The vending machine now provides some more feedback after money is put in. Source code associated with my contribution is here. I haven't documented the other components of the vending machine. https://thomaslevine.com/scm/sudo-vending Based on the implementation details, it appears to me that the bill acceptor is in fact plugged into one board (Arduino Leonardo) that is connected by serial to another board (Raspberry Pi). Why is the former board used at all? That is, why is the bill acceptor not plugged directly into the latter board?

GABRIEL WARE <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-t/> Dwight Roston is drilling on the roof of a home in Detroit’s Islandview neighborhood on the city’s east side. Roston is part of a team that is setting up a wireless internet connection. The home is just one of 150 designated households in the city to receive free internet service by the end of the year. In 2016, a coalition of media, tech, and community organizations launched the Equitable Internet Initiative, a project that will result in the construction of wireless broadband internet networks across three underserved Detroit neighborhoods. Leading the initiative is the Detroit Community Technology Project, a digital justice project sponsored by Allied Media Projects <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-i/>. Each network will provide wireless internet service to 50 households per neighborhood, according to Diana Nucera, executive director of DCTP. “During the economic and housing crisis, communities had to fend for themselves,” Nucera says. “Media and technology play such a vital role in economic opportunities, but the tech industry doesn’t really think about community organizing.” That’s why, she explains, “we developed this approach called community technology.” *Read the full story* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-d/> *ALSO* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-h/> *4 Tips for Using Social Media in Your Activism <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-k/>* ALAINA LEARY <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-u/> *Give the Gift of YES!* <https://yesmagazine.cmail19.com/t/d-l-ckykiid-vdlykhryd-o/>YES! gift subscriptions bring hope and inspiration all year long!

Fwd: Save the Omni Commons

by Dane

Forwarding just in case for Sudo Room and/or Sudo Mesh members not on Omni email lists ? Dane ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Omni Commons <info(a)omnicommons.org> Date: Tue, Dec 1, 2020 at 9:14 AM Subject: Save the Omni Commons To: <Wanderingsearch1(a)gmail.com> Help support the Commons in these difficult times Save the Omni Dear Friends and supporters of the Omni Commons. All of us at the Omni Commons wish you, our friends and supporters, a safe and healthy holiday season. This has been a difficult and challenging year for so many people because of the pandemic and resulting economic crisis. It has been and continues to be difficult and challenging for those of us at the Omni Commons. That’s why we’re asking you to make a generous donation to our GoFundMe or Facebook Campaigns to save the Omni Commons, which continues to face a financial challenge. Donations to our Facebook campaign on #GivingTuesday, Dec. 1, are matched, GoFundMe Campaign <https://omnicommons.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b3df74e35ed3cfc94d1f…> Facebook Campaign <https://omnicommons.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7b3df74e35ed3cfc94d1f…> Four years ago, the collectives that make up the Omni Commons obtained a loan to purchase the building at 4799 Shattuck Avenue in North Oakland. Since then, we have offered event space to the wider community and workspace to collectives on a sliding-scale basis. The Shelter-in-Place order issued in mid-March in response to the pandemic, as well as subsequent restrictions, have prohibited the gatherings that rent our event space and provide half of the income to make our monthly loan payments and keep the Omni Commons open. We have been able to keep the building open for the essential services that some of our collectives provide to the community. Additionally, we collaborated in forming the North Oakland Mutual Aid Drive together with other community organizations. The Omni has become a local distribution site for the curbside and low-income communities, disproportionately people of color, in North Oakland. We’re using our ballroom and entrance hall to gather canned food, water, masks, hand sanitizer and other items, and then distribute these items to those who need them. While the Omni Commons continues to keep the building open for our collectives to offer essential services, we now face a big challenge. In the midst of pandemic restrictions limiting our income, we must refinance the original five-year loan on the building by May 1, 2021. We’re working hard to save enough money to show lenders that we are able to make loan payments until restrictions are lifted and it’s safe to open up event rentals again. So, we’re asking you, our friends and supporters, to make a generous contribution to our GoFundMe campaign to Save the Omni Commons. If you can make a contribution to help us through this crisis, we will thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
