Fwd: [omni-consensus] Omni building work party this Sunday

by Marc Juul

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Patrik D'haeseleer <patrikd(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Jul 16, 2021 at 10:13 AM Subject: [omni-consensus] Omni building work party this Sunday To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, building < building(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, discuss <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Hi all, Our likely very nitpicky fire inspection is coming up in two weeks, and we still have a ton of cleanup and fixing to do around the place. So we figured we'd organize a work party this Sunday, July 18. Here's a list of tasks that need doing - feel free to add to it: https://pad.riseup.net/p/omni-fire-inspection-checklist I expect most folks will be there 1-5pm or so. I will actually be at the Omni 10am-noon - feel free to drop by whenever you have time!

Flammable cabinet for Sudo

by Patrik D'haeseleer

I dropped off a flammables cabinet in Sudo this evening, to store whatever solvents and other flammable liquids we have. This was something recommended by David Keenan for the upcoming fire inspection. Unfortunately the cabinet I was able to buy on Craigslist is rather small, and it has a shelf that would prevent us from storing anything taller than 7 inch or so. One option might be to take a dremel or angle grinder to the shelf and just cut it out altogether. Patrik

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-building] Pics of CCL area for electric work

by Brendan Kierans

In picture 3 is a box with knockouts being used for portable power distribution. This is the incorrect type of box for this function. These boxes are for permanent mounting. Additionally, the strain relief is for romex type cable, a gland type cable grip should be used for SEOOW cable. In picture 5, there is inappropriate use of what looks like MC cable.

does someone want to pick up breakers for Omni in Redwood City

by Jake

Last night we cut the wall and mounted the new load center (circuit breaker box) downstairs at Omni, to replace Panel AB. It's a Homeline QO panel and we don't have the breakers for it. I found someone in Redwood City selling 11 of them for $60 if we pick them up today, is there anyone in that area who wants to buy them and pick them up, and bring them to the building in the next few days? If so please contact me directly! Otherwise i'm looking at other options including just buying breakers from Home Depot, but this would save us about $50 so i figured it was worth a try. -jake

Pics of CCL for Electric Work

by Dane

For Sudo Room folks working on electrical work, here are some pics that are hopefully helpful for work in relationship to CCL area of Omni Commons ? I was in CCL to do a social media update for Omni Commons and I was asked to take pics for CCL area electric sources. Not sure if this is helpful or not for double checking CCL area ? CCL Patrik did mention to make sure to have at least one CCL person in the area when needing to check out CCL area electrical structure in reference to overall Omni Commons electrical upgrade. Dane

Ventilation fan installed over sudoroom!

by Jake

Last night an intrepid cabal of hackers hacked their way through a skylight to install a high-flow ventilation fan on the roof! The power cord hangs down into sudoroom so that mice and tiny hackers can rappel down into the space rather than use the door like a noob. Also the power cord can be used to supply power to the fan so that it runs. It uses 500 watts but is quite powerful. I haven't seen our electric bill but assuming we're paying about 25 cents per kilowatt-hour, leaving it on all the time will cost us $3 per day, or $92 dollars per month. I think that rather than leaving the fan on all the time, we should create a sophisticated control system using a microphone and AI machine learning to detect when people are flapping their mouths (meat talking) in the space, and turn on the fan during those times. We can also measure humidity, or have a camera watching for motion, or even look at network traffic and see if people are using data in the nearby area. I can supply the relay connected to a server where this software can make those decisions. here is a picture of the finished product as viewed by birds. If you want to see what it looks like from below, go into sudoroom and plug it in. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/File:Sudo_apt_install_vent_fan_on_roof.jpg -jake

Hack night on Thursday eve?

by Cere Misc

Helo humons? Anyone interested in rekindling hack night? I'm back in town for a while and missing the mix of IRL humons + thinging. I understand that we have a 12 person limit for events at Sudo or CCL but.... seems doable...ish. Cere

sudo make crowdfunding

by Marc Juul

Let's work on a crowdfunding campaign. Reply to this thread if you want to help! or to me and I'll spin up a list for this. Also if you have a project you've worked on in the past two years that would look interesting in a crowdfunding video then let us know and we can potentially help film it! or you can just send us video or photos and a description. Make sure you're in the photo yourself if (assuming you're willing to be on camera) :) -- marc/juul

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] [omni-discuss] Noisebridge wants to financially support Sudo Room & Omni Commons

by Jenny Ryan

Thanks so much Dane! You rock! I'll write back to Noisebridge friendz. Re: Sudo debt: we have even more funds about to be transferred from a Bitcoin cashout made several weeks ago. Also, there was discussion of relieving sudo of some of our debt given that sudoers have voluntarily completed electrical work that Omni would otherwise have paid over $7500 for. Hopefully someone can take up this proposal for sudo. I'm on vacation :) Jenny On 7/7/21 3:20 PM, Sarah Lockhart wrote: > there's a bunch of money in Sudo's bank account at Unify -- between > the Unify account and Sudo's paypal account -- there is a little over > $6000.

Noisebridge wants to financially support Sudo Room & Omni Commons

by Dane

Hey Omni Commmons, I am in Noisebridge hackerspace meeting and Noisebridge is interested in donating money to Sudo Room that would ultimately go to Omni Commons (pay debt etc.) Potentially matching funds if Sudo Room self-organizes (that could be a lot !) https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/discussion-item-noisebridge-donate-to-th… <https://discuss.noisebridge.info/t/discussion-item-noisebridge-donate-to-th…> Noisebridge folks want to see more about what Sudo Room & Omni Commons have been doing, etc. before donating, along with stronger interactions between Sudo Room & Noisebridge and Omni Commons & Noisebridge. Sudo Room needs to have stronger outreach, social media, & organizing events (virtual for now.) Based upon our social media, Sudo Room appears to be no more or on permanent hiatus. I have posted on Omni Commons Twitter & Instagram about new stuff happening at Sudo Room which brought renewed awareness of Sudo Room current status. Sudo Room is around $18,000 in debt so far (?) If Sudo Room updates social media and organizes an online fundraiser, that might strengthen the case for Noisebridge donating money and bringing in new SR members for long-term sustainability. Omni Commons as overall project & physical space has been busy everyday with mutual aid & food justice organizing ( East Bay Food Not Bombs, North Oakland Mutual Aid, Acta Non Verba ) Omni Commons has fairly strong outreach on social media for reaching new donors, volunteers, collective members, etc. (Instagram & Twitter both updated either everyday or every other day in regards to everyday grassroots organizing...not sure what deal with Omni Commons facebook is, not super active and not on point ? (another fundraiser digital source) https://mobile.twitter.com/omnicommons instagram.com/omni.commons/ Overall thing is strong outreach by Omni Commons, Sudo Room, and all 9 member collectives/groups including North Oakland Mutual Aid is one of many *essential* aspects of getting more awareness, more OC members, and monetary fundraising.
