Thriving by what standards? Sudoroom's values go against many of the
dominant trends in hackerspaces, so in this and many other cases we
might find ourselves making our own way. :)
That said, I support having a lockable door. It's not about being
strict, it's about having options. Members who are in the space should
have the choice to decide whether they want to do the heavy lifting of
holding a radically open space, or whether they just don't have the
spoons for it. I think this is a great balance between all of our
community's needs and values. I think most of the day we'll find
ourselves in the former situation. And it's not that radical a change
for Sudoroom, it's pretty much exactly how things were during our
formative years at 2141 - the door could be (and often was) locked at
any time.
Hey Sudo!
Yet another session of the excellent Coursera Crypto course has started as
of today! [0] If you are interested in learning more about cryptography,
this is a great place to start.
Additionally, I and some others are interested in starting a weekly study
group to discuss the course material and help each other with the
assignments. We were thinking Sudo Room would be a good place to host it!
So this email is meant to:
1. Gauge interest in such a study group from the sudo community
2. Make sure it's ok to host something like this at Sudo
Is there anything we should do to host this at sudo in the most positive
way possible for the space and community?
Cheers,
Garrett

Yes please! I would love to help with this. I could drive some muscle
over there in my car as well.
Would we put this in the ballroom? The existing ballroom piano is
getting really sad and out of tune, I think because it keeps being
moved around. I would love to know any ideas people have for keeping
the pianos open-access and reconfigurable, but also not a total
maintenance nightmare.
Also, I would really like to fix the existing one but don't know where
to start. If anybody out there knows how to fix and tune pianos, and
would like to exchange knowledge or learn alongside me, please let me
know! :D

Sorry, I've missed a bunch of meetings. Is "member/memberguests only
hours" an official thing we do now?

We can set up a sasl/pop/imap if you're ok connecting from a local
email client instead of just having things forwarded to gmail. Just
nobody's made it a priority yet.

Sure, just let us know:
1) whataddress(a)omnicommons.org you want
2) the email address you'd like it to forward to
You can send those requests to me or another sysadmin individually, or
to sysadmins(a)omnicommons.org
Hi Folks,

People who came to the last one were really happy. Come hear what women in
our community have to say.
Best,
Marina

I'd be comfortable with this as long as we can still have the doors
propped open most of the day, or whenever members feel comfortable
doing so.
Hi all, I was wondering if there's an easier way to change my commons/lists accounts than just unsubscribing, and re-subscribing from the lists?

Coming to the conclusion that sudoers should actively try and keep a better
awareness of their surroundings, including CCL. I know I often let CCL just
be at the boundary of my awareness and have no idea who's in the space,
although it would be easy for me to know.
