[sudo-discuss] Delegate's Meeting Location: Inaccessible

[Ryan]

Hey folks! I've been in and out due to serious health problems, but I'm
hoping to be spending more time at the Omni soon.

However, there's one thing that's really concerning to me...

Since moving into an electric wheelchair for the most part, the delegate's
meeting is rather inaccessible. I understand making the basement accessible
would be a rather large feat and I don't expect it to be done overnight.
However, considering the delegates meetings are such a Big Deal, I was
wondering if we could move them to somewhere folks with wheelchairs can
attend.

But... Severe lack of space, Batman!

I understand the the ballroom isn't always a viable option because having
it reserved every Thursday night isn't opportune. The adjacent rooms are
too small and also not always accessible. La Commune would end up with the
meeting constantly being interrupted and the acoustics aren't great for a
meeting.

Using sudo/CCL might work (cc'ing sudo on this) but then it shuts down
sudo/CCL's ability to have events at this time *and* means people have to
stop hacking.

Another option would be to try and kind of "live cast" the meeting
somewhere else in the building that's accessible, but that brings up two
concerns: weirdly removing disabled folks from the meeting itself into a
kind of segregation, and privacy concerns surrounding recording.

Now that the delegates meeting is only every other week, maybe it is
feasible to have it in the ballroom, and then if we need the ballroom for
something else try and find another space in the building that's wheelchair
accessible before defaulting to the basement.
