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 … [View More]

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 … [View More]

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 … [View More]

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 … [View More]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.
