Hey all, I'm working on a series of upgrades for the website. Testing out a new wordpress theme and event management / calendaring plugin on our development site. Please take a look: http://dev.sudoroom.org/ I plan to have www.sudoroom.org direct users to a landing page on this site, with clear donation and calendar information, rather than directing them to the wiki (as it does now). I'll also need a few people to help migrate content, is anyone interested? No coding skills required, just copying old event information into the new event form so we can preserve the historical data. // Matt

Fwd: Price calculations

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I had sent this out to the Omni Logistics group earlier. If anyone would like me to go over any of this at the meeting this evening, let me know... Patrik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 5:44 AM Subject: Price calculations To: omnilogistics(a)lists.riseup.net Hi all, I've fleshed out my rate calculations for $/sqft of dedicated space, and for use of the shared space. Details are in my spreadsheet and on the wiki: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Building#Price.2FSq_Ft https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17DINigEczGwjfTdmdxl-MpYe1KJzJJDeCHR… There's a lot of details, but in the end it boils down to (1) you pay a fixed rate for any dedicated space you'd like to claim (including storage space etc.), and (2) you pay some "share" towards use of the resources of the shared space. I know, this is a big departure from the "offer what you can afford, and ask for whatever space you'd like" approach we've been taking so far. But I do feel we need something like this, to make our pricing scheme fair and transparent. Two big discrepancies, when comparing with how much rent different groups have pledged: - The Cafe covers a large amount of high-quality space - and should be a potential money-maker for the space. However, right now it's only penciled in as contributing $1500 to the rent. - Oakland Nights Live wants to host a large event in the Ballroom once a month, but have only committed to $100 in rent so far. I definitely don't want to pick on these two groups, and I would love to see these be part of the Omni. But it does point out that we need to work with them to make sure that what they propose makes financial sense as well. E.g. If we put a bit more effort into fundraising during the Oakland Nights Live events (even just asking for donations, and/or selling T-shirts), there's no reason we couldn't make these self-sufficient.

Important Sudo meeting tonight

by Yar

Things are happening very quickly and tonight's Sudoroom meeting is going to be important. If you are interested in the process of our move or reboot, or have feelings and opinions about any of it, coming to this meeting would be a good idea. Counter-Culture Labs will also be meeting at the same space and there will be opportunities (like last week) for us to talk together about the many details involved in potentially sharing the space at the Omni. P.S. Cross-posting to sudo-announce, but please only reply on sudo-discuss.

New Sudo Room Website

by Matthew Senate

https://sudoroom.org/ We have a new calendar system that allows for booking events. This has always been a struggle with sudo room activities. However, we have not yet made the transition to this new system as we need a bit of volunteer help to groom events from the old system. Let me know if you could lend a hand. // Matt

LocalWiki needs a new home.

by Marina Kukso

Hi Everyone, <http://localwiki.org/> LocalWiki <http://localwiki.org>, the nonprofit that helps grow community-based wikis like Oakland Wiki <http://oaklandwiki.org> (which started and is based out of sudo), is moving. We're a very tiny nonprofit (only two of us on staff) and we're looking for donated office space (really just two desks). If you know anyone with spare office space who might be interested in hosting us, please contact us! We're pretty happy to go anywhere in the Bay Area. Best, Marina Kukso Managing Director, LocalWiki <http://localwiki.org>

proposed costs-sharing spreadsheet for the omni collective

by Jake

i made a spreadsheet to calculate proportional cost sharing for a space with private and common space: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AktkZZru71ymdEFUSUtCSnQ5TXFfaE… anyone with the link above can edit the spreadsheet. please feel free to make changes to get a feel for how it works, but put things back with undo unless you've made improvements. feel free to fork it by making your own copy of it, either on google drive or by downloading it as a file and playing with it in a program such as libreoffice. the way it works is that you start by entering in the total monthly costs that the omni collective is going to need to come up with. Like many things in life, this number is something we can't directly control so we enter it in as a given. the next info we enter are the various rooms/spaces that we predict might become sectioned off for non-common uses. We enter the dimensions or square footage of those rooms and the other numbers change to reflect the proportion of total space used by those rooms / subcollectives / groups. the other thing we can adjust is the "percentage of costs shared equally" because simply using the actual percentage of space that is not private may not result in equitable costs-sharing among the groups. So while actual percentage is calculated and displayed, the number we use to calculate cost sharing is something you can type in whatever you want. I put in 40% to see what it would come up with. do you think this is helpful? -jake

omni layouts

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, Just posted a draft floor plan proposal to the Omni email lists, which needs vast improvement, you can see it here: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Floorplan#Proposals I also wanted to share a sketch of what CCL and Sudo Room could do with the bocce ball court in order to contain the CCL lab areas, ensure they are dust free and secure, and connect to the existing plumbing and water lines. I suggest CCL enclose two rooms and use a staircase to turn the roof of the rooms into a lounge. The rest of the space would contain sudo room. Curious to hear what ya'll think! http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Bocce_ball_court // Matt
