Thanks you, Patrik!<br>
The commons working group meets Sundays at 7pm. Please come if you
would like to help book and produce events. The event production
collective idea is something that we have discussed but haven't
reached agreement about in the past. That doesn't mean that we can't
discuss it again or do something like it to improve our event
capacity, quality, and income.<br>

There is an events *working group*, who are doing an amazing
job coordinating all the scheduling, but are also constantly
understaffed, overworked, and underappreciated. I've CC'd them
on this email.<br>
<br>
I've suggested before that it might help if there were some
financial incentive for people who are willing to help
bottomline events. I think it could make sense to set up a
collective that has some profit-sharing agreement with the
Omni, and a strong (contractual) commitment to also host free
events.<br>
