A friend of mine is trying to get rid of 6 old macs. Is this something
Sudo would be interested in?
They are 2011-2015 vintage.

Hey folks, happy holidays!
I'm trying to put together some samples of projects at SudoRoom.
https://sudoroom.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Category:Projects
Do you have a short overview of your project? I know it's hard but I can
volunteer to "grill" you =D
- What is it?
- Why did you do it?
- How did SudoRoom help you do it?
Any photographs would be great?!

I'm going through the junk under the stairs and there's a Nikon Kodak DCS
460 camera with no lens
https://www.digitalkameramuseum.de/en/cameras/item/kodak-dcs-460
And lots of other stuff!
Come get stuff or it's going to get e-wasted and recycled. Anyone want a
dresser?
Hi everyone
Please check out the meeting notes from last night
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2024-11-21
Some todos we have
*space todos*
- clear out all things stored under the staircase (the "computer"
library?). This is on request of the fire inspector. Given this is a lot of
stuff, I think we should do some e-wasting. CALLI is helping us, we just
need to put it in the trash room
- CCL gives a cut of profit from equipment sales to whoever does the
work to post items on craigslist. If anyone is interested in doing that
work in Sudo Room, speak up!
- We could cart some stuff over to the entrance hall and promote a
buy nothing day with the free store
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buy_Nothing_Day. Free Store doesnt have
capacity to store a lot of electronics but no problem if we
bring whatever
isn't taken back into sudo room or ewaste
- talk to CC about doing sewing programming out of Sudo Room for the
rest of the year. If that's agreed to, then we need to make some space in
Sudo Room for this
- make a Sudo Room sign and lighting for our new entrance
*nonprofit forming todos*
- Finalize bylaws
- Find new insurance plans
- Hire someone to do admin work
*communications todo*
- (re)create a discord? Right now we have a channel on the Omni slack. I
see there's some open source discord alternatives but I haven't used any.

Hi folks, Last night myself and Avery deployed the tarp from last year over
the SW corner of Sudoroom. I also placed available buckets nearby on the big
table so they can be positioned to catch drips.
While they will catch a fair amount of water, inevitably some will puddle.
From my memory, the low spot is near the standing drill press. The chrome
wet-dry vac is nearby and sucks up the excess water very well. When full,
I've dumped it outside the side entrance.
If anyone can check on the drips this evening, that would be most helpful.
Also, the excess water will eventually need vacuuming up. I¹m not available
until after thanksgiving.
Regards, Kent

As Sudo embarks on its journey for independence from Omni, one thing that
would be very helpful to do is to change the billing account for Sudo’s
Digital Ocean subscription.
Currently, as a result of something Yar did a year or so ago, Sudo Room’s
DigiOcean monthly payment is being paid out of Omni’s general checking
account. It should be paid out of the Sudo account.
For the past year or so, I have been transferring the $43.90 (on average)
from Sudo’s account to Omni’s account to reimburse Omni. However, it would
be simplest if this autopayment was made from Sudo’s account so that no one
has to transfer anything, because very soon I will not be around to do this.
Best,
SL
