Up for consenso at next week's sudo meeting! Please share feedback,
suggestions, concerns et al - keep in mind that events sponsored by any
member-group in the Omni receive priority and that the fees are for for
unsponsored events.

Subject: [omni-consensus] proposal for an Omni Rental Policy and Fee
Structure
To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Hey all,
over the past week I drafted a rental policy and fee structure for Omni. It
puts our political vision and values up front.
You can see the 1-page doc here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-7iXSl8oMmNRdeLFfUQ8uSy85FXUccMr09zfpGu…>
and below.
This is a two-part proposal because it introduces a loose rental fee
structure as well as a statement about how we prioritize events aligned
with our vision and values.
For context, this doc builds on shared experiences in booking events (with
Scott, on specific discussions about what Omni is all about prompted by an
event request addressed to Sudo Room from a venture capital firm, and after
researching rates and policies among a half-dozen local venues.
humbly submitted,
Danny
---------
Omni Rental Policy and Fee Structure
The Omni Oakland Commons (“the Omni”) is a collective space to share and
create.
Omni rents our ballroom, basement, and other common area for performances,
celebrations, and other events. Rental revenue funds go towards structural
and logistical improvements of the Omni Commons.
Our rental process and fee structure are intended to make our space
available and accessible to all of Oakland.
Rental Policy
Omni is a political project with clear vision and values. Our vision is an
equitable commoning of resources and meeting of human needs over private
interests or corporate profit. Our values include radical commoning of
space and resources, liberation of knowledge, and transformative justice.
We stand in solidarity with struggles against capitalism, racism,
transmisogyny, and other forms of violence.
As Omni is a commons, we dedicate the majority of the monthly calendar to
events that build our communities. For event rentals, we prioritize
requests from individuals/groups aligned with our vision and values, and we
reserve the right to decline requests from groups that oppose our vision
and values.
Omni considers all event inquiries and booking requests submitted. In
situations where a member group in Omni voices a concern about an event, we
work in good faith with individuals/groups making the booking request to
address any concerns in a mutually-satisfactory way before confirming
events.
Fee Structure
We offer competitive rates for various groups. The fee structure below is
provided as a summary. We evaluate the final fee for each event on a
case-by-case basis, depending on impact on the space.
$300–1,000 per 4 hour rental, Monday through Thursday
$400–1,200 per 4 hour rental, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
Rental time includes setup and cleanup. Additional time adds a fee of
$75–200 per hour.
We are open to exploring custom arrangements for complex events.
Generally, Omni determines rental fees based on the principle “from each
according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.” Specific
factors we consider for each event fee include:
- attendance
- public benefit
- ability to pay and charitable/nonprofit status
- needs for setup, cleanup, and other assistance
- needs for audio/visual equipment, chairs, tables, etc.
- relationship with Omni and/or member groups
We require a 50% deposit three weeks prior to any event. Refund and other
terms are outlined in a separate facility use agreement document.

You're thinking of a different room - we've been calling the former
TIL office the "Kids Room." Backspace is talking about the other room
across from that one, under the staircase, which has BAPS books in it
now.
>From what I understand, they're proposing to have domain over the room
with the understanding that it would be unlocked and usable by other
groups whenever Backspace isn't using it. They want to do renovations
to make it clean and safe enough for bodywork sessions, and the
bodyworkers want to be able to have final say over the layout and
aesthetics of the room.
Arnass Lucassen needs his personal belongings, which DK had been working
on, but since he's stepping back from responsibilities could someone else
help out?? I thought Arnas might have been involved with Sudo somehow and
thought you might all possibly have some familiarity with this situation. I
personally cannot help out with this right now. Read below messages for
further details.

i really dont know the right omni channels through which to shunt the

the solution to david keenan's overwork is not my overwork, or niki's

if anyone is able to help with this, i might be able to contribute some
help, but i absolutely cannot do it by myself.
please backchannel me if you can help with this --

Good afternoon,
The location listed below (as long as they accept FedEx Ground shipments)
that location will be okay for drop off these pieces.
Thank you,

