[sudo-discuss] Proposal to Galvanize

Hey all, I have a proposal I'd like some feedback on and to discuss at the next meeting at the public school this Thursday (7pm right?) *Proposal: * Out of the attendees of these meetings (including folks on the list below), to find some number of interested collectives, individuals, organizations, small businesses, etc to rent the $900-$950 / mo. office adjacent to the Bay Area Public School (BAPS), sharing the common space with BAPS and the Sudo Room at 2141 Broadway in Oakland. For instance, at ~18 equal parties, this room can be rented for $50 / mo. I am personally interested in coordinating several folks to use part of the space as "sudo coworking" with a few small desks for individual work. The intention of this rental is multiple-fold: * To no longer delay in solidifying collaboration between various groups--i.e. for other folks to join BAPS and the Sudo Room by sharing space now. * To commit to investing (minimally) financially in a venture that requires communication, collaboration, and sharing. * To engage in a learning experience about our ability to co-operate and grow. * To provide an opportunity to groups that currently do not have a space to galvanize their community. * To be able to fruitfully engage in a comparison between various group rental options including The Omni, 8th and Alice, and even 2141 Broadway. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/The_Omni https://sudoroom.org/wiki/8th_and_Alice https://sudoroom.org/wiki/2141_Broadway https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Spaces *List (in no particular order):* - * Timeless infinite light<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Timeless_in… - * sudo mesh<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#sudo_mesh> - * Prelinger Library<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Prelinger… - * Local Flavor<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Local_Flav… - * Planting Justice<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Planting_… - * Spokeland<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Spokela… - * Fix-It Clinic<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Fix-It_Cli… - * CorpWatch<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#CorpWat… - * Sudo Co-Working<http://space.sudoscience.org/index.php/Possible_Groups#Sudo_C…
