Hi sudo meshers!
It's been a while since we've all hung out.
A lot has changed and many of us are in different places both mentally and
physically since sudo mesh was last properly active.
That being said I feel like we still all have things that are exciting to
us relating to decentralized internet things. Maybe some old projects
should be officially shelved. Maybe people have ideas for new things they'd
like to hack on.
Let's meet up and talk about what we are excited about and what we …
[View More]want for
the future. If nothing else we can at least decide on a recurring time to
hang out and hack on cool stuff together.
Here are a few options for when to meet:
https://doodle.com/poll/kbmffxz6i2aib9wg?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
The hangout will be both in person at Omni and online simultaneously.
Remember that masks are required at Omni at all times. I don't believe Omni
requires vaccines but sudo room and CCL both do while sudo mesh has no
policy so I'll just personally request that people don't show up in person
if they aren't vaccinated.

Subject: [omni-consensus] OMNI NEEDS LEGAL OFFICERS
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Please forward to your groups and collectives - Omni Commons is
seeking candidates in our officer election for 3 positions: president,
treasurer and secretary.
At minimum, folks in these positions need to have their names filed
with the California secretary of …
[View More]state and be available to
occasionally sign things.
At best, folks in these positions would join the finance working group
to take an active role in administrative paperwork, writing checks,
paying bills and so forth. An active treasurer would enable us to have
separation of powers between the bookkeeper and the money spender, for
example.
Your primary interactions would probably be with finance wg members -
currently me, Sarah Lockhart, John Torok, and occasionally Silver.
Like all community members, you'd be encouraged (but not required) to
attend delegates meetings on 1st and 3rd Thursdays.
As soon as we get enough interested candidates, we will hold an
election to get delegate approval.
Thanks,
Yar

Hey sudomesh crew!
Just a quick update that I have filed the 990 e-postcard (990-N) and the
199-N for Sudo Mesh's federal and state 2020 tax requirements, respectively.
Financial reports covering 2020 are attached, and I'll update the github
shortly, also.
I'll leave discussions of generally rebooting to their own threads (on
mesh(a)lists.sudoroom.org) - at the least there are some Omni proposals to
consider. :)
We are timely in our contribs to Omni, but I need to double check we've
…
[View More]been contributing to Sudo Room.
Sudo Room is strapped for $$ right now - a grant from Sudo Mesh to Sudo
Room is a proposal I've been considering making. But for the moment -
getting Sudo Mesh caught up on due diligence, and rebooting activity
generally, are my priorities.. (others more than welcome to start those
threads tho!)
Love,
Jenny

I am adding some Omni Commons groups to this.
Hopefully we can get more folks involved with Commons Working Group as
potential for physical opening (?) gets closer.
Or at least host virtual events for more financial support ?
Get new voices and perspectives in the mix.
I'll start attending soon especially in connection to North Oakland Mutual
Aid
Free Store aspects.

Anyone want to put a few minutes into applying on behalf of Omni and/or

You're always working on such humanitarian tech projects! I just found

thought I'd link you to it; DigitalOcean is putting money (in the form of

hello,
hope ur well. just wanted to give you all a heads up that there's a dept of
justice letter that's been in the sudo mesh mailbox at omni for a little

hi,

for 2020 tax purposes, could someone please tell me who sudo mesh's

Hello Omni folks,
How are ya’ll doing? We hope everyone is doing ok.
It’s been a while since we’ve put out an Omni newsletter, almost a year has
gone by since our last one! A lot has happened between then and now, so it
would be nice to catch up. We’re thinking of putting out the next
newsletter by the end of March, so we want to invite Omni collectives and
Omni folks to share updates, thoughts, art, feelings, ideas with us, so we
can include them in the Omni Commoner.
There is a lot to talk about. We are still in the grips of a deadly
pandemic which has undeniably exacerbated the ills of capitalism and its
deadly effects on our community. But Omni folks and Omni Collectives have
organized and actively continued to support the community during this
crisis. We are stewarding a town fridge, the North Oakland Mutual Aid
Project is going strong, Acta Non Verba has adopted Phat Beets’ CSA, and
the rest of Omni collectives continue to do empowering work out in the
community. The working groups are meeting, some regularly and other
sometime, the finance/fundraising working group though has been at the
forefront doing the important work of keeping the Omni alive, critical
work, which we are all grateful for! There is much more going on for sure,
this is not even mentioning the different individual projects Omni folks
are working on!
It has been a rough year, but with the spirit of collectivity, the Omni
continues to be a hub for community collective action during this pandemic.
It is this we would like to share in this newsletter =].
So if you want to share anything with the Omni community please do! Art,
thoughts, visions, desires, anything!
We are asking from each collective to submit 1-4 paragraphs providing an
update of the work ya’ll have been doing. Below are some suggestions of
questions or topics you can touch on:
-
Updates from your collective. New visions and goals.
-
How your collective has been responding to the covid-19 pandemic.
-
What kind of world do ya’ll imagine post covid-19?
-
Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes,
anything.
-
Upcoming Events
Please send your content to the communications working group email at
comms(a)lists.omnicommons.org, by March 21st.
Like all the other working groups at the Omni, the communications working
group needs more participation. If you are interested in joining please
sign up to the communication working group email list at
https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/comms.
Thank you.
With love and solidarity,
The Communications Working Group

Hi all, I'm not sure what's the best way to contact folks in Sudo Mesh
For legal reasons, every omni collective needs to have 1 member
formally represented on the Omni Commons executive board. Right now
Sudo Mesh appears to not be represented by anybody, because we haven't
updated our bylaws since you joined as a member collective. Could you
all figure out who you want on Omni's board? We are hoping to have a
formal meeting to update Omni's bylaws this Thursday. It would be
great if Sudo Mesh …
[View More]could send a delegate to this meeting!

Thank you both for your replies to my original message:
Subject: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
I didn't see your responses because I had the mesh list turned off, but now
that i've seen them i'm really grateful! I will look into the links you sent.
I want to mention that you both have "digest mode" enabled, so you're getting a
single email per day of the mesh traffic. That works great for lists with more
than one message per day, but when you reply, you should edit the subject …
[View More]so
it's not something like:
Subject: [Mesh] mesh Digest, Vol 96, Issue 2
for those wondering what i'm talking about, search the archives for the above
subject here:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/mesh/2021-February/date.html
the right way to manually reply to a subject is to put "Re: " before the
original subject, for example:
Re: [Mesh] forest fire early detection system
thanks again! I will look through what you both sent.
