Hey, Sudoers
there's been a whole lotta talk and excitement about "do-ocracy" and,
occasionally, adhocracy. That's rad!
I'd like to question the notion that "do-ocracy" is the logical end of
collective efforts. In my view, do-ocracy is a great practice and ethic
that is best served embedded in a loaf baked with intention, care, and...
democracy.
To substantiate that, I'd like to share a one-page doc I composed that
situates do-ocracy as a phase between two others, one the early "dream"
state and the other an advanced "democracy" (so-called). While these phases
exist on a gradient and can (and should) organically bleed into one
another, there are important distinctions and caveats.
I hope this sparks some constructive conversation around accountability and
alignment within the group. Really, I do!
warmly,
very warmly,
Danny

Hi!
Replying to you, Eddan, as well as the list, in case anyone else was
confused by this proposal. I was just thinking about the public perception
of hierarchy and ways to minimize that. My distinguishing between LinkedIn
and job applications was to distinguish between publicly- and
privately-communicated content - so an online [public] blog, resume, etc
would fall in the same category as LinkedIn for all intents and purposes.
Just a suggestion, happy to discuss!
Tonight's meeting has morphed enthusiastically into a planning session
for this week's first friday / art murmur. In two days, we'll be at
the intersection of:
* Halloween / Day of the Dead / All Souls
* Sudoroom's first anniversary of moving into our current space
* Filing our corp papers in Sacramento
* Expanding to new spaces & new ventures
So we're going to throw a birthday party for ourselves on Friday
night. We're going to bill it as an Art Murmur afterparty from around
7pm to 2am. It will be advertised as having a fundraiser component
(donation pitches + raffle), but not as a fundraiser. The promotional
materials are being designed right now and we'll have them ready to go
viral by tomorrow morning.
Here are things we need your help with NOW:
* THINGS TO RAFFLE - things and services
* A/V STUFF - we have an awesome DJ lined up but need equipment
* CATERING - food/drink
* your input and ideas for this party and all logistics
* invite all your friends
* wear a great costume

The spam emails all came from:
giovanni-re(a)yandex.com
carefullychipped(a)yandex.com
Neither of these had posted to the list before, and both were banned.
A pattern also became clear after yet another new subscriber showed
up, named:
yardena.cohen(a)yandex.com
Creepy! At that point I just decided to ban everything from
yandex.com, which seems to have stopped the problem. There were no
other subscribers from that domain.
