Omni Proposal: Fiscally Sponsor a grant for the North American Anarchist Studies Network

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings omninoms! Hoping we can pass this tomorrow - it's relatively low-impact wrt accounting and risk. Proposal is via Bill Budington, a longtime sudo room member and regular event organizer: This is a request for the Omni Commons to be the fiscal sponsor for the > Grassroots Infrastructure Trust ( > http://site.www.umb.edu/faculty/salzman_g/Grass/Trust/index.htm) grant, > given to the North American Anarchist Studies Network for the purpose of > funding our annual conference. This conference, held this year in Montreal, > QC, Canada, and next year in Atlanta, GA, USA, is to advance the study of > topics concerning anarchist infrastructure, revolutionary potential, and > non-hierarchical living. It features speakers from across so-called North > America and indeed, around the world. The grant was rewarded in the sum of > $2000. > > For more information, visit https://wiki.naasn.org/. > <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.

Sudoroom: Secure Polling System

i prefer that instead of setting up Loomio, we implement the first-ever instance of Secure Polling System!

Ravers Ambitions, New Sudoroom Collaborative Project

by Robert Chu

Hello Sudoroom Community, About two months ago Ravers Ambitions was created for the sole purposes of 1. Community Building 2. Education Through Collaboration (ETC). Rave stands for Radical Audio Visual Experience; which involves many artistic, technical, disciplinary, and organizational elements. Learning these skills alone could potentially be very difficult as an individual and extremely time consuming. However that time is shortened when people come together to share skills in a community/collaborative environment. And the diversity of skills acquired are much richer when engaged with members from different backgrounds, with different skill sets. We've had our first general meet up to make introductions, and plan around the purpose of this collaboration. We then had an informal (5 person) lesson, on the Introduction to DJing. During these workshops, regular contributors came as far from Marin, and San Jose, to provide expensive, professional grade equipment, for the five hour meetups alone. There also have been Sudoroom Members Omni Community regulars, whom participated. There quite a few elements that are emulated from Hackerspace Ethos, with as well. Nobody is in charge. Are transparent. Operate by consensus. Learning, workshops, tutoring or mentoring sessions, happen because people make them happen. Ravers Ambitions is the community that supports that. We still are new and planning workshops such as: 1) Technical Equipment (audio, lighting, video, etc) Setup, Maintenance, and Breaking down. 2) Dancing: An Introduction to Movement With Sound 3) Basics of DJing, 4) Visual Arts (LEDs, lazor display, video mapping, painting, etc), and more. In addition I wish this project to be discussed at the next Sudoroom meeting and be brought up for consensus as an official Sudoroom project.This is so that if there is questions, comments, or concerns, they can be expressed. Also to let the larger Sudoroom Community know of this project as well. Thank you Sudoroom for the support. - Rayc Robert Albert Young Chu P::415-724-0425 E:: robert.chu01(a)gmail.com

Spectacular Movements screening Wednesday June 13

by Julio Rios

Omnifolk! There is a cool film showing on Wednesday in the ballroom. Unfortunately, I can't be there, but Robb will be in case you have questions. Thanks, Julio ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mateo Hinojosa <mateo(a)nativeland.org> Date: Thu, Jun 7, 2018 at 6:01 PM Subject: Re: Spectacular Movements screening The film, *Spectacular Movements* follows the young indigenous and mestizo actors of Teatro Trono in Bolivia, who stir up collective memories of the social movements that sparked the latest revolution, and create performances for their itinerant theater-truck and the street, manifesting the spirits of the dead themselves to seek delayed justice and creative transformation. Here's the trailer: https://vimeo.com/110611251. We are delighted to have Iván, the founder of Teatro Trono, present for a Q&A along with director Mateo Hinojosa. This is a film that was collaboratively made with Bolivian theater- and movement-makers, about social, political and identity movements, and so it is a film to see in community—hope to see you there! WHEN: Wed, June 13, 6:30-9pm, projection beginning at 7pm WHERE: Omni Commons, 4799 Shattuck, Oakland Please spread the word!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Hi all, Does anyone have one of those pop-up canopies that we could borrow for our CCL booth at the Temescal Street Fair this Sunday? I believe I've seen one in the basement at one point, but I don't know if it's still there, or who it belongs to... Thanks! Patrik

Omni Media Lab: Initial Convergence

by Jenny Ryan

Let's have a meetup to discuss visions, values, and available resources to build out a community media lab in Omni's basement! Tonight, the Omni consensed on Art Bison Design Coop's move to the basement and transition to becoming a community screenprinting studio! Perhaps an ABDC member could speak to what that might entail for the basement and what would be needed wrt renovations/improvements? Afterwards, we initiated a conversation about ongoing ideas over the past many months to build out a truly inter-collective community media lab for creating rad propaganda, zines, banners etc: * Over the past 9 months, there have been many discussions about, and a > good deal of work put into, the basement area formerly known as Material > Print Machine as a potential inter-collective media lab for printing, > copying, button-making, screenprinting, banner-making, zine-making, > newspapers etc. Interested folks who've discussed the idea and/or worked on > cleaning and clearing out that space include Jenny, Robb, Abe, Julian, > Needa Bee, Marcus, and others I'm probably forgetting right now. > ** The structure that seems most fitting is that of a working group, open > to anyone to join and help steward and maintain the resources we already > have available. The idea would be to lock valuable materials / supplies in > a cabinet and host workshops, media-making sessions and offer access based > on sliding-scale donations to cover materials/supplies/maintenance costs. > ** For more info on the resources we already have available as well as a > proposed layout, see: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Basement#Media_Lab > Continued discussion in the meeting notes at https://pad.riseup.net/p/omninom ... maybe not mentioned: the lighting ballasts need to be replaced. There are some interim lighting solution tee'd up beneath the bench dat robb built. *I'd like to propose an initial meetup of folks interested in working on this project for the afternoon of Saturday, May 19th or, alternatively, the Friday evening before it. Here is a Doodle for all y'all busy-ass folks: https://doodle.com/poll/ag7er35pqkac5b2a <https://doodle.com/poll/ag7er35pqkac5b2a>* An initial agenda draft lives here: https://peoplesopen.net/pad/p/omnimedialab - please add to it as you see fit! and invite people whom you think may be interested... <3 Jenny Help open a professional kitchen at the Omni Commons in Oakland! https://omnicommons.org/kitchen `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.
