Hey!
I look back on my involvement in SudoRoom and Noisebridge and *I was most
happy and having fun bouncing off ideas with people when working on
projects.* This also contributed the most fun to SudoRoom and shows what is
unique about the space.
I got sucked into a bunch of interesting events, especially around teaching
and helping lead Women Who Code meetups. That was very fun! I socialized
with a lot of cool people and had good times. There were nice conversations.
But these kinds of activities ultimately did not produce any tangible
results that I could build upon. I am not interested in being an event
planner or a teacher, although those are noble activities!
*How can we help make SudoRoom a bit more project-based? *By putting new
potential members on the path to creating projects, i think this would help
with our retention.
I keep mentioning again and again to new people that it's not so much
fitting in with the people, having people hug you or going to events where
everyone looks exactly like you that's important... meetups are all over
the bay area. it's really the projects that suck people in and help them
add diversity to the space.

Dear Sudo Room,
Here's your invoice for your outstanding balance on Dec 2016 rent, as well as January, February, and March 2017. Given numerous organizational transitions upon purchasing the building, we established a fresh Quickbooks account for the new bank account. Previous invoices #1514, #1533, #1550, and #1569 have been rendered void. Please pay this invoice instead.
The monthly total reflects the decrease consented to by the Omni Delegates upon Sudo Room's transition to becoming a fiscally-sponsored project of the Omni.
Payments to this account in the amount of $1,476.61 on 12/1/16 and $1,600 on 2/7/17 have been applied to this invoice.
Thank you for stewarding the commons.
Love and solidarity,
Omni Commons
------------------------ Pledge Summary --------------------------
Invoice # : 1020
Invoice Date: 02/06/2017
Due Date: 02/25/2017
Amount Due: $3,923.39
The complete version has been provided as an attachment to this email.

Greetings All,
I have a collection of motors, motor controllers, joysticks, wheels, and wheelchair frames available. I find that I'm unable to spend the time that I used to on projects, and these are taking up too much space. Please email me if you're interested in using some for a project, joe(a)totallyshould.com
It would be fabulous if some money can change hands, but if you have a cool project pending and a specific need for this stuff, that's also good enough for me.
Thank you!
Dear Sudo Room,
Here's your invoice! We appreciate your prompt payment.
Thanks for stewarding the commons!

Hey ya'll
I've been MIA for a bit and trying to get back into things. Trying to host
a meetup for radical techies once a month, I was wondering what's the
process for doing that at Omni/Sudo.
Thanks!

I have it on good authority that at the weekly sudo hangout tonight at 7 pm
there will be mac & cheese of several varieties, including a gluten free
version, provided by the very generous rcsheets!
So come hang out, maybe bring something to drink, or maybe something to
show and tell?
