any blocks/objections? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Julio Rios <julio.rios(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, Nov 25, 2018 at 3:25 PM Subject: [omni-finance] Fwd: Will the Omni sponsor CR's 20th Anniversary (December 9th)? To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Cc: <finance(a)omnicommons.org> Delegates, My apologies for not bringing this to a delegates meeting or by email sooner. *Please respond by December 1 if at all possible. * I asked the finance working group if the Omni could formally sponsor this event as an organization, and while everyone in the group agreed that we could and should, they requested that I make a formal request to the delegates since it would entail donating funds to an external group. Last year, I contributed $200 on behalf of the Omni and shared a handful of tickets for Omni folks to attend the Annual Critical Resistance program. This year, the event is even bigger and it features a conversation moderated by Angela Davis celebrating 20 years of prison industrial complex abolition. This year, Laura has agreed to cover half the amount for the minimum organizational contribution of $500, so I am requesting *for the Omni to contribute $250. * Thank you all so much for your consideration in supporting the ongoing work of this highly respected Oakland-based organization aligned with the values and mission of the Omni Commons. If this is approved, l please contact me privately if you are interested in attending the program on behalf of the Omni on December 9.

Asylum Seekers Caravan: Update 2018-11-25

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, I cannot go in details here, because it is not the proper place, besides that I still don't know why; but I was kicked out of the group by the person that I went to join, and later on other two members that came to join the group were asked to leave as well. In our last days the three that got kicked out worked together and it was for the best. We bonded and we became friends, brainstorming and decision making was way easier, horizontal. We, the original group of four, found two asylum seekers in Mazatlan. After that two of us, an Italian gay person and myself, supported the asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. While the two others the group flew from Mazatlan to Tijuana. One of the asylum seekers, man in his 40s, had an accident the day before about 1pm. He tried to aboard a cargo train while in movement. He hit his face against the train, and was ejected back out to he ground, where as he said, "went into sleep really quickly" until in the dark of the night when he was feeling cold. At that time he just dragged himself away from the railroad tracks to avoid potential incoming trains, to just to curl and continue sleeping again until the morning when the sun was too hot. A few hours later we found him. Cuts on his face and hands. In the same railroad area, among train containers, there was a 16 years old and he also was supported. Both of them are now in Tijuana. The kid is in a safe place, with shelter and food, wiht moms and kids, and already got a number enlisting himself for asylum. -I lost contact with the man. But last thing I know is that he has a place where to sleep and eat with the person that kicked me out of the group. I hope he is okay. Both were given new clothes, and shoes while in Mazatlan. The funds came from donations like yours. Thank you for that. We didn't help tons of people, we helped only two. At the beginning when I was in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco I did some short interviews and one of them was with Vivian https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/20/2018-11-18-vivian-a-computer-te… which we kept in touch. At the time, we couldn't help them. But at least we have been on WhatsApp. Yesterday latest news, they were in Mexicali for a few days already and has not eaten, he/she said was hungry. And that a bus was living tomorrow to Tijuana, but for only the ones that can afford the ticket. I sent some money, but they was not able to pick it up, the local store asked for Mexican Electoral ID. So, we lost, 1000 pesos. I had sent enough for Vivian and partner, and some change. I have to say that I didn't ask for money to support my flight ticket to Jalisco. And my expenses there, were covered by donations that my new gay friend had received. During the trip up north Mexico, I was in contact with another small group that was made up of three mom, two husbands, four children (including a baby that was born in Puebla, after jumps of the truck sent the mom to the hospital). https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/24/2018-11-23-ten-days-old-baby-th… There are not public videos of the two we helped directly, because they wanted it private. They allow me to interview them when we arrived to Tijuana, for me to remember them.But they are okay with some photos in my facebook account, you may see them there. Thank you to all of you that supported with moral encouragement, and some that donated. If you feel that you want to donate, because what I lived and experienced and the work I saw done today I recommend https://www.facebook.com/ActivateLabs/ donation point: https://www.facebook.com/donate/485476331860297/ The donate button at https://asylumseekerscaravan.org already reflects this new donation point. Many thanks to all of you, <3! Daniel

