Hi Lesley,
I would strongly suggest a language change to the flyer.
The flyer currently asks: "What would Nov. 1 look like if Dia de los
Muertos was obsolete?" For me, DÃa de los Muertos is a day to immortalize
my loved ones who have passed away. Given this sentiment, the idea of it
becoming "obsolete" doesn't make sense to me. Also, I'm certain you don't
mean it this way, but I feel like it even borders on judgmental, like it
brushes off that sentiment and the immortality of the event itself. I would
suggest language that asks how DÃa de los Muertos might be reimagined in a
futurist framework. Does that make sense?
Thank you,
Vicky

Replying privately with an argument is in some ways more aggressive
than replying on the list. It can make people feel cornered, makes it
harder for them to call for backup, and can potentially enable
triangulation gaslighting. Please ask for explicit permission from
people before starting private email arguments.

Speaking from an identity position is not the same as "I speak for
everybody who shares my identity." Missing a subtle but important
distinction like that and then haranguing somebody else over it, is
the hallmark of a well-played troll. You've been warned several times
on this list for creepy racist behavior. Please end it once and for
all. Thank you.
Last night Kevin mentioned that the Sudo Room is expected to have at least
three of its members participating in Omni Workgroups. Are we satisfying
that requirement? I know Ben is in the permits/construction workgroup. And
I think Yar is a part of the recently created scheduling workgroup. Is
there anyone else? If not, is anyone willing to step up?
Part two is tomorrow. Same time, same place, piles to sort, shelving to move.Â

Hey all
I saved a whole bunch of the chili from the event last night for ppl to eat
- it's in the fridge - PLEASE GRUB it with with wild abandon -
The ziplocks are veggie chili, the plastic bins have meat chili -
Any not eaten today, must be put into the freezer TONIGHT, or thrown out.
Seriously..
So hork it yo!
David
I noticed last night that one of the fridges upstairs is making louder noises, sounds problematic. I think it's the fan.
Does anyone know about refrigerators?

Hello fellow (and future?) Board of Responsibility and Little Power
members,
In case you missed it, we're planning a meeting that will happen within the
next week. It should be delicious (potluck style). Please RSVP with your
preferred time slots here: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/sudofivezero1c3/
Here are things that need to be discussed/done:
*We need to create an action plan and deadline to complete our 501(c)(3)
application.
*Since our 501(c)(3) form has not been completed, we need to fill out state
form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year
(2013).
*We need to find a new Treasurer to replace Max.
*We may want to discuss refreshing the Board with a new set of members.
*We need to update the Board page on the wiki:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board
I've started a planning document with these items and space for meeting
notes, here: <https://pad.riseup.net/p/2014sudoboard>. Please add anything
you think is missing.
Below is a message from Matt S. with more details and relevant documents
attached.
Cya,
Vicky

Subject: [sudo-board] Submitting Tax Information to State of California by
Nov 7
To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org>, Board of Responsiblity
and Little Power <board(a)lists.sudoroom.org>
We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board,
notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3
application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to
levy state taxes for last year, 2013.
I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is
incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached:
"state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf"
which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields.
We need a few things:
1. Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!)
2. Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability
3. See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly
4. *Submit before Friday November 7* (30 days from October 9, 2014)
"Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100
with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax
assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the
additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon
written request."