Kristin / Arnas -
At this late point and due to the large pickup timeframe (8am-6pm), I feel
it is probably better if we just drop off the cargo at a FedEx location. I
assume the following location would work?:
FedEx - 5895 Christie Ave, Emeryville, CA (510) 594-9800
David B. -
Thanx for being willing to take on some of my task workload at Omni - if
you are agreeable, I was hoping you might be willing to take on this small
task of coordinating with Kristin and Arnas (copied above) to make sure his
stuff is picked up from the ballroom (or ticket booth room if the boxes is
back inside after drywalling it)?
This is at this point a pressing matter I cannot attend to right now do
due to taking some time off -- Arnas does need his belongings, and they are
long overdue to be shipped.
Arnas' boxes were not picked up originally for two reasons:
- They all needed to be re-taped with packing tape (they were originally
taped with duct tape, which apparently was not allowed.). This has been
done.
- There were two large (but light) chairs and cushions that *still needed
to be packed*.
I personally spent an afternoon going to 7 different stores attempting to
find shipping boxes large enough to accommodate the chairs. Boxes this
large are apparently not sold at moving places, and the appliance / grocery
stores with large boxes would not give them to me - they get crushed /
compressed at 5am before the store is open and I could not get them to set
any aside.
Therefore, I set a volunteer looking for something to do, towards
fabricating shipping boxes for these chairs - and indeed there are two
large boxes fabricated, in the ballroom.
These 2x large boxes need the following:
- 1 chair & 1 associated cushion put in each box
- Packed with shipping peanuts or similar cushioning material to reduce
movement inside the box
- These 2 boxes particularly should be *entirely enclosed in packing tape
(all external surface areas)* - they will be put on a container ship, so
this needs to be solid.
- Remaining 2 shipping labels printed out and affixed & instructions re:
labelling followed (pasted in below).
I bought more packing tape for the boxes for this purpose into the
ballroom by the boxes, but I am not sure where that tape is at this time,
since I am not there.
Anyhow David, if you can please finish packing these boxes, and get them
over to FedEx?

is estimated between $175-$350 in local currency
- Destination Terminal Handling Charges for Air freight shipment that
is: estimated between $75-$100 in local currency
When vessels and air crafts arrive, local customs send the trucks to
retrieve the cargo, dismantle it and keep
it a safe warehouse until customs has cleared. That service is called
(Terminal Handling Charge). This is a local charge that is paid in
local currency. We do not see it or profit from it. It is based on
the feedback of our clients who shipped with us since 1995.

I disagree. Sudoroom is not "open to the public" it's a membership
organization and members can invite guests. So we can watch whatever we
want together.
jeez you guys, what would Aaron say?

====================================
Dear Riseup Users:
Here in the northern hemisphere the leaves are pretty, the ground is
soggy, and the annual Riseup fundraising drive is afoot! We need you to
pay for our core costs and help keep us going in our fifteenth year of
existence.
https://riseup.net/en/donate
So hello there! We wanted to give a shout out to the huge number of new
Riseup users this year. Thanks for coming to our party. We don't charge
anything to get in, but that doesn't mean what we do is free. We believe
people (and people working on liberatory social change, specifically),
should have access to secure and surveillance-free communication, and if
they can't pay for it, that's cool. However, Riseup relies on its
members who can pay to keep us going. And hello to all our old Riseup
users, too. Raise your hand if you remember Riseup's old slogan.*
So, since we are asking you for money, let's talk about how we used your
money last year. We installed a spiffy new list machine that is hosting
20,000 mailing lists and helping millions of people communicate. We
deployed a new webmail called roundcube, that should be easier and
faster to use. We rolled out our new VPN, which is the first in a long
line of more secure, encrypted, and easier to use services. Along with
all that, we've been battling spam zombie armies and keeping up with a
huge growth in users. The one place where it has been difficult for us
to build capacity is with trouble tickets -- these require vast amounts
of human labor, and don't scale well as we grow. Sorry about that. We
are working on it.
https://riseup.net/en/donate
So that's what we've been up to, but why? Well, we strive to be a small
but important piece of the activist ecosystem that supports and nurtures
all of your work. We know that not everyone needs privacy all the time,
but that when people do need it, they tend to need it pretty
desperately. It's not always easy to predict when that need will arise.
Riseup's strategy has always been to provide good security embedded in
our services all the time, so that when you do need privacy, you don’t
have to change your modes of communication (though you may want to use
other security measures too, like GPG). Fun fact: for many years,
whenever we would talk about Riseup and the growing surveillance
apocalypse, everyone stared at us like we were conspiracy theorists. We
live in a very different world now. (Thanks, Snowden and other leakers!)
So, that's our what and our why, and now, perhaps, give us money? Time
and time again, you all have been amazingly generous in supporting us.
This year we need $60,000 USD to cover our basic operating costs.
So, hello to you, yes you, you beautiful thing with the big heart and
dreams! Any donation is wonderful, but may we suggest a monthly
contribution of $5-50 USD? Recurring donations make us wildly happy, as
we can budget and make plans for the future way more easily. Or maybe
you could donate three hours of your life, whatever you get paid at an
hourly rate, for the year. Anything and everything is huge.
https://riseup.net/en/donate
And if you can't donate, that's okay, too. A huge portion of our users
live in countries plundered by imperialism and neo-liberalism, and for
all of you, we'd rather you donate and support your local
infrastructure. Also, lots of activists everywhere live in poverty. If
that's you, just keep doing your wonderful work. But for everyone else
who can throw a little mutual aid our way? Your money not only supports
our work, but everyone else's, too.
And, last, please know that every dollar goes to collective members and
our operating costs. We have zero bullshit overhead, and we work hard to
stretch every dollar. We'll be bugging you with some more emails over
the next month or so, not because we are greedy rats, but we want to
keep being part of the vital global struggles that you all are part of, too.
Love,
The Riseup Birds
* Get off the Internet! We'll see you in the streets.