Parts drawers organization at sudoroom

by Jake

the noisebridge info system is called stuff-org and was written by Henner, who is local in San Francisco. It was installed on a server at sudoroom recently a few months ago, but it's not fully configured and nobody knows how to use it. although i also like the idea of hot-gluing one item to the front of each parts drawer, although that doesn't help with transistors because you want to know what they're actually good for. So the parts system below would be best: https://github.com/hzeller/stuff-org https://parts.noisebridge.net/status On Thu, 22 Nov 2018, Jared Null wrote: > it's alright, it was a loss to the collective as a whole, it's too bad they couldn't hold on to it any longer, so no fault or blame or anything, they said the've been trying to get rid of it for a year. i was hoping to help replicate an inventory system like NoiseBridge for small components, but i have no idea how their system works. > > If we have something that has 500 drawers in it, it would be pretty annoying if every draw just had random stuff in it, i have a super awesome label maker mp-71 Brady and 1000s of labels and i can pump out labels like a maniac if we ever need things labeled like this. > > HAPPY TURKEY DAY! > Null > > > >> On Nov 21, 2018, at 11:45 PM, Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Argh - sorry for having you come all the way out there for nothing!

Asylum Seekers Caravan update: flight change, two busses stopped by la migra and judicial police

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello all, A really quick update. For more deets, please check: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org. As Jessie had mentioned in a couple occasions, things there with the caravan can change from minute to minute. Well, the ticket from Mexico City had to changed for Guadalajara, and I am leaving tonight 11:20pm. One of the alerting things yesterday, is that a group of folks that went ahead in two buses, not supported by us have to clarify this, were stopped in Agua Prieta, Hermosillo. Based on a video taken by a local woman, a WhatsApp audio convo from one of the asylum seekers, and a report from Pueblo Sin Fronteras, two busses were stopped about 11pm on the night of the 15th. A child and a woman were hurt but Mexican authorities when they were forcefully were taken out the bus. They asylum seekers were scared because they were not being taken to any oficial facility and were just driven around for hours. The asylum seeker reporting at the time that things were happening said her phone was very low in charge. The Mexican authorities involved in this scary stop and arrest were the Mexican Immigration, and Judicial Police. According to one of the asylum seekers, at the moment of the arrest, middle of the night, some asylum seekers escaped. But, as things were developing, the authorities realized that they were getting themselves in a big trouble because there has been a judicial order (Amparo 16-18) given by judge, Jonathan Bass Herrera from a Court in Mexico City and notified to all authorities in the country, that the busses should not be stopped and the asylum seekers be let pass. Eventually all (about 60) were let go, some went to a refuge, and yesterday at about 5am they continue their journey to Tijuana. Also, as seen in the video, a child was with fever and the authorities were told, but as woman says, the Mexican Immigration didn't care and ignored them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=ED9QgsWs3JE Thank you to all of you for your moral support, and for your donations. To donate: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan Special thanks to Noisebridge <https://noisebridge.net> for directly assisting me during my preparation for this trip.Thanks Silver, thanks Steve, and others there.

2018/11/15 A quick update about the Asylum Seekers Caravan.

