Vending machine feedback

by Thomas Levine

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?

Someone check / report on roof leak status?

by David Keenan

Hi, Can someone with capacity briefly walk the building and briefly report back on roof leak status - appx quantity, location, severity, etc of any leaks? (Especially in CCL / Sudo?) Given the current and projected continuing rain over the holidays, I’m worried there may be leaks that may otherwise go unnoticed. Best, David

Re: [omni-building] Omni front door keycard access issue

by David Keenan

Bain came by and re-secured the corner door. From what I understand: - *the small leaf of the corner door (passive leaf) is now temporarily fixed in place*. *Do not attempt to operate* this leaf (or remove the bolt fixing it in place) for the time being. This leaf needs a sign on the inside attesting to being temporarily out of service. I’m not in town, so if anyone has time to affix such a sign, I’d appreciate it. - the wider leaf remains operable, it’s hinges were modified & it’s closer was adjusted. More work needs to be done with this door, but likely this will not occur until after the new year. - keycard / keyed access should function properly / not be impacted by the fix. - the corner door once more securely closes / locks. - permanent fix restoring operability of small leaf et al coming in the new year.

Re: [omni-building] Omni front door keycard access issue

by David Keenan

Hi ian and sarah, Sarah thank you so much for passing this message on. Ian, thank you so much for alerting us, and to Sierk and Chicago for assessing this failure. I’m not in town and no I hadn’t noticed this condition, which sounds quite concerning. I’ve just spoken with Bain, our locksmith - *he should be there by about noon today to at least temporarily triage the situation while we assess a more lasting fix. * I’m not in town, but from the sound of it (and going from past experience elsewhere), the work may or may not possibly involve temporarily disabling the action of one of the double doors such as the inactive leaf, or possibly, temporarily putting in a slide bolt in the floor for one leaf if that is needed. I’m not at all sure what temporary measures may be required, but to anyone who may be using omni, I would ask that we all *please allow the locksmith to pursue a temp fix as he best sees fit*. I have asked Bain to ensure that whatever the fix is, that the card reader if at all possible remain functional as a manifest consideration. Should folks have questions or suggestions, if at all possible, folks should first try to reach to me or Sarah prior to directly engaging with Bain, mainly so he can focus on getting a fix committed as he’s doing this on very short notice and with limited time over the holidays - I’ll apprise everyone of what was fixed as soon as I hear back from Bain probably in the afternoon sometime.

(no subject)

by david broccoli

Hi, my name is David and I have been working with Lilu on repairing the Laser at Sudo Room. I am a member at noisebridge and wanted to make clear that while it is true that Lilu had a misunderstanding/disagreement with two other members at noisebridge, this took place on an online chat when she was both extremely low on sleep (i.e. perhaps not thinking totally logically) and in mourning. It was also resolved in-person through a follow-up conversation and successful mediation. There has never been a "safe space" ask to leave for Lilu at noisebridge - there was simply a disagreement/misunderstanding in an online chat that has since been resolved. Lilu has brought to my attention that she has been pursued and touched inappropriately on two separate occasions by a male worker at the omni commons who asked her "not to worry because he is divorced". After she reported this Saturday she has become the target of harassment by a male friend of the worker, who earlier in the same day (and together with the worker) had tried to discount Lilu's accusation and to characterize the interaction as "normal touch". I think that it would be a mistake to use hearsay about a resolved disagreement at another organization as reason to discount an allegation about harassment/inappropriate touch and frankly what looks like an attempt to bully her into not speaking out about it. Thanks

I asked Lovi to Leave ...is Lovi a Sudo Room member ? (Lovi was harassing Chicago, previously harassed Habiba, and had to leave Noisebridge for similar reasons previously)

by Dane

Lovi was harassing Chicago (ANV, long time Omni Commoner) this afternoon about something and Chicago asked that Lovi leave him alone. Lovi mentioned wanting to call police on Chicago. Lovi had previously harassed Habiba saying that she (Habiba of East Bay Food Not Bombs) should not be in Omni Commons (Lovi did not know who Habiba and kept harassing her asking for her ID) Lovi had to leave Noisebridge previously when accusing a random person of being a CIA agent and some other xenophobic conspiratorial ramblings (emphasizing that the random person was foreign and not from here.) I asked Lovi to leave and she ran up to the roof as she knows Mike the roofer. Is Lovi a Sudo Room member ? Dane
