IDEA: How to bring bits of money to Omni. Easy Way.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All! Straight to the point: Instead of going to buy a new/used piece of furniture or whatever item from a store, one should ask in their Collecive and or the Omni email list(s). So if a member has it, then the two parties involved will decide the amount of money that the person receiving the item should donate to Omni. This idea is not inclusive to items, it could include services. For example (a real example): I am going in a trip for 11 days (Nov 3 - 11), and I have no place to park my car for that length of time. If I use the parking lot at the airport, it will cost me $18 a day making it a total of $198 plus tax. But, I would be happier if someone in the list living near BART would allow me to park in their driveway or similar; from anywhere in Richmond to North Oakland, or from SF to the SF Airport so that I would donate $50 to Omni. The person doing the monetary donation could do it in person or use the any of these methods online: https://omnicommons.org/donate.html What are your thoughts? Many thanks for reading this email. Daniel p.s. i will send another email with my real #ISO request as an example of what I mean, and perhaps I get some replies. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Electronic Music Production Meetup Tonight

by Berry Maker

Hi! I'll be at Sudo Room working on music a bit after 5pm today. If you're interested in electronic music production please come by and say hello. ************************************************************************************ I'll be holding this meetup every Sunday between 5-7(ish) pm. We can meet at Sudo Room and move into another open room in Omni if necessary. This group will be focusing on the production/composition/programming aspect of electronic music production with an emphasis on Ableton Live and Logic Pro X. However,all DAW's (Reason, Cubase, Pro-Tools, Fruity Loops Studio) are welcome. I'd like to keep the group loose and unstructured for now so we can let it grow organically. The idea is to meet others interested in electronic music production, learn from each other, inspire ideas, collaborate on projects, etc. ~Merry

Hack the Network Jobs List

by Vicky Knox

Email Yvonne (bottom of the email) if you'd like to join this excellent jobs list... ~~~~~ *About Hack the Network:* This project is aimed at connecting qualified candidates from underrepresented groups with job opportunities in tech and tech-related companies. The goal is to use my networks to upend the current networked hiring system, by tapping into pools of talent that people in tech don't normally have access to. *Here's how it works*: 1. Check out the jobs below. I’ve included links to their application pages and if you like you can apply to them directly. 2. However, if you feel strongly that you are a good fit for the position and would like a referral, send me your resume (even if you have already sent it) with your name, the job title, and the employer in the subject line. 3. If it looks like you are what the employer is looking for, I’ll email you to schedule a quick skype call. 4. If we both want to proceed after that discussion, then I will refer you to my friend to follow on with the application process. I can’t guarantee that this process will land you a job. However, you’ll likely stand a better chance than with just a cold contact. Also, I don't post all of the positions that HTN companies are seeking to fill. So, if you see a position of interest posted on an HTN company website which is not in the newsletter, let me know. Please feel free to share this with friends who are looking for work, potential employers, or organizations which you think would be interested. If tech is the future, we should have a seat at the table. *Y-Vonne Hutchinson* Executive Director, ReadySet <http://thereadyset.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7c54a18b5f6760abb3ab5…> yvonne(a)thereadyset.co

paying gig/help a radical bookseller and sudo member?

by D. Scott Nanos

hello fellow sudoers! I wish I could be around sudo/omni more but i am so busy/inundated with bookselling crap! On that tip: would anyone be interested in helping me make a simple website? also, I need someone to help me learn filemaker pro (or something similar, theres something expensive called bookhound that i've heard is good but pricey,) so that I can (ideally) create a single inventory of my rare books and use that to upload onto both my website and amazon.com (or abebooks.com) with the same file.... I think this is possible?! This would be book info, price and in some cases, images. basically i'm looking for someone to help me get started online! If you can help, plz let me know! I have a little bit of $ to pay for this and would definitely try to compensate you the best I can! Blessings, Scott

In other words, it's bad but not much worse than when we first moved into the building. We've come so far since then, and we've got so much more time to do this right. And a fortune already in the bank to start with. :) Every new day is a gift. Let's celebrate this time we have together and try our best to make it last. My biggest takeaway from Becoming Omni was that we need more communication across the board. So I am going to try to work on just documenting all the things I've been meaning to do but lack the capacity to do myself. And we need to empower new people to take on stuff like that.

