Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] Proposal to mitigate issues with building
To: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com>
These proposals strike me as practical, feasible, and necessary.
Perhaps more importantly, they also seem to embody a very do-ocratic
response to the recent issues. They won't make all the issues suddenly
disappear, but are a huge step in the right direction.

If anyone has some thoughts/ideas about the Oakland Tool Lending Library, especially in regards to the possibilities for an attached community center/maker space - let me know.

> As I mentioned on our call yesterday, the library administrator and the office of At Large City Council Member Rebecca Kaplan have agreed to work with the Friends of the Tool Lending Library toward making a budget request from the City Council in January for a one-time expenditure to fund the expansion, or expansion and relocation, of the Tool Lending Library (TLL), in order to resolve the long-standing space, access and capacity issues with the TLL.

> To do that, we will need a concrete proposal (with budget numbers) that (1) addresses the current and future needs of the TLL (and possibly a community classroom/work space), and (2) identifies a specific City building (assuming a move) and the work necessary to make it ready to house the TLL.
>
> I along with some other members of the Friends of the Tool Lending Library are taking the lead on drafting a report that identifies the TLL's current and future needs and priorities, gathers community input, and makes a strong case for why we need to increase access and capacity.
>
> The library administration will work with the City's Real Estate Department to identify a space based on the criteria we have provided previously (1200-1500 square feet at ground level for easy access, with parking and reasonably close to a freeway and transit lines), and determine the cost of readying that space.
>
> One of the ways we could increase the value of this resource without necessarily increasing initial or ongoing costs to the City would be to relocate to a space large enough to accommodate an expanded TLL (1200-1500 square feet), and also a complimentary space that could house a community classroom and/or a community work space/maker space. My thinking is that the latter operation might be run by a non-profit organization, rather than the City (which presumably does not have the resources to take on and manage a work space).

Proposal #1 - access/security:
New security policy:
The last person to leave SUDO/BAPS area, or the last person in the area,
will:
- Check all 2nd floor bathrooms, hallways and stairs. (The person
bottomlining any BAPS class that gets out in the evenings, should always do
this before leaving, even if there are still people at SUDO.)
- Make sure the rear stairwell door is deadbolted.
- Ask anyone you don't personally recognize who they are and what they are
up to. This is a great way to maintain a welcoming space.
- If you are bottomlining an event, make sure you are the last one of those
attending to leave, or an appropriate SUDO/BAPS member is there.
New / fix security infrastructure:
- Expand intercom/door-buzz system for the 2 other tenants that rely on
22nd st, as we have done at SUDO.
- Fix the keypad system: fabricate a chassis for the unit, secure it and
all cabling up off the ground to the wall, and patch whatever software may
be malfunctioning on the unit. (Who set this up?)
- Make 22nd St entrance cam feed accessible to the other 2 building tenants.
- Top-of-stairs door adjacent to the bathrooms: Modify/replace door handle
lockset to one which always locks - ie, is always locked from the outside,
but always openable from the inside, and cannot be left unlocked unless it
is propped open. In addition, install a door-closer at the top of the door.
- Install a Public School phone or second line to sudo phone: 510-858-7145
Note with the above changes, SUDO/BAPS folks will always use the elevator.
Everyone else, such as the other tenants on the 2nd floor that use the 22nd
st entrance, will buzz people in via the intercom, then walk to the
top-of-the-stairs door near the bathrooms, and let people in. And the 22nd
St door will remain locked most all of the time.
Proposal #2 - Cleanliness in shared areas.
- Before any big events at SUDO/BAPS, whoever is bottomlining the event
should stock the bathrooms with extra TP. I am going to ask Laurie to pay
for the TP or include it in our utilities etc., and that it be stored in a
space we can get to.
- After any big events, the persons bottomlining it check the bathrooms
before leaving
- empty the trash, take the trash bag and the key to the trashroom/roll-up
door in the alley, empty it, and put in a fresh bag. There are two keys for
the trash room, one in SUDO room and one in BAPS (both hanging on a hook on
the wall.) Trash bags are found under the sink in the common area, as well
as in SUDO room. Note there are also small bags for the compost containers.
- replace any missing / run-out TP

Who's a little crazy about wiki?
Next week there will be a "Wiki Wednesday" at the Wikimedia Foundation
offices in SF (right by BART). Details:
http://eekim.com/blog/2013/09/wikiwednesday-in-san-francisco-state-of-the-w…
Wiki Wednesdays are typically social events for people who are active with
wikis, interested in how they can be used, etc.
It would be great to see Sudo Room people there!
Also, if anybody is subscribed to the Noisebridge list, please cross-post
there. The last Wiki Wednesday I did was at Noisebridge, and people seemed
very interested.
Pete
Anybody interested in restarting morning math? I live a lot closer now and
would be able to come regularly. I would love it if we all tackled a
problem/puzzle, or a couple problems depending on peoples experience,
together instead of only doing discussion, maybe rebrand it as Math Dojo.
What are people who are interested schedules' like?
