I think Matt's proposal has legs - for sure, it would be great to try to
get a critical mass of collectives together regardless of the Omni or where
we end up collectively moving.
On the negative side there is mostly only the potentially dissonant
messaging of BAPS & Sudo trying to get out of 2141 because of all the
reasons we already know, while at the same time trying to get new folks
*into* 2141. Also the reality that paying rent at 2141 for new groups will
invariably cut down on their potential initial investment capital going
into another, new space. But, if the lease is month-to-month, and there are
currently space-less groups willing to put down in there, heck why not? I
don't think new groups will get too excited about an office off the main
room per se as a space to work in, but the benefits being proximal to BAPS
and Sudo, and actually having a space for those who are currently nomadic,
and most importantly not waiting to start actually forming the collective
of collectives *now*, to the extent that we can, definitely makes sense to
me.

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.
