I created a new sudoroom Food hacking wiki page
I'm including starting points such as Max's Club Mate Idea
I have a sodastream that can create carbonated water and I'm all for
creating non-branded, non wasteful, healthier versions of soda and "energy
drinks"... we can make soda the old fashioned way and even better, without
high fructose corn syrup and "energy creating" petrochemicals...
Howdy all,
Just posted a wiki that is a copy of our main flyer with a link to our
website.
( Thank you Matt Senate :)
Please take a look and give feedback.
If you feel inclined to rewire a *real *democracy away from our false
republican representative government...*GET INVOLVED !!!*
See you on the flipside :)

Hello Fellow Sudoers!
Sounds like I missed some meal last Wednesday. :)
>From the thread it sounds like folks might be more interested in pot lucks
for Wednesday night meetings. I have no problem with that and would like to
offer some fresh strawberry ice coconut cream (yes, vegan!) for tonight.
Julio and I made this just sweet enough deliciousness to celebrate the
return of longer days & warm weather.
Sudo kitchen also has some raw ingredients which i will detail in another
post a little later (this cafe has no wifi (how uncivilized)) so i am
sipping a spotty connection from who knows where.
Hack ur kitchens!
Cheers,
Ray
A friend saw a flier for this ISP that provides very fast internet

I don't know much about them, but it may help sudoroom scale in the
long-term.
Hopefully, others have stronger opinions than mine.
This source is a little corporate-sounding at first but well-written. I
think they discuss a chamber of commerce non-profit in an unnamed city.
Does anyone find this useful? I relate to many of the topics.
http://www.asaecenter.org/Resources/AMMagArticleDetail.cfm?ItemNumber=557
As I indicated in Leaders Working Together, "The cornerstone assumption
remains: Collaboration does not mean we all have to agree, but we do have
to maintain mutual understanding." Having a process in place to deal with
inevitable conflict goes a long way in assisting a board in reaching that
mutual understanding and preventing destructive conflict. CPR is such a
process. And, while I've seen the process work effectively, one of the
first things a board must realize is that it takes time to move through the
steps and volunteer board members are often resistant to working through a
seemingly lengthy process that may resolve an issue or problem within the
board. In response to an interview question asked during my research, board
members from around the country revealed: "Resolving disputes is a priority
but dispute resolution is not." Hence, board members agreed that disputes
are a part of the decision-making process but, nevertheless, they do not
welcome a formal dispute-resolution process.
Therefore, when I introduce the notion of implementing a process to resolve
a dispute, I ask participants to weigh the alternatives. In other words,
how do they feel about carrying the weight of a chronic problem through
every decision-making exercise as compared to taking a little time away
from the regular agenda to resolve the issue thereby pulling that
particular weight from the board's shoulders? Generally, participants agree
that it makes sense to resolve the issue and they also discover that
collaborative problem resolution is designed as a simplified model with
volunteer boards in mind and is well worth the time it takes. Imagine how
far ahead the chamber would be in terms of time and money if they had taken
a few hours to step back and resolve the real problem at the root of its
conflict.
so, who's up for a heavy metal pantomine dance group of the articles of
awesomeness?
if there is a board of sudo directors present, you certainly don't want the
board to be bored!

I reached out to Michael Orange from Top 10 social in downtown Oakland.
Their events are parties, have more up and coming young African American
professionals, and are all around of a different, highly complementary vibe
to SudoRoom.
Top 10 social has held a lot of great art benefits--gallery benefits for
the family of youth murdered in Chicago (that one made me cry!), a Game
Changers project for filmmakers working on microdocumentaries.They also
sponsor talks on food justice and bringing healthier options to the
African-American community in Oakland and other urban areas.
- I'm talking to Michael Orange to see what projects would make sense for
Top 10 social and Sudo Room. I've known him for a couple of years, he's a
great guy.
- I threw around a few ideas that were brought up by various community
groups and Sudo Room Members -- sudo room people helping community
workshops fixing senior citizens' computers, bike fixing workshops, etc.
- I'm waiting for Michael to reply--if they have space for us I think it
would be a nice complement to SudoRoom! They are great folks, and I like
how they are differnet from us. They dress up a lot nicer than we do,so
they could be the yang to our yin or vice versa.

