[sudo-discuss] SUDOregistry?

[Jenny Ryan]

Hey Troy! Thanks for the poke!

tl;dr: Fill out your wiki userpage with current projects and contact info!
Help with the membership registry (PHP) and/or mycelia (node)!


ABOUT THE DATA
a) I don't want everyone at sudo room to be able to call or text me. Fairly
certain I'm not alone in this. If you ask for my number and I give it to
you, we've just created trust through consent. Would like to promote a
case-by-case approach to providing sensitive information, and not store it
ourselves. This is why, when I asked for up-to-date membership information,
I only asked for an email and a name/nym.

b) I think we should encourage people to fill out their user pages on the
wiki, and include there things like projects, contact info, and public
keys. We sent out a template for user pages long ago, can't remember who
put it together (Marina, I think?). Here are some examples of nice user
pages:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Juul
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Tunabananas
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Mk30
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/User:Maximilianklein


ABOUT THE MEMBER REGISTRY / SELTZERCRM
I'm running the nascent member registry at http://mycelia.cc/crm, the code
for which is here <https://github.com/elplatt/seltzer> if anyone wants to
look and see if they can build something on top of this. It's PHP. I did a
decent bit of research and this was the most viable FOSS membership
registry system I could find. Soon will port it over to sudoroom.org and
push to Github (hopefully tomorrow). I've been asking for help at the
meetings as it would be great to have more people who want to work on this,
but it needs to happen so I'm not waiting around for a team to form.


ABOUT MYCELIA
The goal of Mycelia <http://mycelia.cc> is to create a decentralized
database for documenting projects, people (skills) and objects between
hackerspaces and also matchmaking between them. Pub/sub [publish /
subscribe] model encouraging folks to have concrete projects about which
they publish updates, or otherwise be a subscriber consuming the updates of
others :)

Unfortunately, I can't code it myself and Marc's busy with sudomesh and
freestore. What's up on Github is essentially Labitrack (the QR-code
sticker inventory system we're using at sudo) converted into NodeJS and
LevelDB. It's definitely a priority project, but not #1 right now. CC'ing
substack in case he's interested in this project.


Cheers,

Jenny
