new members
old members
- our members are getting older. this needs to stop.
- yar thinks we need to reach out to people who don't come anymore, ask them why, ask them for critiques of sudoroom
- matt proposes a phone bank
- first we need to create a list of such people. this is a task in itself. starting with anyone who:
- has attended a meeting
- has emailed the list
- has participated in the IRC
omni proposals
New Rent Payment Scheme
Finance / Fundraising working groups propose we adopt the following rent accounting process, where individual operating costs are explicitly and transparently listed, divided appropriately, then compiled for each collective into a round monthly rent that does not fluctuate with minor changes in costs (e.g. we all get a fixed utilities payment, pro-rated based on each group's contributions, rather than a large even split calculated every month based on whatever our bill says):
