* Ardueen
** Introduction: My name is (ardueen). I was born in North Carolina in 1980. I was most interested in french and language studies. After which I got a boring job in washington d.c. which I eschewed for becoming a fun-employed electornics / programmer. Recently graduated from the first cyberwizard.
** Was at the Impact Hub for some sort of visioning event. My vision was to have a space. A hackerspace. Where creating value is more the motivation than capital. Several people then mentioned sudo room.
** What do you think of sudo room's values: Having eschewed government employment I compare that to sudo room's devaluation of e.g. the military and hierarchy in favor of sharing instead of capital. I also see that there's a sharing culture with a value of responsibility. I am sitting here because I want to contribute. I want to take on responsibilities.
** Why do you want to be a sudo room member: At the moment I'm benefitting from people who are willing to share their information. By becoming a member it would formalize that it is a reciprocal relationship.
** WHat do you want to do at sudo room: I want to build robots and I want to teach other people. I bring some experience from a place I was called Nova Labs (not a hackerspace as such, but had a lot of open appeal). I have a bunch of connections to a few hundred people working on awesome stuff like rocketry and geeked out 3d printers. Leverage existing tools to build new ones. I feel like that ties into abolishing white supremacy because you can leverage existing toos (note-taker is failing at summarizing).
** What's your plan to abolish sexual violence, police brutality and white supremacy? in 10 words or less <-- yar is trolling us from afar this is a great question but I don't think it belongs officially in the interview questions.
** Who do you know from sudo room and how long have you been spending time here? marina, substack, max (notconfusing) have become valueable points of contacts and I hope friends.
** thanks!
** Have you ever been banned from a hackerspace or other collective: No.
** I am an agent only of my own. I am a self-employed Aheri, and I am the only one.
** Are you an undercover cat: (makes red dwarf reference).
** Could read captcha. Not robot.

* Rachel
** Introduction: Hello. I am Rachel. I teach yoga in the disco room. We're an independent (non-member) collective.
** How did you hear about sudo room: I was and am still working on something called Peer Library. Through someone there I met Matt, Noemie and Jenny. Started working on the CCL EEG machine a bit but then gave up on it. Started coming in to hang in the Omni. I also do things on the computer but don't know if I can offer more skills than existing members.
** Why do you want to be a member: I use the equipment here and have friends who are members. It would make sense to pay $10 bucks a month.
** What do you want to hack or learn at sudo room: I don't want to take up anyones time to teach any particular skill. I want to use equipment and hang out here and learn things about interacting with humans.
** What do you want to share with or teach at sudo: Anything I know that you want to know. Jury rigging things? I probably won't do things without teaching people how to do them. I brought a guitar and it's over there.
** Values: I know that sudo room has many values that I can put isms on. I see how things are handled here day to day and that people have each others back.
** Ryan reads the sudo room values aloud.
** Ever been banned: no.
** Who do you know, if anyone: Knows Ryan, Matt, Nico. I know Rayc.
** Are you a cop, undercover cop or agent: No
** Are you a cat: mew
** Are you an undercover cat: no
** Passed the captcha.
