Great! I am excited at the prospect of more groups being open to sharing
spaces with one another.
I do think it would be helpful, however, to have a baseline such as,
Backspace will allow for other groups to use the space no less than X% of
the time even if that's only 2 hours once a week.. but maybe that's too
bureaucratic... What happens if there's a group that has a regular meeting
that happens in that space once Backspace is up and running for awhile?
Will that group be asked to leave if Backspace decides they'd like to start
having a class or workshop on those evenings?
The only reason I'm asking these questions is because I'm in that building
almost every day and I see that "sharing space" is going to only get more
and more complicated. Last night there was something happening in *every*
room and that was a Tuesday night! I was trying to find rooms for groups to
meet in that had no idea the room they usually used was occupied for
another event. I am hoping that we can collectively work to not only create
a really great system for scheduling and sharing of space, but to grow a
really great culture of sharing! For this reason, I think being explicit
might be really helpful (please tell me if you think I'm being
unreasonable). This way, people's expectations are clearly stated and other
people know what is and is not available and when.
As far as the former TIL space is concerned, I do think that something more
specific needs to be worked out if that room is going to do double duty as
a children's space and a lockable room for body work. I have no doubt we
can come up with something!

Hi,
We are talking about DEN & BDRM, BDRM [2], and STORAGE [1].
To answer some of Niki's comments:
- Can Backspace give an idea as to how much time / what days or evenings
the "den" would be available for use by other groups? (One day a week / 10%
of the time / etc.)
We wont know 100% until we've been up and running for awhile. We have
someone right now who is going to use that space two nights a week and
certainly there will be more. While we are getting more members set up and
doing some renovations the space will mostly likely be open most of the
time for omni bookings, but as we grow we will be using more time in there.
- The former TIL office downstairs is actually two smaller rooms which are
currently being proposed as a children's space.
We are aware of the proposed use as a children's space, we think that we
can work out a schedule that will allow for that vision to happen as well
was giving us a much needed second dedicated space with a door for
practitioners that is (or will be) ADA accessible.
Thanks,
Andrew

By the way, I have been urging people to refer to
the names on this
floorplan, to avoid confusion:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Floorplan#Annotated_Floorplan
They're kinda clinical and not really intended for conversational use,
but at least they're unique. When in doubt, include a link to the floorplan
on the wiki! For example, the spaces above the corner entrance are marked
"DEN & BDRM", "BDRM [1]" and "BDRM [2]", and the spaces
between the
ballroom and the cafe are labeled "STORAGE [1]" (the one with the windows,
that Backspace wants to use) and "STORAGE [2]" (no windows - possible the
"bunker"?)
A while back, there was talk about some WG coming up with better names
for all the spaces, but I'm not sure anything materialized out of that. If
there is a better set of names (like "bunker room" and "eyeball
room"),
please put them up on the wiki somewhere, so we can avoid this kind of
confusion.
Thanks!

Is Backspace interested in sole use of that room,
or open to the
current
proposal of it being a dedicated Kids Room as
well?
You're thinking of a different room - we've been calling the former
TIL office the "Kids Room." Backspace is talking about the other room
across from that one, under the staircase, which has BAPS books in it
now.
From what I understand, they're proposing to have domain over the room
with the understanding that it would be unlocked and usable by other
groups whenever Backspace isn't using it. They want to do renovations
to make it clean and safe enough for bodywork sessions, and the
bodyworkers want to be able to have final say over the layout and
aesthetics of the room.
