I'm guessing this takes CCL assuming the space off the table...

I've given notice to George & Laurie that we are terminating the current lease at the end of December. George said he was interested in putting up the Sudo Room section of the building for co-op sale.

Also, the decision to move would be done by consensus. Given the response to the suggestion we've had in the several past attempts, seems nearly impossible to get agreement on this.

Seems like a great space for the Adeline house crew, who seem most excited about the Omni. Maybe this energy and enthusiasm would be best presented as an expansion to a satellite space and deepening connections with other like-minded groups.

You do realize that's very close to Ace Monster Toys?  If Sudo room moves up to the Berkeley Border, it would make sense to join with Ace Monster Toys.  Also, in my opinion that is way too far from Bart, and way too far from where I live, so I would probably not ever go there.  

Sounds like an interesting space though, and that is a better neighborhood than where AMT is now.  Maybe they would be interested in this space?

My thoughts:

The various spaces are huge and awesome.  The workshop space will be subdivided up so there's the possibility of building a fun 2-level structure / castle / tactile dome for ourselves if we end up deciding to move there.

Sounds like there will be a variety of interesting things happening in the building: art shows, performances, music, various groups meeting, skillshares, yoga and dance classes, etc.

The project seems just about ready to start absorbing more people.  They have 6 "core" people and are looking for more residents and collaborators.  They expect 10-12 people to live there for $800/mo.  It's right by the freeway and has no outdoor space.

We weren't able to photograph the upstairs area which is a funky maze of spaces which are / will become bedrooms that overlook the larger public spaces.  Also there's a hot tub.

They said they were going to prioritize the residents' feeling of "home" over having loud shows every night.  I expect that to be a point of contention -- that huge empty space is crying out to be used for things.

If Sudo Room moved there we'd have to figure out our special access needs (24 hour access, etc) and how that coexists with the other people and events using the space and their security needs.  Maybe there's a side door we could use.

Also there's roof access so Sudo Mesh can probably place a node up there regardless of what else happens.  I bet the Omni people will support that.

I haven't tried the 10 minute walk northward from MacArthur BART so I'm not sure if it's too far or not.  The location is a block behind East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse near where Shattuck hits Telegraph.
