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?

can't reach door computer

by Yardena Cohen

Did something happen to the omni door computer? I can't reach it over the network, even from within the building. It appears to be working, letting people in. I tried looking at the box, but couldn't make sense of the mess of cables. Maybe an ethernet got disconnected somewhere? The rest of the network is fine. Other devices on that subnet and that interface are reachable, but: $ ip neigh | grep 100.64.64.11 100.64.64.11 dev enp3s2 FAILED

Fwd: [omni-consensus] Revised Free Store Proposal

by Yardena Cohen

Forwarding this omni proposal with great enthusiasm! FYI I'm still acting as sudoroom delegate at omni meetings, but abstaining from all decisions since we haven't met in ages. Anybody wanna organize a sudo meeting? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Vicky Cassis <vickycassis(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Mar 26, 2021 at 2:38 PM Subject: [omni-consensus] Revised Free Store Proposal To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hey all! I have rewritten the Free Store proposal to reflect the new idea to have Omni Commons' Commons Working Group itself host the Free Store, as an Omni-led project that acts in intentional partnership with other collectives to facilitate mutual aid. I'm really excited about this because I believe it could provide a clear channel to the public of where and how to direct volunteer energy toward the Omni. I think it could be a great step toward enhancing participation within the working groups. Let me know what you think! There's always room to revise. Best, Vicky _______________________________________________ consensus mailing list consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus

Omni Newsletter Call for submissions

by Roberto Martinez

Hello Omni folks, How are ya’ll doing? We hope everyone is doing ok. It’s been a while since we’ve put out an Omni newsletter, almost a year has gone by since our last one! A lot has happened between then and now, so it would be nice to catch up. We’re thinking of putting out the next newsletter by the end of March, so we want to invite Omni collectives and Omni folks to share updates, thoughts, art, feelings, ideas with us, so we can include them in the Omni Commoner. There is a lot to talk about. We are still in the grips of a deadly pandemic which has undeniably exacerbated the ills of capitalism and its deadly effects on our community. But Omni folks and Omni Collectives have organized and actively continued to support the community during this crisis. We are stewarding a town fridge, the North Oakland Mutual Aid Project is going strong, Acta Non Verba has adopted Phat Beets’ CSA, and the rest of Omni collectives continue to do empowering work out in the community. The working groups are meeting, some regularly and other sometime, the finance/fundraising working group though has been at the forefront doing the important work of keeping the Omni alive, critical work, which we are all grateful for! There is much more going on for sure, this is not even mentioning the different individual projects Omni folks are working on! It has been a rough year, but with the spirit of collectivity, the Omni continues to be a hub for community collective action during this pandemic. It is this we would like to share in this newsletter =]. So if you want to share anything with the Omni community please do! Art, thoughts, visions, desires, anything! We are asking from each collective to submit 1-4 paragraphs providing an update of the work ya’ll have been doing. Below are some suggestions of questions or topics you can touch on: - Updates from your collective. New visions and goals. - How your collective has been responding to the covid-19 pandemic. - What kind of world do ya’ll imagine post covid-19? - Anything you want to share….poetry, paintings, photographs, recipes, anything. - Upcoming Events Please send your content to the communications working group email at comms(a)lists.omnicommons.org, by March 21st. Like all the other working groups at the Omni, the communications working group needs more participation. If you are interested in joining please sign up to the communication working group email list at https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/comms. Thank you. With love and solidarity, The Communications Working Group

Disabled Musician looking to hire someone to build a simple custom midi controller

by Jathan gurr

Hi, My name is Jathan Gurr and I'm a disabled musician who doesn’t have enough fine motor control of my hands to play traditional musical instruments. I’m looking to hire someone to build for me a custom microphone with a few midi controls built onto it, that’s going to be part of an assistive electronic instrument I'm making to allow me to play instrumental music despite my disabilities. All the parts of this microphone are easily assembled with the midi controls I’m envisioning, but I don’t have the technical skills to put them all together. While I am not rich, I’m very much willing to pay for this project, and I’m wondering if you know anyone who has experience putting together custom electronics and possibly being able to do some 3-D printing. If so please have them contact me at jathangurr(a)yahoo.con Many Thanks, Jathan
