This artist is visiting town and wanted to know if he could speak at Sudo
Room or give away any art. I told him that we don't have anyone dedicated
to organizing this kind of event, but that I'd ask if anyone wants to.
If you'd like to host him during November, put it on the calendar and go
for it.

Good Morning,
I am a Guatemalan Artist in Canada. I am wondering if your space would want
to be part of a project I've been Working on.
https://jaredarmandosofoifa.com/the-ocean-gives/
This is my largest painting to date. It spans roughly four feet by five
feet. I want to give it away in a raffle to anyone that shares a smile.
This year being in a position of comfort, it pained me greatly to see
everyone around me struggling with the rising costs of everything. Being
from Guatemala I have a deep knowledge of plants and how to cultivate them.
I volunteered my time at a giant garden in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,
operated by the local food bank. I realized that I was focusing on the
wrong things, while it was great to feed people, as a painter I couldn't
stand by and not feed their souls. Given that fine Art is mostly out of
reach from the working class, I decided that I would rather "sell" my
painting for smiles. I want to provide people struggling for survival, to
have some kind of hope.
In our politicized world it is hard to be kind to others and not guarded.
What we need is community and unity. I feel like this project gets at the
core of what future artists will provide the world. If you would like I can
provide files for ready-to-print media including a poster with a QR code
and printable raffle tickets from anyone that does not have a 'smart'
telephone. As well as the poem about the painting.
I will be in the Bay Area during Nov.8th-Nov.23rd promoting my Art and the
seven works of writing I completed during COVID lockdowns in Canada, while
also working on my stand-up comedy and music at any open mics I can get
into.
I would be happy to give a brief Artists talk outlining the project and the
future role of Artists as we fight to stay relevant in a world where AI
threatens all our livelihoods.
Attached are some media provided to me from the Saskatoon food bank while
my painting was in their space.
It's not required, but as a working Artist I would greatly appreciate any
honorarium (if your organization can afford it) to help me with my travel
expenses and shipping cost for the painting.
Let me know your thoughts,
Sincerely,
Jared Armando Sofoifa
ps I'm the one in the pink hat. Also attached some additional paintings of
mine.

Someone comfortable with shell commands and vim and ssh, please speak up!
extra bonus if someone is available to help with cgi scripts for basic html
stuff, in order to make a way for nontechnical people of omni (who have
password access) to approve card access.
we can collaborate on this of course but i need someone to take over the basic
responses to the keycard requests now.

Hey Sudo Room,
I'd like to invite you to join a meetup and mailing list for Bay Area arts
co-ops and makerspaces. We're trying to gather organizers from Bay Area
makerspaces to build connections, share what's working and where we are
struggling, and figure out how we might collaborate across spaces!
Here's the link:
https://groups.google.com/g/bay-area-makerspaces-arts-coops/about
We had a casual chat this month in SF with representatives from Syzygy,
Noisebridge, Maker Farm, the Box Shop, and Double Union in attendance.
We're planning to do another one in early November, this time in the East
Bay!
The current meetup plan is for November 9, 6-8pm at Temescal Brewery, 4115
Telegraph Ave (near MacArthur Bart).

Hi:
Just a friendly reminder of tomorrow’s informal Fixit Clinic at the new
South San Francisco Library grand opening: this looks like it’s going to
be a really fun event so bring your friends and family e.g. see the two
bands playing:
https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati…
WHAT: New South San Francisco Library Grand Opening
WHEN: Saturday Oct 28 anytime between 11:30AM and 3PM
WHERE: 901 Civic Campus Way, South San Francisco
https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati…
We hope to have regular repair programming at this Library soon but
Saturday is more of a festive demonstration day and housewarming for the
Library’s beautiful new Makerspace.
There’s no need to commit to the whole day: just stop by when you can to
enjoy the festivities, hang out with other Fixit Coaches, check out the
new Library and help Makerspace Librarians Devin, Miriam Hart and Monte
Gordon recruit more local Fixit Coaches.
You don’t need to bring any tools – they’ve got some tools and sewing
machines already – but feel free to bring something you want to take
apart or sew as a demonstration. We might end up doing a few repairs if
local people go home and bring things back. (And bonus points for
wearing a Halloween costume (wink.))
The new Library is a pleasant 3/4 mile walk (or bike) along the Colma
Creek Centennial Way Trail from the South San Francisco BART if you want
to take public transit. See other options here:
https://www.ssf.net/departments/parks-recreation/library-parks-and-recreati…
Hope to see you there! -Peter

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.

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!

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

Alan was asking about a live center for the lathe in sudoroom. Today my
friend Rab was visiting from Austin and immediately recognized a lot of things
about our lathe.
I created a wiki page for that lathe:
