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!
Thursday March 4th 7-9pm https://meet.google.com/diw-hszw-msr or
515-428-1108 (PIN: 465 814 905)

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.

Hello Jake,
There is previous literature:
- https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.4218/etrij.10.0109.0695
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0379711206000142
for using image processing to detect wildfires. This could definitely be
implemented alongside with physical sensors to create an early detection
system.

Hi there,
Is this project still maintained? Trying to install some of the available
firmwares on newer hardware (TPLINk Archer a7) and nothing seems to be
working.
I was able to successfully install openWRT but was curious if you had tips
or ways to install the sudomesh dependencies on this?
Thanks,
- Rob C.
I don't know if this is the right list for disaster.radio but I want to involve
everyone who might be interested.
In California we have a serious forest fire issue. It would be nice to go back
in time and not burn a bunch of carbon, but that ship has sailed and while
things might be okay on a more geological timescale, I personally like
breathing and my friends do too.
So we need a forest fire detection system that can pinpoint forest fires as
soon as they start (whether because of a flicked …
[View More]cigarette or a lightning
strike or an ember floating on the wind from a campfire) so that we have a hope
of putting them out before they grow out of control.
Presently, by the time a fire is detected, it's often large enough that humans
can't do anything about it except spend tons of money on trying to protect the
houses of people who live out in the woods. That might be nice for the people
who live there but it doesn't do anything for the people who have to breathe
smoke for an entire season, and of course the carbon impacts on weather
patterns are a big factor as well.
So i'm calling for a group of us to partner with state agencies for funding and
information, and figure out how out mesh networking and hardware/software
skills can be put to use to try to improve the situation. I'm picturing
something like Disaster Radio nodes installed as a mesh in the woods, with
smoke detection and wind direction/speed sensors, and maybe humidity and
temperature as well. They will flow that data upstream to larger nodes that
can link back to forest service buildings or towers, where that data can be
monitored for signs that a fire is starting.
Please loop in people who you think might be interested in making this happen.
I really think it would need at least one lead person for grantwriting and
organizing; hardware and software skills are useless without the means to make
things happen, as well as the legitimacy required to interface with agencies
like the forest services that will actually be using this system to fight
fires.