what are ways people can hack personal safety? (wristbands, electronics)
sorry to hear about that naomi =(
my brother was jumped a few years ago while he was riding his bike through
brooklyn. They choked him and held a knife to his throat. Not fun at all!
I think that many Sudo folk might have interest in submitting to this interesting looking event, especially Oakland Wiki. Paper proposals due Apr. 20.
> In-n-Out California: Circulating Things and the Globalization of the West Coast
> Organizers: Tiago Saraiva, Cathryn Carson, Massimo Mazzotti UC Berkeley, 5-7 September 2013
>
> Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Office for History of Science and Technology and the Drexel University STS Center.
>
> Scholars interested in the history of the West Coast have thoroughly explored the material culture of California. Square tomatoes, rockets, dams, surf boards, cyclotrons, LSD, or iPods are all common ingredients in the making of historical narratives of the Golden State. Strangely enough, many such narratives have too much of a local flavor: they don’t fully acknowledge the global circulation of those things that have produced California. This workshop deals with the double process of getting things In-n-Out of California, pointing, for example, to the ways, on the one hand, that Californian agribusiness relied on a constant supply of new varieties of crops brought into the state by plant hunters crossing many disparate regions of the globe, while, on the other hand, its standardized products, be it oranges, avocados, or wine, were shipped to international markets and became cases in point in the globalization of food. We point to globalization in the double sense that those things were the result of multiple trajectories originating from all over the world converging in California, at the same time that many things found their way out of California to produce what is commonly perceived as the globalized world. We are well aware of the trickiness and looseness associated with the concept of globalization. Too frequently the buzzword is used uncritically to cover the lack of a proper understanding of concrete historical dynamics. Indeed, one of the aims of the workshop is to get some grip on globalization by exploring narratives from the ground up through the circulation of concrete things. Specifically, a quick look at the list of things we can identify with the presence of California in the world reveals the historical relevance of engineers’ and scientists’ work in putting them in circulation. It may be suggestive to think of places like laboratories as centers of circulation where things come in, are processed, and get ready to sustain new worlds. We expect spatial issues to play an important role in our discussions. We are interested in exploring the ability of California history to help us deal with the different scales involved in historical explanations at large. California has the potential to problematize taken-for-granted notions of what constitutes the local, the region, the nation, the empire, or the globe. It also promises a fertile ground for the growing community of scholars interested in transnational historical dynamics. We welcome approaches that reveal the intricate historical processes of circulating things and making California a global space. Papers dealing with the many obstacles involved in getting things In-n-Out, and offering a sober reminder that globalization is no teleological tale, are strongly encouraged: the multiple failed copies of Silicon Valley spread around the globe, or the many tropical crops that failed to thrive in the Californian Garden of Eden. The same example of the In-N-Out burger chain also suggests how standardized things, in this case fast- food, can retain their local identity and have troubles in getting out of the West.
>
> What travels attached to those things? Identities, skills, politics, markets, all contribute to make them thick things good to think with for scholars haunted by what globalization historically means. By calling for contributions from historians of science and technology, historians of the West, world historians, environmental historians, and Science and Technology Studies scholars, we want to establish the crucial place of California in globalization narratives and better understand the making of California.
>
> Paper proposals should be about 300 words, accompanied by a short author bio. The deadline for consideration is April 20. Successful proposals will be announced by May 15. In order to make for productive working sessions, paper prototypes (powerpoints accepted) will be pre-circulated. These should be detailed enough to present the author’s argument and materials, but also open and experimental to engage discussion. Paper prototypes are due on July 10.

> Travel and lodging expenses in Berkeley will be covered by the organizers.
> A follow-up to the Berkeley event will take place at Drexel University in Philadelphia in 2014 to prepare a collective volume for publication. Travel and lodging expenses will also be provided.

Club Mate[1] is a carbonated tea drink which is hugely popular amongst
European Hackers. I thought about importing it, but that would imply
$3/bottle[2], which would leave us with slim profit margins. Let's try and
make 10% of sudoroom's budget through profits.
I am committing up to $300 in funding to this, in an attempt to make 100
bottles as a proof of concept. I need your assistance on any of the
following sub-points. Accept to do the following or provide input on the
wiki[3] and I'll write you a cheque as needed:
==Business Plan==
Initial Funding: up to $300
Target Sales: $200 - $300
1. Make it.
1. Buy sufficient raw mate
1. for 50L ~ 100 bottles
1. Assuming 500ml bottles
2. We could also use 333ml bottles
2. Brew it
1. Will we need a vat?
1. Do we have a vat?
2. Can a metal worker at sudo make us a vat
3. Spice it if necessary
1. Following this guide[4] maybe
2. Or allow adventurous sudoer to blaze trail
4. Carbonate it
1. Bobby, David Wild's roommate does this
1. Ask him nicely
2. Pay him

