[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

4/19/23 Meeting (Jonathan)

by Jonathan Cadle

We didn't exactly have much of a meeting tonight, but progress was still made. - We talked about what to do with the recent influx of Chromebooks that came in. Most of them currently cannot be used because the Fremont School District hasn't de-authorized them yet, so they're hard locked to those Google Accounts, and can't even be properly wiped. This may resolve itself soon, as we were told they would be deauthorized soon. - Discussions about what OS we want to favor for the laptops we're giving away were also had. There's a tradeoff to be had between favoring stability/simplicity (e.g. Debian) or more frequently updated distros (e.g. Arch) which offer a wider variety of packages. - I brought in some linux install CDs/DVDs, along with a a CD of rEFInd, as I noticed we didn't have any install media that just "belonged" to sudoroom, for anybody to use. I left them on the cart under the TV; please don't take them home, so that the next person who needs them can use them too. - I also brought in a keyboard. Ideally I'd like for us to have a couple of "shop" keyboards that are kept relatively clean and accessible, so that we can use them whenever. Not sure of the best way to do this right now. - I proposed an idea to draw new people to sudoroom by offering a "learn linux" program. I'm thinking we can take some of the older laptops/mac minis/whatevers, and show interested people how to build linux systems from a minimal install (i.e. week 1: basic terminal stuff; week 2: adding a display manager/xorg/window manager; etc.) The idea seemed well received, but I wanted to see who all would be interested in participating, and if anyone had ideas about how we could let people know about this. I was going to propose doing it on a couple of wednesdays a month, or Friday if those are open. - It looks like two of the newer mac minis were found - these have HDMI ports, so they're easy enough to hook up to any monitor. Some folks wanted to keep OSX on them. --Jonathan
