I'm in full support. I will say that the challenge is getting people to
attend.
I used to hold meeting every Wednesday, and there weren't enough people to
discuss things, so we changed things so that the first Wednesday is the big
meeting, and all other Wednesdays are optional meetings.
What if we changed the day we meet? Would anyone be more likely to attend
meetings and hang-outs if they were on Thursday or Friday? I'm just going
to keep saying this: if you like Sudo/Omni and would be sad if it
disappeared, please reply and volunteer for working group! Just setting
aside 2 hrs a month would make a difference!

I have a proposal to make meetings weekly at Sudo Room
(rather than 1x a
month). My idea is 2 of these are structured with agendas, votes, and notes
(maybe the first and third Wednesdays, so we have time to review proposals
that will be voted on in delegates meeting), and other ones would be
informal, but at least focused on some cooperative project (i.e. building
out/fixing up work stations, working on wiki documentation, laptop program
work, or doing some outreach). Hopefully we could pool together some food
for these too for community building.
Context: Last night there was discussion about ways Omni isn't working
right now. One of the complaints that resonated with me is that delegates
aren't really acting like delegates right now (in the horizontal
organizing/anarchist sense), and do have power. Yea by some it was getting
framed that they are power hungry white supremacists who won't step down,
but my perspective is that they reluctantly have power because there is not
an engaged membership that they can represent - they have to do a lot of
the decision making work on their own (not good). At the least, I think
that's true of sudo room right now, and I hope this Wednesday idea could
help foster community and consensus building efforts. Yes I know some of
this happens Tuesday and Mondays night, but for the most part those are
focused on personal project hacking (which is well and good, just
different).
