- sudo-discuss - sudoroom.org

by Jake

sudoroom needs a CNC milling machine! well guess what, we already have one (no i don't mean the robot) i'm talking about the big heavy CSAM thing that is sitting on the border between sudoroom and CCL. It was made to image ICs in their package with ultrasonic probing, but nobody cares about that and it's a really nice big 3-axis platform anyway, so we might as well throw a rotary cutter on there and have a nice CNC mill/router. what's missing? Turns out it's just software. The software that came with the ancient computer is very specifically written for raster-scanning integrated circuits with the ultrasonic probe (which works). but we need software to take G-code and drive a cutting tool around on pieces of wood, so we can carve words into wood planks or whatever. the motor controller for this machine is controlled by an ISA card inside the computer. It is controlled through "ports" accessed by the CPU. If we are unable to find software to take G-code and drive this ISA card (and i'm sure it's possible to find such software) we could just write our own software, to run in linux or DOS or whatever. The computer is a 386. Please try to find software for operating a CNC machine with this setup: Parker Compumotor PC-23 here is the manual for the hardware we have, which lists lots of software stuff: http://spaz.org/~jake/bxi/pc23_ug-servodriver.pdf I haven't imaged the hard drive on the computer there, so i don't have everything backed up, and i haven't looked to see if there is handy software for driving the machine from G-code, but i doubt it's there. The software that's there can move the machine around, but only for scanning CSAM. If you want to play with it, let me know. We can meet up at sudo. -jake someone has been here before: http://www.programd.com/62_0e8487061f6729ba_1.htm

Replacing the term "bottom-liner" with..?

by niki

Hey all, I want to honor the request from some Omni community members that we replace the word bottom-liner. Can we collect a list of alternatives and mutually agree to attempt to replace this phrase / to lovingly and compassionately correct one another if and when we slip up? As little as it may seem, this will require a cultural shift for a lot of us that I'm sure we're all willing to make, but it'll likely take a bit of time before it collectively takes root. It would be great if those who take particular issue with this phrase could put forth their suggestions. I will collect suggestions and make a poll both online and in the real world. Here are some suggestions of mine: * steward * curator * representative Love, N

Reminder - no loud music or drumming in disco room plz :)

by David Keenan

That room shares a paper-thin wall with our neighbor (the walls of our buildings touch) so until it is better soundproofed there can be no drumming and no loud music - at least, for sustained periods - in that room.. I hope everyone understands this, and please contact Commons group if you have any questions. David

BAPS-instantiated provisional ban: Kevin Troffer.

by David Keenan

Hey guys, A guy named Kevin Troffer was seen rolling through Omni the other day. I am calling for him to be provisionally banned from BAPS and therefore from Omni. Kevin is not a member of the Bay Area Public School, but he did attend classes at the (short-lived?) offshoot, the San Francisco Public School. For those that don't recall, Kevin is a guy who smashed a bottle across a comrade's face during a SFPS class. The comrade in question who suffered the blow was a manager of an SF bookshop with a back room in which BAPS classes also took place. (This site for classes was originally arranged by BAPS, and extended to SFPS in the spirit of solidarity.) The class Kevin was in, showed up on the wrong day, during another event but was still allowed to use the space. Then, the shop was closing down and Kevin was unhappy about having to leave - he argued with the manager then struck him in front of ~40 people and fled. Subsequent to this, an attempt to ban him at a BAPS meeting was called for and failed, not because any information was provided to contradict this account, but because two BAPS members felt because they were not personally there, they were not in a position to judge. This failure was before Omni and its safe space policy, and before BAPS adopted Sudo's conflict resolution policy as well. Because of this, I am calling for a provisional ban of this individual pending discussion at the next BAPS and Omni delegates meeting. Unfortunately I do not have his photo, but if anyone has one please pass it along, and also please pass along his email address and/or this message to him. Best, David

A reminder was also brought up at the sudo meeting: if you see people who look like they're just about to leave a whole bunch of stuff here ("donation") you can (and please do!) let them know that donations should go through donations(a)omnicommons.org (or a collective?) to make sure that they're not costing us money and time and love and oil and tears.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] A Central Location for Omni Docs

by Eske Silver

Yea, that's one reason why owncloud would be good. Or simply a docs partition on the digital media library.

