internet down at Omni

by Jake

this Tuesday afternoon I was disappointed to discover that the internet was not working at Omni. I found that the DSL modem we rent from LMI had no link to the outside world, and that neither of the two phone lines it's supposed to connect to are active. I called LMI and started a trouble ticket, and scheduled a visit by AT&T who is responsible for our phone lines arriving at the building. After getting off the phone (right before LMI closed for the day) i plugged a phone directly into the entry point box in the corner of the Phat Beats room and confirmed that the problem is NOT inside our building. The phone lines coming into our building cross the street to the construction zone across 48th street, so I assume they cut our lines. Hopefully AT&T will come fix it tomorrow. The LMI ticket number for this incidnt is 78496 They have my phone number, and if they arrive and have trouble getting in the front door or into the room with the phone boxes I can buzz them in and tell them the lock combo. Hopefully they will come tomorrow afternoon. Separately, i noticed that our DSL modem was only connected to one of the two phone lines, which would have halved our bandwidth. We should fix that by finding a four-conductor phone cable with RJ13 ends, and using it to connect the modem to the jack on the wall in the server area. -jake

Re: [sudo-discuss] House Clean-Out & Welcoming Committee

by Marcus Zamani

Hey all, Laura reminded me that next Sunday is Mother's Day. which doesn't seem a good date to have a work/painting party. That said let's push everything, but the book removal over one week: Book deadline still Mon May 15 Front hall cleaning & painting: Sun May 21 Omni Pay What You Can Sale: Sun May 28 (if the ballroom is still open that day) Dump run: Tues May 30 Hello Omni, The Welcoming Working Group is slowly getting more organized, sorry it’s taking so long, if you would like to sign-up for a door shift you can add your name to our online shift tracker… https://www.omnicommons.org/frontdesk Even if someone has already signed up on a shift you want go ahead and sign up for the same time as well. That’s actually a good thing, because then someone can stay watching the door while someone else can give tours. We will also be compiling a door shift training manual very soon that goes over Omni rules that must be followed and how to greet/interact with visitors. We are going to be painting and beautifying the front entryway next Sunday May 14. Painting, which will encompass the walls and ceiling, will begin at 5pm. Before painting though some prep work needs to get done, including patching some holes in the walls, replacing ceiling tiles and consolidating & organizing wires, this will happen Saturday night & Sunday morning/afternoon. Contact me if you would like to paint, patch, glue or whatever else in this endeavor. There’s a lot of work to get the whole main hall beautified and part of that is we are shifting, moving, donating books that were a part of the former library. That said, if there are any books you would like to keep for yourself GET THEM NOW, they will be donated and gone by Monday May 15. The Omni Pay What You Can Sale is going down Sunday May 21 all afternoon in the ballroom. I am personally motivated to clear out the basement again, but this is an opportune time for any group or area of Omni to get cleaned out. If there is something your collective wants to get rid of please get it ready for the move to the ballroom. We’re asking that you keep that stuff in your area until the day of the sale, DO NOT move it to the main hall or basement. If you absolutely need the space in your area before May 21 you may move it to the basement ONLY if you are giving your word of honor that you personally will carry it up from the basement to the ballroom on the day of the event. Stuff that does not make its way out via the sale will be hauled away to the dump Tuesday May 23. Hopefully the sale will have generated enough cash to pay for the dump runs. Come to the Welcoming Working Group meetings Mondays @ 5pm or contact me personally if you have any questions or want to help, Marcus

package and mail delivery at Omni

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Did anyone see an Amazon package for CCL that was supposedly delivered Sunday morning? 12"x10", but relatively light. Please let me know - it has some more rodent abatement materials that I was hoping to try out for the Phat Beets room. Also, did the mail cubbyholes get moved to a different location? They are no longer behind the front desk area. If anyone is willing to take the lead on getting us a larger and more secure mailbox with one or more package drops, that would be greatly appreciated! I think CCL can contribute a few hundred, but I'm not personally able to coordinate this right now. Thanks! Patrik