====================================
Chères utilisatrices et utilisateurs de Riseup:
Ici dans l'hémisphère nord les feuilles changent peu à peu de couleur,
le sol est détrempé et la collecte de fonds de Riseup est lancée! Nous
avons besoin de vous pour payer nos frais d'exploitation et nous aider à
continuer pour une quinzième année de suite.
https://riseup.net/fr/donate
Bienvenu aux nombreuses nouvelles personnes qui ont rejoint Riseup cette
année. Merci d'être venues pour la fête. Nous ne chargeons rien à
l'entrée, mais cela ne veut pas pour autant dire que ce que nous faisons
est gratuit. Nous croyons que les personnes – plus précisément les
personnes qui travaillent pour un changement social émancipateur –
devraient avoir accès à des communications sécurisées. Si elles ne
peuvent pas le payer, ça le fait. Cependant, Riseup repose sur ses
membres qui peuvent payer pour nous permettre de continuer à exister. Et
rebonjour aux ancienne utilisatrices et aux anciens utilisateurs de
Riseup! Levez la main si vous vous rappelez l'ancienne devise de Riseup.*
Donc, comme nous vous demandons de l'argent, parlons de l'usage de notre
argent l'année dernière. Nous avons installé une nouvelle machine qui
héberge 20 000 listes courriel et qui aide des millions de personnes à
communiquer. Nous avons déployé un nouveau webmail nommé Roundcube. Il
devrait être plus rapide et plus facile d'utilisation. Nous avons un
nouveau VPN, le premier d'une longue liste de services chiffrés plus
sécurisés et plus faciles à utiliser. En même temps, nous sommes en
train de nous battre contre des armées de zombies spammeurs et tentons
de rester à niveau avec l'immense afflux de nouvelles personnes
utilisant nos services. Là où nous avons le plus de difficultés à
assurer est le service de tickets de support. Cela nécessite beaucoup de
ressources humaines et cela ne suit pas notre croissance. Désolé, nous
travaillons là-dessus.
https://riseup.net/fr/donate
Donc voilà ce que nous avons fait. Mais pourquoi faire tout cela? Et
bien nous tentons d'être une petite mais importante partie de
l'écosystème militant qui vous supporte et permet votre travail. Nous
savons que tout le monde n'a pas besoin de protéger sa vie privée de
tout temps, mais quand nous en avons besoin, cela tend à être vital. Il
est parfois assez difficile de prévoir quand ce besoin va se manifester.
La stratégie de Riseup a toujours été de fournir de tout temps une bonne
dose de sécurité dans nos services. De cette manière, vous n'avez pas à
changer votre manière de communiquer quand vous avez besoin de protéger
votre confidentialité. Il est cependant toujours intéressant d'utiliser
d'autres mesures de sécurité, comme GPG. Anecdote amusante : pendant
plusieurs années, moindrement que nous parlions de Riseup et de
l’agrandissement de l'appareil de surveillance, tout le monde nous
regardait comme des partisans d'une quelconque théorie du complot. Nous
vivons maintenant dans un monde complètement différent. (Merci à Snowden
et aux autres lanceurs d'alerte)
Voilà donc ce que nous avons fait et pourquoi nous l'avons fait. Et
maintenant, pourquoi pas nous donner un peu d'argent? À toutes les fois
vous avez été extrêmement généreuses et généreux en nous aidant à
continuer. Cette année nous avons besoin de 60 000 dollars américains
pour couvrir nos frais d'exploitation de base.
Salut à toi, oui toi, toi la belle chose avec un grand cœur et de grands
rêves! Tout don est le bienvenu, mais nous suggérons une contribution de
5 à 50 dollars américains par mois. Les dons récurrents sont
particulièrement appréciés parce qu'ils nous permettent de faire des
plans à long terme plus aisément. Ou vous pourriez donner pour l'année
l'argent que vous gagnez en 3 heures, peu importe le salaire horaire que
vous faites. Même un petit rien fait une grosse différence.
https://riseup.net/fr/donate
Si vous ne pouvez pas donner, c'est correct aussi. Une grande portion
des personnes qui utilisent Riseup habitent dans des pays qui se font
piller par l'impérialisme et le néolibéralisme. Si vous faites partie de
ces personnes, nous préférerions que vous supportiez vos groupes locaux.
Beaucoup de militant-e-s partout dans le monde vivent également dans la
pauvreté. Si vous êtes une de ces personnes, continuez de faire du bon
travail. Mais pour toutes les autres personnes qui peuvent lancer un peu
de solidarité de notre côté? Votre argent ne supporte pas seulement
notre travail, mais également celui des autres.
Finalement, sachez que tous l'argent que vous nous donnez va aux membres
du collectif et pour payer nos frais d’exploitation. Nous n'avons
absolument aucune marge de profit et nous travaillons très fort pour
utiliser chaque dollar à son plein potentiel. Nous allons vous déranger
avec d'autres courriels dans le prochain mois, non pas parce que nous
sommes des rats pleins d'avarice, mais bien parce que nous voulons
continuer à faire partie des combats globaux dont vous faites également
part.
Avec amour,
Les oiseaux de Riseup

