I'm working on it, thanks
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. :)

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.

It'll be around until it's gone. There's not many people here so far. :)
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
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.

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!
