==Top Priorities==
A plan to control spam on the wiki. PRONTO! :) -[[User:Peteforsyth|Peteforsyth]] ([[User talk:Peteforsyth|talk]]) 21:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


==Items==
Most of all, we need [[Gittip|more money]]! We also desperately need:
* hose adapter for generic sink faucet
 
* ''another'' shop vac (seriously, for the CNC!)
Big things:
* power strips / extension cables (primarily 3-prong)
 
* ENORMOUS trash bags
* Tools of all kinds
* ergonomic chairs / more comfy chairs
* A laser cutter
* relevant books
* A nice projector. 4000 lumens or more would be nice. Resolution less important.
* High quality wifi access points like the Ubiquiti Unifi AP-PRO
* Very tall ladder or scissor lift or similar.
* A decent oscilloscope
* A lab power supply
* An industrial sewing machine or serger
* A 16 extension PBX for POTS
 
Smaller things:
 
* Tools of all kinds
* Organizational systems/containers that fit on our shelves or walls
** Come to the space and figure out what would be good
** Anything from tiny spaces for electronics components to large drawers
* A roll of CAT-6A ethernet cable
* Duct tape and wide blue painter's tape
* Long power strips / extension cables (3-prong only)
* Better lighting! The current lighting is functional but depressing.

==Electronics Donations==
===E-waste===
* Sudo Room is reviewing its policy on electronics donations, and will be compiling a list of recyclable goods/costs before Wednesday, Dec. 5th. so that we can form a policy around material electronics donations, and other electronics in the space. This is still under advisement until our next meeting where it will be an agenda item, and then there may be temporary action or continued advisement. '''''UPDATE, PLEASE!!'''''
 
** Consider:
There are plenty of California e-waste facilities nearby.
*** Tools are ALWAYS welcome
*** Laptops, desktops, macs, pcs, etc are almost always welcome because they can be re-purposed easily.
*** Raw materials (that aren't too bulky) are almost always welcome: e.g. actual wood, aluminium, steel, wiring, etc.
**** Bulky raw materials may be handy on a case-by-case basis.
*** Printers are horrible, we can't use them (ink is proprietary and expensive) and they take up too much space.
*** Old technology can sometimes be fun, but consider when it should be seen as a relic or as spare parts.
* Depending on the item, [[User:Matt]] is willing to facilitate donations of electronic devices, especially ones that can be used for parts, or are in working condition. If there isn't room for your donation, sudoers are likely to make room for re-usable or good stuff.