====================================
Cari utenti di Riseup:
qui nell'emisfero nord la foglie cambiano colore, la terra è zuppa, e la
raccolta fondi annuale di Riseup è in corso! Abbiamo bisogno di voi per
pagare i nostri costi di base e aiutarci ad andare avanti nel nostro
quindicesimo anno di esistenza.
https://riseup.net/it/donate
Quindi eccoci qui! Volevamo lanciare un grido di entusiasmo per il gran
numero di nuovi utenti di Riseup quest'anno. Grazie di essere venuti al
nostro party. Non facciamo pagare l'entrata, ma questo non vuol dire che
quello che facciamo è gratis. Noi crediamo che le persone (e in
particolare le persone che lavorano per un cambiamento sociale verso la
liberazione), dovrebbero avere accesso a una comunicazione sicura e
senza sorveglianza, e se non possono pagare per averla, va bene lo
stesso. Tuttavia, Riseup conta sui suoi membri che possono pagare andare
avanti. E salve anche a tutti i vecchi utenti Riseup. Alzate la mano se
ricordate il vecchio slogan di Riseup.*
Ecco, visto che vi stiamo chiedendo soldi, parliamo di come abbiamo
usato i vostri soldi lo scorso anno. Abbiamo installato una nuova
macchina per le liste che ospita 20.000 mailing list e aiuta milioni di
persone a comunicare. Abbiamo sviluppato una nuova webmail chiamata
roundcube, che dovrebbe essere più semplice e veloce da usare. Abbiamo
sviluppato il nostro nuovo VPN, che è il primo di una lunga serie di
servizi più sicuri, criptati e semplici da utilizzare. Nello stesso
tempo, abiamo combattuto eserciti di spam zombie e tenuto il passo con
un'enorme crescita di utenti. L'unico punto che è stato difficile da
mandare avanti è stato la gestione dei trouble tickets - questi
richiedono una grande quantità di lavoro umano, e man mano che cresciamo
diviene più difficile stargli dietro. Ci dispiace. Ci stiamo lavorando su.
https://riseup.net/it/donate
Questo è quello che abbiamo fatto finora, ma perché? Beh, ci sforziamo
di essere una piccola ma importante parte dell'ecosistema attivista, che
sostiene e nutre tutto il vostro lavoro. Sappiamo che non tutti
necessitano sempre di privacy, ma nel momento in cui le persone ne hanno
bisogno, tendono a farlo in maniera disperata. Non è sempre semplice
prevedere quando emergerà quel bisogno. La strategia di Riseup è sempre
stata quella di fornire una buona protezione incorporata nei nostri
servizi per tutto il tempo, in modo che quando si ha bisogno di privacy
non dovete cambiare i vostri metodi di comunicazione (anche se si
consiglia di utilizzare altre misure di sicurezza, come GPG). Una
curiosità: per molti anni, ogni volta che parlavamo di Riseup e della
crescente apocalisse di sorveglianza, tutti ci fissavano come fossimo
teorici della cospirazione. Ora viviamo in un mondo molto diverso.
(Grazie, Snowden e altri leakers!)
Quindi, questo è il nostro cosa e il nostro perchè, e ora, forse, ci
darai soldi? Di volta in volta, tutti siete stati incredibilmente
generosi nel supportarci. Quest'anno ci servono $60,000 USD per coprire
i nostri costi operativi di base.
Allora, ciao a voi, sì voi, voi cose belle con il cuore e i sogni
grandi! Ogni donazione è meravigliosa, ma possiamo suggerirvi un
contributo mensile di $5-50 USD? Le donazioni ricorrenti ci rendono
selvaggiamente felici, perché in tal modo possiamo avere un budget e
fare piani per il futuro in maniera più semplice. O forse potreste
donarci tre ore della vostra vita, poco importa il vostro compenso
orario. Qualunque cosa è enorme.
https://riseup.net/it/donate
E se non potete donare, va bene lo stesso. Una gran parte dei nostri
utenti vive in paesi saccheggiati dall'imperialismo e il
neo-liberalismo, e per tutti voi, saremo piuttosto noi a donarvi
supporto per la vostra infrastruttura locale. Inoltre, molti attivisti
in tutto il mondo vivono in condizioni di povertà. Se è il vostro caso,
continuate pure a svolgere il vostro meraviglioso lavoro. Ma per tutti
gli altri che possono donare un po' di aiuto reciproco, i vostri soldi
non supportano solo il nostro lavoro, ma anche chiunque altro.
E, infine, per favore sappiate che ogni dollaro va ai membri del
collettivo e i nostri costi operativi. Noi lavoriamo sodo per ottenere
il massimo da ogni dollaro. Vi infastidiremo con qualche email in più
nel prossimo mese, e non perché siamo avidi ratti, ma perché vorremo
continuare ad essere parte delle importanti lotte globali di cui anche
voi tutti siete parte.
Amore,
gli uccelli di Riseup

