[sudo-discuss] sudoroom phone!

[Jake]

I think sudoroom should have a telephone!  a real telephone, wired into 
the wall.  Perhaps sudoroom already has a telephone number?  I don't know.

The reason i say this is because unlike noisebridge, sudoroom is only open 
(to non-members a.k.a. potential members) at uncertain times.

I would really like to be able to tell these people "call this number to 
see if anyone is at the space".  That way, if sudoroom is open, the 
members there can answer the telephone and tell the noobs that it's okay 
to bike over, or whatever they do for transport.

If there is not a telephone at sudoroom already, I think we should set up 
a VOIP phone.  I know there is at least one VOIP box at sudoroom and if 
not, i volunteer to donate one.  (it's just a little box that plugs into 
the ethernet, and has a telephone jack)

If anyone has a nice telephone, we can use that.  Alternately I volunteer 
to grab a payphone from noisebridge (there are a couple on a shelf) and 
bolt it to the wall inside sudoroom and set it up.

but i am not willing to set up the VOIP account and configure the little 
box, someone else can do that.  Fortunately the cost of a VOIP phone line 
is on the order of $2 per month (yes thats right).

I think it should be a 510 number, because some people don't have long 
distance and it actually matters.
