Pineapple Fund

by Jenny Ryan

Hey sudoers ~ If anyone has the spoons, sudo room should apply for some funding from http://pineapplefund.org/ I'm on vacation with family, already wrote one for Omni and People's Open and trying to launch the kitchen campaign <https://omnicommons.org/kitchen>, or I'd do it myself. It's really simple - just a one line description of the project and a paragraph on how we'd spend the $$$. Obviously, I think we should ask for ~$10-100K to build out a second level to the space, upgrade our equipment and supplies, and maybe funds for hard drives and screens and such so we can fix up broken laptops and distribute them to our many neighbors in need. There, I just basically wrote it for ya ;) just needs some polish! and I'm sure any one of you inventive souls have great ideas on what we could do with a lil BTC :) Also, I think we should launch a crowdfunding campaign next year, perhaps using BitGive's newly-released GiveTrack <https://www.givetrack.org/> platform. Sudo's never run a fundraising campaign in all of our 6 years of existence, and the time is ripe to finally do so and build upwards! <3 Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

JS night (holiday)

by Lesley Bell

Hello all, I won't be at/hosting js night tonight because it is the holidays and I'm guessing not many people will be there. Just a heads up. For anyone who is thinking of going without door access, there will usually be someone around to let you in, but I can't guarantee it. Best, Lesley

Fwd: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs

by Patrik D'haeseleer

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Christopher Schardt <atman(a)schardt.org> Date: Wed, Dec 20, 2017 at 5:05 PM Subject: [dorkbotsf-blabber] Gift economy: Firmament LEDs To: Dorkbot-Blabber <dorkbotsf-blabber(a)googlegroups.com> Hi, So last spring/summer I had to replace all of Firmament's LED modules. Now I have 20,000 or so modules to give away. Most of them work, but I can't guarantee which ones will and for how long, since they were all treated badly by the Houston rains. Each bag contains 435 or 465 modules in strings. The strings are attached to the bird netting that made up Firmament's old canopy. There are JST connectors at both ends of most of the strings, and power taps at the end of every string. All wiring is 18ga. Each module contains a WS2801 chip and 3 5050 RGB LEDs. They run on 12VDC. You'll need a PixelPusher or other LED controller to make them do anything. First come, first served!

Launching a crowdfunding campaign to renovate Omni's kitchen this Sunday - help spread the word!

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings omninoms! For those not yet aware, Omni intends to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Sunday to raise funds toward renovating the commercial kitchen in the basement! *if you get the gist, you can proceed directly to the kitchen wiki page <https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Kitchen> and/or peruse the CAMPAIGN ACTION KIT <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YRIoL5jlmgxZMBdLQibWNn39gD7wSLx-EgCBbdM…>* We need *ALL HANDS ON DECK *to help spread the word. In particular: - reach out directly to folks in your networks who you think would donate, and ask them if they could contribute when the campaign launches. pre-pledges help ensure successful campaigns. here's some sample text you can use <https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/kitchen-pre-ask> (tx be to julian!) - do you have any press contacts you could tap? we are drafting a press release <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T3xUefmfxntMbin02Nf--R4BsQslth2SZ7Vl7NA…> to be published on Monday after our soft 'community launch' and have zilch lined up so far - can you or your group offer (and follow through on) a perk/reward for certain donation levels? get in touch! - when we launch on sunday, help spread the word by sharing, retweeting, and sending to any and all relevant mailing lists! - do you have a spare hour or two to help with social media, press outreach, door-to-door flyering, graphic design (eg, a facebook cover image people could use?), making a short video or blog post, organizing an event, etc? join the kitchen working group mailing list <https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/kitchen> and/or attend the next meeting - Wednesdays at 6pm in the Basement Library! Check out the wiki page at omnicommons.org/kitchen for more info on the project, including the awesome campaign video <https://omnicommons.org/omnikitchen.mp4> produced largely by the ever-rad-Anka (and starring some of the most OG Food Not Bombs organizers!). -- more info:--- Given the holiday season, the extensive burdens on every activist's energy these days, and a host of other complexities and circumstances, we've decided to break up the campaign into 3 phases. For this first phase, our goal is to raise $15,000 - which will enable us to pull the permits, demo the walls for expansion of the area, and get most if not all of our plumbing work done. The subsequent two phases will have goals of $20K each - though by the end of this first campaign we hope to have a solid lead or two on a significant grant or donor. There are many dangling threads and the kitchen crew could definitely use more support to carry this off. Please do lend a hand, however which way you can!

