Sunday's Ferguson Response Catalyst Project event - call for help!

by Stephen Novotny

Dear all, What will the Omni do in response and in support of the BlackLivesMatter movement? I've had a few conversations around this question the over the last couple weeks and I imagine others have as well. This coming Sunday (Dec. 14th), we'll be hosting Catalyst Project <http://collectiveliberation.org/> in the Ballroom for an event titled "Black Liberation and White Anti-Racism in the Time of Ferguson." They've sent out an invite <http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2867d847f3&id=072f757718> to the public and through their own networks, which has been viewed by more than 23,000 people. Over the past week I've met people who've been receiving flyers to the event during the marches through Berkeley and Oakland, which leads me to believe there will be *a lot* of people here, a lot of *new* people from our wider community. I'm helping to bottom-line this event and could really use your help! 1. Reply to this thread if you are down to help steward our space and include your phone # (if you feel comfortable, send privately, etc.) as I want to be certain we are able to generously host all the folks in our community who will be coming to our space to respond to recent events 2. They'd like amplified sound and I'm not 100% certain what our current situation is - where is our sound system? do we have one adequate for this event? and can someone volunteer to run sound? 3. What has been the latest count of chairs at the Omni? do we need to get more chairs? with love st

Re: [sudo-discuss] Several bikes have been stolen from outside of the Omni

by Jake

I think we should put a permanent sign on the entry door that says "Bikes left outside may be stolen. Cars parked nearby may have windows broken." does anyone object? -jake On Tue Dec 9 Tracy Jacobs wrote: Maybe no one else drives, but I also got my window smashed last time I was parked by Omni, right next to that big storage facility.

CSAM for pick up on the peninsula if you want it: (fwd)

by Jake

interested? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2014 10:57:29 -0800 Subject: CSAM for pick up on the peninsula if you want it: John writes: "As I pick up more junk I have to get rid of old stuff. I've decided I'm going to scrap my confocal scanning acoustic microscope which I never really use. If someone is interested in it let me know within a few days. It was mostly supposed to be a holdover until I got the SEM. It was missing a head (since acquired) and I think the unit is complete. I've never powered it up but, other than some very minor wiring issues on the z axis (can be operated manually), I believe its complete and functional. Beware that the granite linear stage is heavy, probably at least 200 lbs. Pictures/details here: http://siliconpr0n.org/uv/sonix_csam/ Probably free to a good home, but cash/trades also appreciated"

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Can we get a pair of hands tomorrow?

by Julio Rios

Thanks Jenny! I helped take apart her beds today; she was very gracious and grateful... she just needs a few pairs of hands to complete the job tomorrow morning to move a few heavy things she can't do on her own. Added a few folks here who I heard are nearby in case they have time to help. Should probably be a 30-45 minute job.
