Sorry for the typos - I'm sure you can grok my general sentiment. Xo

I don't think this is something that can be

workable structure which is one of the most difficult challenges of trying
to build alternatives to existing systems. We're hardwired, within this
system to believe that having the right set of systems or guild lines or
processes or rules or principles in place will shape up the ship but the
reality is: the playing field isn't level, we don't all speak the same
language, we don't al sharenthe same experiences, we don't all have the
same values or priorities or needs.
And so, we must start from of a place of, " How can I learn?", "What can
I
do?", and really work with others on a very personal level. Rules and
guidelines are all well and good and valuable but nothingness can replace
trust and love and those things take time to build.
So I urge you to maintain your enthusiasm and to throw your shoulder to
the wheel, metaphorically speaking, and to know you're entering into a
powerful and loving community that needs all hands on the actual deck more
than they need more brilliant ideas.
I'm glad you're here and I'm not around much myself these days but please
know this is not a message intended to discourage you - we're building a
new world and we need you and all of the help we can get!

I’m absolutely open to that as well. Seems like
committees work..
It's totally possible. You just have to figure out specific jobs to be
done, and specific people with the skills and capacity to do them.
Which requires being familiar with both.
I personally think Sudoroom should run a census of all the people who
use the space. This could include a catalog of what people need, what
people have to offer. It could also include things like diversity
statistics, which is something we've always been bad at keeping track
of.
Out of curiosity, I thought I'd run these commands on sudoroom.org:
$ sudo grep -c 'sudoroom should'
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sudo-discuss.mbox/sudo-discuss.mbox

$ sudo grep -c 'sudoroom needs'
/var/lib/mailman/archives/private/sudo-discuss.mbox/sudo-discuss.mbox