Open access publishing plays a huge role in the spread of knowledge, culture, and ideas. To celebrate Open Access Week, we wrote a series of blog posts exploring about how open access is a powerful tool for researchers and the general public. When You Work in the Open, Everyone Can Be a Collaborator <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/when-you-work-open-everyone-can-be-co…> Open access opens the door to a type of collaboration that wouldn’t exist otherwise. FASTR Ensures that Publicly Funded Research Belongs to the Public <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/fastr-ensures-publicly-funded-researc…> When taxpayers pay for research, everyone should have access to it. How Trade Agreements Harm Open Access and Open Source <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/how-trade-agreements-harm-open-access…> We should hardly be surprised that trade agreements are bad news for open access and open source. But neither should we accept it. Open Access Is a Human Rights Issue <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/open-access-human-rights-issue> It’s sometimes easy to forget what’s really at stake. At its heart, open access isn’t an abstract, academic debate. Save Crypto <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff> Some legislators want to force major tech companies to include special backdoors in their products, so that the government can access our communications. We've launched a campaign to pressure President Obama to reject these proposals and affirm his support for strong encryption, and he's promised to respond to any petition through the We the People tool that gets at least 100,000 signatures. More than 90,000 people have already signed. Can you help us close the gap <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff>? <https://savecrypto.org/?r=eff> EFF Updates Apple's EULA Gives It License to Invade Your Privacy, Government Claims <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/apples-eula-gives-it-license-invade-y…> When you buy a book, the government can’t demand the publisher or bookstore turn over the notes you’ve written in the margins. But in a case in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the government is currently arguing that the way Apple licenses its software to users means that people don’t actually own their copy of code that powers their iPhones, and thus the company can be ordered to bypass the lock screen in order to get at data on those users’ devices. Success in Sacramento: Four New Laws, One Veto—All Victories for Privacy and Transparency <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/success-sacramento-four-new-laws-one-…> EFF beefed up its advocacy in Sacramento this year with the aim of moving the needle forward on digital freedom in the California legislature. We assembled a team of internal activists and lawyers and hired an excellent lobbying duo. Now that we’re at the end of the legislative session, we can say with certainty that our mission was a success. Suing Newspapers for Rightfully Seeking Records Isn’t Cool, K.J. <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/suing-newspapers-rightfully-seeking-r…> The mayor of Sacramento, former basketball star Kevin Johnson, is currently suing the city’s alt weekly to stop reporters from obtaining emails that may, or may not, reveal improprieties in his office. The case represents an intersection of two key issues for EFF: transparency and freedom of the press. Let's Encrypt Enters Private Beta <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/lets-encrypt-enters-private-beta> Our campaign to encrypt the Web took a major step forward this week. The Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority—which we've been building in collaboration with teams at Mozilla, ISRG, and others—received a cross-signature from IdenTrust. As a result, Let's Encrypt certificates are now valid and trusted by all modern Web browsers. You can see our very first cert in action at https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org. Voluntary Practices and Rights Protection Mechanisms: Whitewashing Censorship at ICANN <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/voluntary-practices-and-rights-protec…> Ever since the formation of ICANN, public interest advocates have been engaged in a struggle to assert their influence against an onslaught of intellectual property lobbyists intent on stacking every committee. Now the stakes are higher than ever. Will the ICANN of the future be a place that represents Internet users or just special interests? How to Protect Yourself from NSA Attacks on 1024-bit DH <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/10/how-to-protect-yourself-from-nsa-atta…> Security researchers recently presented compelling research suggesting that the NSA has developed the capability to decrypt a large number of HTTPS, SSH, and VPN connections using an attack on common implementations of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm with 1024-bit primes. Read our practical tips for protecting yourself. Warrantless Searches of California’s Controlled Substance Prescription Database Threaten Patient Privacy <https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-california-supreme-court-warrantless…> EFF urged the California Supreme Court in a recent amicus brief to rule that law enforcement agents need a warrant to search records revealing which Californians were prescribed controlled substances to treat conditions such as anxiety, pain, attention disorders, and insomnia. miniLinks UN Report: Protect Public Disclosures of Wrongdoing <https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/10/22/un-report-protect-public-disclosures-wr…> Human Rights Watch reports on how David Kaye, the UN’s specialist on freedom of expression and access to information, is calling upon governments to encourage public exposure of wrongdoing. A Jailed Activist’s 3-D Models Could Save Syria’s History From ISIS <http://www.wired.com/2015/10/jailed-activist-bassel-khartabil-3d-models-cou…> Wired reports on how Bassel Khartabil is currently missing in military jail, even as his open data projects are saving Syria's history from ISIS. Privatizing censorship in fight against extremism is risk to press freedom <https://cpj.org/blog/2015/10/privatizing-censorship-in-fight-against-extrem…> The Committee to Protect Journalists reports on how allowing ill-defined "extremist" content to be removed from websites without judicial oversight or due process can too easily become a tool for states interested in limiting independent reporting and staving off public policy debates.

i attended the finance wg meeting tonight where i learned that our 4 months in this building may be more like 2 months. additionally, the finance wg apparently has huge holes in their records & ask that the collectives give an accounting of any & all payments to the omni over the past year. it was also suggested that we start making plans to exit the building around the new year as our $ will likely run out by then. ~r

do you want...

by Hello

Sudo, Do you want any of the following things? 1. an awesome floor fan. The 3-speed fan motor seems to have died in its sleep, but the sweeping/ocsillator and timers still work, as does the remote control. 2. a small profile linux laptop. There's a short in the cable to the display, should be an easy fix (replace that cable) or use external monitor. Sweet little thing from zareason, currently running ubuntu, probably 5 years old. 3. a pair of desktop Harman/Kardon speakers that just stopped working. I suspect the plug or speaker-to-computer wiring. They kick ass when working. This is the first of more than one notes, offering what I think has sudo-level promise. j.