Everything they write will be public and brought to a meeting, but things shouldn't be "hashed out", meaning the long fact-finding conversations don't happen at meetings.

Fwd: Pleas send out over your networks TODAY? ???!!

by Matthew Senate

Filling in on this panel by last-minute request. Promoting the Omni Commons fund-raising campaign and seeking connections to others who can contribute. The Grange represents a very intriguing parallel organizing history to our initiative with Omni Commons, I would enjoy engaging others in comparisons, etc. What does the struggle over the commons look like in rural vs urban contexts? // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Severine von Tscharner Fleming <smithereen(a)me.com> Date: Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 2:48 PM Subject: Pleas send out over your networks TODAY? ???!! To: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> *Tonight from 7-9 PM Grange Future will be inhabiting the community space that is Shaping SF <http://www.shapingsf.org/>. We will have presentations by Matt Senate, Brewster Kahle and Severine Fleming along with our traveling Grange Future pop-up exhibit on display. The event is free and open to the public. * Mutual aid societies proliferated during the gilded age, as workers, miners, loggers, and farmers joined together in fraternal orders. The Grange, or patrons of husbandry" was such an order, founded in 1867 by forward thinking farmer Oliver Kelley, assisted by his niece Caroline Hall. Grange Future <http://www.grangefuture.org/> is a celebratory tour organized by Greenhorns <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/>, a young farmers cultural organization. This will be our 9th stop on the tour-- investigating the revival and preservation of the grange as a commons. It's an inter-generational event to help interpret the radical history, and potential of the grange for both greenhorns and the grey-hairs who've loyally tended this community-owned institution, its lovely halls and ritual practices. As victorian as it is Occupy, the grange holds a powerful critique of monopoly capitalism. The grange was the first order to give equal votes to women, and operated as a social hall, economic reform organ, and legislative training facility for the populist movement. Grangers believed mightily in yeoman agriculture, in direct democracy, and in equal access to information and science. Grangers successfully organized thousands of co-operatives across the country as well as the 8 "Granger laws" regulating railroad monopolies, and lobbied successfully for Rural Free Mail Delivery -- the equivalent in its day to rural broadband or electrification. Aren't today's cooperatives <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/guidebooks/cooperativefarming/>, open source licenses, hacker-spaces and mutual-aid associations an analog response to Gilded-age type concentration of capital? Is the grange a venue for the sharing economy <http://communityenterpriselaw.org/forming-community-enterprise/nonprofit-or…>, today's populists and common-wealth advocates working on a public-banking <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/13/post-office-banking-_n_4776767.html> to rescue a failing Post Office (threatened with privatization), the community seed banks (threatened with USDA regulation), to host buying clubs, co-packing facilities, affordable rural day-care and fix-it potlucks? As a generation with 1.3 trillion dollars in student loans, don't we need a club-house for community action, democracy schools, and doesn't it not matter if we aren't all farmers? This tour brings a multi-format exhibit showcasing the radical themes of Grange history to more than a dozen Grange halls in the state of California. It’s a chance to interact with next-generation grangers working on inter-generational truce-making. It's a chance to learn how to operate the microphones, the power breakers, the correct arrangement of pots. In short, it's a place to meet the keepers of the Commons. Severine has created a slide show presentation with contemporary echoes of Grange Spirit. We continue to sniff out and study, and perform oral histories on emergent cultural forms and trends. So far we’ve documented: Pancake breakfasts, benevolent societies, community orchards, seed libraries, and community canneries. Our exploration of past and present populism continues. Listenhere <http://thegreenhorns.