Hi everyone,
you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email
list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for
those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of
any means you can invoke.
Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that
EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING.
(if you want to eat something you should go outside)
in case you didn't know, there is definitely a covid surge happening right now
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the
telescreen (linked last in this email)
Jenny put it on the Omni calendar:
https://omnicommons.org/blog/events/hardware-hack-night-3-2022-03-01/
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/
that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm.
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway
because of diminishing returns :)
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it, join the jitsi videochat with the room, and chat with
each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
(don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually,
and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and
talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room)
see you soon!

Hey, as I mentioned last week I won't be able to make it today, but if any
wnb from this list want to stop by it’s totally fine! Night will still keep
being WNB only. If you don’t have a key, knock on the door, It seems
there's always people at Omni C on Monday evenings, so getting in should
not be an issue.--

I'd just like to leave this up here, some copies of the old forrest mims notebooks. I didn't do a lot of soldering and circuit building when Radio Shack was still a thing, but people here at SudoRoom told me that these were in circulation.

I'm thinking of making a version of engineering notebooks similar to forrest mims. they could be tailored so that they're down to earth and appeal to people who BIPOC / cool independent women who don't necessarily want to care for children or become mothers / and more!
here's the sudoroom pick and place machine

Hey all, I'm trying to organize a massive "stuff removal" from omni
next weekend (Saturday June 4). So far there are two large piles of
"removal candidates" in the northwest basement and northwest entrance
hall:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg
If you'd like any of these things to STAY, you should MOVE it from
these piles in the next week!
If you'd like any other things to GO, you should ADD it to these piles!
If you'd like to HELP remove things next Saturday, either by carrying
things outside day-of, finding new homes for things in advance, or
arranging trucks to take them various places, then that would be
AMAZING!

Subject: Stuff that's going away - maybe in a week?
To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
We now have two large "junk piles" - northwest entrance hall and
northwest basement. I believe almost everything that is "in question"
about whether it stays at omni is now in these two piles.
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Entrance-hall-junk.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-1.jpghttps://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Basement-junk-2.jpg
Could I pretty please ask that anybody who still wants stuff in these
two piles, please claim and move them in the next week?
We have a work party scheduled for next Saturday June 4. I would like
for this to be a junk removal party. How do we all feel about this?
Would folks be able to arrange trucks to pick up whatever's still
there in a week?
I feel a sense of urgency because Village of Love is about to pay us a
bunch of money to move in and occupy both of these areas.
Hi Pauldogg,
I saw your application for membership to sudoroom - we are in the process of
improving the instructions on that page so people realize that the first steps
to joining sudoroom are things like joining the sudoroom-discuss email list,
and coming to the space!
I sent you an invite to the email list and you should join and say hi there,
and meet other people and hear about the events we have. You can come to the
space on Tuesday night for Hardware Hacking Tuesdays for example, or a meeting
on Wednesday (usually?) and JavaScript Thursdays. Or just write an email to
the list asking when anyone else (a member) might be in the space and willing
to host you so you can see the space and start meeting people.
thank you!

Hi everyone,
The weekly meeting is scheduled for tonight at 8 PM. You can join in person
or at

I don't know what's on the agenda, but stop by. There's always stuff to
discuss (plus show and tell!)

I hope this email finds you well. I am a Community Organizer with Community
Democracy in Action (CDA). CDA is a sub-committee of the Community
Democracy Project <https://communitydemocracyproject.org/>, an all
volunteer run organization that wrote the People's Budget Initiative
<https://communitydemocracyproject.org/faqs/>.
We are reaching out to our like-minded community members to invite you to
the *People's Budget Initiative Info Session and Fundraiser *happening
on *Friday,
May 27th from 4-10pm at Omni Commons* (4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland).
The People's Budget Initiative, *if passed*, will restructure the budget
process in the City of Oakland so that all residents will have a direct
vote on where their tax dollars go.
Year after year, we have seen how our fellow community members fight to get
a budget that reflects our needs. Despite our best efforts, the current
budgeting process lends too much power to the Mayor and outside lobbies;
leaving a mere 6% of the General Funds to go to essential departments like
Violence Prevention, Parks, Recreation, and Youth, Economic and Workforce
Development, Libraries, Housing and Community Development, Race and Equity,
and Public Works.
*Please join us on May 27th to learn more about the People's Budget
Initiative and how it can create foundational change in our beautiful
Oakland. *
*Below you will find a flyer and eventbrite link for our event, please
share it widely with your networks.*

"A budget is more than just a series of numbers on a page; it is an
embodiment of our values."
- Barack Obama
We are at the beginning stages of this campaign and are excited to partner
with community members and organizations that share our vision. We want to
build a movement that uplifts our communities through mutual sharing and
respect.
*If you are interested in getting more involved, partnering, or endorsing
the People's Budget Initiative, please do not hesitate to email me. *
Thank you so much for your time,
Silver <3

Last night was fun! 4 ppl showed up, including some from this list!
I won't be able to make it this coming Monday since I'll be coming back
from a trip, if any wnb from this list want to be in charge I'm totally
fine! It seems there's always people at Omni C on Monday evenings, so
getting in should not be an issue.
I created a Slack Workspace for the WNB Coding Night:
https://join.slack.com/t/sudoroomwnbco-x885869/shared_invite/zt-19inm31eb-g…
Feel free to join if you're a woman/nb!
BTW I wasn't able to use my card to get in, it seems there's a new lock
with a number combination? Or it was already there and I didn't notice. The
card light got green but nothing. Someone indoors opened the door for me.
When I first got the card I was able to open the door.
