Call for Facilitators / Participants in a sudo Men's Group

by Matthew Senate

Hey all, I wanted to reach out for some feedback. Seeking folks who would want to facilitate or participate in a men's group. I've previously participated in small groups like this and found them beneficial for various reasons. I would like to see if folks have had similar or different experiences. The way I'm thinking about this would culminate in something like a regular meeting for men in the sudo room community to discuss relevant issues including those of identity, oppression, privilege, patriarchy, gender, sexuality, stereotypes, safe space, and mutual support. This may not be the best or even a viable path to approach these topics, but I wanted to throw it out there to see if there is any interest. Thanks, Matt

April invoices !

by Sarah Pritchard

Hi friends, Hopefully some of you have received invoices for April rent and March shared expenses at the Omni. You may have noticed that we've switched our invoicing software over to Quickbooks. Their credit card processing fees are much lower than Wave's (our previous software), so we're able to save the Omni a little bit of $$. Yay! If you haven't yet received your rent and shared expense invoices, check your spam folders! I noticed that emails from Quickbooks get delivered to the "promotions" tab on my gmail account. You should still be able to pay your invoices with a credit card, but let me know if you have any trouble. This is the first round of invoices we've sent using Quickbooks so there may be a few glitches to work out. Please pay your invoices as soon as you're able and let the finances working group know if you will be late in paying them or if you have any questions. Thanks and <3, SP + Finances WG

Re: [sudo-discuss] International Space Apps Challenge @ Omni

by Ryan

I don't think I have the physical ability right now to facilitate the event, but I'd really like to see it happen. I'm adding in sudo discuss on this because there might be folks willing to do it! Sudoers! This hackathon needs someone to facilitate the weekend and it is a paying gig with training provided. If we'd like to have Oakland be a part of this global hackathon, we'll need to come up with someone to do so!

Bubble

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Anyone else notice that the NASDAQ Composite Index has about reached the nominal peak of the dotcom boom? It's not at the real value peak (i.e. adjusted for inflation), but still pretty peakish: http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=COMP&instty… It seems to me that additional market forces caused by the likes of a crisis in student debt or perhaps a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, could hasten the inevitable burst. Otherwise we may be looking at just a few years before a substantial fall in the stock market, devaluation of over-inflated "tech" companies, subsided startup investment, decrease in technology field employment, or other similar things... What might one do to prepare, as if not soon, at least inevitably there will be some stock market crash that will largely affect the wide bay area economy? // Matt

Suggestions?

by niki

I'm thinking maybe deposit equal amounts of this pile of trash (passive aggressively dumped in from of a "No Trash Here Plz" sign!) in the middle of each room of the building? Seriously though - does anyone have any thoughts as to what to do about this situation? I know I'm not the only person who has dealt with the trash but seeing this only weeks after personally making a huge dump run puts me right on the very border of freak out city. I'm not making another dump run!! Help!! [image: Inline image 1]

please leave orange Rigid shopvac permanently under Omni chop/rip saw

by David Keenan

Hello all, After many months, I found my long-lost shopvac the other day (large orange tubby-looking 'Rigid' brand) - it seemed to have re-emerged with the sudo cleanup.. very happy about that. I put a new filter in and installed it back under the chop saw. Please all, leave it there and do not remove it - it is set up this way to inhale the dust from the saw so there is less mess and the air remains healthier. To turn on the chopsaw, simply click on the power strip thats ziptied to the side - this turns on the vacuum too. I ask that everyone leave this setup as one unit. If you need to use the rip saw, simply lift the chopsaw stand off and unplug it, then put it back on when you're done. For normal shopvac'ing, the tall RED 'ShopVac'-brand shopvac (that I also installed a new filter to) should be the one used for other jobs. Currently I saw this one last, also in the secure storage room, but now that the orange Rigid one is returned the red one should be put the red one back in sudo room (as I believe it is sudo's anyhow - not sure why it is in the secure storage room, but probably someone thought it was the best place for it). If you need to use the random orbital sander with a shopvac (makes the sanding pads last much longer and produces far less dust too) -- in the secure storage room, there is a large black flexible vacuum tube with a sander exhaust attachment permanently taped onto it (with shiny metal tape). Attach one end to the the sander, and the other end to one of the other shopvac's (any one that is not not part of the chop/ripsaw stand setup) and you're good to go for that stuff, too. Hope this helps clarify stuffs. Love, David