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=df3f36b607325b38808…> for the podcasts of the Grange Future Oral history project. Matt Senate collaborates with many others on the Omni Commons, a grass-roots initiative to forge a commons in the east bay within a 20,000 square foot former Italian social club (and former music venue). Using a spokes-council model and horizontalist organizing practices, the Omni Oakland Collective is constituted by member collectives and operates on a consensus-based process, as well as with do-ocratic values. He is a co-founder of the Sudo Room, an Omni Commons member collective, and home of the Sudo Mesh project launching the People's Open Network, a community-owned and -operated wireless mesh network. Brewster Kahle <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle> has been working to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge for more than twenty-five years. Since the mid-1980s, Kahle has focused on developing technologies for information discovery and digital libraries. In 1989 Kahle invented the Internet's first publishing system, WAIS (Wide Area Information Server) system and in 1989, founded WAIS Inc., a pioneering electronic publishing company that was sold to America Online in 1995. In 1996, Kahle founded the Internet Archive which may be the largest digital library. At the same time, he co-founded Alexa Internet which helps catalog the Web in April 1996, which was sold to Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/> in 1999. Kahle earned a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1982. As a student, he studied artificial intelligence with W. Daniel Hillis and Marvin Minsky. In 1983, Kahle helped start Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker, serving there as a lead engineer for six years. He serves on the boards of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, the European Archive, the Television Archive, and the Internet Archive. Severine Fleming is a farmer, activist, and organizer based in the Champlain Valley of New York. She is director of Greenhorns <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/>, a grassroots organization with the mission to recruit, promote and support the rising generation of new farmers in America. Severine has spent the last seven years gathering, bundling and broadcasting the voices and vision of young agrarians. Greenhorns runs a weekly radio show on Heritage Radio Network <http://www.heritageradionetwork.org/> and a popular blog. They produce many kinds of media, from documentary films to almanacs, anthologies, mix-tapes, posters, guidebooks and digital maps. They are best known the documentary film, “The Greenhorns” <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/category/media/documentary/> and the raucous young farmer mixers they’ve thrown in 37 states and 14 grange halls. Severine is co-founder and board secretary of Farm Hack <http://farmhack.net/home/>, an online, open-source platform for appropriate and affordable farm tools and technologies, as well asNational Young Farmers Coalition <http://www.youngfarmers.org/> which now boasts 23 state and regional coalitions. She serves on the board of the Schumacher Center for New Economics, which hosts Agrarian Trust, <http://agrariantrust.org/> her latest startup, focused on land access for beginning farmers, and permanent protection of affordable organic farmland. Grange Future is a community history project undertaken by The Greenhorns to investigate the the Patrons of Husbandry as a 125 year old populist movement, and to showcase the Granges and Grange-like organizations continuing to work, and organize in this spirit. We see the Granges as an appropriate vessel for futurist, family-farm oriented community action, with a strong basis in economic theory, resistance and cooperation. We hope to embolden greenhorns in our network with an entry-point into the grange movement, to unlock and revive the many grange halls currently hibernating: to use the syllabus of past actions to inform contemporary ones, and to reclaim the radical politics of the grange at the local and national levels. With this project we’ve captured the history and current activities in audio, visual, and written form, we’re gleaning the institutional wisdom from decades of agrarian organizing, and connecting with the broad community tackling similar themes throughout the nation. Community is the pre-condition for action, if you too feel inspired by the grange, we hope you will join in the convening, the kinship and the future-making.

