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.
