Apparently, the average size of a non-profit board is 16 people, and the median is 15.
I don't know anyone's handle, but I also wanted to nominate the following people
who have also shown the commitment that I think would make for a good Sudo Board member:
Ryan Bethencourt
Anthony di Franco
Johanna Faust
Hol Gaskill
Leonid Kozukh
Anca Mosoiu
Naomi Most
Romy Snowyla

I don't think that coming to evening meetings and weekend events should be the
ultimate metric of commitment to Sudo Room.
Not everyone can make it at those times because of work and family obligations.
Agreed, thanks for picking up on that and giving an opening to describing all the ways in
which people regularly show their commitment to Sudo Room: There's also building
infrastructure in the space, creating/making awesome things, giving tours, managing the
landlord situation, managing the trash (thanks david k!), leading
classes/workshops/meetups, CLEANING and BEAUTIFYING the space [the move to colorful
late-night mood lighting the other week was especially clutch].

Sudo Room should not sacrifice its foundational
values so as to be taken seriously by traditional power structures. This is part and
parcel of being a vessel of social change. Noisebridge has an ad hoc and ever-changing
do-ocracy of leaders, as does Sudo. The inscription of a Board merely makes static what is
in actuality a dynamic aspect of the community, hence its role (in the vein of honesty and
radical transparency) is as merely an on-paper minimum satisfactory requirement for
bureaucratic processes. Come to any meeting of Noisebridge or Sudo and it will be readily
apparent who's currently taking on leadership roles.