Crisis Resources: Help curate this important page!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, I've started a wiki page to document crisis resources, namely homeless shelters, hotlines, domestic violence programs and drug and alcohol rehab programs: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Crisis_Resources This is the beginning of a research project that I'd love to have others collaborate on. It involves: * Documenting known resources on the wiki page, * Cross-checking to ensure each resource still exists and has a good reputation, * Creating a paper-based handout we can give to folks in need (frontdesk = helpdesk!), * Circulating knowledge of available resources among our community so we can tailor recommendations to individual needs. Please help by contributing a few resources to the wiki and documenting the address, URL and phone number of each addition: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Crisis_Resources Many thanks, Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Laser gantry, oh gantry, where art thou drivers?

by Adam Munich

Hi all, The full spectrum laser cutter I brought to the hacker pace has been out of service for some time, after Brendon's attempt to fix its loose keyswitch ended in board-popping disaster. (Shit happens, **but ermehgawd always remove power before fixing circuits guize**) Anyway, I bought some new stepper motor drivers to replace the burnt ones on the controller, but unfortunately there seems to be more wrecked with it than just that simple fix. I'd love to get this thing working for the community, though, that's a bit hard with no brains for the machine. A new board from full spectrum is $1500, but I contacted them with a "we're a poor hackerspace" card and they'd be willing to replace it for $250 if I mail in the old controller, which I feel is within raise-able reach. This would give us full access to their software suite / print driver, and a reliable machine. The other option, suggested by rayc is to use an arduino, stepper controllers and a g-code generating toolchain to run the machine. While I don't see any reason why that couldn't work, I feel like that might be a bit awkward for people who wish to use the cutter, and further makes the guide I wrote kind of useless. http://hack.rit.edu/tools/full-spectrum-laser-cutter/ As a community, what do y'all believe is best?

Electrical cords running out to the street

by niki

There's an electrical cord that has been hanging out of the window by the front door. I think it's okay to let community members use electricity while they are here, but we need to communicate that cords should be brought back in when they're finished using them. I'm not sure who talked to the gentleman who is charging his motorbike - he said it was brought up at Sudo room - but I asked him not to leave the cord out there and if that message could be reinforced that would be great! <3 N

Tom's data indicates that neither cis men and cis women can be fully trusted to keep toilets clean. The solution is clear: only trans and genderqueer people should be allowed to pee at the Omni.

I'm going to pee sitting down at the omni: A call for others to join.

by Maximilian Klein

Please excuse the unusual nature of this email and take me seriously for a moment. I have started the practice of sitting down to pee at the Omni, which is not something I do anywhere else in my life. Before I continue, you may well be wondering if I am assuming that my readership are the owners of "hoses" as Arnas called them . "No" is the answer, but of course if you already urinate while sitting then perhaps this call to action is less germane. Here is my reasoning: 1. I Care about bathroom cleanliness at the Omni. 2. After close inspection, and many trials, even with the utmost care I cannot urinate standing up in a way that gets all my urine securely in the bowl without splashing a very small amount. 3. In my experiments peeing sitting down is almost fail-safe at getting all my urine in the toilet bowl. 4. I have the option to sit down to pee. Since there are two options, and one is superior from a cleanliness point of view - albeit slightly more labour intensive - and since cleaning will be done in solidarity by one of our members; I therefore am pledging to sit down to pee at the Omni. I hope you will take this position with me, if you can, to build a cleaner Omni. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

a pirate's map of sudoroom - for the sudokit education project

by Romy Ilano

Hi. I'm working on SudoKit <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit> . - the goal is to make a physical artistic "learn how to use sudoroom" kit that uses the internet, digital phones & tablets as much as possible + encourages folks to use the sudroom It's basically a series of boxes with paper placemats inside. each placemat represents a project I want to put out periodic Maps like this one that are fun. here's a very rough draft *- does one already exist? has someone worked on it* - i want these to be playful - there should be an adventure every time someone visits - hopefully solves the problem of being overwhelmed... encourages exploration https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit#SudoRoom_Treasure_Map ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Elliot Hughes

by Matthew Senate

While I wasn't there for this latest instance, this is the second time in our new location (I was present the first time) and at least the fourth instance related to sudo room, of Elliot escalating a situation to a physical, even violent, response on his part. I am no longer willing to tolerate this behavior and continue to risk all the love, care, and work that goes into making all of omni commons, and each collective, a thriving and safer community and space. In sum, it seems evident that Elliot's continued involvement in omni commons is already a greater cost, and even greater potential risk, than a revocation of his privilege to use the space. I propose sudo room in particular revoke Elliot's non-member privilege to access the sudo room, and therefore the omni commons, until Elliot can provide the sudo room membership with tangible evidence of a new investment in the prevention of physical violence and marked improvement of his own behavior in this regard. // Matt

Update on sudo-discuss problems

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, The two previous posts did not go to this gmail but did go to my yahoo email -- of course into my spam folder. So, the main thing is for someone to forward my posts so everyone can see them. And can someone tell me how I can get my posts to come to this email where everyone else's posts arrive at, but not mine for some reason (and here none go into the spam folder). Hope I haven't taken up too much time and space with all this, but the yahoo spam folder thing is something everyone should be aware of. Have a funny day. Best, Ira Brightman