Queridos usuarios de Riseup:
Acá en el hemisferio norte las hojas de los árboles están muy lindas, el
suelo está empapado, ¡y la recaudación anual de fondos para Riseup está
en marcha! Necesitamos de tu ayuda para pagar nuestros costos básicos y
seguir funcionando en nuestro quinceavo año de existencia.
https://riseup.net/es/donate
¡Así que hola! Queremos darle una calurosa bienvenida a la inmensa
cantidad de nuevos usuari@s de Riseup de este año. Gracias por asistir a
nuestra fiesta. No cobramos nada por entrar, pero eso no significa que
lo que hacemos es gratis. Creemos que la gente (específicamente la gente
trabajando en cambios sociales para liberación), debiera tener acceso a
comunicación segura y libre de vigilancia, y que si no pueden pagar por
ello, eso está bien. Sin embargo, Riseup depende de sus miembros que sí
pueden pagar para seguir funcionando. Y hola a todos l@s usuari@s
antiguos de Riseup también. Levanta tu mano si recuerdas el viejo
eslogan de Riseup.*
Bueno, dado que estamos pidiendo vuestro dinero, hablemos de cómo lo
usamos el año pasado. Instalamos una nueva y genial máquina que está
hospedando 20,000 listas de correo y ayudando a millones de personas a
comunicarse. Pasamos a producción un nuevo webmail llamado roundcube,
que debería ser más fácil y rápido de usar. Desplegamos nuestra nueva
VPN, que es la primera en una larga lista de servicios encriptados, más
seguros y más fáciles de usar. Junto con todo eso, hemos estado
combatiendo ejércitos zombie de spam y manteniéndonos ocupados con un
gran aumento en la cantidad de usuarios. El único lugar en el cual nos
ha sido difícil construir capacidad es con los tickets — esto requiere
una gran cantidad de trabajo humano, y no ha escalado bien según
crecemos. Lo sentimos por eso. Estamos trabajando en ello.
https://riseup.net/es/donate
Eso ha sido lo que hemos estado haciendo, ¿pero por qué? Bueno,
intentamos ser una pequeña pero importante pieza del ecosistema de
activistas que apoya y nutre todo vuestro trabajo. Sabemos que no todos
necesitan privacidad todo el tiempo, pero que cuando la gente lo
necesita de verdad, tienden a necesitarlo desesperadamente. No siempre
es fácil predecir cuando esa necesidad surgirá. La estrategia de Riseup
siempre ha sido proveer buena seguridad incrustada en nuestros servicios
todo el tiempo, de manera que cuando de verdad necesites privacidad, no
debas cambiar tus hábitos de comunicación (aunque quizá quieras usar
otras medidas de seguridad, como GPG). Aquí hay un hecho gracioso: por
muchos años, siempre que hemos hablado acerca de Riseup y el creciente
apocalipsis de vigilancia, todos nos han quedado mirando como si
fuésemos teóricos conspiracionales. Vivimos en un mundo muy diferente
hoy en día (¡Gracias, Snowden y los demás infiltrados!)
Así que ese es nuestro qué y nuestro por qué, y ahora, quizá, ¿nos das
dinero? Una y otra vez, todos ustedes han sido asombrosamente generosos
al apoyarnos. Este año necesitamos $60,000 USD para cubrir nuestros
costos básicos de operación.
Así que hola a tí, sí, a tí, ¡tú, cosa hermosa con un gran corazón y
grandes sueños! Cualquier donación es maravillosa, ¿pero podríamos
sugerir un contribución mensual de $5-50 USD? Donaciones recurrentes nos
hacen tremendamente feliz, ya que podemos presupuestar y hacer planes
para el futuro de manera más fácil. O tal vez podrías donar tres horas
de tu vida, cualquiera sea la cantidad que ganes por hora, por el año.
Todo, cualquier cosa es suficiente.
https://riseup.net/es/donate
Y si no puedes donar, eso está bien también. Una gran cantidad de
nuestr@s usuari@s viven en países saqueados por el imperialismo y el
neo-liberalismo, a tod@s ustedes, preferiríamos que donen y apoyen su
infraestructura local. Además, muchos activistas en varias partes viven
en la pobreza. Si ese es tu caso, sólo sigue haciendo tu maravilloso
trabajo. Pero para el resto de la gente, ¿quién puede darnos un poco de
ayuda solidaria? Tu dinero no sólo apoya nuestro trabajo, sino el de
todos los demás también.
Y por último, por favor ten en cuenta que cada dólar va a miembros del
colectivo y a nuestros costos operativos. No tenemos ningún gasto
estructural innecesario, y trabajamos duro para estirar cada dólar. Los
estaremos molestando con algunos correos más durante el siguiente mes o
por ahí, no porque seamos ratas codiciosas, sino porque queremos seguir
siendo parte de las luchas globales y escenciales de las que tod@s
vosotr@s forman parte también.
Con amor,
Los pájaros de Riseup
* ¡Sal de Internet! Nos vemos en las calles.