5. Transport it too bottler
2. Bottle It.
1. Use as many recycled bottles as possible
1. Put call out for more bottles
1. Pay a homeless person worst comes to worse

Can someone please bring an HDMI adapter to sudoroom?
Tamale is fucked up somehow and none of us can figure out why.
Networking is broken and the SD card filesystem seems perfectly
normal. We can't test with a console connection because we can't find
our HDMI adapter. I know we had one once but it has disappeared. Can
someone please bring one so we can get our door to work again? Thanks!
Hey sudoers,
With new transitions in my life, I must regretfully give up my awesome
office space at 2141 Broadway. It's a smallish window office that gets
amazing light during the day, upstairs and across the way from
Rusty/Andrew/Roshambo Media. Cost is $350/month plus about $25 utilities.
I've been splitting it with Marc and Felicia Betancourt, and I know Felicia
is still interested in a 3-way rent split.
If you're interested in taking over the lease by May 1, please let me know
asap! We can coordinate a tiny tour before you make a final decision.
Hack the planet!!

would anyone be into collecting all our work together? It would be nice to
see what other people are working on or printing out.
I'm interested in altering some existing arduino cases and making them more
interesting! and then painting them.
Looking forward to the 3D printing "Today I Learned" coming up
Wow I'm looking forward to tonight's micro controller session! I'm going to make it an eat fresh fruits and veggies night for me! Ill hack and being extra for other folks

Thank you so much for your support guys :)
it just got over the 2000 mark, still hoping for it to go a bit viral
(rent of the gallery is 1200). so it only helps me breathe for a
month... until I find more people who are regular supporters.
you still have the chance for about a day to become a Co-Founder of
the Nyan Cat University,
the first all inclusive University for anyone who wants to celebrate
peace, joy, global connection, collaboration and creativity. I think
Nyan Cat University is a big step forward for humanity ;) Nyan Cat
University is potentially everywhere, it will be an awesome website
with tutorials and the workshops can be held anywhere.
If you could post and endorse the campeign just for the sake of
helping a starving broke hacker on your facebook that would be really
awesome.
http://kck.st/YSnenO
Saturday we are having a Community Art Show from 7-10pm entiteled "
Networks in Transition", I hope many of you come out to celebrate.
Saturday we open at 1pm, please feel free to come and HACK THE
GALLERY, maybe someone could help with the website/ creating a wiki.
thank you all for your moral suport,
Patrick
Has anyone read the Radical Software book in Sudo Room?
I really like it. It was an independent movement dedicated to giving access
to television outside of the mainstream media channels. A lot of their work
involved creating manuals demystifying television equipment and sharing
resources with various collectives.

Hello Peoplez,
I am trying to build an open tv network to host our Trolls show, and I need
the help of content engineers and admins. Want to set up some streaming...
with promotion.
Let me know,
Rusty
Hey Max,
That's a great idea! I'm all for it. I have a sodastream from home that I
can bring in for any Club Mate sessions.
Should we set a time on the calendar for this? Club Mate was one of my
favorite club drinks. It's too bad they don't have it here. They also sold
it in extra large bottles so you didn't have to keep going back to the bar
for more.
Best,
Romy
sudo room now has a milliscope (based on Noisebridge's enlarge-o-scope).
It enlarges small, but not microscopic things onto a monitor!
See photos and learn how to use it here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/page/O:28
Thanks to Jake (from Noisebridge) for donating the camera and helping build
the milliscope.
Thanks to Marina and Matt for buying the main component (old analog photo
enlarger).

Hope I didnt double post now tried it on the announce list but got a
strange message back.
Dear friends,
Saturday we are having a Community Art Show starting at 7.
You can come and hack the gallery from 1pm on.
At 1 I give amateur wordpress support on demand,
at 4 there is a free class, this week probably polymer clay again,
until we get the travelling hacker/artsts class rolling. In a couple
of weeks a friend will give a lightroom class.
At 6 we have a community projects and vision update.
Only one more day to go with the kickstarter, have not slept all night
but written Fb friends individually. I changed the kickstarter a bit,
please consider pledging for the ebook or book or become cofounder of
Hack The Gallery or the Nyan Cat University.
please support the starving artists in our community ;)

