An attorney would like to do probono work for us to help sudoroom realize it's 501c3 status. April is going to meet with him on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon

Matt - Wondering if any folks are interested in throwing a "membership" event, a "general membership" gathering, or a "thank you party" for the full sudo community? (In January?), preferably before the end of December, like within the next week! Or perhaps at the latest January 1-5?
- I would like an excuse to invite everyone in at once at one time to be in the space, to relax, and to appreciate everyone for their amazing contributions to sudo room and within life generally. :]
- Everyone is too busy but there are a few who would do it in january +1 =1
  - By "too busy" do they mean to attend or to coordinate? coordinate. (coordinate)
  - I don't think too much coordination is needed and I could do that stuff with anyone else who would be interested. Mainly wondering about the message, the intention, and interest in attending! I could help clean before or after in Dec (but couldn't help organize bc burn out)
    - np, I understand.
- What about early January, like before the 5th?

- - What about cyber.wizard.institute? also a bunch of folk are going to CCC between xmas and new years
    - Yeah, cyberwizards is January, no? "January 5th - 30th, 2015" http://cyber.wizard.institute
- Another question: what are the expressions on your faces? ^.^ (I am faceless) like positive vibes, go for it? Or no? yay! i think it's great actually. parties in dec are good vibes
- END DISCUSSION: We'll discuss further on the mailing list. A few people would help set it up.
- OKAY I Have a proposal for email list:
  - (a) Next sudo meeting as potluck, ping all members with a reminder tonight
  - (b) Start email thread for gathering of the sudoers in early January (before Jan 5th)?

Backspace Proposal For Membership

Summary Backspace proposes to move into the the small BDRM upstairs and to manage the adjacent upstairs DEN. Pay $400/ mo with a review after 3 months (April 15, 2015) and a commitment to increase rent as we bring on practitioners and fill the space. Rent is for: SM BDRM - practitioner room DEN - classes, workshops, etc. Begin paying rent January 15 (Pro-rated rent is $200 for January) Regular low - to - no- cost clinic days take up more space in OMNI (aiming for once a month) -- fill up unused rooms with practitioners for a day of wellness oriented services. FULL PROPOSAL HERE: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J1triXg0T4msJ3Ab4-OBtkpLAUG4sejD2vtv7CeIe9o/edit

sudo room requests that they explain why they are applying as a member collective. it is confusing that they call themselves a collective yet are charging fees for services and would they be amenable to language like "sliding-scale, no one turned away due to lack of funds"?

Stated Mission: "Backspace Wellness Collective, a collective within the OMNI Commons, is a worker-owned wellness collective encompassing a broad range of healing modalities to make opportunities available for healing, wellness, care and growth in the community. We offer: - Wellness services via private practice(s). - Regular donation-based clinics that provide wellness services to a diversity of populations from a range of economic backgrounds. - Regular events, talks, panels, teach-ins and classes in our space to engage and empower the community on an educational and participatory level. - Ongoing contemplative classes and workshops (e.g. meditation, yoga, martial arts, etc.)"

The proposal passes with 5 members present and 2 virtually present (non-quorum).

+1 for matt
- lol, thanks for clarifying
+1 for jenny
