Hi Karissa,
I'm afraid we're still in legal limbo with regard to having minors at
omni, especially a dedicated event for minors without their legal
guardians. We're all excited to have events like this, but would
definitely need to talk to our insurance and lawyers first. And we're
so short on volunteer hours, that could be weeks away or more. We
always love new volunteers though, if you know any self-motivated
people interested in getting involved. Thanks for your understanding.
:)
I'm trying to work out some interesting ideas for the SudoKit project,
inspired and copying stuff from the Waldorf school.
Why not mix art and music?
This example just blew me away.

Young Gifted and Black, or YGB, is a youth performance ensemble based in
Oakland. More than 50 performers — ranging in age from 6 to 18 — learn and
memorize compilations of historical black poems and contemporary raps,
which they perform around the Bay Area.
“We try to cover anywhere from 50 to 100 years of history in our
presentation,” said Hodari Davis, director of YGB. The program aims to
teach black students aspects of their history not taught in school, and to
allow the students to relay their knowledge to the community through
performance.
YGB <http://younggiftedandblack.org/index.html> has emerged in Oakland from
a strong family legacy. Hodari’s mother, Laroilyn Davis, was the original
founder of YGB in Ithaca, New York. She started YGB in 1981 when Hodari was
in third grade, as she recognized the lack of black history in her son’s
curriculum.
The Davis family decided to revitalize YGB in Oakland six years ago when
Hodari’s daughter, Ikera Davis, was in middle school. Ikera now performs in
the high school group and teaches the younger students.
Hodari writes original raps for the students to learn, combining them with
historical songs and poems he grew up performing. The high school group
incorporates more contemporary messages in their sets, with pieces about
today’s police brutality and discrimination. The younger students learn and
perform mantras from prominent black leaders such as Huey Newton and W.E.B.
Du Bois.
“They don’t perform like cute little kids,” said Hodari’s wife, Candice
Davis, who also teaches for YGB. “They perform like they mean it.”

Hi All,
As per last night's discussion at the meeting I would like to suggest the
following:
The Omni building be declared a scent-free workplace. There are many such
offices, etc., especially in the Bay Area. This means anyone entering the
building is required to refrain from using perfumes (except natural ones
from a health food store), hairsprays, deodorants, scented makeup, etc.
All cleaning products and the like should be free of scents (many very fine
natural ones are available), paint or other building improvement products
should be free of scents and chemicals if at all possible (there are paints
that are chemical free and have no odor.)
However, any member project producing an odor or unavoidable smoke or odor
from a room improvement that can't be avoided, should be exempt from any
restrictions. In such cases, the membership should be informed of such
project's timeline, so affected members can avoid building use at such
times.
Have a funny day.
Best,

A woman is Looking for tech help ASAP
Do we have a job list?
She focuses on neuroscience and spiritual healing
Her main concern for her website is functionality.
A. Scheduler- Main Pain Point
She is having an issue with people scheduling appointment. I advised her to
ditch the "form" and go with in interactive live e scheduler where as
clients can see what she has open and she can block off dates she does not
want to work. (very simple to integrate)
B. EBlast
Her eblast needs to be integrated with her email list at mailchimp.
C. Landing Page
She has a new sector/product within her site "Redesigning Shame" that needs
a distinct landing page.
This is a paid job with a budget
What she needs can truly be done in 2-3 days if that.
Ideal person is skilled in Front/Backend
Any interest?

Hi All,
If you have a Yahoo email and see this only in the Sudo room archive, this
and many other Sudo-discuss emails are likely going into your spam folder.
Have a funny day.

It looks like the fiscal year for sudo room ends in November instead of
December. I'm inducing this from scant information available but will try
to verify with the IRS tomorrow (their phone lines are pretty jammed
today). This means that, for the tax forms that we file the deadline is
15th of April instead of 15th of May. Again, I will try to verify this.
It seems that Max Klein actually did file taxes before 15th of April last
year, so we're good.

Does anyone know where I can get a plant or seeds or cuttings of the ilex
guayusa plant?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilex_guayusa
I'm already growing ilex paraguariensis at Omni but I'd like to have both
plants. Why?
Because they literally turn CO2 and dirt into caffeine. How are we not all
doing this already?

is sudoroom going to have a presence at Maker Faire? It means a bunch of
people can get in free. All we need is a table and some interesting
things to put on it, and people to sign up for shifts to guard the table.
also i think it could be a good opportunity to attract excellent hackers
to our space.
no we cannot bring the robot. it's too big and delicate and they would
never allow us to turn it on without a cage around it.
