I dont like regimentation probably more than the next person, however I see a need to be a bit more methodical in our organizing of activities so thst we can become more accountable to one another.
I see this as helping to build bonds without stressing as a lot of the logistics work can be done if we follow this format:

Transparency is one of our principles, so we should utilize it for its positive uses and become commited / accountable to one another as we work together and share space, time, and resources.
I think this should go to the list in a truncated form asking people what they think of the idea.
Yes I will work on making a wiki out of this,,,

Hello Sudo-folk,
I'm looking for someone who can help out a small school set up and install
Moodle. Is this you?
Cheers,
Anca.

I talked about this a bit at last week's meeting. I am putting together
a music show featuring Sole, Pat the Bunny, 40 Thieves/Eddie Falcon, and
The Last Barfighter. Sole and Pat are coming in for a couple days in
Denver and they asked me to try to find a venue . They preferred not to
have it at a traditional venue (bar), they want it to be all-ages, able
to have at least 100 people.
Elliot from the Hot Mess is working on this with me. We were going to
have this at the RCA, but they are not …
[View More]trying to have any events there
now. Elliot says he talked to somebody from Sudo, and now our priority
is to be able to confirm a date.
At the meeting, you told me to email your landlord. I can do this, but I
feel like it might be better if it came from someone who has a
relationship with the landlord. We can have a small crew available for
ticketing, emcee, security (if needed), cleanup.
Here is a summary of what is being planned for:
Music show from 8pm to no later than midnight (likely 11pm) with four
artists (two local).
$5-10 tickets (no one turned away for lack of funds)
All ages
BYOB
Expecting about 100 for audience.
It would be great if someone could ask your landlord about this.. I can
compose a letter or your can. Or if you think it would be OK, I can
email a letter myself, but I would need the contact information.
Thank you, I hope this works out. Please email me with any questions,
comments, concerns.

The city council is voting tomorrow on the Domain Awareness Center.
There will be a protest at Oscar Grant Plaza at 6:30 pm. There are strong arguments to wear a mask:
1) A protest is intended to show support or opposition to an idea. It's not about the individual, just the message.
2) A mask may prevent you from getting fired from your job: http://pastebin.com/MMSaL5Pc
3) A mask may suggest to the city council that if they continue with this center that wearing a mask will become a style (…
[View More]in a similar manner as sunglasses) in Oakland and therefore only further complicate law enforcement.
In other words......... I hope I don't see you there tomorrow.

...I feel really awkward proposing this, but lately it seems like the thing
to do with some of the newcomers goes something like this-
1. Get loaded somewhere else
2. Head to Sudo
3. ???
4. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! (and/or pass out, depending)
As someone who used to do this on a nightly basis, I kind of get it but
even in my finer moments I don't think I would have shown up at a space
where people were trying to work and expected a warm reception. And, as
someone who has chosen to embrace …
[View More]sobriety I have no quarrel with people
who haven't, but since I haven't really developed the patience required to
deal with drunk folks yet I tend to retreat or act somewhat distant towards
them. Sometimes this results in them chasing me around the space because
they want to "hang out," especially if I'm working on music stuff...that's
okay if they can do so in a non-disruptive manner, but I'm kind of screwed
if they can't so I'm more or less forced to deal with them or (sacre bleu!)
leave Sudo to try to get shit done.
What I am NOT proposing is making Sudo a sober space. If it comes to that,
sure, but as a first measure I think it's heavy handed and doesn't really
serve the interests of the community that can have a couple of beers and
function equally well as without. I think what I am asking is that we, as a
group, need to send the message that Sudo is not the afterparty, and that
if it continues to be treated like one that the individuals involved will
be asked to leave for the night. I think being somewhat forgiving in this
situation is probably not a bad idea...and of course, repeated behavior of
this sort will probably be brought up in a meeting (i.e. is having *****
around worth it?) and appropriate action will be taken.
Needless to say, Sudo/BAPS events would be more or less exempt since the
actual drinking will be taking place here and any situations that arise
from said drinking will be dealt with as needed.
I would like to hear what everyone has to say about this.

As an iPhone user, I'm pretty screwed no matter what. Need to talk to

don't use it, registrars don't accommodate it, and if you try to use it
you're in for a headache.

etc;
*Best cryptoparty yet! Folks came with specific questions; paired off
