Does anyone want an Xbox 360 with wireless controllers? It's in the box and seems to have everything, but not sure about which video out cable it has. Ideally you can make a donation to sudoroom if it's worth something to you

[omni-consensus] Fwd: moving Omni office to basement (fwd)

by Jake

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Sarah Lockhart <sarah.ee.el(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 12:18 PM Subject: moving Omni office to basement To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, Silver < natashazahn27(a)gmail.com> Hi everyone, Recently, Silver and I met with Joey from Village of Love, and he let us know that he has reduced the usage of his space. When he had initially approached Omni about using the basement and signed the lease, he was hoping this work would be funded by a grant, that didn't end up coming through. Hence, the balance due on rent (though the sense I get is that part of the reason he is so behind on rent is that he is exceptionally busy and is juggling so many things that it slips his attention). Silver and I have also been discussing better ways to use Omni's space. As Omni is adding paid staff, having a somewhat private place to work has been noted as necessary for the sanity and productivity of said staff. We have a tentative agreement with Joey, to have Omni take the smallest room of his suite for Omni's admin office, in exchange for a $300/month reduction in rent going forward. This would be great for Silver (who is currently a paid Omni staff person), as it gives them a private space that is also near the Media Lab, which is one of their primary projects. When we collectively were discussing space usage improvement last year (or perhaps late 2021), we had consensed that moving the Omni office to the basement would be acceptable. This would also allow Omni to relocate its files and office supplies out of the 2nd floor room, which could then be rented out to a new tenant/collective. From all the feedback both Silver and I have received from prospective new groups, the room that is currently Omni's office is quite desirable and the increased income from having that space go to a new tenant/collective would make up for what we would be losing from Joey/VoL. Does anyone have any objections to this? thanks, Sarah L

Wednesday update: I'll be in, though currently no one has committed to play a game

by Andrew R Gross

Hey everyone! I was planning on running a session of the tabletop game Fully Automated!, however the only interested players have said that they're not available tonight. I'll still be in, but if anyone wants to play, please let me and the rest of the email list know. If you'd like to play next week (June 21st) let me know, as I'm currently expecting to run a session then. Cheers, *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Sudo Room June meeting summary! (Sorry, forgot to add a subject)

by Andrew R Gross

Hey everyone! Here's the summary of last Wednesday's Sudo Room meeting: *Membership: * We're gaining members at a rate of around 1 per month. *Finances:* We're bringing in $2k of our $2500/mo goal. We've had some success with grant submissions, but could use more volunteers helping write grants. *Facilities:* Our messiness remains our most intractable problem. We have a problem with people anonymously dumping bulky E-waste off. It's still difficult to dispose of waste. And not everyone is consistently leaving the space how they found it when they arrived, especially after big events like Hardware Hacking Tuesday. All of these are known issues, but hard to resolve because we don't currently have any particular solutions that can get consensus. *Comms:* A lot of people aren't aware that we have a Discord server and an IRC, so join those if you like. We'd still like someone to send out a monthly newsletter or a weekly summary of what's going on, but we need at least one volunteer for that. *Events:* I held some table top games last month, and will hold some more this month. We've got stuff reliably happening on Mon, Tues, Weds, and Thurs (see the https://sudoroom.org/calendar for deets), though we'd love more new events. *Action items for June:* - The membership working group will try to consistently prepare a membership update for next month's meeting. - It would be great if someone would propose a set of policies to address the mess and build consensus before the July meeting. - It'd be great if someone else wanted to run meetings. *Minutes:* https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2023-06-07 *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

[omni-consensus] Round 2 of Hellman Grant Budgeting (fwd)

by Jake

Hi Sudoroom, Sarah is our bookkeeper and has a lot of experience with organizations like Omni Commons from her time with Pro Arts (which she's still part of) Delegates are being asked to approve these ideas for how to distribute the grant we recieved recently. The grant specified that it was to be used for "capacity building" and it's important that we explain how that happens, so I really appreciate the work she's doing to write this up. If sudoroom people have strong opinions about this, we should discuss it at a meeting, otherwise i will just advocate for what I think is best on behalf of sudoroom. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2023 18:08:54 -0700 From: Sarah Lockhart <sarah.ee.el(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Round 2 of Hellman Grant Budgeting I hope to get consensus for the remainder of the Hellman Grant budget at this Thursday's delegates meeting. It is also a possibility that the delegates could ... delegate ... this budgeting to the Finance WG if there isn't the capacity among delegates to do this task. Here is a new tab in the same google spreadsheet showing what we have left to allocate, and my initial proposed expenditures for the rest of the money. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18Y3QfUq5cpM7fNie7Nj86739LoKW5vaAZaI… Feel free to comment / add a column etc. thanks!
