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

new bandsaw

by Jake

i brought in a new bandsaw for sudoroom. it's free-standing and very awesome. It can cut the fuck through anything you put in there, be careful. i'm going to get some metal-cutting blades for it, for now it has a coarse wood-cutting blade. here's the "manual" for it if we need it, uploaded to the wiki. i don't know how to make a wiki page for it and reference the file, maybe you can do that. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Bandsaw-manual.pdf -jake
