Hey Troy! Thanks for the poke!

tl;dr: Fill out your wiki userpage with current projects and contact info! Help with the membership registry (PHP) and/or mycelia (node)!

ABOUT THE DATA

a) I don't want everyone at sudo room to be able to call or text me. Fairly certain I'm not alone in this. If you ask for my number and I give it to you, we've just created trust through consent. Would like to promote a case-by-case approach to providing sensitive information, and not store it ourselves. This is why, when I asked for up-to-date membership information, I only asked for an email and a name/nym.

b) I think we should encourage people to fill out their user pages on the wiki, and include there things like projects, contact info, and public keys. We sent out a template for user pages long ago, can't remember who put it together (Marina, I think?). Here are some examples of nice user pages:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Juul
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Tunabananas
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Mk30
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Maximilianklein

ABOUT THE MEMBER REGISTRY / SELTZERCRM

I'm running the nascent member registry at http://mycelia.cc/crm, the code for which is here if anyone wants to look and see if they can build something on top of this. It's PHP. I did a decent bit of research and this was the most viable FOSS membership registry system I could find. Soon will port it over to sudoroom.org and push to Github (hopefully tomorrow). I've been asking for help at the meetings as it would be great to have more people who want to work on this, but it needs to happen so I'm not waiting around for a team to form.


ABOUT MYCELIA
The goal of Mycelia is to create a decentralized database for documenting projects, people (skills) and objects between hackerspaces and also matchmaking between them. Pub/sub [publish / subscribe] model encouraging folks to have concrete projects about which they publish updates, or otherwise be a subscriber consuming the updates of others :)

Unfortunately, I can't code it myself and Marc's busy with sudomesh and freestore. What's up on Github is essentially Labitrack (the QR-code sticker inventory system we're using at sudo) converted into NodeJS and LevelDB. It's definitely a priority project, but not #1 right now. CC'ing substack in case he's interested in this project.

Cheers,

Jenny

There is a stillborn and defunct project on gitorious called sudosuite that may serve as a point of organization.

It seems to me that a happy medium should be found between starting from scratch and using something out of the box, and that that medium is close to out-of-the-box-remix. Details very hazy.

just from browsing through their site it doesn't look like what I'm envisioning.  the work involved in setting up the database and the frontend shouldn't  be much.  i've done it a number of times, but that was along time ago and try not to puke but it was in visual basic 6.  that being said, all of it would've failed promptly upon sql injection.  marc was working on something called mycelia for tracking projects and finding people with matching skillsets, etc.  haven't heard any news from that end.  this has been a persistent need for sudo room since the beginning though - if it requires significant in-house tinkering i am not dissuaded

Any chance of using something like civicrm as a starting point? I've set that up a couple times (but am far from expert). there are a number of good reasons not to reinvent the wheel, among them is having a reliable system for keeping any sensitive data restricted to a trusted group.

I'd be into helping set up a database to store this info, especially where it comes to tracking projects so new people can browse through more interactively than just reading down a page of text on the wiki.  has anyone done some basic frontend to a SQL database that we can copypasta?
