Oh, I was the one who donated the admittedly unlabeled lidded-stockpot
to NB, specifically to brew kombucha there. For the one person who
already responded with their "invitation" offlist, I neither prefer to
come over to SR to join the groups'
mate/kombucha/whatever-other-foodhacking-else brewing efforts there
(whether for-profit or entirely non-profit), nor do I wish to pay a
special SR visit in-person to pickup the lidded-stockpot. Much better
for the SR person(s) to bring the item back to NB.
Reason of personal preference, but thanks for your "invite" :-)
(If lidded-stockpot not returned to NB PDQ, then fully able to and
willing to revert to my own DIY brewing efforts completely separate
from SR's group efforts +AND+ from NB, invitation or not, so no great
loss to me either way!)
TY again,

I created a new sudoroom Food hacking wiki page
I'm including starting points such as Max's Club Mate Idea
I have a sodastream that can create carbonated water and I'm all for
creating non-branded, non wasteful, healthier versions of soda and "energy
drinks"... we can make soda the old fashioned way and even better, without
high fructose corn syrup and "energy creating" petrochemicals...

Hello Fellow Sudoers!
Sounds like I missed some meal last Wednesday. :)
>From the thread it sounds like folks might be more interested in pot lucks
for Wednesday night meetings. I have no problem with that and would like to
offer some fresh strawberry ice coconut cream (yes, vegan!) for tonight.
Julio and I made this just sweet enough deliciousness to celebrate the
return of longer days & warm weather.
Sudo kitchen also has some raw ingredients which i will detail in another
post a little later (this cafe has no wifi (how uncivilized)) so i am
sipping a spotty connection from who knows where.
Hack ur kitchens!
Cheers,
Ray
A friend saw a flier for this ISP that provides very fast internet
http://subvolo.com/index.html
I don't know much about them, but it may help sudoroom scale in the
long-term.
Hopefully, others have stronger opinions than mine.
This source is a little corporate-sounding at first but well-written. I
think they discuss a chamber of commerce non-profit in an unnamed city.
Does anyone find this useful? I relate to many of the topics.

As I indicated in Leaders Working Together, "The cornerstone assumption
remains: Collaboration does not mean we all have to agree, but we do have
to maintain mutual understanding." Having a process in place to deal with
inevitable conflict goes a long way in assisting a board in reaching that
mutual understanding and preventing destructive conflict. CPR is such a
process. And, while I've seen the process work effectively, one of the
first things a board must realize is that it takes time to move through the
steps and volunteer board members are often resistant to working through a
seemingly lengthy process that may resolve an issue or problem within the
board. In response to an interview question asked during my research, board
members from around the country revealed: "Resolving disputes is a priority
but dispute resolution is not." Hence, board members agreed that disputes
are a part of the decision-making process but, nevertheless, they do not
welcome a formal dispute-resolution process.
Therefore, when I introduce the notion of implementing a process to resolve
a dispute, I ask participants to weigh the alternatives. In other words,
how do they feel about carrying the weight of a chronic problem through
every decision-making exercise as compared to taking a little time away
from the regular agenda to resolve the issue thereby pulling that
particular weight from the board's shoulders? Generally, participants agree
that it makes sense to resolve the issue and they also discover that
collaborative problem resolution is designed as a simplified model with
volunteer boards in mind and is well worth the time it takes. Imagine how
far ahead the chamber would be in terms of time and money if they had taken
a few hours to step back and resolve the real problem at the root of its
conflict.
so, who's up for a heavy metal pantomine dance group of the articles of
awesomeness?
if there is a board of sudo directors present, you certainly don't want the
board to be bored!

I reached out to Michael Orange from Top 10 social in downtown Oakland.
Their events are parties, have more up and coming young African American
professionals, and are all around of a different, highly complementary vibe
to SudoRoom.
Top 10 social has held a lot of great art benefits--gallery benefits for
the family of youth murdered in Chicago (that one made me cry!), a Game
Changers project for filmmakers working on microdocumentaries.They also
sponsor talks on food justice and bringing healthier options to the
African-American community in Oakland and other urban areas.
- I'm talking to Michael Orange to see what projects would make sense for
Top 10 social and Sudo Room. I've known him for a couple of years, he's a
great guy.
- I threw around a few ideas that were brought up by various community
groups and Sudo Room Members -- sudo room people helping community
workshops fixing senior citizens' computers, bike fixing workshops, etc.
- I'm waiting for Michael to reply--if they have space for us I think it
would be a nice complement to SudoRoom! They are great folks, and I like
how they are differnet from us. They dress up a lot nicer than we do,so
they could be the yang to our yin or vice versa.
