I'm proud to announce that MeshPoint has become one of the 12
finalists of The Hackaday Prize 2017. We’re competing for first place
in two categories: Best Product and as best project overall.
Thanks to the effort of MeshPoint team members, the collaborative
project has gotten another confirmation that we are working on
technology that’s going to make a significant impact on the IT
industry and the humanitarian innovation sector. In the past months,
we have been working hard to perfect our device’s efficiency,
performance and appliance.
Out of the 12 chosen finalists, 5 are selected to win 5,000 up to
50,000 USD. Honestly, just being selected as one of the best by
leading IT experts, engineers, entrepreneurs and professors from
reputable American universities (such as MIT) is great motivation and
a clear message to our team that we’re on the right track.
The announcement will be made on the Hackaday Superconference 2017,
the largest international conference dedicated to open source hardware
projects and hardware development.
The conference starts on Saturday, 11th of November. The announcements
will be made on: Saturday, 11th of November at 18:30 California time
(Sunday 03:30 CET)
You can follow the event live on the Hackaday Youtube channel or on
the Hackaday Facebook page.
Ryan Jason Martin has been safe-space banned from sudo room, and thus from
the Omni Commons.
The following is the consensus decision from last night's sudo room meeting:
"The sudoroom community stands by our existing safe space ban of Ryan
Martin for reasons of prolonged intimidation and harassment. We will seek
more information, but prioritize supporting our long-time community
members. The ban will continue unless it's overturned by a member vote at a
future sudoroom meeting."
I currently do not have any photo to share but Ryan has been informed of
this decision and I have no reason to believe that he will attempt to gain
access to the Omni in the future.

Some issues have been brought up relating to safe space that deserve our
attention.
If you are a sudo room member it would be great if you could show up this
Wednesday at 7 pm for a meeting or be available online.
Normally we'd deal with these things on the second Wednesday of the month
but I don't think it's fair for anyone involved to drag out a safe space
issue if we can avoid it.

Hi sudoers!
A documentary crew will be at Counter Culture Labs on Sunday October 29th
starting at 2 pm, shooting video until around 5 pm.
We'd really appreciate it if people could be quiet during that time :)
We will ensure that no sudo folk get into the video unless we get their
consent.
Thanks in advance!
