I propose that Sudoroom and Sudomesh take over the three (of four) basement rooms being vacated by Village of Love, paying a combined $1500 for them.
In the past decade, Sudoroom has failed to scale its community to the size required to pay for its current space. It's been perpetually in debt ever since, never had any budget left over to invest in hacking, and had to ask forgiveness from Omni many times, putting the building in greater jeopardy.
Besides its size, one of the nicest features of the current spot is natural sunlight - but virtually all Sudo gatherings happen after dark. We are paying for something we don't use.
Omni is coming under increasing community pressure over the fact that majority-white collectives underpay for the biggest nicest spaces in the building, while pushing more diverse collectives into less desirable corners. This will be one way to make right.
Downsizing is good for us, good for omni, and good for the newer BIPOC-led collectives that omni is trying to recruit.
If sudoers agree, maybe a good timeline would be to announce intention to complete the move by February 1.