====================================
Αγαπητές και αγαπητοί χρήστες και χρήστριες της Riseup,
Εδώ στο βόρειο ημισφαίριο τα φύλλα είναι όμορφα, το έδαφος μουσκεμένο,
και η ετήσια συλλογή χρημάτων για την Riseup είναι γεγονός. Σας
χρειαζόμστε για να πληρώσουμε τα βασικά έξοδα και να μας βοηθήσετε να
συνεχίσουμε στο 15ο χρόνο ύπαρξής μας.
Λοιπόν γεια σας! Θα θέλαμε να χαιρετίσουμε τον τεράστιο αριθμό νέων
χρηστών/τριων στη Riseup φέτος. Ευχαριστούμε που ήρθατε στο πάρτυ μας.
Αν και δε χρεώνουμε κάτι για να αποκτήσετε πρόσβαση στις υπηρεσίες μας
αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι οτιδήποτε κάνουμε είναι δωρεάν. Πιστεύουμε ότι ο
κόσμος (και ειδικά αυτοί/ες που αγωνίζονται για την απελευθερωτική
κοινωνική αλλαγή), πρέπει να έχει πρόσβαση σε ασφαλή και χωρίς
παρακολούθηση επικοινωνία. Δεν τίθεται ζήτημα αν δεν έχουν τη δυνατότητα
να πληρώσουν για κάτι τέτοιο. Παρόλ'αυτά, η Riseup στηρίζεται στις
συνεισφορές των μελών της για να μπορεί να υπάρχει. Λέμε γειά και
στους/στις παλιούς/ες χρήστες/ριες. Σηκώστε τα χέρια αν θυμάστε το παλιό
μας σλόγκαν*.
Έτσι, δεδομένου ότι σας ζητάμε χρήματα, ας μιλήσουμε για το τί κάναμε τα
χρήματα πέρσι. Εγκαταστήσαμε μια νέα έξυπνη μηχανή που φιλοξενεί 20.000
λίστες email και βοηθά εκατομμύρια κόσμο να επικοινωνεί. Εγκαταστήσαμε
μια νέα πλατφόρμα για το ηλεκτρονικό ταχυδρομείο με όνομα roundcube, που
λογικά θα είναι πιο εύκολο και πιο γρήγορο στη χρήση του. Έχουμε
ξεδιπλώσει το νέο μας VPN, το οποίο είναι το πρώτο από τα νέα εργαλεία
που θα προσφέρουν περισσότερη ασφάλεια, κρυπτογράφηση και εργονομία.
Ταυτόχρονα δίναμε μάχες με τις στρατιές των ζόμπι σπαμ και προσπαθούμε
να ανταποκριθούμε στον αυξανόμενο αριθμό χρηστών. Ένα σημείο που μας
ήταν δύσκολο να αντεπεξέλθουμε είναι οι αναφορές προβλημάτων, οι οποίες
απαιτούν τεράστιο χρόνο ανθρώπινης εργασίας και δεν κλιμακώνουν ανάλογα.
Ζητούμε συγγνώμη, δουλεύουμε για να λυθεί.
https://riseup.net/el/donate
Με αυτά ασχολούμασταν λοιπόν, αλλά γιατί; Λοιπόν, κοπιάζουμε να είμαστε
ένα μικρό αλλά σημαντικό κομμάτι του ακτιβιστικού οικοσυστήματος που
υποστηρίζει και προετοιμάζει το έδαφος για όλα αυτά που κάνετε. Ξέρουμε
ότι δεν χρειάζονται όλοι και όλες συνέχεια ιδιωτικότητα στις
επικοινωνίες, αλλά όταν πράγματι την χρειαστούν, συνήθως υπάρχει μεγάλη
ανάγκη. Δεν είναι πάντα εύκολο να προβλέψουμε πότε υπάρχει αυτή η
ανάγκη. Η στρατηγική της Riseup πάντοτε ήταν να παρέχει καλή ασφάλεια
ενσωματωμένη στις υπηρεσίες μας, έτσι ώστε όταν χρειάζεστε ασφάλεια, δεν
χρειάζεται να αλλάξτε τους τρόπους επικοινωνίας σας (αν και μπορεί να
θέλετε να χρησιμοποιήσετε επιπρόσθετα μέτρα ασφαλείας, όπως το GPG). Το
αστείο της υπόθεσης ειναι ότι για πολλά χρόνια, όποτε μιλούσαμε για την
Riseup και τo καθεστώς εντεινόμενης παρακολούθησης, μας κοιτούσαν σαν να
είμαστε συνωμοσιολόγοι. Ζούμε σε έναν πολύ διαφορετικό κόσμο τώρα. (Χάρη
στον Snowden και άλλους/ες που διέρρευσαν πληροφορίες!)
Οπότε, αυτά είναι τα τι και τα γιατί μας, και τώρα, μήπως, να μας δίνατε
λεφτά; Ξανά και ξανά έχετε όλοι και όλες υπάρξει απίστευτα γενναιόδωροι
στο να μας υποστηρίζετε. Φέτος χρειαζόμαστε $60,000 δολλάρια για να
καλύψουμε τα βασικά λειτουργικά μας έξοδα.
Οπότε, γεια σου, ναι εσένα, εσένα όμορφο πλάσμα με την μεγάλη καρδιά και
τα όνειρα! Οποιαδήποτε συνεισφορά είναι υπέροχη, αλλά μπορούμε να
προτείνουμε μια μηνιαία εισφορά 5 εως 50 δολλάρια; Οι επαναλαμβανόμενες
εισφορές μας αρέσουν πολύ, αφού μπορούμε να κάνουμε υπολογισμούς και
σχέδια για το μέλλον πολύ πιο εύκολα. Ή μπορείτε να συνεισφέρετε τρεις
εργάσιμες ώρες από την ζωή σας για όλο το χρόνο. Οτιδήποτε και όλα είναι
αρκετά.
https://riseup.net/el/donate
Και αν δεν μπορείτε να συνεισφέρετε, δεν πειράζει και πάλι. Μια τεράστια
μερίδα των χρηστών και χρηστριών μας ζείτε σε χώρες λεηλατημένες από τον
ιμπεριαλισμό και τον νεοφιλελευθερισμό και προτιμούμε εσείς να
συνεισφέρετε στην τοπική σας υποδομή. Επίσης, ακτιβιστές σε όλα τα
σημεία του κόσμου ζουν στην φτώχεια. Αν είσαι εσύ, συνέχισε να κάνεις
την υπέροχη δουλειά σου. Αλλά για τους υπόλοιπους που μπορούν να βάλουν
το λιθαράκι τους προς τα εδώ; Τα χρήματά σας δεν υποστηρίζουν μόνο τη
δουλειά μας, αλλά και όλων των άλλων.
Και τέλος, θα θέλαμε να γνωρίζετε ότι κάθε δολλάριο πηγαίνει στα μέλη
της κολλεκτιβάς και τα έξοδα λειτουργίας. Δεν έχουμε καμία χασούρα για
άσχετους λόγους και δουλεύουμε σκληρά για να αξιοποιήσουμε κάθε
δολλάριο. Θα σας κουράζουμε με παρόμοια email τον επόμενο μήνα, όχι
επειδή είμαστε άπληστοι, αλλά για να συνεχίσουμε να είμαστε μέρος των
εξαιρετικής σημασίας παγκόσμιων αγώνων, όπως είσαστε και εσείς.
Με αγάπη,
τα πουλιά της Riseup
* Βγες από το Internet! Θα σε δούμε στους δρόμους.

