Yay! Let's learn a whole lot. Please share a link when it's confirmed so I can promote wildly.

I love the bees and I think it would be an honor to be swarmed by them! We hosted them at 2141 once, and now my house has one of their giant murals. I think it would also be a great opportunity to buy some art for the Omni's walls. :) _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

embroidery machine

by Jake

i am getting this tonight and bringing it to sudoroom: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/for/4720950374.html this means we will be able to create patches / badges like these: http://lh4.ggpht.com/rs1rFsFSIMEgzOJgnh5z5Lv12zs6qGqahWOZ8sov37J3BTjIh4AnPI… and these: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w1FQOQQUSek/URNFHl9RmKI/AAAAAAAAB7Y/w6D29bd5SMc/s… but our first ones will probably look more like these (one color): http://cdn.overclock.net/9/9b/9b624ff4_030.jpeg it's made for manual operation, with a physical guide that you move the lever through a "stencil" thing, but we can make fancier designs by 3d-printing "stencils" to guide it through. We can also just hook the fucker up to the robot arm and have it "steer" the machine through any pattern we want. -jake

please use found soldering equip. and working laptop

by eric james Anderson

Found a box of soldering supplies and dropped it off at Sudo, along with a working laptop suffering from minor mechanical issues. The screen-spring is unhinged, requiring it to be leaned against something, but it'd make a decent, maybe a public terminal. -- Eric Anderson 206.295.1751 Oakland Local Archive <http://oaklandlocal.com/author/amasym/>

Too much free food, please come eat it :)

by yar

There is this fancy food startup in San Francisco which donates a meal for every meal purchased: https://munchery.com/how-it-works/ Apparently "we provide a meal for someone in need" means their truck drives around various places in Oakland until it's empty. And the Omni has become the truck's last stop, which means this will happen every Saturday. I counted 150+ packaged meals this run. We may supplement this feast with an impromptu screening of Slavoj Zizek about "the surprising ethical implications of charitable giving": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpAMbpQ8J7g

solid-ink printer for printing circuits

by Jake

sudoroom needs a wax-ink printer for printing circuits onto this copper-clad material i have. noisebridge had a couple of them that almost worked, but apparently they threw them out. lame. so if you know where to get one for sudo, bring it in and we'll usher in an era of electronic hackery unseen in history. basically, like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Flexible-Printed-Circuits/?ALLSTEPS unfortunately the process doesn't work with a laser printer, so we need a wax printer. http://origin.arstechnica.com/journals/hardware.media/nr_Xerox_Phaser8860.j… http://www.northwoodcomputers.net/image/cache/data/8570dn-500x500.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_ink

They are no longer welcome at Noisebridge. FYI, I was looking through the Noisebridge wiki history and found these 3 edits: https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=34442 https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=37451 https://noisebridge.net/index.php?title=AskedToLeave&diff=next&oldid=37452 They're all from the same IP address within 10 minutes of each other. The first two erase a record of Pigeon being asked to leave, and the third adds a record about Pigeon asking somebody else to leave. I'm not sure who made those edits or what it means, but it seems pretty weird so I thought I should mention it.

pidgeon (human) trying to squat sudoroom / the omni

by Jake

last night (sunday) as the last of us were getting ready to leave after a long day of BACH, i noticed that Pidgeon was sitting alone in CCL with headphones in and using a laptop. [pidgeon prefers the pronoun "they" but it is a single person] knowing that this person made trouble at noisebridge in the past, and assuming that they were trying to squat the omni, i went up and gave notice that "we are getting ready to leave and close up" and Pidgeon took the hint and started packing up their backpack... twenty minutes later pidgeon was still slowly gathering things together to get ready to leave.. it was annoyingly obvious that they were trying to delay leaving so that I would leave first and they could stay. tonight, Korl mentioned that Pidgeon was present but did not seem to be anyone's guest, and I agreed that they were here without anyone's sponsorship of any kind. A person with no member-sponsor present can be asked to leave for no reason, but before doing that I went to speak with others present about the situation. No one present claimed Pidgeon as their guest, or objected to asking them to leave. I mentioned this to marc and started posting the following to irc: https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2014-February/042… https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-October/0399… a minute later marc returned from a "sweep" of the building and found Pidgeon in a downstairs room with the door pulled shut, getting comfortable, lying on their belly listening to music. Marc asked if they were part of a collective, Pidgeon said they were not, and Marc said that we are not open to the public and asked them to leave. please be aware that people are already trying to squat the omni and it will only get more intense. I have no patience for this because I feel that the omni is more valuable to us as a community space, shared for all, rather than a big building to be turned into private quarters for the few who care little enough about their community to do something like that. Noisebridge regularly has problems with people sleeping on top of the elevator, above the loft areas, and in the basement of the building, and their building is not nearly as cavernous and expansive as ours. -jake

Funds!! Share this link: https://gratipay.com/omnicommons

by Jenny Ryan

If everyone on these lists gave a couple of bucks a week and at the least, shared this link, we could collectively boost regular funds to Omni to offset the cost of rent, utilities, taxes, building improvements, et al! Please donate and share, even $1 a week adds up! https://gratipay.com/omnicommons/ Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
