Good points, Naomi.
This ties into the paper that Jenny posted recently as well. Strong,
benevolent personalities are going to be needed to keep things moving
forward just as much as stubborn, nitpicky, careful readers of contracts.

Hi guys,
I haven't exactly been an active participant in Sudo Room lately, but
I have room in my life to handle some small amount of responsibility.
I'll accept the nomination.
I should say, though, that I've had a lot (a LOT) of conversations
with hackerspace founders lately, and I'm coming to the conclusion
that it is only the very exceptional community, with a very dedicated
presence of strong benevolent personalities, that doesn't eventually
come apart at the seams.
Noisebridge should not be held as a model of do-ocratic / flat
structure. It has serious, serious problems.

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

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 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].
BTW, our Wishlist has recently been updated in case folks want to
contribute