Problems with sudo-discuss

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, I just discovered that with sudo-discuss posts I was receiving at my yahoo email, over half were going into my spam folder. In fact, one I had sent was not in any folder, but did show up in the archive on the Sudoroom site (as I believe did all posts). I signed in to receive sudo-discuss posts at this, a gmail account, and none went into the spam folder. So, of course, I will continue to read the posts on this gmail account. Have other people had similar issues with sudo-discuss and yahoo? Check your yahoo email spam folder if you're not sure. Have a funny day. Best, Ira Brightman

art making at Greenpeace warehouse this Sunday

by April Glaser

Hi all, This Sunday I'm going to the Greenpeace warehouse to help build art, structures, paint banners, paint puppets, canoes etc for the upcoming big giant Oakland climate march in February, protesting Gov Brown's expansion of fracking. We need your help. Meeting at the Greenpeace Warehouse, 955 7th St., Oakland this Sunday. I'll be there from 11am-2pm. Let me know if you need a ride; I'd be happy to help. Also let me know if you're coming. It's accessible, too. http://marchforclimateleadership.org/arts-organizing/ My friend David Solnit is organizing it, and he's a fantastic artist (did all the art for the massive climate march in NYC in 2014). If you've never been to the Greenpeace warehouse, it's pretty awesome. They have all kinds of crazy equipment + artifacts from GP missions and Oakland protests past. Please join us, even just for an hour :) See another cool space and learn about California's changing energy economy. Peace, April PS: Please forward this to whoever might be interested!

Call for volunteers to help man Omni's front desk!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi friends! As part of the Welcoming Committee, we're looking for folks to help man the front desk of the Omni. Day shifts (10-2, 2-6pm) will be done in tandem with La Commune. Our priority right now is filling evening shifts, 6-10pm, as these are the busiest times for the Omni and most in need of guides to point people where they need to go. It's a great way to simultaneously meet new people and have a sweet spot to work on things that are interruptible. You can sign yourself up for shifts here: https://ethercalc.com/omni-front-desk What are the responsibilities of the front desk? * Simply a face to say hello when people walk in! * Check omnicommons.org/calendar and know what's going on and where things are. * For evening shifts, checking that folks are coming for specific purposes and turning people away if necessary. * Giving tours, if possible, and answering questions about the space. * Security - to some extent, _unwelcoming_, in the rare case it's necessary, we need to have at least one person near the door and ideally two, so one person can detain while the other activates an 'all hands on deck' signal we'll be working out in the near future. For now, the best option for this is to walk to sudo/ccl and ask whoever's around to come out and help with a nonviolent walkout of the problematic individual. On that note, our bans list is here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Bans The Welcoming Committee is also creating documentation, handouts to give to people when they ask for information. We're collecting all the necessary info, mostly scraped from the wiki, to be eventually split into bits and graphically jazzed and printed by our artistically-inclined comrades, here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p6PFP4A1_7EypsyhqJ5qM4-HglKCgrk7h024fKJ… Got suggestions and ideas on how we can do this better? The Welcoming Committee meets every Thursday at 6pm in La Commune :) Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://sudomesh.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Re: [sudo-discuss] sudo-discuss Digest, Vol 27, Issue 4

by Brendan

Wanted to shoot off a quick reply before passing out. I have a shipment of those driver chips at the post office that I need to pick up, but since that's not going to be a viable solution-- I do feel a certain amount of responsibility and while I do not currently have cash this week i would probably be able to finance this in a week or two. Let me discuss the purchase with my partner before i commit though.

