<div dir="ltr"><div>My vision for another office/co-working space at 2141 is a 'focus-space' or 'quiet-space' of individual studying. One of the reasons that I don't come to 2141 when I need to work, is because there isn't a place for me to be free of question asking, and have a guaranteed lower noise level. I would pay for that premium, of knowing that the door would be closed, and that everybody inside would be working, no idle chatter, and no questions about sudo room. I know that seems restrictive, but we already have plenty of space for collaboration, but no proper study carrels. I would make a room full of premium silent work spaces. Would that be of interest to anyone else?<br>

On The Dangers of 2141 Broadway - as far as I see it, we're here, and it's going to take quite a bit of energy to confirm an alternative with the right critical mass of folks. To rent out an extra room is equivalent to saying "We haven't signed a lease on an alternative for this January, let's put our stuff and ourselves some place for now, especially if we don't have any space at all". With a month-to-month contract, I shared my reasons in the first email about why I think it's valuable to do this. In fact, we're lucky to have the option at this time.</li>
<li>On Fund-Raising - I do think there will be some way to intelligently combine the budgets of a small number of groups to share the third office. Knowing just a few interested parties should get the ball rolling. If we're building up to make serious financial commitments together, I see this as pretty close to the minimum in terms of financial commitments, a first step. By all of this I also mean that I don't think the cost will be prohibitive to raising more funds, given the back-of-the-envelope estimations for alternative spaces so far.</li>
<li>On The Office - I believe splitting the room about ~18 ways would be possible. On the other hand, I think there is likely a better set of chunks than even division. To give more detail, I think we could probably do something more like:</li>
<ol><li>Some significant portion of the space is rented by one or two groups, up to say a third or a half. ($300 - $400 / mo)</li><li>Some shared desk space is available for folks that need an office space (3 x $50 / mo)</li>
<li>Some storage space is available for folks that need storage only, or storage along with room usage. (3 x $50 / mo)</li><li>A few more desks are rented and managed as a co-working component, say as "sudo work" or whatever, that I am interested in coordinating. (6 x $50 / mo)</li>
