[sudo-discuss] Fwd: Oakland NeXt at the Omni

[Ryan]

What are you currently doing of what you plan to do? In other words, what
is Oakland NeXt right now, versus where you would like Oakland NeXt to be?

How does Oakland NeXt fit in with the Omni's anti-capitalist values,
especially considering it is offering things like "marketing training," and
"merchandise production?"

How large is Oakland NeXt currently?

What kind of background do those doing Oakland NeXt's "training" have?

What will Oakland NeXt get out of being a member collective that it could
not get through booking the space?

Oakland NeXt has repeatedly talked about putting cameras around the
building as "cyber security." Not only does this not mesh with our values,
but it doesn't mesh with many commonly accepted definitions of "cyber
security." In order to be completely clear, can you clearly define the
"buzz words" used in your proposal?

You talk about profit sharing. Is Oakland NeXt a non-profit organization or
a for-profit company?

You say that you will be "more than able to contribute to the overall rent
of the Omni." How much will you be able to contribute? Is this statement
based a projection of funds without historical data support, or does
Oakland NeXt already have a funding stream?

When you say you want the basement study room, do you mean that you want it
as dedicated space, or just when you have meetings?
