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?

Hi all,
It might be time to look for alternatives to the sudo-humans software that
both CCL and sudo room depend on for signing up and tracking members.
Sudo-humans <https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-humans> is still missing some
very basic must-have features (like notifying anyone that someone's credit
card is bouncing, or that a new member signed up!), and the code seems
fairly unmaintainable now that the initial author has left...
I've seen both CiviCRM <https://civicrm.org/>and Odoo
<https://github.com/odoo/odoo> suggested as well-developed and
well-maintained Open Source solutions. Several of the hackerspaces in the
Nation of Makers network seemed to be switching towards Odoo, for example.
Does anyone have experience with CiviCRM, or Oboo, or want to help us
explore our best options? Please pitch in, and help us decide! It would be
great if CCL and Sudo could move together to a new platform.
Here's some resources that may be useful:

- Few miscellaneous sockets (no wrench)
- A hose with a hand pump the line.
- Couple of medium trash bags.
- A bunch of washers (fender as well), and lock washers.

i brought in a new bandsaw for sudoroom. it's free-standing and very awesome.
It can cut the fuck through anything you put in there, be careful.
i'm going to get some metal-cutting blades for it, for now it has a coarse
wood-cutting blade.
here's the "manual" for it if we need it, uploaded to the wiki. i don't know
how to make a wiki page for it and reference the file, maybe you can do that.

Hi all,
I am leading a community submersible project and think//hope some of you
will be interested in joining up the efforts! The idea is to make it
available for everyone to use after some training. Right now we need help
with fundraising to be able to make the improvements to keep everyone safe,
but we will be having work days soon and welcome everyone!
Here is a link to the fb group for it (sorry, it's just way too easy to
organize from there): https://www.facebook.com/groups/363742440772413/
Here's a link to the fundraiser: https://igg.me/at/oursub/
Hope to see you all in the deep!
