Here's a thread from noisebridge with a photo project I usually sit next to over there... I called it the early days of noisebridge!
I enjoyed the sudoroom party and think the first year event reminded me of the early days of noisebridge !
Very bright and optimistic. It's good everyone is keeping things going ::

>> >From my perspective the space was not sterile-feeling a year or two ago, but there was maybe more struggle to keep it clean and keep the floors clear. Increased foot traffic from people coming in and out has, I think, made that harder to maintain, though having more people is a good problem to have. The space needs to be swept and mopped every day, at least an hour's job for two people. People used to do regular loads of laundry to wash the dishtowels and rags for cleanup. Accepting lots of donations without picking through them first means we have quite a lot of trash and e-waste and giant pieces of wood and so on to haul away.

>> Some of this basic work to maintain the space needs money: to buy cleaning supplies, do loads of laundry, rent trucks and pay fees to the dump. We may have people willing to clean but who don't have the resources. Or, people may not actually know how to mop a floor. That seems possible.

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 …
[View More]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
…
[View More]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(…
[View More]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.
