Hi everyone,

I got this response from Scott Garrison, although it didn't go to the rest of the mailing list because he receives digests:

"
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

He says that Sudo Mesh is going on at Hardware hacking Tuesdays. I haven't seen anyone working on Sudo Mesh when I've been at Hardware Hacking Tuesdays, but if anyone who is currently a contributor to Sudo Mesh is willing to answer questions on an upcoming Tuesday please identify yourself so we can talk.

Cheers,

Andrew R Gross, (he/him)

I hope this isn't seen as hostile, but I think it's healthy -- especially in open source development projects -- to just communicate openly and honestly.

There are people who are interested in learning about distributed mesh networks like Sudo Mesh, however Sudo Mesh is at this point an inactive project. I think the simplest way forward is to find a meeting time that works for as many people who are interested and then meet to share ideas and learn.

I understand that the last time I tried to do this I hurt your feelings Marc. I'd like to ask for your guidance on how best to do this again in a way that respects your contributions. May I schedule a meeting so new people can meet and discuss this project? We'd love to have you present or leading, but if you don't have the time or are otherwise unable it would be very appreciated if you would cooperate with others working on this project without obstruction.

Thanks,

Hey Marc,

Is April 11th confirmed? Can I add that to the calendar and promote it at our April meeting?

I’d still prefer if it were in that Wednesday if possible, but either is fine as long as I can get it on the calendar.

Thanks,

Would it be possible to schedule it for Wednesday, April 12th? I'd like to participate, but I can't attend on Tuesdays.

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.
