[sudo-discuss] [consensus] Nominations for Board of Directors

Wed Oct 30 12:35:28 PDT 2013

Hi All,

I really appreciate the nomination but will unfortunately have to 
decline, I love Sudo room and will continue to help wherever I can but 
I'm getting close to maximum bandwidth with all of the awesome biohacker 
and biotech projects (many of which Sudo inspired). I would however, 
love to still keep the biohacker connection going at Sudo room and I'd 
be happy to help with connecting us (Sudo) to the broader Biohacker 
community (including Counter Culture Labs which I'm now a board member of).

I love the idea of a developing Sudo culture and looking forward to 
further lively debates and membership :)

To all our fellow Sudo'ers, Live long and Prosper!
