Eddan, Sudoers,

There are two summaries from this meeting. One is from notes taken by Ben Provan of
CollaborativeHousing.com, posted here: http://sl-co.com/meet-the-cio-hacker-maker-spaces/ 
and Debbie did a summary: http://sanleandronext.com/?p=1087  A local company, Direct
Images, did the video but I'm not sure where it's posted. Their blog has some nice
burning man shots tho' http://strategy.directimages.com/blog/

Also thanks for the head up on the Friday meeting on Open Culture.
http://sl-co.com/open-culture/ Looking forward to bein' schooled by my friends (esp
Ryan) to the slight north.

 Subject: [sudo-discuss] San Leandro Meet the CIO event report-back

 for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces
last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far
exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker
Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up
somewhere.

 Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what
Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because of his background in real
estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces
are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your
landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open
communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease
terms.
