@yar - i can't make a sudo mtg this wednesday, but would love to see sudo
meetings happen again! additional to do items for sudo include: confirming
one or two new, consistent delegates; fundraising (i'll send a financial

Since much of our maintenance is DIY, it can be hard to demonstrate proof.
Do folks think a timeline of work done since buying the building would
suffice? If so I can work on that, too.
