hey all,
i am excited to move forward on the federated model! I see another
stage of growth happening for sudo room. I wonder if working on the
model, and courting new users/groups, might not be slightly different
tasks, though.
I would dearly like to be part of a meeting that works on the model. I
am already running a hackerspace that would indeed like to federate with
other groups. I've got a lot of experience managing cooperative group
projects, industrial and commercial facilities, and holding commercial
leases, and think I have some things to add to the conversation. The
day and time chosen here, unfortunately, is one where I have to be at
the Coyote space, maintaining our normal hours. Weekend daytime hours
are very hard for me, and for this reason I was sad to miss out on
working on the compact as well. My suggestion would be to do some of
this on weekday evenings, maybe over a few mondays or wednesdays? Coyote
won't relocate for at least 6 months (probably 9), so i will acknowledge
we might not be in as much of a hurry as other folks.
