FYI I've added auxiliary bike party events (Fridays) to our SudoRoom
calendar.
If we want new members or people dropping by, it's a good idea to "market"
to these folks - we had a great time when they came in a while ago to hack
on their bikes all at once.

what's nice is that the themes change every month for each of these 3 bike
parties, and it's a new opportunity for people to be creative especially
with costumes.
It would also be a good idea to document "starter projects" (I never got
around to work on my own bike personally and might add to the wiki)

I'm looking for stuff to put on the sudoroom events pages and blog - has
anyone created new year's celebrations or costumes? Religious decorations?
Winter solstice pagan celebration LED costumes?
If you'd like to share your photos we would love it!

Discussed this with Paige on Monday - November 29 (black Friday) the Spire
down the street is having a clothing swap.
This sounds like we could do some kind of measured donation on the same day
to the free store (we don't want them to be overwhelmed)

We have a lot of stuff? Should we create a lending library of stuff we
don't actually care if people return or not?
This would have less maintenance costs and effort than if we had a lending
library of stuff we really want back (and we'd have to manage late fees etc)
*a members-only "lending library" would help marketing our*
- This could serve as a* big marketing plug for SudoRoom -* Hey be a
member! You get access to our (wink wink) lending library where you can
borrow stuff on the honor system
- We could make a page where we give each item (like a cute glue gun)
pretty stickers and a name. "Borrow Homer the glue gun! She has created
universes you have never seen!" and have little animated cartoons

Do you have any stories of project syou've worked on and how SudoRoom
helped you out?
- brainstorming a guide for total newcomers. It should have a flow chart
and make it really obvious how to plan your projects, how to ask for help

We are not "marketing" ourselves well enough for a big advantage that we
have - we are nerds who offer an affordable hackerspace with ties to the
community.
Also holidays are coming up and people will be working on lights
decorations for various religions, especially the christian and christian
orthodox ones! and new year is a biggie. Has anyone worked on xmas lights
before at the SudoRoom / new year's even decorations or costumes? that
would be nice to feature on our blog