Message-ID: <CAF2ed1PMAuGjsGZ3jpYHDYt3YmMuF+cwoKGUkzm_jRuHfAB1oA(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi all, The full spectrum laser cutter I brought to the hacker pace has been out of service for some time, after Brendon's attempt to fix its loose keyswitch ended in board-popping disaster. (Shit happens, **but ermehgawd always remove power before fixing circuits guize**) Anyway, I bought some new stepper motor drivers to replace the burnt ones on the controller, but unfortunately there seems to be more wrecked with it than just that simple fix. I'd love to get this thing working for the community, though, that's a bit hard with no brains for the machine. A new board from full spectrum is $1500, but I contacted them with a "we're a poor hackerspace" card and they'd be willing to replace it for $250 if I mail in the old controller, which I feel is within raise-able reach. This would give us full access to their software suite / print driver, and a reliable machine. The other option, suggested by rayc is to use an arduino, stepper controllers and a g-code generating toolchain to run the machine. While I don't see any reason why that couldn't work, I feel like that might be a bit awkward for people who wish to use the cutter, and further makes the guide I wrote kind of useless. http://hack.rit.edu/tools/full-spectrum-laser-cutter/ As a community, what do y'all believe is best?

24 hour bans in place for Elliot and Rayc.

by Maximilian Klein

Please be advised that there was an altercation in sudo room today. I gathered that there may have been a person who might have seemed like they were walking away with a sudoers' headphones. When I came to the hear what the noise was about, I saw Elliot and Rayc arguing with a person I didn't know. It was accused that Elliot physically tried to stop this person from leaving in a potentially violent way. That person who had the headphones, was not a member and was not vouched for. I asked that headphone-person to leave, which was difficult, so I asked Elliot and Rayc to leave the building if they wanted to continue their discussion with the person I was trying to ask to leave. I'm not sure if Elliot and Rayc are sudo members. If they are not, then I think through an Omni-ban bylaws them being asked to leave should extend for 24 hours -as I understand it. Time effective 1:30 pm on Jan 8. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Can you help with more 3D Scans of Omni Friday 1/9 at 6pm-9pm?

by David Keenan

Hey all! So, Erik Strals - who made the 3D scans of the Omni ballroom & Sudo Room - is coming back tomorrow (Friday 1/9) at 6pm, to do more 3D scanning of omni! Erik can't do this by himself - at least two peoples need to be on hand to help Eric with the following basic tasks: - Temporarily blocking off entry to all rooms to be scanned, so no one walks through in the middle of a scan - Do a basic clean up of the rooms to be scanned so the preserved-for-ever 3D view is not of a dumpy mess Rooms to be scanned this round are: La Commune Disco Room, TIL & Den Basement As many other 'little rooms' / offices we can get to -- TIL: Can we make sure your room is open/unlocked? LC: We will probably want to pull down the tarps, put some books out and perhaps clean up a bit to make the space look nice? Best! David

Add our lawyer to the sudoroom github org, so that they can draft our agreement in the open?

by Maximilian Klein

I'm not an admin on the account, so I can't do this, but I think it's worthwhile- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kyle Mitchell <kyle(a)kemitchell.com> Date: Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 1:01 PM Subject: Re: [sudo-taxes] Introduction To: "taxes(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <taxes(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Apologies for the delay. I've had a think on the engagement letter, and have decided to be ok with hashing it out in the open. It's very unusual to do it that way, but I take it Sudo's not much into orthodoxy for its own sake. Neither am I, frankly. Can someone add me (@kemitchell) to the GitHub org? I'll put my proposal on a dev branch in a /sudoroom repo and post a link to taxes@. -----Original Message----- From: Jenny Ryan [mailto:tunabananas@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 28, 2014 12:08 PM To: Kyle Mitchell Cc: taxes(a)lists.sudoroom.org; Maximilian Klein Subject: Re: [sudo-taxes] Introduction This is most excellent. Thank you, Kyle! To upgrade the plan on Github, they require proof of 501c3 status or local equivalent. Does that mean proof of our CA nonprofit status will suffice?

new members

by yar

I am so excited at how many new members we've been getting! I heard that tonight there were *fifteen* new member applicants! Back in the fall, we wrote a script for new member applications: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/New_Member_Script I've been taking an extended break from Sudoroom organizing for self care reasons, but I still care a lot about the community and culture of our space. I think they are the most unique and important things about Sudoroom. That is why we added questions like: * What do you think about Sudoroom's values? * What do you know about Sudoroom's history? I notice that a couple months ago we edited the script to make these questions *optional*, and from reading the meeting notes, it's not clear that any of our new members is being asked these questions! Do most people feel like these are less important? Am I the only one?
