Hi all,
Please review my plan below and let me know if this jives with the philosophy for the
space.

Ok. There are few overall goals with respect to what I discussed above I think we should
set, and it will take more than just me to execute them. Do these next steps make sense
for the organization, for example?
Perhaps:
1. Ask for volunteers to lead fundraising, cleanliness, and organization challenges,
perhaps develop subcommittees specially tasked with these goals.
2. Ask these volunteers (with help of members) develop scope, schedule, budget (?) and
lead execution of them, each with help from more volunteers.
3. Monthly reporting to the group on progress.
I'd like to work with rcsheets on the financial issues, specifically developing a
budget and setting targets for member contributions and fundraising. I have some other
ideas about how we can raise money too. Rcsheets: can you work with me?

Hi all,
I'm a new member. I'm excited to be a part of this community. There are great
people and great resources in the space. I've also noticed that is kind of
disorganized, cluttered, and the organization is broke! As a medium to long term goal I
think it would be great to gain financial solvency and be able to start saving for larger
projects as well as clean up the space and make it an amazing workspace with lots of
working tools, spare parts, and workspace.
Agreed!
I reviewed the articles of association and
noticed a few roles that were not apparent to me in the meetings I've attended. For me
the first goal of implementing change is identifying the leadership and working with them
to build a consensus.
sudo room tries to be a horizontally structured space. You have as much sudo power as
you're willing to take on but working with others and checking in before taking
actions that are hard to undo is always good.
Is there an existing facilitator, scribe,
exchequer, and conflict steward?
This should probably be re-written slightly as these are roles that are assigned on a
per-meeting or per-conflict basis. We should probably be better about actually verbally
making a group decision on who is the facilitator and scribe for each meeting (lately
we've been bad at that), though we do take collaborative notes so there is usually
more than one person scribing. There can also be more than one conflict steward at the
same time if there are multiple ongoing conflicts. We do have an exchequer and I believe
that rcsheets is currently it :)
