Omni Pre-Inspection Tasks By Room - Invitation to view

by Jenny Ryan (via Google Sheets)

I've shared an item with you: Omni Pre-Inspection Tasks By Room https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oGPOLpvot90UD7ne5zGVWwL-hYMYmaO_wKm… It's not an attachment -- it's stored online. To open this item, just click the link above. This is a multi-sheet spreadsheet doc listing all the tasks we need to complete before we can pass our inspections - what David put together, but split up by room. These sheets are also physically printed and taped up in the following areas: * La Commune: Next to ADA bathroom * Ballroom: Next to chandelier lights * Ticket Booth Room: On the door * Crow's Nest: on the inner OpAl door to the crow's nest * Sudo / CCL: On the west side of the yellow locker in the middle of the room * Rise Above: To the left of the sliding doors * Basement: Below the lights to the basement * TIL: Above the little mailbox outside the door to the office * Cafe Balcony: On the eastern refrigerator * Disco Room: Below the lights to the room Please do take on a project if you meet the requisite skill level, then cross off things once complete. Even better, send an update to building(a)lists.omnicommons.org - we meet every Monday at 8pm. We are particularly in need of folks experienced with carpentry and electrical. Primary projects right now are continuing the ballroom south wall soundproofing (primarily hanging sheetrock) and installing firesafe and accessible door closers and panic bars. Ping the building list if you'd like to help out! <3jenny

3D Printing Area has a Switch now - Network Access

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hellos, For those working by the 3D working area here a few notes. 1) For your convenience and to help to clear up some of the extra cables in the vicinity a 16 port switch has been installed under the 3D Printer table. 2) All the extra network cables removed from the 3D printing area are now in the Server area, if you need them. 3) The red and black color electrical cable that was feeding power from the basement has been relocated. Now the power is coming from the Server Area; but this should be considered a TEMPORARY solution, since it should be better to have a formal electrical outlet instead. Thank you Sierk (he is not in this list yet), for helping; very appreciated it.

Come join us for Bio Arts & Crafts in CCL this Saturday!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Join fellow bio-artists and makers for an afternoon of science nerd arts & crafts at Counter Culture Labs <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/222476592/>. We'll have some pigmented bacteria and Petri dishes to get creative with, spare lab plastic and glassware to attack with a glue gun, clear resin to embed things into, and much more. No prior experience required, but make sure to bring your creativity! Come get that whole left-brain/right-brain in a twist. Let's generate and exchange ideas as we begin to create a bio-art community in the East Bay. Feel free to bring some extra materials and snacks for yourself and/or to share. Check out the fun we had last time we did a Bio+Art session <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/photos/19759082/>! Co-hosted by scientist/maker Jun Axup from SciCouture <http://scicouture.com/>, and local artist Tracy Jacobs from FunkyAutomata <http://funkyautomata.com/>. Possible projects include building virus models from laboratory materials, playing with optics, making Petri dish necklaces, and more... Please register through our Meetup page <http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/222476592/>, so we know how many people to expect. Patrik

To me this just sounds like: "You can't criticize anything I do, because I'm rich". In theory, inviting shitty things to Sudo & Omni gives us a big opportunity to challenge them. But doing that without just getting co-opted would take a lot of work and struggle and I don't know if we have the resources for that right now, let alone the risk of failing to challenge them enough and just being complicit. Also, if we specifically reject this event and tell them exactly why, and what kind of things we'd like to see from them in the future, that's also a way to influence them. If they're really well meaning, they'd listen and take it to heart. But if all they really care about is money and prestige, then they'll just smile and move on and we didn't waste all our time and energy. Not holding my breath, personally.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: [sudo-info] reaching out from google.org regarding an assistive technology hackathon

by Vicky Knox

I'm no longer in town but I have something to say. I think this is a good opportunity to explore. I hear your concerns about their approach, Ryan. I am particularly irked by the inspirational music in the video. *shudders* That said, I would love to take this opportunity to transmit our collective concerns and critiques to them...call it "hacking their framing". :] Whether one likes it or not, these folks have a lot of power in shaping popular technology development and understandings into the future. While we may not revolutionize Google, we can at least encourage them to do their bidding in a way that is a little less evil. I'm happy that they're directly reaching out to hackerspaces, which means they may take notes. I'm also happy that they're reaching out to us because our social ecosystem is quite a bit more diverse than theirs and therefore has more potential for wisdom (I wonder, have they reached out to Mothership or LOL?). The tech industry (or any business that requires a steep social capital (whiteness, maleness, ability to work 40+ hours/week, etc.) in order to have a better (or any) chance at getting employed), after all, is largely ableist and culturally stagnant. Please excuse my nesting.
