Just to be clear - were these racks donated to Sudoroom or Sudo Mesh?

If the latter, I'm ok with whatever that group decides.

If the former, I would advocate for keeping them all. I think rather
than selling the rack, we could potentially make more money renting
space for colo servers to people in our community. Definitely more a
long-term than short-term goal, but I don't think we should start
selling off awesome infrastructure when we're just getting started in
our huge new space!

If we were to share with a sister hackerspace, is there one in
particular that wants it?
