I’m happy to help set and track goals. Did you see the other thread about a new membership process? I would say Sudoroom's #1 problem is the broken membership process which leads to very few potential members actually becoming full members. I proposed a new process which I think would lead to more members. But Jenny was the only person to respond to it. https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2018-February/014034.html _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://sudoroom.org/lists/listinfo/sudo-discuss

I’d also like to form a committee to regularly review financial and fundraising situation. Please add that to the agenda as well.

expenses nor plan for any future needs. Any updates on the latest financial status of Sudo Room? Here's a fundraising idea: I run a 501(c)3 public charity and have been raising funds by receiving donations of physical items and re-selling them on ebay through "ebay for charity". It's enough to cover monthly expenses! I know Sudo receives donations of physical goods on a regular basis - some of which may not be needed. Sudo may also put items up for sale on ebay from time to time, and it is a plus to have "benefits charity" added to the listing.

As soon as Sudo Room is listed as a charitable organization on Ebay for Charity I have several unused items I can sell and donate a percentage of the proceeds to Sudo Room.

Robb, I attached a copy of the IRS letter of determination showing Sudo Room received 501(c)3 exemption in February 2016. This letter would be sufficient to obtain public charity listings on guidestar, ebay for charity, etc. On Tue, Sep 4, 2018 at 11:46 AM robb &lt;sf99er(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Correct, there has been a change where sudo room is a project of a larger entity, not its own legal entity, so that letter of determination is deprecated. On fundraising, I'd love to revisit the idea of fabricating and selling "sudoino" arduino clones. Jake I agree with your past recommendations RE using the leonardo chipset now that I've messed with them a bit. Could have a basic model and a few different variations, seems to be the way people do it now. I've been paying $10 for the knockoff fullsize ones (3 for micro w/o headers) and kicking myself that I dropped the ball a few years ago.
