Hi Capt. Chesapeake,<br><br>I would just like to point out that these are great ideas which have all been brought up and discussed and implemented to various degrees. There are standing working groups at Omni focused on many issues, meetings here may not be accurate but whichever one you feel motivated to join and consistently support it would be much appreciated: <a href="https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/categories/working-groups/" target="_blank">https://omnicommons.org/<wbr>calendar/events/categories/<wbr>working-groups/<br><br></a>You're ahead of the curve for having read some of the founding documents, and there is alot of additional history on the Omni side which took over more of the meta organizing function. <br><br> What is needed is follow through from your first realization below of what must be done, through to consistent presence, much better to take on a light workload where there is an identified gap in volunteer effort and stick with it so it doesn't fall back on anyone else's plate. If you have any trouble navigating existing landscape of Omni organizing activities Jenny and Yar are probably the most plugged in these days.<br><br>I have honestly not been active on organizing side the past 2 years, so take my opinions and priorities with a grain of salt, just wanted to get you plugged in so you can have impact proportional to the energy you're coming in with. IMO getting more members in who enjoy building community and leaving the space better than they found it is the highest priority and everpresent "to-do" task. Happy to do my part on cleanliness tonight in between messinesses.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Hol<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div dir="ltr">Ok. There are few overall goals with respect to what I discussed above I think we should set, and it will take more than just me to execute them. Do these next steps make sense for the organization, for example?
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps:</div>
<div>1. Ask for volunteers to lead fundraising, cleanliness, and organization challenges, perhaps develop subcommittees specially tasked with these goals.</div>
<div>2. Ask these volunteers (with help of members) develop scope, schedule, budget (?) and lead execution of them, each with help from more volunteers.</div>
<div>3. Monthly reporting to the group on progress.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd like to work with rcsheets on the financial issues, specifically developing a budget and setting targets for member contributions and fundraising. I have some other ideas about how we can raise money too. Rcsheets: can you work with me?</div>

<div> </div>
<div>I'm a new member. I'm excited to be a part of this community. There are great people and great resources in the space. I've also noticed that is kind of disorganized, cluttered, and the organization is broke! As a medium to long term goal I think it would be great to gain financial solvency and be able to start saving for larger projects as well as clean up the space and make it an amazing workspace with lots of working tools, spare parts, and workspace.</div>

<div>I reviewed the articles of association and noticed a few roles that were not apparent to me in the meetings I've attended. For me the first goal of implementing change is identifying the leadership and working with them to build a consensus.</div>

<div>sudo room tries to be a horizontally structured space. You have as much sudo power as you're willing to take on but working with others and checking in before taking actions that are hard to undo is always good.</div>

<div>Is there an existing facilitator, scribe, exchequer, and conflict steward?</div>

<div> This should probably be re-written slightly as these are roles that are assigned on a per-meeting or per-conflict basis. We should probably be better about actually verbally making a group decision on who is the facilitator and scribe for each meeting (lately we've been bad at that), though we do take collaborative notes so there is usually more than one person scribing. There can also be more than one conflict steward at the same time if there are multiple ongoing conflicts. We do have an exchequer and I believe that rcsheets is currently it :)</div>
