Hi Wolfy,
Yes, that would be a big improvement, and we can put it on next week's
agenda I think, since I won't be at the meeting.

A semi-temp solution would be to run 2 10-gague
extension cords to the
center table. This would be MORE than enough to handle some large
power throughput.

Hi Steve,
That's a good point, but I don't know if we can afford anything like
that. We could use temporary and easy solutions like extension cords that
get unplugged after use. If someone could help us out professionally, it
would be a good all around kind of thing.
In the meantime, I think it would be smart if we dealt with the following:
1. Make-shift cables and stuff hanging around the space with exposed
caps(Copper-oxide, dust, moisture and things like beading can cause a
fault-arc on our , untreated, *wood floor* or other fuel).
2. Ground everything out. Not only will we get 'dirty' signal,
without grounding we will have an increased risk of fire for a couple of
reasons(i think arcing is #1).
3. Separate food, water, chemicals and other products from
electronics.
4. Only use extension cords temporarily.
5. Read the ratings on our power-strips to see if they can handle the
load we are using.
6. Avoid plugging high-drain devices into power-strips that don't
meet the recommended load.
Secondary considerations for changing our behavior include:
1. Tripping over wires, which can hurt humans and gear
2. Potential for electrocution
3. Aesthetically unpleasing
4. Gets in the way of work
I'm willing to donate $100 extra to the space for a proper
power-conditioner, and to help ground things out, but these are the things
I could think of that would imply liability on our part as a group.
*These are just suggestions, but I think they are good ones. *

Do we have access to the electrical panel? Are
there empty breaker
spaces in it? It isn't too hard to run conduit on the walls with outlet
boxes, and then have a licensed electrician come and hook up the end to the
breaker panel.

Hello Fellow Sudo People,
This is a good article about why we shouldn't daisy-chain things in the
space. Any suggestions on a work-around is appreciated. I am offering to
help hack this problem.
