Jenny just did some needed awesome admin-fu to 1) "fix" SR's IRC and 2) to edit the non-happening Thu night events on the SudoRoom calendar. Anyone know what's up with JavaScript Night that's still on the OMNI's calendar https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/javascript-night-2019-04-11 ???? -A

IMPORTANT: Annual fire inspection 4/25/19

by Laura Turiano

Everyone! Omni Commons' Annual Fire Inspection for this year is scheduled for Thursday, April 25^th at 3pm. The Assistant Fire Chief will be training a new inspector - this gives even more reason to make sure we are up to Fire Code Standards before they arrive. Please take some time between now and then to clean and prepare before then. We should also schedule a work party on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday that week to get everything cleared and ready. To prepare: * All rooms must be unlocked or unlockable. Do we have a key to the CCL closets on the master keyring? * Ballroom must be cleared of tables and chairs, mezzanine of stray books * Extension cords disconnected and pathways clear * All hallways cleared of stuff and at least 3' clearance in front of any electrical panels * Any piles of stuff should be removed and cluttered areas organized, especially if flammable * All storage areas cleaned up a bit and flammable materials put away (mesh in sudo; phat beets, Village, CCL in basement) * Any easily flammable furniture that has appeared in the basement (couches in particular) needs to be removed. Couches are something the fire department told us to move out of the basement during our very first inspection * It would be great to finally finish the door into the bocce court I will be able to be at the building that day to go on the walkthrough but anyone else can join. Thank you! Laura

pick and place machine works

by Jake

Ian rewrote pos2charmhigh in python and got it working to convert .POS files from KiCAD to .csv format for the Sudoroom pick-and-place machine! this means we can use the machine to put parts onto circuitboards designed in KiCAD (which is free software) here's a video of it placing 12 capacitors onto two identical boards! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTxdMl-Mct4 and here's the link to the software. Thanks Ian! https://github.com/sudoroom/pos2pickandplace

updated 3D tour of sudo?

by Jenny Ryan

Sudo and CCL both look _amazing_ now - props to everyone who's put so much time and dedication into cleaning / organizing / generally making our hackerspaces more welcoming, accessible, and awesome! 5 years ago, a lovely human named Eriks Strals made this beautiful 3D model of Sudo Room and CCL: https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/?m=9JVcHS4y7aY While this model is extraordinarily well-done, it no longer does justice to the current incarnations! It would be rad to update this virtual tour, which we link to on Omni's booking site and I think Sudo's. Does anyone have the experience / tools to do so? I'd like to learn! Have also reached out to Eriks to see if they're interested in updating us.

an attack that happened years ago?

by Yardena Cohen

On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 10:28 PM Steve Martinot <martinot4(a)gmail.com> wrote: > It is important to understand the details. Derick was working with FNB. He had been around all day, coming in and out of the building. Yet he was unseen by Ed and others, until midafternoon. Well, you know, black people tend to be invisible to a white racialized consciousness. Somehow, in the middle of the afternoon, somewhere in the Entrance Hall (not at the door), he came to Ed’s attention, and Ed accosted him. When Derick resists this disrespect, they face off. And that is where I stepped in. It was a clear case of profiling, but even more, of the tunnel vision of white racialized identity. As racial profiling, it was an attack on Ed’s part. This becomes central to the way I now look critically at the Omni, and especially at the sequence of such events that have occurred with respect to Almaz. Wait wait wait wait ... what happened between Steve, Derick and Ed? The words attack, accost, face off - I can't tell if you are describing a physical confrontation or something else. Are you choosing vague words on purpose? Either way this deserves way more detail and I would like to hear perspectives from anybody who was there. Folks, can we take this seriously? It's buried in a bunch of other nonsense but it's important. I think this deserves its own thread and a new subject line. The original subject was "[omni-consensus] Proposal to Immediately Terminate Bay Area Public School Fiscal Sponsorship Contract and Member Collective Status"

Visiting from The Shire

by Jonathan Bryant

Hey Sudoers! I represent a small tech group from The Shire Community Space in Modesto, CA. We're looking at making a field-trip on 04/27/19 to check out some makerspaces in the bay area to get some inspiration. Last month, I talked with Jenny Ryan a bit about the visit and, so far, I've got 6-8 people interested in coming. Is it cool if we visit that day? Looking forward to hearing from you, Jonathan Bryant
