I would think at least 2 months is reasonable, but 3 would be more fair to LM.
Insofar as the other issues I brought up with the TV screens and the vending machines, perhaps we could frame it as:
"One thing Omni has been working towards but could certainly use more of is sharing food and making music together, and more instruments and regularly-scheduled time for communing is something we're all excited about! We're also enthusiastic about your intention to reach out to our neighbors directly and invite them to participate.
However, some members have requested we not install the televisions in the space as videogame consoles and movie theaters. Omni is a space for creative and cultural production, participation and collaboration. We have many resources available that would foster creativity and skill acquisition, such as public computers, a film editing and post-production studio, a community print shop, a crafty corner in the basement with art supplies, regular film screenings using our many projection screens and projectors, a science lab and a hackerspace full of tools and gadgets to tinker with. Youth would be welcome to participate in any of a variety of semi-structured weekly meetups, such as: Hardware Hack Night, Tuesdays in sudo room; Fermentation Station, Wednesdays in CCL, Javascript Study Group, Thursdays in SR; Linux Installfest, Fridays SR; and Sunday printmaking workshops in MPM. We would very much welcome more youth-led activities.
Additionally, the vending machines in CCL are part of a sudo room project in development, and we'd love your input on items we could include for sale. See this wiki page for a list of items we're considering, such as hygiene products and electronics kits:

But maybe that's all a bit much and we can simply have the conversation over the course of the trial period.