by danarauz＠gmail.com

Hello All, this a very quick update. * Donation Status - https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan * New Website - https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/ * Caravan and Jessie's whereabouts. * Goal Status * I am going in. *Donation Status*, out current goal is 15K and so far we have close to 6k. Please donate and you haven't done it. The website it is here: https://rally.org/asylumseekerscaravan *New Website*, this past Sunday I went to the Aaron Swartz Day event at the Internet Archive in SF. While there I got to see some familiar faces, and also I met more officially Steve Phillips from Noisebridge. Anyhow, to make the story short, since I have to go sleep, and wake up early for work, Steve kindly volunteered to help our group to migrate our just plain html static website to a WorkPress type, where the public and others group members can also add content. Steve and I did an all nighter right after the Aaron's event, working all night at Noisebridge and going home about 8am. Similar hacker schedule followed the next two night, which ended in our nice website. Many thanks Steve. Muy agradecido. *Jessie* followed the caravan from Mexico City to Queretaro, and then she returned to Mexico City when she learned that more asylum seekers were coming. Jessie, been talking and interviewing and learning more about the situation. T*he Goal*, which we are very laser focus, is as mentioned on my previous email and as the donation site mentions, is to provide transportation to as many we can to women, children, and LGBTQ vulnerable folks. And for what we have collected in donation, we are about to make the first trip from Mexico City to Tijuana. As Jessie reports, the situation there is very fluid, so not only things change moment to moment, but also she has to be very patience and wait for their choices. But, again, the first trip is this Sunday. *This weekend.* And the money that we have is only allowing about 60 people. We could offer more, if more folks would donate. The road I have taken many years ago, and there a very long one, and empty areas and distance town in between. Circling back to Jessie, in a way, because she is by herself, someone else (I am not sure if I can mention his name here) is coming over this Saturday. And, about half hour ago or so I bought a flight ticket to go help them both. Three of us will go with asylum seekers all the way to Tijuana. I am scheduled to arrive to Mexico City on Saturday morning. *I am going in, *and my intention is to team up with the other two in this task, and at the same time try to document the trip photographing. I am not sure how long I am going to be there, but the most that I can push it is until Dec 8. I should be uploading photos at my flickr account, so if you want to help spread the word, feel free to use those photos, they are intended to be here: https://flickr.com/danielarauz/sets, as often as it will possible. Please, if you haven't donate, please do. We really are using every single cent to support those in need. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GB4sbZ9BtA Also here: https://asylumseekerscaravan.org/2018/11/14/2018-11-10-jessie-live-heart-br… Thank you, and sinceramente muchas gracias de antemano for your time and donations. Daniel I am available via Signal, Wire, WhatsApp at: 415.336.9143.

*Trash and recycling bin reminders*

by Laura Turiano

Hi everyone, I think the trash and recycling has been working pretty well since mid October. Thanks are due to everyone who has dealt with Omni waste in any form! Yesterday I was told that the bins aren't always being put out on the sidewalk, however. So here is a reminder of who has agreed to do what, when. If any of this isn't working for you, please let me know and we can set up something else. *Monday afternoon/night: Food Not Bombs puts out brown and green bins for Tuesday pick up* *Wednesday afternoon/night: SudoRoom puts out blue recycling and cardboard (flattened and bundled with twine) for Thursday pick up.* *Thursday afternoon/night: Phat Beets puts out brown and green bins for Friday pick up* In general, if you see the bins are on the sidewalk and empty, please move them back into the trash room. Hasta la victoria - Laura

water leak in upstairs bathroom

by Jake

I have many times gone into the upstairs (near the shower) bathroom and found the hot water tap freely running. Every time I do, i turn off the supply valve from underneath, because the problem is that the faucet valve is not sealing and is likely continuing to run even when people shut it off. this is basic maintenance that's not happening. The cost of running hot water continuously is primarily energy, because the hot water heater is burning natural gas (or is it electricity?) to heat fresh drinking water that's then being sent down the drain. The solution is to re-valve or replace the hot water faucet in the upstairs bathroom so it shuts off properly. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2018 23:26:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> To: discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org, building(a)lists.omnicommons.org Subject: water leak in upstairs bathroom i feel like i wrote this email a while ago but i'm not sure. the bathroom in the corner of the upstairs bathroom (next to the kitchen) hot water faucet is leaking, flowing openly continuously, unless it is vigorously forced off. This does not happen. when i go into that bathroom (which is not often) i see that the hot water is just flowing. Because the seal in the valve is worn out. So i turned off the service valve under the sink to turn off the water to the faulty valve. But someone else turns it back on. and then people leave the water on. Omni has probably used thousands of gallons and hundreds of dollars in water alone, not to mention the wasted energy and money of heating all that hot water that's then flowing into the sewers. I am not going to replace the valve, but i'm here to point out the problem and hopefully someone will fix it. If not, i'll block off the pipe since it's something I know how to do, but it would be a waste of effort since it needs to be repaired properly anyway. will someone please confirm they'll take care of this? -jake
