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?

anyone wanna buy some bitcoins?

by Marc Juul

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? -- marc/juul

Temescal street fair

by Romy Ilano

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 Sent from my iPhone

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-commons] Cleaning @ Omni

Oh yeah, my bad - trash goes out Wed AM - food not bombs has just done such a great job taking care of the bins every week that I haven't thought about it in years :) On May 29, 2017 3:49 PM, "robb" <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 2:50 PM, Jenny Ryan <tunabananas(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> * Garbage and compost still go out on Friday mornings. >> > > are you sure? i thought they went out on tuesday & were picked up on > wednesday a.m. > >

Cleaning @ Omni

by Jenny Ryan

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 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.
