Hi all, I'm out sick w/the flu and juggling net neutrality for EFF, so am swamped + unwell. But I met an amazing lawyer who wants to help us! Does anyone have space and time this week to meet with him, let him know where we are in our process, and walk through any questions we have? This is indeed very exciting! Happy to put people in touch :] Best, April -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Sudo Room Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:30:12 +0000 From: To: April Glaser <april(a)eff.org> April, You may remember that we spoke very briefly at the Swartz memorial hackathon about Sudo Room's non-profit status and ongoing compliance woes. I am still interested in helping Sudo Room get its legal ducks in a row. Would you like to do a phone call or meet to talk about what needs doing? If you keep hours at EFF, we could certainly meet nearby. (I'm near 6^th and Mission, at least for the next few months.) Best, Kyle Kyle Mitchell Attorney at Law San Francisco

Board Nominations begin TONIGHT!

by Vicky Knox

*Are you a member of Sudo Room? Are you or a fellow Sudo Room member you know really good at going to a meeting once a year and filling out occasional paperwork with all your best friends?* *Nominate your future board now!* *Here's how the nominations process works:* - [Now - Nov. 26] Reply all to this email with people you want to nominate. "People" could include yourself and should be human or human-passing. Because the law says so, we must have 5, 7, 9, or 11 Board Members. A few of us are open to remaining if there aren't enough enthusiastic nominees. - [Nov. 26 - Dec. 3] If you are nominated, you may accept/decline during this period. If you are opposed to any nominee, speak up! - [Dec. 3 general meeting] We will discuss opposition to any nominees. If we have more non-opposed nominations than slots to fill, we can teach the robot arm how to draw names from a hat and have it execute 11 names-draws. *Board Member responsibilities: * - Bug Marc (our new Treasurer and continuing Board Member) to file our yearly taxes. - Submit our 501(c)(3) incorporation application (ask current Board members for details). - You may step down from Board whenevs you want--just let us know with some time so we can find a replacement. - Basic details here <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board> and here < https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board/FAQs>. Details for those who speak legalese: <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Bylaws#Article_7._Board_of_Directors >

lighting in the ballroom?

by Marina Kukso

does anyone know what the stage and audience-area lighting situation is in the ballroom? (or if you don't know, could you point me to the right source of info?) also, still hoping to find out what the projector situation is in the ballroom and whether we can use the same projector that we used for BACH for the upcoming variety show. - marina

Magazines in Basement

by niki

Hey all! Awhile back someone from Sudo expressed interest in keeping the Scientific Americans that are in boxes in the basement. As part of our effort to meet fire code requirements, we need to find a suitable home for these. (We'll also need to move the library out of the basement, at least temporarily to pass inspections) Does whoever wanted them want to find a place and put them away? If not, we'll take them to the dump - perhaps let me know by next week if you can? xo N

Please check your recurring donations, or start giving

by yar

https://gratipay.com/sudoroom/ Last Thursday we got $570 from Gratipay. We were finally almost breaking even on monthly costs. Today it's at $485. In order to be sustainable in the long term, we'll need to be around $1000/week. Please check to make sure your credit card info is up-to-date! And please, if you're not already giving, please sign up. Even as little as $0.50/week makes a difference. Thank you!
