Agreed, the board definitely needs to start scheduling its next
meeting now. The last one was November 2013 iirc.
This is so RAD. Bravo.

it has a serial port. we are going to need to RTFM a bit to learn how to
actually control it, for example from a program on a real computer.
it can move much faster than we are able to steer it with the control
pendant. But for now it moves pretty slow, even on "fast" mode.
here are all the PDFs i have found so far. I believe there is enough
information in here to be able to communicate with the thing over the
serial port. If you want any help actually connecting serial to it,
please let me know.
I would like to plug it into a serial port on the 3d printing computer,
and then people will be able to talk to the robot from their laptop using
socat or whatever program they run on that computer. Let me know if
you're interested in doing that. But first read the manuals, and put
whatever you find on the wiki page so the rest of us know where to start.

Hello Sudo,
I want to make it clear that eventually - not right now - I want to find a
replacement for myself as Sudo Treasurer.
*Responsibilities*
The things the Treasurer has to do are:
(i)be responsible for filing yearly taxes,
(ii) deposit misc. funds into the bank account
(iii) give out misc money that sudo room approves
(iv) report to sudo room the state of finances.
*Fundraising*
Additionally, since Sudo Room is once again receiving less income each
month than expenditure, a good Treasurer would have some fundraising ideas,
and/or want to execute other's ideas.
My reason for leaving is to clear up space in my life for a career change -
not because the job is terribly dramatic, difficult or involved. (Post
Burning Man mental spring cleaning :) )
Thanks for listening,
Max Klein

Hi sudo!
October 2nd at The Folsom Street Foundry in San Francisco: twenty
of SF's leading tech orgs (GoPro, Twilio, Homejoy, 2k, Indiegogo,
Intel, etc) are attending to meet and network with passionate
technologists. Based on your Git profile, we'd be thrilled to
offer you a complimentary VIP ticket ($50 value).
This is a discreet and private event. Invitations are being doled
out prudently. Lots of networking and career ops will be present.
Purely exploratory.
Here is the special link with more info (use promo code GIT-LD for
your free ticket): http://goo.gl/8FvVr7
Please do not share this info with anyone. If you would like to
bring a qualified friend, or if your company is hiring and would
like to attend, I can help with that.
Can you lmk either way?

In two weeks, on September 20th, the omni will host this event:
http://criticalresistance.org/oakland-dreaming-wildly-fighting-to-win-with-…
They are expecting 300+ people, for many of whom this will be their
first time at the omni, and first impressions count a lot!
We'll need a high quality sound system with at least one portable
microphone ready for this. Ideally it will be something durable,
failsafe and easy to use.
Who's willing to work with me to make this happen? Please reply here
or contact me privately. I am no expert but will work hard alongside
you. I would like to meet within the next few days to plan logistics,
and have the system fully set up and ready for testing by next Monday
the 15th. Thanks!

Those are staying, but there's some bookshelves in the basement which
we may part with. They used to live inside Broadway Sudoroom but are
about 6 inches too tall for this basement, so they've been lying
sideways for a couple months. Comes with cool DIY shelves that we cut
from old doors.
No assumptions about your intentions of course! Just FYI :)
Up for one week's 'extended pondering' [1], will shortly set new member
proposals to automatically forward to the sudo list :)

Hi all!
Thanks to everyone who attended this week's meeting!
Here's the tl;dr:
* We've been adding on average two new members a week! Yay!
* Next Wednesday, 7pm, the Omni is having a facilitation workshop. Ping me
if you'd like to RSVP.
* Ed is hosting Friday night Linux installfests! Come learn you computer!
omni needs a lot more construction help
** bathroom renovation, chairlift, drywall patching, ceiling tiles
** join omni-building google group:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/omni-building
* [consensus]: "Sudoroom will consent to Rise Above renting space at the
omni for $1000/month for a 6 month trial lease term, once the location and
any building modifications and permits are clarified and once the meaning
of tenancy is clarified by the Omni's legal/governance working group. We
don't object to them being a tenant in a general sense."
* [CONSENSUS]: Sudo Room consented to the Omni spending up to $9500 for
making the building ADA compliant and accessible ASAP.
* [CONFLICT]: "The Sudoroom community feels compassion towards Sally and
wishes her the best, but we cannot trust her to respect the Omni's common
space right now, so we must find her in bad standing as a member. She is
not welcome at Sudoroom for a period of one month." "We find Sally in bad
standing as a member and with heavy hearts, we suspend her access rights
for one month, because she consistently uses the common areas
inappropriately and has been warned many times."
