[omni-consensus] PROPOSAL: BIPOC and Oppressed Gender Safe Space Committee (BOGSS)

by Jake

Dear Sudoroom, Today I voted in behalf of Sudoroom in favor of the MOP proposal, and they are now a member collective of Omni Commons. I emailed about them on April 20th but didn't hear anything back, so I hope everyone is okay with that decision. Today a proposal was introduced for a new committee to be formed at Omni Commons to value and protect the safety and interests of BIPOC/Non-Men. this is the original proposal in PDF form: https://omnicommons.org/pipermail/consensus/attachments/20220505/ab900701/a… this is an editable "cryptpad" and we are requested to "please leave comments in red" https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/edit/6IhZqwyXxN6CrEvtiljmnqTa/ actually this is a cryptpad copy of their document just for sudoroom, and I will forward our discussion to Rafiq to integrate our input. Other collectives are asking questions too, so if you want to be more engaged in the discussion, please join the [omni-consensus] list! But definitely make discussion here in the sudoroom list and get engaged. If Sudoroom members have concerns or objections, we need to communicate them promptly and work toward agreeable amedments. It is not an option to simply reject the proposal, but rather if you have specific concerns then we need to work with each other to address those concerns and come up with something agreeable. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Hey all, I'm boosting this email with a new subject line so that it's clear to readers - this contains an important new proposal!!! Brief summary: this proposal forms a congress of BIPOC and non-men from all Omni's groups, who then elect a small committee which has its own seat on the board, its own delegate, and a few specific powers related to addressing racism and sexism. This is an important step towards making omni representative and accountable! This finally begins to put our Statement of Solidarity into action! ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: rafiq.ali <rafiq.ali(a)protonmail.com> Date: Thu, May 5, 2022 at 12:16 PM To: <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> I added a little note at the beginning on our proposal and the events from 2 weeks ago. Happy to provide a short statement. In general, I appreciate the apologies made and think this can be a growing opportunity to forge a stronger collective. If it's possible, we can open discussion on the proposal this week if enough delegates have had a chance to review with the idea of approving at the next delegate meeting (or worst case, the one after). As mentioned earlier, we are proposing the creation of a safe space Committee (see attached). We appreciate and accept all feedback/comments/concerns. In struggle, Rafiq CLP

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?

Embroidery machine

by ninevra

Hi! I was at sudoroom a few months ago and saw that there was an embroidery machine (babylock ellageo esg2 i think) in the downstairs sewing lab. It was kind of disassembled at the time. Does anyone happen to know if it's working or needs parts/repairs? -- -ninevra Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Right to repair just passed in New York state!

by Andrew R Gross

The New York governor just signed a rate repair bill. It’s the first one, I think, and apparently the industry groups came down on her, super hard after the legislature passed it overwhelmingly. I honestly didn’t expect she had that chutzpah! https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/weakened-right-to-repair-bill-is-si… Now let’s do one here! -- *Andrew R Gross, (he/him)* 412.657.5332 - shrad.org <http://www.shrad.org>

Miscellaneous Electronics Available Tomorrow 10:30AM

by Peter Mui

Hi Sudoers: See below: Jack Soares heads the Oakland Tool Lending Library Volunteers and gets calls for estate clean-outs regularly: contact him directly for more details if you're interested. -Peter -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Of Possible Interest: Miscellaneous Electronics Date: Wed, 28 Dec 2022 23:51:21 +0000 (UTC) From: Jack Soares <jacksoares(a)sbcglobal.net> To: petermui(a)gmail.com <petermui(a)gmail.com> Peter-- A real estate agent who contacts me when she have a house with tools to empty has a place in the Elwood District that has to be cleaned out by January 4. Celena and I visited today. The owners had a load of electronic gear and cables that might be of interest to your crew. If not, it's headed to e-waste. I'll be there tomorrow at about 10:30, if you or any of the FixIt folk want to join us. On a Related Front: Years ago I picked up some electronics that had been used to install solar hot water systems. Nice-looking old-style meters that I'd intended to install in our grandkids' treehouse to give it a second life as a space ship or submarine. They weren't interested and the stuff has been gathering dust in my shop. Does that sort of thing hold any interest for you? On a Related Front #2: Picked up many bolts of cloth from an upholstery shop cleaning its warehouse. Four or five of them didn't pass my wife's inspection. Would your sewing shop be interested? And so on like that... --Jack.
