[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

Visiting from Hayward Techies / Sun Gallery Makerspace

by Carl Gorringe

Hi Sudoers, As you may have heard, we're building a Makerspace at the Sun Gallery in Hayward. We are getting ready to purchase supplies for the space, but before we do so, we'd like to ask you if you happen to have any items on our list that you no longer need and would like to donate! In that way we can save some money to invest in things that we can't get donated. It was suggested that we come visit Sudo Room and take a look. So a few of us plan to take a visit there tonight during Hardware Hacking. The idea is to sort some of your excess supplies, and place them in a pile with a note saying that we plan to take these items with us unless you want to keep them, in order to give people at Sudo Room a chance to take any items back that they wish to keep. Then we come back at a later date to pick them up. Sounds good? Here are some items we're interested in: - Electronics & Robotics: Multimeters, heat guns, power supplies, wire cutters, crimpers, wires and cables of various kinds, adapters, electrical parts (resisters, LEDs, diodes, etc.), motors, sensors, servos, Arduinos, microcontrollers, Raspberry Pi, robotics parts, soldering irons & solder, etc. - Mechanical & Power Tools: screwdrivers, hammers, wrenches, sockets, clamps, pliers, rulers, calipers, box cutters, hack saws, wood saws, drills, bits, dremel tools, etc. - Textile Tools: Sewing machines, fabric scissors, needles, pins, quilting tools, fabric, thread etc. - General: Tool cabinets, toolboxes, power strips, power extension cords. - 3D Printers, working laptops (under 10 years old), computer monitors (with HDMI), 50" HDTV, milling/CNC machine, video projector, VR headsets. Please email us at haywardtechies(a)gmail.com with descriptions and any photos of items you'd like to donate. The Sun Gallery Makerspace meets every Saturday at 12 noon at 1015 E Street, Hayward, CA. SAVE THE DATE: Makerspace Grand Opening and Art Meets Tech exhibit on Saturday August 12th 1pm. Thank You, -Carl

omni finances

yes this is great news for Sudo But Omni Commons in general is not doing so well. As you may have noticed if you read the delegates meeting notes, we are due for a tax payment by the end of this month, of $60,400. And we don't really have that much, although we are going to be able to get the check to clear by creative shuffling of various accounts. if we don't pay the PG&e bill, we don't lose the building. if we don't pay the water bill, even if the water gets turned off we don't lose the building. But if we don't pay the tax bill, we can lose the building. so we are prioritizing that. sudoroom pays omni Commons $2,000 each month in rent. we are on time with that, but Omni Commons in general needs more money. The GoFundMe is still active, and is a great way to contribute extra money that's burning a hole in your pocket. https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-the-omni We also need volunteers to join the finance team specifically to help find a new lender for the building, since the mortgage we have right now is balooning in December. We are also always looking for people to find and apply for grants to keep the whole operation going. Shit we struggle to have enough people on the finance team to collect rent from all the tenants/collectives. -jake > ---------- Forwarded message --------- > From: Sarah Lockhart via finance <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> > Date: Tue, May 23, 2023 at 3:34 PM > Subject: [omni-finance] Please Forward to sudo list - re rent > To: <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> > > Just wanted to let y'all know, and especially the fine members of > sudoroom -- that they are now current with their financial obligations > to Omni -- and prepaid through June > > thank you! > Sarah L / bookkeeper > _______________________________________________ > finance mailing list > finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org > https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/finance

Chromebook Unlocking at Sudoroom Sunday 11AM

by Peter Mui

Hi Tom and cc: Sudoers: Thanks for for organizing this. I'm still hoping that FUSD will unlock the Chromebooks so check occasionally as you process them to make sure they're still locked. Also see: USPIRG’s petition to extend the life of Chromebooks: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-QGoW0UzE0t0oUsKzM6Xsxft1kHM-d6b… For more background see “Chromebook Churn”: https://pirg.org/edfund/resources/chromebook-churn-report-highlights-proble… And Fixit Clinic's efforts to keep already AUEed Chrombooks in service as general purpose computing devices: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JSbGXhJFJeABWVOn1wO4M6bPT-gPBLV4oQ85xMy… Maybe we can launch a broader "Keep 'Dem Chromebooks" public good program at Sudoroom and get a bunch of Linux-enhanced Chromebooks in circulation in the community to improve digital literacy, digital equity, and digital inclusion?

SudoRoom is on Shattuck Ave between 51st and Telegraph 4799 Shattuck Ave., Oakland, CA 94609 The entrance is on the corner of Shattuck and 48th https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wtxH4mtxL2HUe3y5JXJlhe7iqSDnikT8/view?usp=… The project this time is converting chromebooks to Linux. Peter Mui of Fixit Clinic was given a stack of EOL chromebooks from the Fremont school district. Unfortunately they neglected to unlock them first. But I have found that the bios can be reflashed so you can boot a Linux installer bypassing the Google check. I had a thought of using a Pi to do the flash as PI gpio can do SPI. But most of the chromebooks have 1.8V bios chips while the PI has 3.3V gpio. I probably have level shifters but I have recently dumped stuff unorganized into storage. So I will likely not find them in time. For now I am using a USB programmer with an 1.8V adapter. Yes I will also try to be online at meet.jit.si/Pi.BerkeleyLUG This will be a conference room mic and speaker in a shared space so maybe some background noise. Thomas P.S.
