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 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

Dear all,
eQualitie is seeking an experienced networking software engineer for
DevOps and infrastructure automation duties. We’re looking for someone
who knows how to build and manage cloud services with an emphasis on
FOSS solutions that we run _in-house_ <https://github.com/equalitie/>.
Our new colleague shares the company’s _values_
<https://equalit.ie/values/> and is ready to play an important role in
protecting freedom of expression and association on the Internet. In
turn, you will get exposure to and a say in the design of current and
future _defensive _ <https://deflect.ca/solutions/>_web
<https://deflect.ca/solutions/> technologies_ and _decentralized
solutions_ <https://github.com/censorship-no> for avoiding Internet
censorship, as well as personal satisfaction that your contributions
create real change for people around the world.
*Job Description*
You will work across tight-knit project teams and interface between
software developers and systems operations. Your primary
responsibilities will include building and tuning tools to improve
network availability, service performance and censorship resilience. You
will introduce common systems and processes for a variety of in-house
technologies, spanning DDoS mitigation, a clearinghouse for anomalous
network behaviour and a decentralized peer-to-peer web caching network.
You will take an “automate everything” approach, introducing and
improving automation, orchestration and monitoring tooling across the board.
*About you*
You love dashboards and hate network latency. You understand the
building blocks of the Internet and are familiar with its core
protocols, including decentralized networking. You value
infrastructure-as-code systems and believe in prototyping, fine-tuning
software configurations and performance monitoring as the primary ways
to improve an Internet- reliant product or service. You have a depth of
knowledge, experience and a passion for Internet technologies that allow
you to learn new systems relatively quickly. Also, you will have:
* Excellent Linux administration skills, performance- tuning and
server hardening;
* Demonstrable experience deploying and managing technology using
Ansible, Docker and/or Kubernetes;
* Experience with data engineering, analysis, visualization of web
traffic and network statistics (e.g. Kibana, Grafana, Icinga,
Prometheus, etc);
* Experience in network programming (HTTP, TCP/IP, UDP) with knowledge
of peer-to-peer (BitTorrent) technologies a strong asset;
* Familiarity with coding in Python (with Go and/or C++ experience a
strong asset);
* An active appreciation for reading and writing documentation!
*Now, a little bit about us…*

Reach out to me if you'd like to know more! I've had a great time
working with this team over the past 9 months, and am looking forward to
expanding the team :)
Warmly,
Hi all,
I've drafted an agenda for the next Sudo Mesh meeting - which will be a
covid/summer hiatus reboot meeting! Juul and I will both be back from
summer family visits by then. It would be great to reboot and figure out
next steps for the org and the project as a whole. Perhaps we could even
meet in-person, ideally outdoors..
This is mostly a template, with my throwing action items on there as
they come up. Please feel welcome to add discussion and other agenda
items here: https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/notes
The meeting will be at 7:30pm via https://meet.jit.si/sudomesh2020 -
please reply to this thread if you intend to come, and also feel welcome
to host next week's meetup at the same time and place if you have the
spoons (as it's still listed on our website as weekly recurring, and we
may well be missing new folx) :)
Love,
--

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
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.
