[sudo-discuss] The Omni is happening - PLEASE REVIEW & DISCUSS!

[Hol Gaskill]

nice - we are basically there!  phil i think having a more longterm spot with better access and a critical mass of humans would increase membership.  we started with a cubby at techliminal, then moved to a closet and fishbowl at 2135 broadway with intermittent use of a conference table.  now we are in a ~25x40' room with a large common area.  there has been some synergy with BAPS which i think is undeniable and has boosted membership and activity for both organizations.  combining more groups would bring us up on the radar of even more people who would want to support our various causes.  assuming other groups keep up their end of the arrangement, we should be able to sustain our end of the responsibilities.  the more we offer, the more people become interested.  if you build it, they will come.  that's alot said in the declarative but i believe it all to be true.