====================================
Queridas pessoas que usam Riseup:
Aqui no hemisfério norte, as folhas das árvores estão bonitas, o chão
está encharcado e a campanha anual para levantar fundos para Riseup está
começando!
Precisamos que você pague pelos seus custos e nos ajude a continuar em
nosso décimo quinto ano de existência.
https://riseup.net/pt/donate
Olá todo mundo! Nós queremos dar um recado ao enorme contingente de
pessoas que começaram a usar Riseup neste ano. Agradecemos por entrarem
na nossa festa. Nós não cobramos nada para entrar, mas isso não
significa que o que fazemos não tenha custos. Acreditamos que pessoas (e
especificamente, pessoas trabalhando em mudanças sociais libertárias)
devem ter acesso a comunicações seguras e livres de vigilância. E se
elas não podem pagar por isso, está ótimo. Porém, Riseup depende de
membros que podem pagar para continuar existindo. E um alô também para
todas e todos antigos usuários de Riseup. Levante a mão se você lembra
do antigo lema de Riseup.*
Então, já que estamos pedindo dinheiro, vamos contar como usamos nosso
dinheiro no ano passado. Nós instalamos uma nova máquina estilosa que
hospeda 20 mil listas de emails e ajuda na comunicação de milhões de
pessoas. Implantamos um novo webmail chamado roundcube, mais fácil e
rápido de usar. Nós deslanchamos nosso novo VPN, que é o primeiro numa
longa lista de serviços mais seguros, criptografados e fáceis de usar.
Além disso tudo, temos combatido exércitos de spams zumbis e nos
mantemos em dia com o grande aumento no número de usuários e usuárias de
Riseup. O único espaço onde temos tido dificuldade de responder e criar
capacidade é com os tíquetes de ajuda -- eles requerem muito trabalho
humano, que não conseguimos aumentar no mesmo ritmo em que crescemos.
Nos desculpamos por isso. Estamos trabalhando nesse ponto.
https://riseup.net/pt/donate
É nisso que temos trabalhado, mas por quê? Bem, nos empenhamos
arduamente em ser uma pequena mas importante parte do ecossistema
ativista que apoia e estimula todo o seu trabalho. Sabemos que nem todo
mundo precisa de privacidade o tempo todo, mas quando as pessoas
realmente precisam, elas tendem a precisar desesperadamente. Não é
sempre fácil de prever quando essa necessidade aparecerá. A estratégia
de Riseup sempre foi de prover boa segurança em nossos serviços o tempo
todo, de modo que quando você precisar de privacidade, não precisará
mudar o jeito de se comunicar (embora, você possa também usar outras
medidas de segurança, como GPG). Fato curioso: por muitos anos, toda vez
que falávamos sobre Riseup e o crescente apocalipse da vigilância,
nossos argumentos eram ouvidos como teorias da conspiração. Vivemos em
um mundo bem diferente agora. (Obrigado, Snowden e outros vazadores!)
Esses são nossos o que e porque, e agora, quem sabe, nos faça uma
doação? E outra vez, vocês todos tem sido incrivelmente generosos nos
seus apoios. Neste ano, precisaremos de 60.000 dólares dos Estados
Unidos (USD) para cobrir os custos de nossas operações básicas.
Então, alô você, sim, você, coisa linda com um grande coração e sonhos!
Qualquer doação é maravilhosa, mas poderíamos sugerir uma contribuição
mensal de 5 a 50 USD? Doações recorrentes nos deixam muito felizes, já
que podemos fazer orçamentos e planos futuros com muito mais
tranquilidade. Ou talvez você poderia doar no ano, o valor de três horas
da sua vida, qualquer que seja o valor da sua hora de trabalho.
https://riseup.net/pt/donate
E se você não puder doar, não há problema também. Uma grande parte das
pessoas que usam Riseup vivem em países saqueados pelo imperialismo e
neoliberalismo, e para todos vocês, preferimos que doem e apoiem
coletivos locais de infraestrutura. Também, muitos ativistas em toda
parte vivem na pobreza. Se você é um deles, basta continuar fazendo seu
belo trabalho. Mas para todos os demais que podem jogar um pouco de
ajuda mútua em nossa direção, seu dinheiro não só apoia nosso trabalho,
mas de muitas outras pessoas também.
Por fim, saiba que todo dólar recebido vai para membros do coletivo e
para custos operacionais. Não temos gastos desnecessários, e trabalhamos
duro para esticar cada dólar. Iremos te cutucar com mais alguns emails
durante o próximo mês, não porque somos ratos gananciosos, mas porque
queremos continuar sendo parte das vitais lutas globais que todos vocês
também fazem parte.
Com amor,
A passarada de Riseup
* Saia da Internet! Nos vemos na rua.
so in other words, you changed the robot from position mode to rectangular
mode, and now when you save jobs it saves them in rectangular
coordinates!??! that's awesome!!!
that means we can now use inkscape to make paths and translate them to
robot moves! we can put a sharpie in its hand and make it draw a doge!
all thanks to the secret password, which is 24.#4.#2 !!!!
is anyone good at inkscape? we need to figure out how to scale a path to
the coordinates range we are actually working with. We may be able to get
the robot to do that for us using User Coordinates.
all documentation at:
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot
also, i hear remote mode is unlocked, and we can send the robot commands
over serial and tell it to do whatever we want now?
-jake
note to readers: the coordinates below are X Y Z and then xyz angles for
the hand/tool orientation.

