hey hol,
i think your point is extremely important. we have an extreme clutter
problem! partially due to our poor documentation, it's unclear when
something is an in-progress project or "hackable stuff that might have a
purpose for someone sometime in the future theoretically maybe." i have a
feeling that most of the stuff in sudo is in the latter category in which
case i'm not sure what to do...

$10 or $15 a month? It seems like we'll have to
make room somehow, which
I think can be accomplished through a combination of rearranging/organizing
our stockpiles, and trying to convince people who want to store their own
projects at sudo room to do it in a locker. I don't think it would be
converting communal space into personal space as much as it would be
acknowledging that communal space is getting clogged up (increasingly -
it's getting hard to move around in there) with projects that are only
being maintained by one or two people or not at all.
Also, I would like to bring back up the notion of opening up projects and
advertising/communicating the work that needs to be done, like for example
if 3 different projects need a similar power supply, we could agree on the
specs and open that part of the project to be done separately. I know when
I talk about "projects" I focus on hardware projects, but that's just
because they take up the most physical space. I keep meaning to come up
with a format for sharing subsystem info and inviting people with relevant
skills to participate in its development but so far it's all been talk on
my end. If we share more projects and have a system for doing it, and for
organizing our space around truly active projects, I really think it would
incentivize completing (and documenting!) projects and it would attract
people to come meet up at sudo room. From my limited observations at
microcontroller hack night, most of the turnout is related to specific
projects that people hear about and show up
already having some background. We can move toward a more interactive
environment my making sure the things out in the common space are open and
active.

Lockers are acquired! There are 5 units with 2 lockers each. Each of
these 10 lockers has a small square shelf and a
tall L-shaped shelf.
It turns out these don't need built-in locks, they just have loops to
put a padlock through. So folks should probably acquire their own
padlocks.
How much should we charge for them? I was thinking we could charge a
flat rate per locker, and we can share them for discount rates. Who'd
like to share with me? :)
The ad asked for $50 but the guy dropped it to 40 when he learned what
they are for. Instead of reimbursing me, I'll just let it go towards
my locker tab.
Although membership is of course sliding scale, we should make it
clear that locker dues aren't meant to be a substitute for member dues
or a new form of special membership. It's just another fundraiser.
So everybody pay up, help us cut down on clutter, and enjoy your new
lockers!
