Hi all,
I'm a new member. I'm excited to be a part of this community. There are
great people and great resources in the space. I've also noticed that is
kind of disorganized, cluttered, and the organization is broke! As a medium
to long term goal I think it would be great to gain financial solvency and
be able to start saving for larger projects as well as clean up the space
and make it an amazing workspace with lots of working tools, spare parts,
and workspace.
I reviewed the articles of association and noticed a few roles that were
not apparent to me in the meetings I've attended. For me the first goal of
implementing change is identifying the leadership and working with them to
build a consensus.
Is there an existing facilitator, scribe, exchequer, and conflict steward?
Thanks,
David

Agreed!

sudo room tries to be a horizontally structured space. You have as much
sudo power as you're willing to take on but working with others and
checking in before taking actions that are hard to undo is always good.

This should probably be re-written slightly as these are roles that are
assigned on a per-meeting or per-conflict basis. We should probably be
better about actually verbally making a group decision on who is the
facilitator and scribe for each meeting (lately we've been bad at that),
though we do take collaborative notes so there is usually more than one
person scribing. There can also be more than one conflict steward at the
same time if there are multiple ongoing conflicts. We do have an exchequer
and I believe that rcsheets is currently it :)

Ok. There are few overall goals with respect to what I discussed above I
think we should set, and it will take more than just me to execute them. Do
these next steps make sense for the organization, for example?
Perhaps:
1. Ask for volunteers to lead fundraising, cleanliness, and organization
challenges, perhaps develop subcommittees specially tasked with these goals.
2. Ask these volunteers (with help of members) develop scope, schedule,
budget (?) and lead execution of them, each with help from more volunteers.
3. Monthly reporting to the group on progress.
I'd like to work with rcsheets on the financial issues, specifically
developing a budget and setting targets for member contributions and
fundraising. I have some other ideas about how we can raise money too.
Rcsheets: can you work with me?
