[dcw] Preliminary report on 423 L

[James R Holliday]

Steve,

Nice recon work.  I'd love to see some pictures when you get a chance.

This puts us at a decision.  I can't imagine this space staying
available for too long, so if we want to grab it we might need to move
quickly(ish).  There are three issues at play:

1/ We agreed last meeting to move forward on the downtown space.  Jordan
(I think) has already contacted the property manager.  Do we want to
reverse that decision?

2/ Do we have enough support to cover the proposed rent.  It's about
$900 a month, with no grace period.  If there are 20 of us, that's $45.
 Definitely doable, but only if there are 20 of us...  Would there be
1st/last month and utilities deposit?

3/ Are we willing to commit to 3 months on this type of financial
experiment?

I think we should try to reach (another) decision at the next meeting.
I don't want to push into the downtown space if the group's heart isn't
in it.  On the flip side, I want us to move into *a* location soon so I
can start approaching other companies (Mori Seiki, Intel, Home Depot,
etc) for possible grants and donations.

James
