[sudo-discuss] Fwd: The Omni

[niki]

While I am not opposed to the idea of staying at 2141, I think it's a great
for us to take a look at what's out there and, at the very least, explore
the possibility of moving somewhere that's better suited to our collective
projects.

To be honest, the thought of becoming any more entangled with George (ie:
the co-op scenario) sounds like a real nightmare.

It would be great if we could compile a list of needs, etc. in order to
guide us in the search for potential new spaces that are a good fit for
everyone. Has something like this already been started?
