I said "your 'community' space," but honestly, I still want this to be my space, too. I hardly ever make a fuss about any of this stuff because it's all so futile, you know? but in this case, I really want to make my point clear: I think we should rescind our action against Rannette. I think she's been treated unfairly. Even if she is "aggressive" towards you or your compatriots, I don't think we need white dudes policing our space of black women's bodies. Matt, you claim to have acted in another's interest and you offer an injured third party -- let them speak for themselves, because I don't think it's your place right now. If there was a violent incident that threatened our space, let's hear it from a witness or an involved party. "Something Happened" is not good enough. Otherwise "but above all the Omni Commons must maintain a safe, welcoming environment" seems to fly directly in the face of the lived experience of too many black people.

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

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCL] Free Scanning Electron Microscope in Pleasanton! (was Fwd: [Microscopy] viaWWW:SMI3200 FIB system looking for a good home)

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Here's some images of the Seiko SMI 3200 Scanning Electron Microscope that is in need of a new home: http://www.beamservices.com/used-equipment.html http://www.caeonline.com/listing/product/9025735/seiko-smi-3200 Note that this is NOT a small system! It's not huge as SEM's go, but definitely not desktop - more like "small room sized". And it would obviously need some dedicated person to keep it in good running condition. It is however almost brand new, and currently *running*, at <5nm resolution! Beam Services Inc is down in Pleasanton, so I guess interested parties could potentially go and have a look at the system. This kind of equipment would be a significant commitment and investment in time and effort on our part, so let's coordinate on this shall we?

development of new wordpress site for omnicommons.org

by Matt Senate

Hey all, I've been working on https://omnicommons.org/blog as a replacement to omnicommons.org and seeing how far we can go to simplify our lives in that regard. I'm not married to any of the content, and most of the style. This theme is selected because it's a really simple mobile-oriented genesis-based (therefore super-fast-loading) child theme. I'd be down to style it out a lot or just a little to move us forward. Events Manager and the ESS feed are not working, so that's got to end. This is the most promising event plugin I've found so far: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=33 I love it! However, the "frontend submit" form plugin (an extension to the basic eme plugin) leaves something to be desired. See here how we can customize it a bit: https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-made-easy-frontend-submit/faq/ Attached is a form template I started working on, but that doesn't quite implement the drop-down menu for locations properly (locations do not get successfully saved). If anyone has bandwidth, I could use a hand fixing up a better custom form that especially can: - Restrict locations to those pre-defined in wordpress and made available as a drop-down menu on the front end. - Allow for submitting recurring event requests (only single works right now as far as I can tell, but the admin event add forms allow for recurrence) - Adds the additional fields necessary to successfully replace our current booking form. LMK if anyone wants to meet up to hack on this.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sleepers

by robb

for the record, Chris recently brought us many very useful audio cables (1/8" - xlr) including some that are hard to find (i was going to have to make em). i know that doesn't buy one's way out of abusing the space but maybe it warrants one last warning before a ban. either way, thank you, Juul, for addressing this pervasive matter.
