Hello SUDO Community,
I have an update on the foreclosure, I have attached a letter from CAST,
which also summarizes all of the updates. Basically Mulberry has told us:
1. X organization intends to pay off Mulberry Trusts’s loan to Omni
Commons of approximately $873,973.00
2. Here is a $10,000 non-refundable deposit to show we are serious.
3. Attach a copy of Omni's Board Resolution noting the agreement between
Omni and the organization paying off the loan.
4. If we do not hear from you by Tuesday, May 14th at 12pm, we will
direct the foreclosure trustee to file the paperwork.
CAST appears to be willing to work with us even if the foreclosure is
filed. But we also have the option to comply with Mulberry's requirements
and fundraise to purchase the building with funding from another source
within the 1 week timeframe. We will likely be entertaining proposals from
Peoples Programs and City In Motion at tomorrow's board meeting.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or ideas or insights.
Best
William
> I’m sorry for the delay on this. It turns out that the LOI should be
submitted by CAST to Omni Commons. We will turn around and submit this for
consideration by Omi Commons.
I wanted to highlight a few things:
-
I believe we have till Sunday evening or early Monday morning to share a
signed LOI for purchase to the Trust. This is to be accompanied by a
$10,000 check. We then have 24 additional hours to submit the full payment
to the Trust at which time the title is released to Omni Commons.
-
If this timing cannot be met, the foreclosure action will be undertaken
and there is 90 days to pay down the loan. The clock would essentially
start on Tuesday the 14th.
CAST has the ability to pay $10,000 for the deposit but not the balance
within 24 hours after that. Given this reality, we will let the Trust know
of our plans to pursue an LOI with Omni Commons and the need for additional
time to secure the balance of funds. This assumes that they advance to
foreclose.
- CAST would like to sign an LOI with Omni Commons as quickly as
possible so we can pursue funding to meet the 90 day foreclosure window. We
will not negotiate to assemble a partnership for purchase.
We encourage Omni Commons to explore all options.
-
People’s Program and City In Motion have both expressed interest and
have reached out to CAST. I will respond to both and encourage them to
speak with Omni Commons directly.
-
We recommend that you determine, separate from CAST, if their offers
are viable and you wish to sell the building to either of them. We don’t
want to hold you up if you are able and prefer to resolve the matter
immediately.
there have been members whose windows have been smashed - my first
suggestion is to tell guests to park on the opposite side of Telegraph in
the more ritzy residential neighborhood and walk 10-15 minutes
have people had luck in the Macarthur bart parking structure
how about parking by the piedmont police dept and then taking a rideshare
or bikeshare?
I have a guest who's coming who is driving all the way from Sonoma!

Hi Sudoers:
This week we have one person (Lily) signed up with a bunch of stuff (see
https://bit.ly/itemcheckins) and we typically get lots of walk-ins too.
Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and
it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to
go and what to do.
So can someone try to arrive early say, 7:30 or so to greet people for
Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get them started on
their projects?
Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is
working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the
sidewalk.
Many thanks, -Peter
Due to funding there are no good science museums in the Bay Area or California in general that are fun for adults! They are mostly geared to kids and parents for some reason
I propose we create mini science exhibits aimed at people 18 and above! Let’s create the science museum exhibit that is not geared for teaching kids’ let’s make it as complex or simple as we want it to be … just make it for adults !

A short, sweet early evening “let’s make augmented reality, virtual reality
and more” with VisionPro, open source headsets, quest, webXR etc. at the
SudoRoom Hackerspace!
- If you simply must use social, sign up at https://lu.ma/50veey96
We promise you there will be no slides you have to sit through. We will
have whiteboards and chalkboards to shake things up with your virtual

This will be an in-person event only, not remote!
- For adults only, 18 and over!
