A fellow named Bobby says the printer upstairs in Jennifer's office is not
working and they really need someone to help them so they can print
pamphlets. He is saying it is really important.
Hey Folks,
I was talking to Ramy yesterday about how we need a survey to send out to
our members and begin to quantify our impact on the surrounding community,
better position ourselves as the valuable institution that we are, and
better understanding ourselves and communicate that to other sources of
$$. I know this funding and self-quantification issue badly needs to be
addressed at other hackspaces, so I have cc’d them here as well.
So here it is as a prototype!

ONLY 5 QUESTIONS!!
Here’s the spreadsheet that it creates.

Keep in mind that google forms is super limited in what formatting
structures it will allow, so it limits us a bit on what level of precision
we can get in response data. Don’t hate, it’s free. Survey Monkey isn’t
much better from what I can tell.
Feel free to copy/edit/comment as needed.

at last nights' meeting we talked about Steve at a meeting again, because i
brought it up because we hadn't properly discussed it originally.
Since the first time we talked about this at a meeting, Dante was picked to be
Dante was picked to be a conflict steward for this issue.
At the meeting last night, a safe space ban was initiated for Steve to have to
leave until mediation achieves an alternative arrangement. If no mediation
takes place, the ban will stay in effect.
Hello,
Hope you are well. I just wrote some cheap node code to email people when
payments fail.

I volunteered to do this at the last meeting. I was wondering if someone
would be willing to volunteer some text for the body of the email and
subject. I tested this with my fake stripe account.
Thank you
Noah
PS Not trying to step on people's toes, if you feel that way please let me
know so I can adjust.
Hi all,
Are there are woodworkers in the house? I have some questions about a wooden frame I’d like to build for a large illuminated matrix. I have some basic questions about types of wood and CAD software for working in wood.
Anybody out there? Thanks.

* how's the new membership process working
* how can we get more funding

I've been a lurker for a while and was a member for a bit as well and I
thought of you guys since I have a few electronics to get ride of.
I'm not sure if sudo room can use this or has the room for it (no pun
intended), but I have an almost 10 year old 46" TV i'm getting rid of.
It's functional besides a bit spotty sound when there is a lot of base.
Would that be useful you to anyone at SudoRoom / Omnicon or would it turn
into a giant dust collector?

Hi all,
The discussion of membership management made me think of proposing
suggested membership donations to the space.
I have been brainstorming some tiers, and I'd like to also make the
possible suggestion of people donating one hour every two months to the
space in lieu of dues? Or everybody donate an hour every two months, period?
What do you think?
