discussion about delegate representation with potential Executive Director

Clarification? Is discussion of Executive Director for sudo room and/or Omni Commons?

Extensive conversation amongst attendees. There's also an e-mail presumably as part of public mailing list.

Inquirey: "sudo mesh"

x: WITHDRAWN from meeting discussion, thanks for feedback

jnny: Not in sudo room's wheelhouse. Sudo Mesh is its own independent Omni Member Collective and 501c3 nonprofit, tertiarily associated w/ sudoroom. Contact re: moving space / equipment: info@sudomesh.org

Ⅹ: Would like to get recap of current/past state of "sudo mesh" and interested in insuring that it is maintained as the currently registered status "Active" as a 501c3 California Organization Per SoS status "Active" SUDO MESH (3617429) I think this is time relevant giving outlook of current state of things with physical space. I also have couple of projects queing with others that could be suitable to re-engage in active development.

    • yep, maintaining it tx for asking! check the wiki for history; check in with sudomesh board for context/proposals. - jnny

x: Understand you (jnny) are "official" point of contact, is best to reach out to you directly or the org in general thru any particular means? I would like to expolore the oppurtunity of resuming some kind of meeting for sudo mesh, or is Tuesday hack nights deemed an active time for that currently?

jnny: it's complicated. covid era -> many core folks moving away. dealing with family things. i have a fulltime job. jnny: want to reboot but not enough capacity for weekly newbie onboarding.. can always start a meetup or workshop series @ sudo, sudomesh does not have priority over mesh-y/community WiFi explorations! and obviously y'all have dibs on hella gear :)

x: thank you to all for keeping up on things. for process there seems to be some documentation to collect on board meetings or status past 2020. - jnny: yeah maybe focus on omni..? - x: lets talk more post meeting.

x: Announcing intent of engaging in meeting(s) on-line and in-person. Will be discussing related topics, not as sudo mesh specificaly Friday. Will see who else can contact and find times to meet next week as well, such as Tuesday. I have some bandwidth to offer for logistics, and currently would like to work on hacks and radio projects until sudo room and omni dynamics mellow a bit.

Vote on Sudo Room's next Delegate

( left out most discussion, just the vote )

That Eric stands down as delegate for 1 month, pending conflict resolution with Jamal. (not voted yet)

Jake doesn't want Eric to stand down because he feels Eric represents him and not Paige.

Asking if Alex can be delegate.

Vote on: Eric to stand down as delegate for 3 weeks: 

   yes:3 / no:3 / abstain:2

Considering only Alex (without Eric & Paige) or Alex & Paige.

Vote for Alex only, Eric & Paige step down, Paige helps in transition: 

   yes: 8 - PASSED


More discussion

Angl3a created a #sudo-proposal channel on Omni Slack for us to discuss future proposals. (doesn't exist yet?)
