It seems like this mailing list has limited reach because of various aspects
of email, and it seems like despite its imperfections and centralized server,
discord is a good choice for us to expand into.
Who among us is willing to create a sudoroom discord?

Hi I created a test SudoRoom server. It's not to replace turtles but to
enhance it!
Best,

Hello Sudoroom members
CALLI would like to procure an open network rack for the second floor of
the building in the next week to install and move the switches from the
current location. If you know anyone that is selling a used 6U open rack
cheaper then the one below please let me know ASAP. The rack needs to
support the existing 24 & 8 port switches as well as an additional 5 port
switch that will be installed when the access control is upgraded. Shelves
would be a huge plus. Open to suggestions but the goal is to get this
solidified and ordered by Thursday so that I can arrive in time for install
next week.
Standard price for 6U mounting rack:

Hi folks,
I'm a volunteer with Food Not Bombs, and with the recent changes to the
front door system at Omni, I realized I should probably get access to the
side door! Can you please help set me up so I can get into the building on
Tuesdays? Thanks!

Hi sudoers!
I'm doing a workshop for how to design parts using onshape. I'll cover
designing things to be laser cut and bent, 3d printed, and machined. The
goal is to teach cad skills by designing and making real parts.
Here is a google form to assess interest :3

Subject: [sudo-info] Sudo Mesh visit
Hello Sudo Room folks!
My name is Lydon and I am a volunteer with NYC Mesh over here in New York.
I'm reaching out as I'll be visiting SF next week from 7/16 to 7/23. I'm
mainly there to attend Open Sauce, however I'd love to visit and connect
with some of the hacker spaces and other cool things happening in the city
as well.
Us here at NYC Mesh have been connecting with a number of different groups
around the country, so we can share knowledge, skills, equipment etc. We
collaborate regularly with Seattle Community Network up in Seattle, as
they've been giving us some valuable knowledge and experience with LTE
networking. We've been sending extra networking equipment we have up to
them for them to use as well.
We've also got a few folks who have stopped by from Philly Community
Wireless as well!
I'd love to swing by and visit your space, and wanted to see if any of the
Sudo Mesh / People's Open Network project folks will be around to chat with
as well and see what you all are up to!
I was planning to visit on the 22nd for your Hardware Hacking Night, but
would be happy to coordinate to visit another time if that's better.
Thanks and I look forward to visiting and connecting with some of your
folks!

…because I was curious, and this is what I found:
What is the meaning of Git?
When Linus Torvalds made his initial commit of Git's code on April 7th 2005, he supplied the commit message <https://initialcommit.com/blog/git-commit-messages-best-practices>:
Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell
In this commit, he included a file called README. The first paragraph in this file reads:
GIT - the stupid content tracker
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager. It
doesn't do a whole lot, but what it _does_ do is track directory
contents efficiently.
