A random email poll about dues - please respond!

by Tommy York

Hello again, I have a couple questions for dues-paying members: 1) How have you paid dues in the past? (Cash, check, other? I don't even know what the options are yet at this moment.) 2) How would you like to pay dues? I'd love to see an easy, online option for donations up on our website (maybe this exists, but a quick glance at the website does not reveal anything, and assuming your average sudoer or outsider isn't going to search for it) but as I understand it, people may have some thoughts on what that option would look like, leading me to ask question 3: 3) What are you constraints on option 2? Would you prefer using non-profit / cooperative / what have you funding options - or the lack thereof, and thus check and cash - over for profit funding options? 4) Comments on various means of communication about dues, what's worked, what hasn't, what you'd like to see. This is a non-committal, information gathering exercise. Looking forward to h^3, Tommy ----------------- Thomas Riley York (杨德民) 510.926.0510 http://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyyork

6 beautiful mahogany pews for sudo room. Free!

by Ray Lai

Heres the saga thusly: There are 6 pews for free in vallejo. They are a beautiful mahogany with orange/red seating. They are 16 feet long. Marty was going to haul them with his truck but unfortunately the bed is too short. :( So we turned to Craigslist for a mover. We found one who would do it for $60! Woot! We had it set up for 9 this morning. He calls at 8 and says his truck bed is too small. :( So we looked up prices from U-Haul. $30 bucks for a 17' moving van. Sounds perfect. Unfortunately the fine print says U-haul charges $1 a mile. Vallejo is apprx. 30 miles away. So we are looking at something around $100-$110 with gas & bridge. So any ideas, Sudoers? Anyone have access to a flat-bed? Or want to chip into the cost of the U-Haul? The church lady was so nice; she said she would hold them for another day if we could get it together. When I remarked on her niceness she said it was the "Jesus" in her. :) Ideas? (Tenacious) Ray Lai Ice Cream Man Atomic Ice Cream Facebook.com/MotoAtomico

Free freezer (needs coolant) for your project

by Raymond Lai

Hello Sudoers! Who wants an apartment sized freezer for a project? You can make a DIY smoker <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHJlBLYGNcs> or use it in fermenting beer. <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/> The freezer works as a fridge now (possibly needs more coolant), and it chills to about 40 degrees F. It's completely free, you just need to grab it from our apartment on Oakland Ave x Grand. We are at the top of 1 flight of stairs. Here's some pix for the freezer/fridge that will make the perfect smoker or beer fermenter of your DIY dreams. Cheers, Ray the Ice Cream Man 415.843.1287 <http://www.instructables.com/id/Converting-a-fridge-for-fermenting-beer/>

Long live the Exchequer

by Anthony Di Franco

After a long period of semi-benign neglect of the weightier aspects of the Excheqing, I am happy to pass the function on to the eminently qualified Tommy York. In addition to having drafted a new set of fiscal solvency sheets for us which look like they will serve us very well, he brings experience running coop finances and a business degree to the task. This could not come at a better time, since the regular budget surpluses I mostly passively functioned over mean that we will very soon be crowdfunding sudo projects with our surplus income. My day job is now to write an accounting system for a crowdfunding and community currency platform with significant conceptual overlap with our own financial processes, and to the extent I am able contribute this sort of automation to what we do at sudo room, I will deeply appreciate the guidance and leadership of someone with a firm handle on the business issues at the core of things. As is our ancient sudo custom, after the obligatory series of polite, coy refusals by Tommy, the Excheqatorial sceptre was dropped and waved in the prescribed manner, and the information on the accounts was handed over, and the ritual of assumption is now complete. Welcome to the future, Tommy!
