Tonight we have a delegates' meeting. I didn't make it to the last one and I
didn't do a good job of relaying the discussions (seen in the following
meeting notes) to this list so that people could weigh in on them:

Tonight in the meeting the elephant in the room was a sudden proposal to open
the ballroom (and basement to some extent) to use as an "emergency shelter" as
written here:

that proposal is for opening parts of the omni tomorrow until wednesday as an
emergency shelter. We talked about it at length, and personally i am hopeful
that everything will go smoothly. Advertisements for Omni as a shelter have
somehow already appeared on instagram and twitter and even been
retweeted/advertised by the city of oakland on a list of storm shelters.
When it came time for the delegates to vote, I abstained or "stand aside" on
behalf of Sudoroom since I didn't get a chance to get input from our
membership on this proposal. It passed though, there were enough yes votes.
If anyone wants to help support ah shit this email isn't even going out until
the last day of the scheduled shelter event. They are now talking about
extending it another day.
As your delegate i should really be more on-top of things and not postpone
emails in the middle until they're too old to send.
