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

Fwd: Join us for Microscopy 101 & 401 class at CCL Sat morning!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

*Join us for our Microscopy meetup tomorrow morning at CCL <https://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/241864024/>! *We'll have something for newbies and experts alike... We'll give a tour of the microscopes we have available at CCL, show you which one to use for which purpose, how how to use them, and which ones to prioritize for repair. Feel free to bring in your own scope if you have one, and we'll be happy to teach you how to use it (and/or diagnose what's wrong with it...) For the microscopy experts, we'll also go over the fancy super-resolution STED microscope we've just been donated by BioCuriuous! This kind of equipment would normally start in the $200K range. A dedicated team at BioCurious spent more than a year building this one from scratch <https://sites.google.com/site/biocuriousmicroscopewiki/>, starting from the microscope engine out of a donated GA IIx DNA sequencer - a piece of machinery that probably cost well over $500K itself when it was new just a few years ago. A truly unique piece of equipment. STED microscopy <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy> is one of the techniques used to break the diffraction limit in optical microscopy, allowing visualization of subcellular structures that were previously only accessible using electron microscopy! We are looking to build an expert user group around this new instrument, so come join us and help us get it up and running to do some awesome science with it! Patrik

bicycles and parts gathering in sudoroom

by Jake

there is a bicycle frame without wheels, a fender, and five wheels and three tires floating around sudoroom, as well as two bicycles that do not belong to anyone who is here right now. I don't think people should be using sudoroom as a place to store their vehicles, and large projects like bicycles should not be stored here except for very limited situations like a project that takes more than one day. People have been working very hard on cleaning up the space and the electronics waste pile is huge. It will be cleared out soon and I hope we can deal with the bicycles too, and then we can start looking at other large items like the embroidery machine and juki sewing machine table, and get those out of here. If anyone knows whose bicycle frame and wheels these are, or whose whole bicycles these are being stored here, please ask them to take them somewhere else when they're not visiting sudoroom. what do people think of that? -jake

Event this Saturday: 4Love, Science and Liberation

by Julio Rios

Hey Commoners, I'll be helping out with this event Saturday morning 10am-1pm. stop by the ballroom if it sounds interesting to you. How can science be used as a tool for liberation? Scientists and community organizer, Kendra Krueger, guides us through a process of reclaiming science as a tool for personal and social liberation. We’ll take a look at decolonizing the language of our current scientific paradigm and exploring the intersections of science, social justice, art and intuitive technologies. Using movement, games and physics we’ll reintegrate the analytical and intuitive mind and discover new methods to liberate our mind, body and spirit through knowledge, knowing and finding out.
