[sudoroom] meeting minutes

[Marina Kukso]

hi everyone,

i'd like to get started planning the mythical summit of the
clans<http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=466544> on
Oct. 27th wherein we bring together different groups who may be interested
in being a part of a federated sudoroom.

i know we all felt a lack of google docs, so i've taken the liberty of
creating a new one that will help us determine interest and needs of the
folks who will be coming to the event:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApmrUsz7z5DodFhzN2FnS0haek1wU1BNY0FoVEpva0E&pli=1#gid=0
please
modify the doc if i've forgotten any key questions.

a few things:

   - i know i want to call it the summit of the
clans<http://www.uscoscots.org/>,
   but others may have other ideas. what should the event be called?
   - it would be great to have the space open for people to tour - eddan,
   any word from george on whether we can have it open on Oct. 27th? (we'd
   also like to be able to go up there and take pictures to send around before
   the event)
   - i've added a couple groups who may potentially be interested - if you
   know any others, please feel free to add them.

Here's a draft invitation letter:

"Sudo Room, a new hacker/creativespace in downtown Oakland, is rapidly
outgrowing its current space at 2135 Broadway. We have an opportunity to
move into a much larger space in the same building, but the space is too
large (exact size?) for our current needs. We are interested in determining
whether there are other groups who may be interested in being a part of a
federated space and sharing the burden of the monthly rent.

If you are interested in meeting with others to tour the space, determine
needs, and discuss details, please join us for a [*SUMMIT OF THE CLANS*] on
Oct. 27th at noon. If you have time, we encourage you to take a look at
this google doc (
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApmrUsz7z5DodFhzN2FnS0haek1wU1BNY0FoVEpva0E&pli=1#gid=0)
which
will allow you to enter in details of the kind of space you would be
interested in, the size of the space your group would require, the amount
of rent your group would be able to afford, etc.

Do let us know if you're interested - we'd love to see how we can all work
together to build a community of collaboration in Oakland."

all thoughts welcome,
marina
