[omni-consensus] Proposal for Expansion of Rental Space at Sacred Makers Arts Collective) (fwd)

by Jake

Dear Sudoroom, we are going to be asked to agree to this proposal being made by the Media Lab people downstairs, to expand in the proposed ways and pay more rent. please read about this and prepare for discussion at the next sudoroom meeting -jake ---------- forwarded message from consensus list -------------- Helloooo Omni, Attached, you will find a new proposal outlining our plans for Sacred Makers Arts Collective to expand our rental space into the basement. In recent months, our team has dedicated significant effort to cleaning and organizing the space, clearing away accumulated items to activate the area effectively. Currently, we pay $800 per month for the sewing zone and screen print zone. With our expansion plans, we aim to introduce a looming zone and a jewelry-making zone, utilizing the proposed spots as indicated in the attached layout. Additionally, we seek one lockable room to secure valuable equipment such as computers, considering the current open layout of the media lab. The enclosed office space adjacent to the village love room aligns perfectly with our requirements, offering the ideal setting for our operations. In light of these developments, we propose an increased monthly rental rate of $1200, effective from March. We kindly request your feedback and any necessary support regarding this proposal. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or require further clarification. *Below is current rental agreement of $800 a month* [image: SMAC current rental agreement.PNG] *SMAC Proposed Expansion for $1200 a month* [image: SMAC rental proposal .png]

ceiling fan/light

by Hilary Naylor

Hi all, I wonder if SudoRoom or Omni would like this ceiling fan w/light: [image: 784036678.jpeg] I bought it on a daily deal a few months ago, hoping to cool my living room this summer. But unfortunately, my handperson says there is not enough support for it in my ceiling. So I would like to donate it somewhere worthwhile and of course, I thought of you guys. I can drop it off in the next few days if it can be useful. cheers Hilary --- Hilary Naylor, Ph.D. www.a2zed.us Oakland CA

async videos for "today I learned" or "what I learned at SudoRoom"

by Romy Ilano

Hey guys I am not really having time to sit through presentations. I thought we could film youtube videos (or hosted on any other server) that show what we did or got done this week at SudoRoom. This could be shared on Social media (with permission) and I guess the biggest ask is that you show: what did I do and learn that was made possible by SudoRoom? The videos can be played at will if there is an online meeting, but there's no need to sit through hours of presentations (there are already too many of those already right?) at some point I'd like to schedule a "this month I learned" or "today I learned" it can be async. 11:20 <https://wnbcodingnight.slack.com/archives/C03G8CS79D5/p1709234415843999> now that I think of it i might do this for the next session - i would even think it'd be nice to record it and then put it up on the serve rin case anyone is interested! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

We are still in the process of assembling our team of expert facilitators, and I believe your organization's expertise and experience would be invaluable to our project. As a reminder, our goal is to create an immersive learning experience for students from underrepresented communities and low socioeconomic backgrounds. The role as a facilitator in our would involve guiding learners through simulated electronic assembly tasks within our embodied virtual reality platform. This opportunity not only allows the contribution of cutting-edge research but also provides a chance to make a meaningful impact on the future of education. If your organization is still interested in being part of our project, please let me know your availability for a brief introductory call. I would be happy to provide more details about the project and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for considering this opportunity to join our team. We truly value your expertise and hope to hear from you soon. Warm regards, José E.
