[sudo-discuss] lockers

Fri Jul 12 12:19:08 PDT 2013

Good points all :-) Since we have lockers now, does this mean we'll be
doing away with the stack of crates?

Anyone have a preferred timeframe for an organizing day? What if I put
something on the calendar for the Sunday after this one (July 21] and we
ramp up to it? Ramping up would entail such activities as: transporting the
shelves Patrick said he would donate, going through the library [do we
really want to keep the manual on Java 6, for instance?], and tagging
things on the shelves ['working' or 'broken' or 'ewaste', ideally a bit
more specific].

Thinking this could also be a Mycelia <http://www.mycelia.cc/> bootstrap
day - so we would be making labels for stuff we want to keep around and
start documenting finished and in-progress projects. Making QR code labels
will prompt folks to document things on the wiki, and documenting projects
will prompt me to start working on the project-end of Mycelia...