now this is really dangerous... Add metadata search functionality to
Wikileaks-released excessively classified diplomatic cables. Make this
comprehensible to people who aren't foreign policy geeks and the Arab
Spring will have been just warm-up practice.
it seems like it would be very useful to better understand what Wikileaks
means by their reverse engineering of the US gov metadata. it would be
_monumental_ to further enhance this treasure trove with some natural
language search and more sophisticated pattern recognition. Sudo-Leaks,
anyone?
[excerpt from
http://wikileaks.org/plusd/about/]
The Kissinger Cables <http://wikileaks.org/plusd/about/#tkc>
The Kissinger Cables comprise more than 1.7 million US diplomatic records
for the period 1973 to 1976. Dating from January 1, 1973 to December 31,
1976 they cover a variety of diplomatic traffic including cables,
intelligence reports and congressional correspondence. They include more
than 320,000 originally classified records, including 286,000 full US
diplomatic cables. There are more than 12,000 documents with the sensitive
handling restriction "NODIS", 'no distribution', and more than 9,000
labelled "Eyes Only". Full cables originally classed as "SECRET" total more
than 61,000 and "CONFIDENTIAL" more than 250,000.
The records were reviewed by the United States Department of State's
systematic 25-year declassification process. At review, the records were
assessed and either declassified or kept classified with some or all of the
metadata records declassified. Both sets of records were then subject to an
additional review by the National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA). Once believed to be releasable, they were placed as individual PDFs
at the National Archives as part of their Central Foreign Policy Files
collection. Despite the review process supposedly assessing documents after
25 years there are no diplomatic records later than 1976. The formal
declassification and review process of these extremely valuable historical
documents is therefore currently running 12 years late.
The form in which these documents were at NARA was 1.7 million individual
PDFs. To prepare these documents for integration into the PlusD collection,
WikiLeaks obtained and reverse-engineered all 1.7 million PDFs and
performed a detailed analysis of individual fields, developed sophisticated
technical systems to deal with the complex and voluminous data and
corrected a great many errors introduced by NARA, the State Department or
its diplomats, for example harmonizing the many different ways in which
departments, capitals and people's names were spelled. All our corrective
work is referenced and available from the links in the individual field
descriptions on the PlusD text search interface:
https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd. For more information on what WikiLeaks
did to prepare the Kissinger Cables please see
here<http://wikileaks.org/plusd/about/#ptk>
.
Not all records from the period 1973-1976 have been obtained. NARA claims
diplomatic records for the period 1973 to 1976 chosen for content deletion
were of a ephemeral character. These records were identified by the "TAGS"
that were attached to them. TAGS ("Traffic Analysis by Geography and
Subject") refers to the content tagging system implemented by the
Department of State for its central foreign policy files in 1973. There are
geographic, organization and subject TAGS. This system was developed to
standardise search terms for departmental uses and was not static - TAGS
were added and deleted as necessary over time. At review, all cables that
only contained "temporary" TAGS, such as embassy logistical or staffing
requests, were permanently destroyed.
Tens of thousands of documents were irreversibly corrupted in this data set
due to technical errors when the documents were moved as computer systems
were upgraded, or so the US Department of State claims. This caused the
content of the document to be lost, though the metadata is still available.
These are often noted by a error message in the content of the document.
The documents lost in this manner are most documents from the following
periods:
- December 1, 1975 to December 15, 1975
- March 8, 1976 to April 2, 1976
- May 25, 1976 to July 1, 1976
You can see the absence of these weeks by constructing a Timegraph of
"TAGS" as this term occurs in the content of nearly every document:
https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/graph
Top Secret documents are also not available. During a migration of records
the Department of State printed out all Top Secret documents for
"preservation purposes" and the electronic versions were destroyed
permanently. These documents now only exist as hardcopies and so are
unavailable online in any form, even if declassified.
The documents not deleted either remained classified (or were deemed
unreleasable for other reasons), or were declassified and publicly
released. For the former, a "withdrawal card" was provided giving some
limited metadata about the document, the fields of which that were decided
as releasable vary from document to document. This metadata provides some
information about the document, for example the date and destination, that
can be used for research purposes and also allows a detailed FOIA request
to be made for the document. These FOIA requests can be directed to NARA's
Special Access and FOIA staff. For more information about this, please see
their online guide here <http://www.archives.gov/foia/foia-guide.html>. You
will need the document number and the To and From information.
There are nine different "Types" of document included in the Kissinger
Cables. The majority are of type "TE" - telegram (cable), which are
official diplomatic messages sent between embassies and the US Secretary of
State conveying official information about policy proposals and
implementation, program activities, or personnel and diplomatic post
operations. From 1973 onwards diplomatic cables were mostly electronic,
therefore most cables made releasable include the body (content) of the
cable. However, the other types of documents are paper records, including
airgrams and diplomatic notes. These are stored on microfilm (from 1974
onwards, as the Department of State did not microfilm documents until then)
and so were not released with the full content of the documents, even if
marked for public release. Although the body of the message is not
available online the full index (metadata) is provided for those "P-reel"
documents that were marked for release. Even though the whole document has
not been digitised the metadata is still useful for research purposes and
the documents can be requested under the Freedom of Information Act. For
those documents on P-reel that were not declassified and released a P-reel
"withdrawal card" is provided giving limited metadata. To access P-reel
documents that have a withdrawal card you should follow the same FOIA
procedure as for Telegram withdrawal cards. For the content of P-reel
documents which have been released, the process depends slightly on which
year the document you are requesting was created, but all requests should
be directed to:archives2reference@nara.gov.
For those of you interested in conserving our local wildlife,
Our local oak trees are at risk by a strange, rapidly-spreading organism you may have heard of, being called Sudden Oak Death (SOD). While there is no cure, there are measures that can curb its spread.
However, to make sure those measures are implemented efficiently, it is important to do an annual survey of the current spread of this tree disease. This involves people like you attending a training to collect suspicious bay leaves, and take notes so that they can be sent to the lab for diagnosis and geo-tagging.
Information on attending such a training is attached.

