Apologies for the delayed response - many thanks for reaching out, Brandon,
and for your support of what we do!
We are always open to donations in the form of components/equipment/tools
and, at this particular point in time, especially funding! We are preparing
to file our 501c3 application within the next few weeks, at which point any
donations received can be made retroactively tax-deductible.
Our monthly expenses are on the order of $2500/month for
rent/utilities/insurance, and we're 100% …
[View More]supported by sliding-scale member
dues and donations. Currently, our monthly income is just slightly over
this amount, and we have no standing reserve funds.
If your organization would like to support sudo room financially, one-time
or recurring donations can be sent via PayPal or Stripe on our donations
page: https://sudoroom.org/donate/
If you'd like, I can notify you when we've filed our 501c3 application, so
that your donation can be made tax-deductible.
Many thanks for your support! It is much appreciated. :)
Cheers,
Jenny
Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California!

After much thought, I think the best framing question for now is: what
length of trial period can we tolerate?
I would like to hear from all Sudoroom members currently blocking this
proposal. Would you also block a 3 month proposal? 1 …
[View More]month? 1 week?
What's the magic number? Thank you.

Party this Saturday (9/19 10am-8pm):
1. *Clean*

folks to enjoy and grow interest to participate in your activities!
- Organize common spaces (especially the ballroom!) for mutual
benefit and to welcome our guests on Saturday!
2. *Bake*
- Bring baked goods on Saturday morning by *10am! *Contact Alex -
…

4. *Perform*

- Also help with A/V and performer support tasks!
5. *Find Omni Rummage (not Rubbish!!!)*

delegates' meeting.

since we have no parking here at the omni, when we pass fire code and rent
out the ballroom
there could be a total worker owned cooperative /collective that does valet
parking
they could even do services like washing the car
--> i do not have the energy to start this but i thought it'd be a nice
thought since people always complain about the lack of parking here.

my apologies... thought someone said home depot. i was in shock after joe
said the qr was ready to unload on shattuck as i was expecting a several
days delay.
glad it all worked out
thx all

Hello SudoRoom crowd,
I'll be taking off from Thailand in your direction and I would love to
meet you!
My plan is not to miss the Rent Party, and hopefully make it part of my
birthday ;P
The thing is that I'll be landing the 18th morning. Actually, I'm going
to append here the message I sent to your member I found in C$ but has
moved to Minnesota (at least most of it ;) >>
------
'been reading your profile and you sound exactly like the kind of guy I
want to meet there. Last year I read …
[View More]Little Brother and Homeland and
that's the kind of crowd I like.
I'll be landing in SF the morning of the 18th. I just realized that it
will be my birthday! wow! I've never been in the American continent, so
that would be a nice present!
I helped funding a hackvillage in Catalunya 4 years ago (Ca la Fou
<https://calafou.org/en>), and been a squatter in England.
As I said before, this will be my first time in America, in the States
and California!! It sounds amazing. I never really wanted to go to that
country, but that area has a different aura. Many generations of
activist, hacklabs (I know you call them hackspaces in there), coops,
universities, technology...
I don't know how long I'll be around there, but the main purpose is to
go farming, if you know what I mean ;P Maybe you have some contacts also.
So, will you be able to host me some days?
-------
So that's how I got to know you, bouncing from info to info till I found
out 'bout the SudoRoom.
I've seen that you have Linux evening the 18th. Maybe you can convince
me to switch back from Ubuntu back to Debian, now that Jessie is out.
Anyway, the "please host me" request is still open.
I'll be seeing you!

plz pardon my paywall metaphor
matt came forward with $600 credit to home depot of which, after 9 sheets
of quiet rock, has a remaining balance of $0.92
disaster averted!
plz stayed tuned for our next episode of we need more green glue and/or
acoustic caulk ;-)
cheers

http://www.nycworker.coop/policies#policies1
does anyone know about the nyc network of worker cooperatives?
are the nobawc or omni folks connected to these people? I guess they are
workers' cooperatives, not collectives.
Just curious, they seem larger & more plugged into the government and
employ people. I know someone who works with them -- would love to help
make connections between SudoRoom, the Omni and the greater cooperative
good.

Hello Eric,
Thanks for reaching out …

I imagine some Sudoers may be interested.
It sounds like a good idea for hands on teaching tool.
If you don't mind, can you please let us know the following:
0- How many servers are they?

1- Can you please provide the Servers' hardware configuration
(Brand, Model, CPU, RAM)?

2- Do the Servers include their rails?

Many thanks in advance!
