<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 15, 2014 at 11:24 PM, yar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yardenack@gmail.com" target="_blank">yardenack@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">At tonight's Sudoroom meeting, there were no major objections to BDRM2<br>
("the eyeball room") becoming dedicated and lockable for Backspace, or<br>
to the DEN and STORAGE1 being schedulable commons where Backspace gets<br>
priority. The biggest concern is that the Public School would still<br>
have room for its evening classes, but we don't have enough info to<br>
speak for them obviously.<br>
<br>
Just curious - even though we all seem to be converging on a pattern<br>
of scheduled multi-use space, there's still this distinction between<br>
these rooms being "administered by Backspace" and "administered by the<br>
commons working group." I know Backspace prefers the former, but can<br>
you say a little about why, and what is the meaningful difference for<br>
you? Is it the worry about being scheduled out? Is it the desire for<br>
veto power over the layout and aesthetic of the spaces? Thanks.<br>
<br>
Lastly, Matt pointed out some issues with how the money is being framed:<br>
<span class=""><br>
> We would pay $1000 per month starting in October.<br>
<br>
</span>Is this a typo? It seems to contradict the next section.<br>
<span class=""><br>
> Backspace founder Andrew Lowe put forward $6000 to the Omni for Backspace in May 2014. This money was paid ahead as a commitment by Backspace to the Omni and vice versa. We would like to allocate that money in the following way:<br>
><br>
> $3000 for July Rent (first month, last month, deposit)<br>
> $1000 for Septemer<br>
> $1000 for October<br>
> $1000 for November<br>
<br>
</span>Except what actually happened, was Backspace paid $2k for first month,<br>
$2k for last month, and $2k for deposit, and then realized later that<br>
they couldn't continue paying that much per month. It's not just a<br>
semantic problem - that $2k deposit went to the landlord, and not to<br>
the Omni. This pretends that Omni saw $1k that we didn't actually see.<br>
Also, IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer) but it's a scary legal grey area for a<br>
landlord to redefine deposit money as rent money. It might be better<br>
to be honest about what happened instead of retconning it, and just<br>
say that Omni is now giving Backspace a second chance to exist at Omni<br>
with a grace period and a new "lease on life." Just a thought.<br>