It's sort of unclear in the proposal, but from what I understand
Backspace is only asking to lock ONE room for dedicated space - the
"eyeball room" upstairs with the large circular window. The "bunker
room" under the staircase would only be locked when in active use, and
the "den" upstairs would always be unlocked and schedulable, with
Backspace getting scheduling priority. Do I understand that right?
Also, people are calling that bunker room "ADA accessible", but sadly
it is not. Yes, there are no extra steps from the wheelchair lift, but
the doors are narrow and there is hardly any turning radius.
Hi!
We’re building a coalition and a community for all folks interested in
internet governance, freedom of speech, privacy, access to information,
peer production, and the interplay of new media with race, gender,
sexuality, class, and other systems of power.
Our first event will be Tuesday, October 21 at Cloyne Co-op (2600 Ridge
Road, Berkeley), one block north of the UC campus.
7pm-8pm: Dinner (suggested donation of $5 for the co-op karma box)
8pm-9:45pm: Screening of The Internet’s Own Boy: The Story of Aaron
Swartz (movie)
9:45pm-10:30pm: Discussion (with guests from the Electronic Frontier
Foundation)
This event is co-organized by the Open Access Initiative at Berkeley as
part of Open Access Week.
Register: <http://cloyne.org/events/net-plurality/>
Everyone is invited! Please forward far and wide!

So, this weeks titles were announced over the weekend, and I'm hoping to
see you all there!
This Friday, we'll be showing the titles '*Nothing*' and '*MirrorMask*'.
Two movies about being slung into a wild, alternate world - where things
make little to no sense, but the adventure is grand.
More info on this event can be found here:
October 17th Film Night
<https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2014/10/17_Film_Night>
For the Film Night of Friday th 24th, we will be screening '*The Internet's
Own Boy*' and '*Hackers*', with a half hour open conversation between
(and/or after).
More info on this event can be found here:
October 24th Film Night
<https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2014/10/24_Film_Night>
There is no Film Night planned for Friday the 31st, as it is Halloween.
But! If enough people are interested in having a horrifying, ghoulish,
frightening movie night, I will certainly consider hosting one for All
Hallows Eve!
If you're interested, just reply in line as an RSVP, with a movie
suggestion!
