*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>.

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

If you keep hours at EFF, we could certainly meet nearby. (I’m near 6th and Mission, at least for the next few months.)

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

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!

Rally and People's hearing at SF City Hall on Net Neutrality this Thurs

by april glaser

Hi all, I'm pasting EFF's outreach email below, but let me add: PLEASE COME! The rally will be awesome, with puppets and projections. And the hearing will also be pretty amazing. Expect to hear from leading experts in the debate. Speakers include: Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps; Amy Sonnie, Outreach Director of the Oakland Public Library; Jay Nath, Chief Innovation Officer for the City of San Francisco; Corynne McSherry, Director of Intellectual Property at the Electronic Frontier Foundation; and Malkia Cyril, Executive Director of the Center for Media Justice; Dane Jaspers of Sonic.net; Tim Pozar of Fandor, Chris Witteman of the CPUC; with testimony from groups like Greenlining, Dave Steer from Mozilla, Tracy Rosenberg of Media Alliance, amongst others. We'll start at 5:30 with a rally outside City Hall and at 7 the event at City Hall begins. Please share on social media and if a any representatives from Noisebridge or Sudo want to speak at the rally, please be in touch. I also encourage everyone to testify at the hearing. 60 seconds for each person who provides testimony. Best, April Electronic Frontier Foundation Dear Friend of Digital Freedom, You are invited to join EFF next Thursday, November 20, for a free public event on the quickly unfolding national debate on net neutrality <https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality>, to be hosted at San Francisco City Hall. The event <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163> is "Bay Area Speaks: A People's Hearing on the Future of the Internet," where you are invited to testify at City Hall about why net neutrality matters to Bay Area communities. Attendees will also receive an update from the lawyers, policy analysts, and activists who have been working on the front lines to make sure the FCC takes the right path forward. Before the hearing, supporters will rally outside City Hall at 5:30pm and are encouraged to bring cell phones, laptops, and flashlights for a cell phone vigil and to hold signs and colorful art to demonstrate support for Internet freedom.