> SOD Blitz season is upon us, and we need Citizen-Scientists like yourself help map the spread of Sudden Oak Death (SOD)! We are contacting you since you attended one of our SOD related workshops in the past and hope that you will participate again this year. Matteo Garbelotto's laboratory, in conjunction with the California Native Plant Society, are organizing this yearly survey project, which promises to be our largest ever. Come to a meeting in your local area, collect samples in your community, and have them laboratory analyzed for SOD. Thanks to support from USDA Forest Service, State and Private Forestry and The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation we are offering this program to you for free!

I didn't participate in the amazing alternative funding discussion going on
in the main room friday night.
wow! it was really neat.i overheard a tiny bit of it.
http://www.hippiessavedphysics.com
you'd like HOW THE HIPPIES SAVED PHYSICS
it discusses the role of unusual self-help gurus like eckhard tolle during
the 1970s. weird rich guys like that saved the discipline of quantum
physics during a time of deep government cutbacks. a lot of those physics
phds were unemployed and working in factories.
very neat stuff, especially considering that quantum physics is used today
for the most sophisticated bank encryption.
i enjoyed the book even though i'm not a physics expert.
the mixture of lsd + ESP studies and the colorful people is very
entertaining to say the very least!
You guys I'm excited about our TIL today! Shani is here preparing for
it. She has a background in composing chamber music and sound
engineering and fun-looking electronic instruments that I've never
even heard of before! It will also be a chance to catch everybody up
on the Sudo Radio situation and learn about all the equipment in
there. So come join us this afternoon! 2PM or earlier. ;)
Also if you have any questions about audio that you want
extra-researched answers for, you can bring/send your questions in
advance and she'll spend time doing that. Isn't that awesome???
Tonight during the general meeting I proposed the Today I Learned event
"Hacking Sexual Health". I'd like to open up the floor to multiple
facilitators interested in this topic area to help me lead either one TIL
workshop, or a series of workshops if there is sufficient excitement.
Hacking Sexual Health is intended for sexual and asexual people alike.
So what does it mean to hack sexual health? Ruminate on it. :]
My personal interest is hacking menstruation. I'd like to lead a workshop
for creating cloth pads out of recycled clothing. The workshop is intended
both for people who menstruate and for people who have friends who
menstruate (and want to make them lovely presents!). We will go over
different lady product options and have fun cost-comparisons for different
products and unproducts.
I will be reserving either April 27th or May 4th upon consulting my
secretary. :P
Please contact me if you are interested in developing your own workshop or
helping me to facilitate menstruation hacking!
ykciV
PS: Clothing hackers, you know who you are!
mwahaha! i manually entered into the wiki and emailed 6 or 7 new people for
"today i learned"
we should get this zoho or something crm
they were really into the 3d printing and audio sessions... i should have
tried to get them to go to more stuff.
maybe if you know someone who's interested, like a roommate,the best way to
get them to sudo room is a "today i learned" class?

