[sudo-discuss] Proposal to Galvanize

[Andrew]

Just to put in my 2c about Omni. I went to visit the space today and it is
amazing! I would love to see it fall in to the hands of collectives. My
sense from talking to people there is that there is a huge amount of
interest in the space, but apprehension about getting enonugh collectives
willing or able to take action in coming months to make it a reality.

As far as 2141 is concerned, personally I don't think 2141 will ever by the
right home for Sudo Room. The fights with the landlord, the "common" space
issues and general expense of the building makes it a poor long term space
for a collective. Again, just my opinion.
