Hey Sudoers,
I'd like to submit a proposal in advance of a meeting next *Wednesday,
January 11th at 8 PM:*
*The proposal: *I propose we organize working groups for membership,
facilities, finances, promotion, and general administration.
*The goals:* I think we should focus in 2023 on bringing in new people.
Hosting more events. Finding new sources of revenue like grants. Organizing
the tools, repairing the roof, and installing a mezzanine. I think all of
these would be more attainable if we had a bit of structure that makes it
easier for new people -- and old! -- to find similarly minded collaborators
and organize and communicate to do these things collaboratively.
*The details: *I see three elements to this proposal, which I'm listing to
make it easier to offer suggestions or alterations:
*1)* I think we should define a set of core functions which require
coordination: membership, facilities, finances, promotion, and
administration (miscellaneous general operation).
*2)* I think we should promote coordination by establishing working groups,
primarily consisting of an email list and a wiki page, but with broad
leeway in how each group wants to organize and communicate. The facilities
working group could decide to set up a Discord channel. The building group
could choose to have regular in person meetings. The admin group could
operate mostly on Signal. These don't have to be dictated in this proposal,
as long as everyone knows how to get in touch with these working groups.
*3)* I propose that participation and role assignment be presumed open, but
managed by the groups themselves. I am actively choosing not to propose
that they groups have a leader or a minimum number of participants, or a
qualification to join. As proposed, I imagine anyone who likes fixing 3D
printers when they clog can sign up for the facilities working group and
now they're an equal member to everyone else. But if the membership working
group is just one person answering new member questions, that's fine. The
finance group and promotion group will presumably set guidelines on who has
login credentials for accounts. Under this proposal, anyone can join any
group and no member of a group has elevated privileges unless they
establish them by consensus separate from this proposal.
What do you all think? Would you like to join any of these groups? I'd like
to get lots of feedback and then discuss this next Wednesday to incorporate
the feedback received over email.
Cheers,
Andy

Ya Thomas, I'd be up for vending from the machine with a special code
instead of coins. But I still have a long way to go to get to know it.

I found someone's project on the laser cutter computer and moved it to the
main table. Let's all remember to leave spaces in a usable state when we
finish working. Thanks!

Does anyone know the latest on the sewing room in the multimedia lab or
whom to contact? Our current wiki is about 5 years old, I'd like to update
it so that we can promote it on the front page more

I'd like to put something more fresh on the front page as a video. While
there is stuff on instagram, it's a PITA to download it (or is it?)
I think we can even make simple videos off screenshots, but stuff like the
robot arm moving is pretty nice.
If you have anything could you please email me or put it in a common
folder? I'll make effort to do this as well. I'd like to get our activities
off being only on social media...

At this point I'm relying entirely on the wiki for anything tracking what projects go on.
While it's nice to have slack, email or discord, I cannot work with those mediums to get anything done, they just seem more focused around chatting and holding cool meetings instead of developing ideas to me.

^^^ this list is old and crusty. I know some people have been making art with the laser cutting machine and the multi media lab. Are there any other contributions?

the above message came in to info(a)sudoroom.org with a picture of the exact
same laser cutter as we have, Model No. SH-G570

Hi,
Looking for a laser cutter technician for a friend. He has a laser
cutter and it isn't working. Can't even pulse the laser or communicate with
the computer to upload the design. Do you have someone I can hire?
Below are pictures of the laser cutter.
Cheers,
Haley Zhao
