A fellow named Dustin has been spending the last several days hanging out
all day in La Commune.
I talked to him today and explained that we're not yet open and that, while
he's here, he needs to either be vouched for by someone who is a member of
a member collective or attending an event or otherwise involved in work
related to the Omni.
I told him that I was leaving at 7pm and he'd need to find someone to vouch
for him at that time or else he'd have to leave. He said ok. I mentioned
this to him again around 7:15 and he said that someone at Sudo said he
could be in the building until 10pm. I told him that this was not the case,
and explained again our pre open to the public access policy. He walked
away from me saying "You're the only one who has said that to me." heading
back inside the building.
He said that "the guy with dreadlocks" told him he could hang out here. I
went and got Chris B and Mary from CCL and we approached him together.
Chris told him that he wasn't vouching for him and that he should leave.
Mary and I both told him that we'd be open to the public eventually but
that we just are not at the present moment. He left and said he wasn't
coming back.
Just sending this email so it's on the record. I'll try to add to the wiki,
as well.

Hmm. When I asked Sara for clarification, she said it was only one
dedicated locked room:
https://omnicommons.org/lists/private/consensus/2014/000105.html
I worry it might be harder to reach consensus if there is no potential
for the kids' room (storage1) to actually be a kids' room at any time
of the day.
Can the folks who brought the brown couch in and left it La Commune please
move it by Saturday? We are renting the ballroom for an event on Sunday and
they will be using the cafe to stage catering.
Additionally, La Commune is hoping to have the bookstore provisionally open
by November first. This would be a transitional period while we continue to
work on getting the cafe open.
If y'all could help us out by not leaving stuff in La Commune but rather
taking it to wherever its final destination w/in the Omni will be, that
would be tremendous.

I'm taking an extended break. Trying to do self-care better. Won't be
showing up every night like I have all year. Will still teach by
scheduled appointment. Thanks.
We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board,
notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3
application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to
levy state taxes for last year, 2013.
I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is
incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached:
"state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf"
which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields.
We need a few things:
1. Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!)
2. Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability
3. See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly
4. *Submit before Friday November 7* (30 days from October 9, 2014)
"Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100
with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax
assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the
additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon
written request."

Wait just to be clear, the Backspace proposal from last week wasn't
this. It was about dedicating ONE room, the eyeball room, and having
part-time scheduling priority in two common rooms, the den and
storage1. It didn't say anything about the disco room, which OMNIdance
has paid for exclusively until Dec 1, and which the Commons WG is
proposing to steward starting Dec 1. This Commons WG proposal was on
the pad at last week's meeting but the meeting went too long and the
delegates didn't have time to talk about it, sorry.

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. :)
we have a bag of ultrasonic transducers, as seen here:
http://www.directindustry.com/prod/international-transducer/ultrasonic-tran…
in case you needed to do any ultrasonic transducing. there are also
electret microphones in the same bag, i think they were used together for
physical location tracking, like short distance high-accuracy distance
measurement.

Alice found some working free coolers on craigslist and she has dib on them. Does the omni want them? It's not on the wishlist.
Her home internet is out. She asked me to send a massage to the list asking for a few people to help move them Wednesday.
Her # is 4152720596. Can someone plese forward this to omni discuss?
