At the meeting last night, did some vision sharing:

*** Vision: share what we're going for individually, and as individual groups (15 min)
**** Marc: Interface between low-tech bio projects of sudo (eg fermentation, beer brewing) and the high-tech bio stuff happening at CCL
**** Cere: Excited about kitchen (but also concerned)
**** Regeneration, genetic engineering
**** Patrik: Bio-art, bioprinter group (3D printing using biological materials)
**** P: Combatting anti-GMO sentiments by democratizing science 
**** Ahnon: Excited to have a stage for big speakers
**** Mary: Gathering data, soil analysis, many ways to engage community & science; hands-on learning
**** Matt: Investigating bamboo-engineering ^.^ to colonize venus?? www.futempro.org
**** Ben: To make it sustainable
**** Themes:
***** Kitchen, sharing, converging, (legal issues?)
***** Democratizing the practice of science (citizen science), to the public.
***** Data-gathering is at the center of environmental and health justice. 
***** Creativity, cross-pollination
***** Space (outer space)
***** Make biology open source.
***** Sustainable (stay open)
*** Sudo visions
**** Matt: we'll see. choosing your neighbors!
**** Jenny: low & hi tech bio collaborating; spark the imagination; federated modular themed areas; enable divers activities; rooftop garden!
***** patrick there will be many sinks
***** dk: there's still the basement
**** jake: infrastructure for electronic stuff, pcb robots, microcontroller programming, code
***** patrick mentions biocurious lab automation group - like a large pick&place robot that can handle liquids
***** mary: hacking old equipment, turn cheap stuff into fancy stuff
**** dk: it'll be like BAPS + Sudo awesomeness
**** phil: very diverse, lots of different tinkering, start slow, incredibly varied. anything from textiles, graphic arts, rewriting kernels, building new electronics, anything and everything. seen evolve into group projects, small business (cooperatives), would like to see those things continue. Does that work if you need to get badged and credentialed? Would like to see more sudo-kind of tinkering to get exposed to the lab opportunity
**** yar: important thing about hackerspaces is that they're free and open - can go an converse, learn something new, 24/7 availability for community, education, projects, solo work / art. emphasis on the public / community aspect. out of the synergy between the two, we get more dimensions, can design a new kind of public space. + 
**** daniel: appreciates the diversity of these groups trying to work / live together; providing support for the rest of the community
**** steve: How to make things work coming from a smaller perspective. Backlog of projects waiting to try (fingerprints, tradescantia ohiensis as bioassay, etc), interface with the community, opportunity to replace the things that are not being done right now, the things that could be done.
**** Themes:
***** Kitchen
***** Stations / areas / room for more kinds of creativity
***** Hardware, dust, electronics, coding
***** Open, public, free, open, 24/7, walk in (anyone, any time), part of a global network of spaces
***** Tinkering, mixing styles
***** Varied participation
***** Support for the wider community

Hey all,

What does it mean to have a sudo reboot? What do we see? What do we want to put our energy and effort towards?

We've come a long way. I'd like to start a thread just hearing what folks think about rebooting sudo room.

If you had a chance to re-write sudo room from scratch, what would would you do differently?

We now have something like this chance.

I'm looking forward to having more space. The new sudo space should should have a good system for organizing all the items in the space, both a physical and electronic system. It seems that we may need some better systems for getting people to clean up after themselves in general as well, so I would like to help develop these systems. I'd like to see different areas of sudo space for different types of work, e.g. art hacking, food hacking, electronics hacking, metal/wood hacking, 3D printing, software, etc. and I'd like to see us have someone responsible for keeping each area organized. I'd like for sudo space to have a fridge where drinks and snacks are sold to members at prices comparable to stores in the area, so that income can go to sudo space instead (this is a major source of income in the copenhagen hackerspace). I'm also _really_ looking forward to having separate rooms with closeable doors so different events don't interrupt each-other. I would feel much better about running classes if I can be certain the classes won't be disrupted by other people in the space.

In the new space I think we should take a hard stance against anyone sleeping in the space or using the space as a living room, and do so _now_. Before it becomes a problem. I also want to encourage us to have members who clean the space as their membership fee, and I think we should set up a simple system for tracking these cleanings (could just be a wiki page).
