[sudo-discuss] event proposal

[Matthew Senate]

Yes, +1 and I'm happy to help. I've given you an account on the sudo room
calendar, so you can post a date when things come together.

Whenever details are settled, we should ensure the time(s) are available
with The Omni and bring it to a Thursday Omni Collective meeting for
nominal checking and approval.
