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.
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
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.htmlhttp://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?

i am out of town for tonight and next week's edition of Hardware Hacking
Tuesday!
who will host in my place? you just have to welcome new people to the space,
help them find places to sit or hack, and try to help them with their projects,
etc..
It turns out that sudo room suddenly has $8,600 in bitcoin!
How did this happen? I don't know!
I think we should immediately sell at least enough to pay our debt to Omni.
Any sudo members who think we shouldn't just sell every single bitcoin
right now while the price is high?

Hey I have an idea ... why don't we have a mom focused shopping area during the temescal street fair?
It would be a killer way to make dollars !
Good ideas
- toys
- self help books 📚 or zines focused on sewing / tech embroidery
- donation jars where we hug people and give them inspirational quote posters

Hey all,
I'm also going to compile these into a 'best practices' guide to post to
the wiki and around the space. Please add to this thread if I've missed
anything:
*Products:*
In the interest of becoming a more accessible space for those with chemical
sensitivities, I've been slowly ordering unscented cleaning products in
bulk:
* There's a big jug of Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds, an unscented general purpose
cleaner that can be diluted for use in mopping floors, cleaning toilet
bowls, and wiping down surfaces.
* There are two gallon jugs of unscented liquid hand soap for the bathrooms
- use 4 parts water to every part soap. I've ordered 4 wall-mountable foam
pump dispensers for the bathrooms, but they won't arrive for a few weeks.
* Please do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals in the common areas,
though if you must (eg; cleaning up rodent droppings), ventilate the area
as best you can afterwards.
*Supplies Storage:*
* You should know by now that most of our bulk cleaning and paper supplies,
such as trash bags, trifold paper towels and toilet paper, can be found in
the cleaning closet at the top of the wheelchair lift across from the Kids
Room. If you notice supplies are running low, please send a ping to
finance@omnicommons!
* Some basic supplies, such as trash bags, a broom, some cleaning products,
can also be found in the closet located between the refrigerator and the
upstairs Disco Room bathroom.
* Disco Room bathroom has a stock of TP, hand soap, and paper towels in the
cabinets.
* Mop buckets and mops live upstairs in the washout room near the DR
bathroom. There are usually one or two in the sudo/CCL bathroom as well.
* There is a rodent abatement crate in the secure tool storage closet -
though I have not seen the mister around lately. More on pest control and
cleaning protocol at https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Pest_control
*Trash & Recycling:*
* We recently switched to CiviCorps <http://www.civicorpsrecycling.org> for
recycling service, a local nonprofit that has a training program for
low-income youth. Pickup is Thursday mornings, so if sudoers around on
Wednesdays could help with pulling the blue bins to the curb, that would be
rad.
* *CiviCorps offers free e-waste removal!! *Don't just put e-waste on the
curb, however - the pickup needs to be requested and an inventory form
filled out:
http://www.civicorpsrecycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Civicorps-Recy…
(i'll print out a bunch of these and put them in the sudo's 'front desk'
area).
* Garbage and compost still go out on Friday mornings. Garbage is regularly
in a state of overflow - so if you help or host any large events please
remember that all large events are responsible for taking their trash out
at the end of the event.
*To Dos:*
* Install paper towel dispenser in sudo/CCL bathroom (there are several
located in the secure storage closet)
* Replace flushing valve in sudo/CCL bathroom
* Install hand soap dispensers once they arrive
* Could stand to do another round of rodent abatement - finding and
covering holes; deep cleaning of basement, trash room, and sudo; setting
more traps; and *shudder* dealing with the crawl spaces/vents.
Yours in the mundane yet necessary,
Jenny
