Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] let's get rid of the books

by Jake

here's a link to the noisebridge library organization project, for when we get the Mezzanine book collection shelved up. We could start this for the sudoroom book collection, which is considerable on its own, if someone has the skills and energy to set up the software. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 14:46:15 -0800 From: Trent Robbins Subject: Re: library organizing at noisebridge and Omni/sudoroom Hey Jake, sure thing. Here's a description I wrote up for my 5 minutes of fame presentation. https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Library There's a link in there to the library-org app. If you guys host this you can reskin it for sudo room. It's also pretty quick to delete all the books and make a new one but you have to do it from the code.

I wonder if there is a wiki page or other site with info about what you're doing with the noisebridge book collection? Sudoroom and The Omni have a lot of books and we need to catalogue them. thank you -jake

REMINDER Omni Spring Clean Day on Sun Feb 21st at 12PM, NOT Saturday

by Sang S. Kim

Hi everyone In case there's any confusion, the Clean Day is tomorrow Sunday at 12PM and NOT today, Sat. I sent a test draft to a small group among the members that said Saturday but that was an old incorrect draft. The Announce List sent yesterday approved by the Comm Group says Sunday. Just wanted to re-send again to the smaller group in case there was any confusion. Thanks, Sang ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sang S. Kim <sangkimsf(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Feb 19, 2016 at 4:20 PM Subject: Please help and attend the Omni Spring Clean Day on Sun Feb 21st at 12PM To: "Sang S.

We would appreciate anyone and everyone to come on *Sunday Feb 21st* at *12PM*. Part of the day will be cleaning the Kitchens which is a first and easy step.

Bring *cleaning supplies* if you have any to spare - garbage bags, cleaning supplies, gloves and even air filter masks if you’re sensitive to dust or cleaning supplies.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Help Keep Sudo Room Alive!

As a member, we suggest a monthly due of $60, and accept non-monetary contributions such as delicious snacks brought to our Wednesday night meetings. Thanks so much for this message, Karissa. I also want to add to this message that sudoroom is seeking more MEMBERS and PEOPLE! We don't just want you for your money, but we want to find more ways to encourage people to be here and use this wonderful space and take collective ownership of it. I even think that in future messages, the call for people should be put on equal footing with the call for money.

Hi Collective Members - Draft of Clean Up Day Proposal for Sat Feb 20th

by Sang S. Kim

Hi all - this is Sang from the Mess Comedy Group. I was asked to send out an announcement regarding the Cleaning Day proposed for this Saturday Feb 20th at the last Delegates Meeting. Wanted to send out the e-mail today to the General Announce list unless there's any new info that requires us to change / postpone. See the draft below and attached. Welcome any thoughts and input thank you. If you don't want to be on emails like in the future please reply back. Apologies in advance. Best Sang ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a draft of what I was planning to send. Also as print out attachment. Let me know if you want me to delete anything that seems too much info... *MESSAGE BEGINS BELOW. PLEASE ADD / CHANGE. ALSO ATTACHED AS PDF.* *Hello Everyone at Omni Commons! Please help with our Cleaning Day on Feb 20th!* I hope everyone has been enjoying the early spring weather. In that spirit, we are planning a *cleaning day on Sat Feb 20th* during the day and hope you can help out the building and everyone by supporting the Commons with your time. As some of you know, the Omni has been seeing some unwanted visitors in the kitchen downstairs and upstairs. Not only is this unsafe and unhealthy but it is preventing the Omni from being able to share the space for events and activities from other members of the community. As part of our plan to help with the rodent situation, we would appreciate available members to come on *Sat Feb 20th* at *11AM*. Cleaning the Kitchens is a first and easy step. That means cleaning out the fridge, sweeping and wiping down the area. Any food out in the open has to be either sealed in airtight containers or thrown out. Specific ways you can help. 1. *Volunteer your time* for a few hours on Sat Feb 20th 2. Bring *cleaning supplies* if you have any to spare - garbage bags, cleaning supplies, gloves and even air filter masks if you’re sensitive to dust or cleaning supplies. Remember to wear clothes and shoes you are okay cleaning in. 3. Help *Keep the Omni Clean* Every Day - if you use the kitchen, please be respectful and clean up after you prepare food. This doesn't mean just washing dishes and throwing away food but also, cleaning any surface or appliance you use. Also, please throw away food you may have left in the fridge. We hope to see you this Saturday and thank you being considerate to your fellow collective members. This is only the first step towards dealing with the pest situation so *please talk to your Collective's Delegates on how you can help* with future projects to protect the Omni. Thank you!

what ever happened to the Oakland Domain Awareness Center?

What ever happened to the Oakland Domain Awareness Center? This is the last news I found about it - it looks like "good" news since we have a citizen privacy group, but does that mean that the tracking is there now? https://www.revealnews.org/blog/oakland-approves-nations-second-permanent-p… https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/02/oakland-considers-privacy-policy-its-… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Next week's late afternoon/early evening workshops - inspiration from Carl Sagan

by Romy Ilano

Setting the tone for our late afternoon workshops next week at SudoRoom ... they will be running roughly from Monday -> Thursday from around 3pm-5pm. “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” - Carl Sagan, the Demon Haunted World ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

This Thursday is Lecture 2 of Counter Culture Lab's Biohacker Academy. This week we are going over how DNA, RNA, proteins are synthesized in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The terminology we will be teaching is essential for talking about experimental biology. The concepts covered are important for troubleshooting protocols later down the road. Per the class request, we will be using our in house Open Insulin Project to illustrate these topics. The following week we will have the lab course that goes with this topic where we will walk you through DNA extraction and monoculture techniques. RSVP :) http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228535535/ Lab Sunday Feb. 28 10 - 1 ish will be posted. See y'all there :) Mary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Counter Culture Labs" group.