Fwd: [sudo-info] Mediation Letter: Robert Albert Young Chu

by Jenny Ryan

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Robert Chu" <robert.chu01(a)gmail.com> Date: May 21, 2017 1:52 PM Subject: [sudo-info] Mediation Letter: Robert Albert Young Chu To: <info(a)sudoroom.org> Cc: Dear Sudo Room Community & The Omni Commons at Large, Approximately two years ago, I was asked to leave the Omni Commons for a month, and to only come back if I have a person who would sponsor(chaperon) my presence. My attempt to return has been self-prolonged so that I can focus on other major aspects of my life. I attended the April Sudo Room meeting to discuss my mediation and return more in depth, explained I do not want to do the sponsor item upon my return because I feel it would be healthier to come back when thorough mediation has occurred with the elements of clear communication, assurance, certainty, and expectations. At that very positive and supportive meeting, we were able to go over a bit about how my behavior was negative, destructive, and hazardous to the community. I also was able to express lightly some of the reasons for my inconvenient actions, which particularly were based on my narrow-sided and hyper-focused, mindset at the time. I then asked the people in attendance, for guidance to continue forth with my mediation. The optimal response I received was to write a letter to the Sudo Room community with some specifics that should be included, then come to the meeting after to discuss. At that time in my life two-three years ago, I was not really in a stable situation, and was spending an excessive and unhealthy amount of time at the Omni Commons. Not to mention was the cause of me being banned from another Hackerspace. It was through my own idiosyncrasy, which caused my narrow-sided hyper-focused mindset; encompassed by the semi-obsessive desire to get projects completed. At the time I was unable to realize these bugs in my personality and how my actions affected the people around me, nor the negative impacts they have attributed too. In the meeting, I also discussed some of the my life changes over the past two years-positively exonerating some of my previous destructive personality traits. Which instilled a calmer, thoughtful, open mind, to my current presence. Some changes I merit are: first ever family road trip with my sister (whom we were split up with since we were kids), brother in law, and immediate family, to Mexico for the holidays, renting a car for the first time, going on a solo road trip for the first time, changing my diet, quitting alcohol and caffeine, working out, and setting obtainable goals for myself. It was through my patience that I decided not to immediately pursue mediation because it would have been very similar (history would have repeated), but rather minimize that to work on other areas of my life. While I was away, I obtained solid housing, started receiving disability (for an assault & 2²" hole left in my skull), medical/dental, working out/fasting, bought a car, taking classes, traveling, got a gym membership, and finally was able to have the tranquility to sit down and write this letter. I have also personally grown from the previous two years. Being able to return to Sudo Room and the Omni Commons is paramount to me for the aspects of learning, community, place to complete projects, like mindedness, relationship building (and yes repairing), and also because of the good nature it has at large. As stated earlier, Mediation, Assurance, Certainty, Expectations, and Communication, being achieved (especially with the people that were impacted negatively) are my own standards for returning. In addition, after my potential return, I infer that my past destructive patterns of my behavior, will not be a problem because of the positive personal changes. Some are: a lot more centered, better at listening to others advice, and have a clearer understanding of my own present day actions and their impacts. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, as we continue to work on our mediation together. -Due to the length please before the next meeting or or make time for review during the meeting (June 12th).

wifi is borked

by Morgan Allen

After changes made on Tuesday the wifi has been super flaky. DNS lookups start failing after a certain period, disconnecting/reconnecting wont fix but switching APs might. But it will happen again on that one. So far I've seen similar symtons on sudomesh, peoples and Omni Commons

Server Area: Clean Up + Organizing Stuff + Migrating Network Gear and Connections Between Racks (It already started.)

by danarauz＠gmail.com

*Hello All, * Today (Saturday) thanks to Marc, Rob, and yours truly the server "cage" area got some Love. : ) It still needs more love, but with a vacuum and a brush to get the dust out under the four post rack, and production gear itself. And not to mention all the wiring that will need to be redone (but this for part the future). *AN IDEA IN PROGRESS: * Migrate all gear and patch panels into the four post rack, so we gain more space by removing the two posts rack. *MOVING THINGS IN AND OUT:* * The three old red servers that were not in used were removed. * The server that Marc had configure (I forgot what is what the told me he had configured) got install in the four post rack. * The 2 HP switches got moved to the 2 post rack to the 4post rack. * There is old stuff and things we are not going to use. I feel we should check with Marcus and see if we can add these items to the "pay what you can" sale event. Rob suggested to have a list and announce the items for that sale, and also suggested that we put some of that stuff in eBay. *NEW (USED) GEAR THINGS RUNNING:* * The 24 and 38 HP switches are running along w the Ruckus wireless controller, and one of Ruckus Access Points. * This AP was temporarily set on top of one of the servers and pointing to the Sudoroom tables, pushing the "Omni Commons" SSID. :) *COMING TO OMNI EARLY IN THE MORNING:* I am considering to come to omni about 6:30am (after taking my better half to work). *PLAN FOR SUNDAY EARLY MORNING PLAN:* Since I am going to the there early, and Marc already gave me the Gateway Server interfaces (LANs) overview, I feel that it would be a good time to swap their cables to connect to the HP switches, and these to feed the Dell Switches instead. By doing this I don't perceive anything going south. *WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?:* Marc and I talked about it, and we agreed that doing this will allow us to have a nicer and controlled migration, so we don't have to do that all at once. This is trivial, now that I know what LANs is each interface at the Linux server level. *BTW:* We started about 11AM something, and ended about 7:40PM. It was a whole day thing. Thank you, and please let me know if you have any questions. I will check email before starting anything tomorrow. Daniel Arauz Signal: 415.336.9143
