Hi Marc!

I hope I didn't ruffle your feathers. The honest answer is that I've been trying to reach you or one of the other folks from Sudo mesh for a few months, and since it wasn't working I got this idea based on Cunningham's law:

"The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."

I figured that if I just started making plans it would probably get back to someone in Sudo Mesh and they'd reach out. And it worked!

I hope you'll all forgive a bit of mischief in exchange for getting folks together and warming things up a bit. With that, I am relieved to be free of any further planning duties. I am still genuinely interested in participating (in a very passive role!)

Cheers,

Andy

Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't see this thread until now. I had misconfigured my email filtering.

The weekly sudo mesh meeting has traditionally happened on Tuesday evenings at the same time as sudo room hardware hacknight. We never officially announced a resumption of meetings after the pandemic but either me or Camber have been present at sudo room most Tuesdays from around 7:30 pm and I will be there this coming Tuesday and happy to update people on what's going on with the various sudo mesh projects. Unfortunately myself and Jenny will both be unable to attend the next few Tuesdays after that but will be back for the April 11th meeting. I've reached out to Camber to see if he can make it on the dates in between.

We used to have a monthly "open to newbies" meeting that is more publicly announced and it might be about time to restart that, but it might be better to push it until April 11th also because it'd be nice to do some direct outreach to all the members of sudo mesh to see who might not be monitoring this list very carefully. 

Of course if people want to meet up and hack on mesh stuff in the meantime and use this list to schedule it, then that's fine. It's just very likely that none of the sudo mesh members will be there after this Tuesday and until April 11th.

For those just tuning in I should clarify that sudo mesh has long since transitioned from a sudo room project to being its own independent non-profit organization (501c3) and big shoutout to Jenny for taking care of all the paperwork, insurance and paying of bills for the past several years!

We are currently drafting a post-pandemic update/newsletter outlining our activities since 2020 and some next steps / upcoming projects we'd love to get new folks involved with!

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.
