like to get folks together, review
all the existing materials and spitball ideas for what we'd like to do with
Sudo Mesh.
I want to be upfront: I know Sudo Mesh was developed by a lot of smart
people through a lot of hard work, and I don't want to deny them their due
or agency over this project. So if someone -- anyone -- who has worked on
this before I showed up wants to guide the next steps, I would love that.
To start with, I'm wondering how many people are seeing this message? If
you see this and are interested in getting involved or getting reinvolved,
please speak up.

Andrew,
I apologize if you haven't gotten the response that you desire, there are
so many communication channels available to us, that it's likely many don't
want to respond to your request via the email list. Regardless, despite
your claims SudoMesh is not an inactive project. As a distributed project,
Marc probably just doesn't feel like he should be making unanimous
decisions for the rest of the community.
I doubt you hurt Marc's feelings, but more failed to understand his
response: meeting are normally Tuesday nights at Omni Commons (where
Sudoroom is located). If you come to Sudoroom's Hardware Hack night, most
of the Sudomesh folks will be there talking about Disaster Radio, a node
mount for the Sudomesh network, or our contributions to DWeb camp's Mesh
network that is coming up soon.
If you're looking for a Newbie night, this is still probably your best
bet. As most folks don't have the bandwidth to commit to another night.
If Tuesday night doesn't work for you, and you know of a lot of other folks
that are new to ad-hoc mesh networks that would be interested feel free to
suggest something, I'm sure that it can be worked out, but again, attention
is a limited resource in most folk's lives.
Cheers,
Scott
