[sudoroom] Hackertime/Hackerspace

[Matthew Senate]

"Sudo Room bureaucracy nights"

That made me LOL at work, haha.

OK. I get it. Let's start hacking. Believe me, I want to do that more than
anything. But we don't hack in vacuums (unless you're an astronaut), so
there's quite a bit to be done to create a platform and a space (physical
and conceptual) to hack. We have beginnings of this at Techliminal's Wed
hack night.

Some folks like partaking in that legwork, others have some different
priorities (and this is actually great for everyone I think, it's nice to
help with and also learn from others' projects as we're getting sudo room
together).

The last thing we want is to see ourselves as
self-imposed bureaucrats, right? I think we're on our trajectory away from
that, which we will hopefully be able to do in the future by separating
hacking meetups from "strictly bizness" meetings or online conversations,
etc.

Finally, I owe you all some emails. They are coming. I wrote a bunch of
stuff on bart that needed to be written down, just need to make the digital
translation.
