We have installed some switches on one of the three

Yes! We have a surplus of two switch racks.
Please feel free to provide ideas on what should we do with them, so far we
have the following ideas:
a) Jeremy suggested that we should sell them, we can use the cash.
b) I suggest that we keep one so we can install the spare switches and
provide a managed switch resset/configuration workshop. And for the second
one, I suggest, we offer it as a donation to other hacker space as a symbol
of solidarity and sisterhood.
Just to be clear - were these racks donated to Sudoroom or Sudo Mesh?
If the latter, I'm ok with whatever that group decides.
If the former, I would advocate for keeping them all. I think rather
than selling the rack, we could potentially make more money renting
space for colo servers to people in our community. Definitely more a
long-term than short-term goal, but I don't think we should start
selling off awesome infrastructure when we're just getting started in
our huge new space!
If we were to share with a sister hackerspace, is there one in
particular that wants it?