Oh hai everyone!
If you're one of the rare few who hasn't heard me rant about online
identity, now is your chance!
May 7-9: IIW workshop (Computer History Museum)
May 9-10: IDESG Plenary (see forwarded email)
There are two big events coming up in May that I feel are very
important. The first is IIW (Internet Identity Workshop), an
un-conference where people can collaborate on what they think and want
to future of online identity to be. http://iiw16.eventbrite.com/ for
more.
The second is more personal to me, and the agenda email I'm
forwarding, which takes place down the street from IIW with some
crossover. It's the Identity Ecosystem Steering Group, which is a
bunch of government and corporation types trying to create policy for
online identity. Pointing specifically to the "Use Case workshop", we
want to bring as many people in favor of nym (online pseudonyms and
anonyms) rights to educate the IDESG plenary, and make sure our views
are heard. While we're already planning a few use cases, we think it's
important that everyone has a chance to be heard, even if (especially
if) you're non-technical.
If getting to the south bay is a challenge for you, we're going to try
to set up a carpooling system. Please let me know if you're interested.
It's also worth noting that the IDESG plenary is completely free :)
Cheers,
aestetix

hullo, dorkbot humans! apologies for cross-posting, but i wanted to make sure that those of you who may not be on false profit's mailing list saw today's call for applications for Priceless 2013's art grants :)
see below for the official call, but basically we are seeking any art (or art-ish stuff, really) that will make priceless more awesome. this could be visual art installations, sculptures, interactive experiences, immersive environments, performance art, audio-visual extravaganzas, or...well, you tell us.
we're doing some work to expand our art grants program this year and we really want to pull in a ton of applicants for anything anyone thinks might make the event more fun or beautiful. this could be the sort of thing that you would normally just do on the side of the esplanade at burning man for fun one afternoon, or it could be the creation of a beautiful interactive space in a dome off in the woods, or hey--we all still love (contained, code-approved) fire :)
as the call notes, we're open to funding art projects that already exist, the creation of brand-new works, and projects destined for the playa.
suggest a thing! i can almost guarantee that we'll be excited about it.
deadline for applications is friday, 4/26.
love,
jean

The
Students for Free Culture Conference is an annual gathering of student and
non-student activists, thinkers, and innovators who are dedicated to advancing
discussions on technology, law, and public policy. Through panels and keynote
speakers, FCX 2013 will focus on current issues in intellectual property law,
open access to educational resources, maker culture, and technology policy.
Through workshops, the conference will revisit the core pillars of the free

change in United States copyright laws? This panel considers what smaller,
achievable reform looks like, how it can be accomplished, and what next steps

The Changing Landscape of Online Speech and its Regulation
Free
speech is held as one of the central tenets of many online communities, but
what is meant by it? In many online communities, censorship, freedom of speech,
pornography, harassment, and hate speech are often conflated without
consideration of who is given the power to speak. This panel will consider if,
how, and when speech online should be regulated, and by whom.Panelists will
also discuss whether Internet service providers should be held liable for
user-generated content, and what such liability would mean for free expression
online.

Hey Everyone,
Just thought I would point this out, since it came up earlier in the dues
thread. But, Marc's point(a very good marketing point about 24/7 access),
has as a big security exception, we didn't really talk about, probably
mostly because of time.
Basically, it's easy for us to think "hey, we should let this person have
access, because they seem cool, and we want to remain open," but even I get
sketched out at night sometimes, and there are real safety issues at work
here, and we should discuss them in relation to cost/benefits for the
space. It's also entirely possible that we trust someone, and they just do
something bad anyway. We don't really spend a lot of time thinking about
this, but this is something we haven't had to really deal with yet, because
we've had really shitty access up until now.
I don't know if my survey asked this question properly, but I was trying to
see if 24/7 access was worth more to people as a value, but I think for
some people it could be a safety draw-back, and at least in 1 case this is
true. I also am not sure it's really something we should be promoting, if
we do decide on it being okay for members to do.
If anyone wants to post about how they feel about this(I think it really is
about feelings in this case, because it's about promoting membership and
establishing wants/needs), then please feel free to reply here.
Thanks,
Rusty

Hello all, last night at the general meeting Marc and I brought up the use of a small fridge at Sudo for use as a reagents storage fridge (bio fridge). 15 folks consented to the use of the fridge to store reagents associated with the propagation of Gonorrhea. THERE WILL BE NO GONORRHEA in the fridge, just the agar plates and broth we need to culture the organism at a later date in our community lab. I just wanted to see if there were any e-objections. If not, I will Devon and start storing reagents in the fridge.
