Doing photography, does anyone want to be a model for me?

by rusty lindgren

Hey everyone, Doing some art, and I need models. Would be a lot of fun. I would also provide some food. I know some people pay models for this kind of work, but this isn't something I want to sell... It's just an experiment. Let me know if you're interested. -- Cheers, Rusty **

Re: [sudo-discuss] Lockers: question: how many & how big?

I cleaned out several cubbies, print a label from http://track.space.local when you're in the space and use one. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "Andrew" <andrew(a)roshambomedia.com> To: "Georgio510" <georgio510(a)sbcglobal.net> Cc: "sudo-discuss" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Lockers: question: how many & how big? Date: Tue, Jun 4, 2013 8:06 AM Bolt cutters can bypass most pad locks. Schools keep them around for this reason. Security is part technical and part human. Really they don't even entirely need locks (like the member shelves at Noisebridge) locks just make it obvious that the stuff is off limits. As far as where to put them. Maybe clear out under the enlarger, or clear out the stuff along the wall opposite the shelves in the closet. there are a few abandoned projects, and big, unusable items that we could get rid off. -- -------Andrew LoweCell: 831-332-2507http://roshambomedia.com

Lockers: question: how many & how big?

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

YOs- Re. the locker topic, how many lockers do we want, how big should they be inside, and how much floor space do we have for them? I know someone who might be able to help with this, and it would be good to know exactly what we're looking for. -G.

Fwd: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience

by Matthew Senate

I'm generally interested in building bridges to the local sustainability, urban ecological, and permacultural groups in the area. This seems like one opportunity of potentially many to extend the sudo community and create resilience through interdependence or overlap in membership. Hoping someone plans to inquire with the folks below! // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Youtt <jyoutt(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 1:54 PM Subject: [spaghettinight] East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience To: spaghettinight(a)tentacle.net Greeting Spaghetti Night folks, I am writing to you from PLACE for Sustainable Living,( http://aplaceforsustainableliving.org) - a collectively managed community center focused on teaching urban sustainable skills. We have been around for just over 2 years and look forward to hosting a spaghetti night soon, but in the meanwhile, we wanted to alert you all about an opportunity that has come up in our little urban eco-village. Please read below and forward along to any friends that may fit the description. We look forward to meeting some of you at a future dinner. With gratitude, Jonathan East Bay Urban Eco-Village Seeking a new Facilities Manager with building/fix-it experience Who We Are We are a cooperative urban eco-village formed around the creation and management of a sustainability focused community center located on a 10,000 sq ft property in North Oakland. We are looking for new members who are interested in a cooperative living situation that is focused on shared food, shared work on the property & gardens, and managing the educational center focused on urban sustainability. There are a number of areas to focus on in helping to manage the center. . Maybe you don’t need a spot to land but just want to plug-in in some way. There are many ways to work with us as coordinators, volunteers, seasonal help in the areas of general administration, education, events and facilities. We are currently looking for another stable community member, hopefully with collective experiences such as: co-op living, community projects, food justice, permaculture or regenerative design. We are an dynamic group who believe in and are committed to the vision of a public serving and sustainability focused community center.

We have a 600 sq ft shop space, a 400 sq ft bike shack and a 1300 sq ft barn which has a kitchen, office, dining area, living room, and shelves stocked with musical instruments and art supplies. The barn transforms into a community space for regular educational workshops, panel discussions, meetings, film nights and musical performances. We have bee hives, a coboven, a rainwater collection system and 3 grey water systems that channel our waste water into our garden and landscaping. Living space available: We currently have one travel trailer available at the beginning of June for the facility manager. It is equipped with a bed, kitchenette, seating area, storage, electricity and other amenities. Monthly cost is between $450 and $600 depending on individual or couple, plus $50 for utilities and another $100-120/month for the shared food/meal plan.

Several cafes are within a few blocks and there are several neighbors who practice homesteading with chickens, ducks, bees etc. What we seek in a roommate: - A compatible & cooperative member would find this project to be a creative opportunity. - You have presence and awareness of yourself and your surroundings - You have a life outside the eco-village, but you aren’t too busy to also participate actively in this community - Someone with integrity and goodwill - You are good natured and down to earth - Good communication skills; Ability to listen with compassion and orientation toward finding solutions to problems or difficulties - ‘Make a difference’ attitude: are you an activist? are you trying to improve the lives of others as well as your own? are you aware of your impact on the world and your immediate household and community, working to reduce your ecological footprint? Do you care about your nutrition and attend to your physical well being? - Financial stability for rent and bills, a must - Ability to participate in regular meetings that are consensus based Who we are: Currently men and women from our late-20's to mid-50's, whose activities and background include social and environmental justice activism, visual and sacred artist/maker, puppeteer, homesteading enthusiasts, herbalist, cooking, permaculture, renewable energy, appropriate technology, organizing events and workshops, sewing and crafts, and more.

Robbed at gunpoint.

by GtwoG PublicOhOne

YOs- James and I got robbed at gunpoint, right outside the side entrance, at about 2:45AM on Saturday 01 June. Nothing like thinking that you & a friend are about to die, to screw up an otherwise great night. No injuries, just terror. The guy wanted our cellphones. Lucky us, I don't have one and James had left his upstairs. He got our wallets. It could have been worse, he could have killed both of us. OK, time for the kick-myself-in-the-arse maneuver, for not having gone inside the moment we saw an unknown guy walking down the street toward us late at night. I should know better, hell I _do_ know better, but my safety-sense was down just long enough for the robber to get close enough to pull the gun, and the rest as they say, isn't history, just another statistic that got personal. QUESTION: HOW DO WE GET THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS FROM OUR BUILDING AND THE ONE NEXTDOOR? Peace, love, and safety y'all- -G.

sudodoor buzzer keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute, someone left the door open

by Romy Ilano

- sudodoor keeps buzzing the door open every 1 minute. - someone propped the door open... i'm sure no ill intent intended. whoever did it, please don't do this, we agreed to keep the door closed - someone wrote in chalk in front of the sudodoor. whoever did it, please don't do this because we have an agreement with our landlord not to write in chalk on the sidewalk. ( a cheezy sf vodka company was writing lots of commercial graffit in front of our door )
