Hey Everyone,
Just thought I would point this out, since it came up earlier in the dues
thread. But, Marc's point(a very good marketing point about 24/7 access),
has as a big security exception, we didn't really talk about, probably
mostly because of time.
Basically, it's easy for us to think "hey, we should let this person have
access, because they seem cool, and we want to remain open," but even I get
sketched out at night sometimes, and there are real safety issues at work
here, and we …
[View More]should discuss them in relation to cost/benefits for the
space. It's also entirely possible that we trust someone, and they just do
something bad anyway. We don't really spend a lot of time thinking about
this, but this is something we haven't had to really deal with yet, because
we've had really shitty access up until now.
I don't know if my survey asked this question properly, but I was trying to
see if 24/7 access was worth more to people as a value, but I think for
some people it could be a safety draw-back, and at least in 1 case this is
true. I also am not sure it's really something we should be promoting, if
we do decide on it being okay for members to do.
If anyone wants to post about how they feel about this(I think it really is
about feelings in this case, because it's about promoting membership and
establishing wants/needs), then please feel free to reply here.
Thanks,
Rusty

Hello all, last night at the general meeting Marc and I brought up the use of a small fridge at Sudo for use as a reagents storage fridge (bio fridge). 15 folks consented to the use of the fridge to store reagents associated with the propagation of Gonorrhea. THERE WILL BE NO GONORRHEA in the fridge, just the agar plates and broth we need to culture the organism at a later date in our community lab. I just wanted to see if there were any e-objections. If not, I will Devon and start storing …

As a dues-paying member—can/do I automatically have 24/7 access?

Ive been making soups in the crockpot and can continue doing the same. I left miso and greens in the fridge, another stop at Koreana Plaza for rice noodles, oyster mushrooms, green onion, and tofu should do. Feel free to grab other things for a soup too. The trick is to heat up the crockpot with a bit of water or soup base, then use the water boiler above the sink for the boiling. Basically a simple hotspot, nothing needs more than a 10 minutes of hot water to cook.

Thanks so much for all your work Ray!
If anybody else would like to collaborate on food tonight, I'd love to
help! I can contribute time, car, buying ingredients, chopping skills,
and following directions, in exchange for your contribution of
leadership. :) :) :)

This is a great idea!
In the 1990s I used to go to some punk rock feminist women's health talks.
One session had us doing self-examinations using speculums with mirrors.
I'd like to throw that into the "stone soup" of a mix!
http://www.fwhc.org/health/selfcare.htm
- I'm unsure how comfortable most women would be doing self-examinations in
front of men.
- Using speculums and mirrors was very informative! I never realized how
most women are taught to think of their privates as dirty--so much so …
[View More]to
the point that they didn't know how their lady parts worked!

Honestly I'm not comfortable linking access to payment, for a lot of
reasons, but I'll try to outline the most salient thing for me right
now:
* I don't think access means anything if a person can't feel safe here
* I don't feel safe when I'm at the space all alone
* I feel even better when I'm sharing the space with multiple people
who I know and trust
* Our goal should be for the space to be full of known & trusted
people -- if not always, then as much as possible
* It would be silly to turn anybody away at that point
So my goal day in and day out is to look for ways to expand Sudoroom's
web of trust - not just get people to the space, not just facilitate
and encourage them giving money to the space, but helping them feel
happy and comfortable and like they could be a part of a community,
and that coming here will give them a chance to hack awesome things,
work on their projects, get inspired for new projects.
I'm open to solutions in the form of rules and algorithms, but I'm
skeptical of any solutions that seem to close doors (literally &
figuratively) because Sudoroom and hackerspaces in general are so new
and experimental.
The scepter of an untrusted person being alone in the space is
important, but I honestly don't see a good reliable antidote other
than "add more trusted people." Safety in numbers.

Hey Everyone,
I am writing because it was discussed at the meeting tonight that we don't
really have an idea of how much people want to pay for the space ,and also
if people think the current payment approach is good based on some
alternatives that were brought up. I'd also like to ask about basic
productizing to see if people would be interested in using some of our
funds to get t-shirts and stickers, and maybe even decorated key-cards like
hacker conferences do for hotel rooms.
So, can …
[View More]everyone answer these questions(below)? I know it's not perfect
research, but I think it covers most of what came up in the meeting.
Questions:
1. How much would you pay for current membership, with access as
planned?
2. How much would you pay for current membership with 24/7 access to the
space(i.e. new door cards on next payment)?
3. Would you be okay with spending some money on re-branding of the
space(even if it doesn't mean changing our logo), by getting more t-shirts
and stickers?
4. Do you think it would it be more attractive to you to have a lower
fixed price if you were joining the space, and you got 24/7 access at that
moment with a keycard?
5. Would it be more attractive to you if you were joining the space, and
you got a free t-shirt and cool looking keycard upon joining or giving some
sort of donation "gift" like kickstarter projects give?
This is only an attempt to get at some of what we talked about, and I'm
hoping that it will kind of shine some light on the amount of money people
want to pay et all.
Please help out!