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Updated Cafe Proposal

by robb

Following is an amendex draft of the the Sin Fronteras Cafe proposal ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Laura Turiano" <scylla(a)riseup.net> Date: Dec 19, 2017 5:03 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Updated Cafe Proposal To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, " consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: Hi everyone, Here is the updated cafe proposal. Some things have been modified based upon the feedback received so far, most of which has been positive. If you have any feedback from your collectives, friendly amendments, questions, etc. it would be really helpful to have them before the meeting on Thursday. This will be the 3rd meeting at which the Cafe has been discussed, and the second since the proposal was submitted. Collectives all should have discussed it, and I hope we can consense on some version of it on Thursday so we can sign a lease beginning January 1st. If you are going to be the delegate on Thursday, please come prepared with your collective's response. Laura *Updated proposal to build and open a coffee bar, Cooperative Cafe Sin Fronteras, at Omni Commons* * Dear Omni Commons, Sin Fronteras Coffee is a worker-owned co-op created by Rocio Cervantes, and Jose Rodriguez from Akat Cafe <http://akatcafekalli.com>, a community space and sustainable cafe, and Michelle Gutierrez and Abad Leyva. Michelle is a therapist/photographer working for people of color in East Oakland. Abad is an independent filmmaker and founder of Encinal Oakland, a community organization fighting stigma and discrimination through multimedia projects. We propose to become an Omni Commons member collective and open a coffee/limited food location which will serve the North Oakland community and Omni Commons. Sin Fronteras Coffee will offer fair trade Zapatista coffee from Chiapas, and work directly with the farmers. We also see the need in our communities, where people struggle balancing a busy and poor life, for the cafe to be a model of dignified work at a living wage. Once established, Sin Fronteras Coffee will give to members of disenfranchised communities the opportunity to learn to run a sustainable, autonomous cooperative business. Our commitment to horizontal growth means that we will support and promote others to open similar small, worker-owned co-ops. Our proposal for Omni Commons: 1. Collective Structure. Worker owned co-op, new owners by invitation only. 1. Community Benefit. Cultural and political education and social events; support for events at the Omni with Cafe service; once we are established, youth internships. In the future, financial and business training to co-op members and employees. 1. Schedule. Proposed hours of operation (subject to change) 7:30am-5:30pm Mon-Fri and cafe service for events at Omni collectives with anticipation. We will establish a system to request cafe service during events. 1. Security. Conversation needed re. protection of equipment and safety after cafe hours. We will position equipment with safety in mind. We will consider increased security and protection of equipment, if needed, in a way that decoratively and artistically contributes to the space. 1. Source of Goods. We aim to serve organic and just trade coffee from Zapatista cooperatives in Chiapas, Mexico. All produce, pastries and dairy will be sourced through local suppliers 1. Community Market. Opportunities for Omni Commons collectives and other POC, Women Owned, Queer Owned businesses to showcase their products. 1. Lease details. 1. Parties: The Omni Commons (“Lessor”) Sin Fronteras Coffee (“Lessee”) 2. Premises: Omni Commons 3. Term: 2 years with 2 2-year options to renew. 4. Commencement: January 1, 2018 5. Use: Coffee/Limited Food 6. Base Rent: $800 a month plus approximately $250 utilities (garbage, PG&E, internet, water based on what other collectives pay). This rate gives 24/7 access to the building for cafe operations; and the ability to hold events in the Entrance Hall at the time the lease is signed. Free use of the Ballroom for occasional large events will be available at the end of the rental abatement period (see below). Lessee will pay property taxes levied on the Lessor by Alameda County due to its non-charitable status. Rent will increase by 3% annually. 7. Insurance: Lessee shall obtain general commercial liability insurance with liability limits not less than $1,000,000/$2,000,000 aggregate, a Waiver of Subrogation, and naming Lessor (Omni Commons) as an additionally insured. 8. Start-up Costs & Build Out: We estimate the build-out and improvement costs at approx $8,000. Omni Commons will abate our monthly rent for 6 months to help Sin Fronteras manage this initial investment. Sin Fronteras will begin paying for utilities from the time of lease signing. 9. Improvements: Lessee shall provide the following improvements, using building standard finishes, subject to a mutually acceptable space plan, and all applicable permits: - Coffee Bar - Plumbing and Electrical upgrades - Appropriate tile and floor finishing - Painting 10. Storage: Extra storage will be included, approximately 10 sq ft in basement . 11. Parking: Only street parking. 13. Security Deposit: Upon lease execution, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a security deposit equivalent to the last month’s rent. 14. Financials: Lessee will be responsible for funding of leasehold improvements.
