Nobody wants to dig through this for a couple of reasons:
1) We have no good alternative lined up if we truly piss somebody off
and get all our rooms yanked.
"We" being SDCS or KPLUG?
Um, yes. ;)
2) Nobody is willing to invest the time to create a better relationship
with somebody equivalent or higher in the SDCOE chain.
The effort seems likely to piss somebody off.
That's not necessarily true. SDCS probably really should take the time
to do this. A better working relationship is always a good thing. And
SDCS probably does have something to offer SDCOE, but both sides would
have to take some time and engage in order to figure out what and how to
go about it. Unfortunately, this means that someone has to take some
time off during the workday and go hunt down some folks in SDCOE.
As always, getting the volunteer is the hard part.
3) SDCOE really doesn't want to deal with us at all, thank you very
much. They don't get any money from us and yet have to invest some
(fairly small) amount of time dealing with us.
Is there no mechanism for (token) payments?
No, and not even for reasonable ones. At one point, someone mentioned
that we offered to either pay for or replace the light bulb in the LCD
projector, but nobody wanted it. Presumably, it was too much work to
find the correct channels/paperwork for such a small amount of money.
