Hey Folks, I was talking to Ramy yesterday about how we need a survey to send out to our members and begin to quantify our impact on the surrounding community, better position ourselves as the valuable institution that we are, and better understanding ourselves and communicate that to other sources of $$. I know this funding and self-quantification issue badly needs to be addressed at other hackspaces, so I have cc’d them here as well. So here it is as a prototype! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/101yPvEzT3M6JGympcJojaUdDvBBtupY0CzuwDIGQnJ… ONLY 5 QUESTIONS!! Here’s the spreadsheet that it creates. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BkSDcypuUiuLxmRXTNRS2Fxl5iq0G2C99X0… Keep in mind that google forms is super limited in what formatting structures it will allow, so it limits us a bit on what level of precision we can get in response data. Don’t hate, it’s free. Survey Monkey isn’t much better from what I can tell. Feel free to copy/edit/comment as needed. -Cere <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdkKy5SXYwxZutBR_Bb2EHS31qa88bCpjV…> -- *Cere Davis* Science-Art | Kinetic Sculpture CereDavis.com @ceremona <http://Twitter.com/Ceremona>

steve asked to leave at tuesdays meeting

by Jake

at last nights' meeting we talked about Steve at a meeting again, because i brought it up because we hadn't properly discussed it originally. Since the first time we talked about this at a meeting, Dante was picked to be Dante was picked to be a conflict steward for this issue. At the meeting last night, a safe space ban was initiated for Steve to have to leave until mediation achieves an alternative arrangement. If no mediation takes place, the ban will stay in effect.

wrote payment failed email code need some text and feedback

by Noah Glaser

Hello, Hope you are well. I just wrote some cheap node code to email people when payments fail. https://github.com/omnicoders/stripe-failed-payment I volunteered to do this at the last meeting. I was wondering if someone would be willing to volunteer some text for the body of the email and subject. I tested this with my fake stripe account. Thank you Noah PS Not trying to step on people's toes, if you feel that way please let me know so I can adjust.

Rapping about wood

by Captain Chesapeake

Hi all, Are there are woodworkers in the house? I have some questions about a wooden frame I’d like to build for a large illuminated matrix. I have some basic questions about types of wood and CAD software for working in wood. Anybody out there? Thanks. The Cap’n

Donation

by Samir Faci

I've been a lurker for a while and was a member for a bit as well and I thought of you guys since I have a few electronics to get ride of. I'm not sure if sudo room can use this or has the room for it (no pun intended), but I have an almost 10 year old 46" TV i'm getting rid of. It's functional besides a bit spotty sound when there is a lot of base. Would that be useful you to anyone at SudoRoom / Omnicon or would it turn into a giant dust collector? -- Thank you Samir Faci https://keybase.io/csgeek

membership dues

by Captain Chesapeake

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? The Cap'n

looking for alternative to sudo humans for membership management

by Patrik D'haeseleer

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: Nation of Makers: Software Needs Assessment <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O1-3JMWx6Pny9rIGzmIAbhF2YJiVL94ppaUOMWB…> - mentions CiviCRM, Odoo, Cobot, SeltzerCRM, sudo humans, and more Infrastructure and Operations Value Matrix <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K2kZ2usa2HVeL3TwfenGpNCkskGR3kTKArP…> - compares features across various Odoo plugins, CiciCRM, and a few more Patrik
