The Omni:

8th and Alice:

new guy who was just catching up and i had to give the whole sudo pitch all over again. He was unable to update on the state of the building

The Omni or not to Omni?

We will commit to a joint Omni fundraiser, with a June 1st deadline.
If the Omni falls through, then we will have a sudo space individual fundraiser. Idea is a harmonious-hackathon / pay-what-you-can dev bootcamp one weekend. It can be paired with this idea:

Offer to host an RSVP Dinner w/ Francisco and Liberation Food Worker Cooperative

Grants

At the same time, until we know more about the Omni, grants have been kind to us.

Next Steps

Now we have fundraising@lists.sudoroom.org . This is the way it will work.
There are 41 grants to apply to. All grant writers will receive 50% of the grant if won.

Sudoers can make money helping sudo room, sudo makes cash. [max to send out announcement email].

Goal: "Optimize Sudo Room to GAIN MOMENTUM"
A lesson recently learned: "Everything needs a place" more than they need to be organized with respect to each other.
Approaches
