[sudo-discuss] Is upstairs "public" computer lab considered part of Sudo Room ?

Also, while Sudo Room members may have set up this area in 2014, the 
area is and has always been Commons and not Sudo Room's 'jurisdiction' 
(which is also by and large common space). The same could be said for 
about every square foot of Omni, to be honest. This is not an issue that 
can be shuffled onto a specific collective - in particular one that 
doesn't really exist in full anymore, primarily because the most 
involved members of Sudo Room became rapidly subsumed by the larger Omni 
project pretty much off the bat (and most of them have left or burnt out 
at this point). If there are issues with particular users of the space, 
this needs to be brought up with them directly and, failing that, 
brought through our conflict resolution process.

Open to creative solutions, though, if anyone wants to suggest?
