Re: [sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

Hi All, I really appreciate the nomination but will unfortunately have to decline, I love Sudo room and will continue to help wherever I can but I'm getting close to maximum bandwidth with all of the awesome biohacker and biotech projects (many of which Sudo inspired). I would however, love to still keep the biohacker connection going at Sudo room and I'd be happy to help with connecting us (Sudo) to the broader Biohacker community (including Counter Culture Labs which I'm now a board member of). I love the idea of a developing Sudo culture and looking forward to further lively debates and membership :) To all our fellow Sudo'ers, Live long and Prosper! R Anthony Di Franco <di.franco(a)gmail.com> October 29, 2013 at 5:37 PM With all those points in mind, I hope that the strength and benevolence of the people who lead and the community that develops around them is more of the empathetic, pluralistic, pragmatic kind and less of the stubborn, nitpicky, dogmatic kind. _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss Anca Mosoiu <anca(a)techliminal.com> October 29, 2013 at 5:14 PM 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.

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. --Naomi Eddan Katz <eddan(a)clear.net> October 28, 2013 at 2:30 PM So by my count, the following summarizes the status of the Board nominations. Please correct any errors I've made. -- *Confirmed* Max (notconfusing) Jenny (tunabananas) *Nominated* Marc (marcjc) Matt (mattsenate) Marina (mk30) J.C. (r33lmm) Vicky (ykciv) Liberty (thattechgirl) *Respectfully Decline* Kare (kkr) Jordan (yardena) ------ 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 _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> October 27, 2013 at 7:32 PM On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 1:55 PM, Eddan Katz <eddank(a)gmail.com> wrote: 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].
