Fiscal Sponsorship agreement going into effect

by Paige P

Hi everyone, I am a Sudo Room member who has been volunteering a lot in admin work for the last year, and am at least the sudo room president in name. But also I'm on the board for Omni Commons. Omni Commons is still fiscally sponsoring Sudo Room, since Sudo Room isn't yet ready to act as a nonprofit. The planned update to the fiscal sponsorship agreement between Omni Commons and Sudo Room (and the other groups sponsored by Omni) has been decided to go into effect starting June 1st. - The agreed on fee was 8% of total receipts. Here is the document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JeImeQK0ugbb7Ewys5H9mufxyX_NFikeoVr_Rnm… ) - The agreement needed to be updated after the building sale because Omni Common's nonprofit no longer has any income otherwise --- before "fiscal sponsorship fees" were rolled into each sponsored project's rent. Now that Omni no longer owns the building/collects rent, it instead will collect funds through fiscal sponsorship fees. - Funds are needed since Omni Commons still has some debts, and has been paying for Sudo's insurance since the building sale. 8% was chosen as a comparable rate to most organizations providing fiscal sponsorship. Also, since Sudo Room and Free Store have not been making any contributions to the Omni Commons nonprofit, me/Omni's board is also asking if Sudo Room can contribute towards insurance payments since September 2024. I haven't done the accounting on this yet, and we are also waiting to get another insurance refund which will change the amount. I know Sudo Room doesn't have a lot of money coming in so we are more seeking extra donations for this. Tldr: Sudo Room, at least while sponsored by Omni, will need to start keeping track of how much it makes in donations and member fees, and then pay 8% of that back to Omni. Sudo Room is still on the Omni board, so it can join the Omni delegate/board meeting to discuss more! The next one is on June 12th. Paige

OCLP

by Patrick Clawson

This message is for Peter Mui, apologies for spamming the group with a message for a specific person, but I don't have their contact details yet. Hi Peter, This is Patrick Clawson, we met at last week's Tuesday night meeting and you gave me the minimac to get up and running with OCLP. I was reading up on it and one of the draw backs to OCLP is that future upgrades might break the install, requiring another run at it with the OCLP installer. I was reading that non-MacOS installs such as linux are also possible and might not require as many interventions to keep running. I was wondering if you had a specific use in mind for that mac that having macOS running on it is desired, or if the idea is to just get it up and running, OS agnostic? again, apologies for messaging the group as a whole if that goes against the general mailing list etiquette, and I'm happy to take this conversation to a separate email thread if you'd like to send me an email address to use. -- Patrick Clawson zombiebot(a)gmail.com pbclawson(a)gmail.com 510-290-6540
