[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/… [View More]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 [View Less]

Laptop De-Branding?

by Jonathan Cadle

So, I had an idea that I wanted to run past everyone: What if we invited people (both within Sudoroom, and perhaps some of the creative/art groups at the Omni) to redecorate our giveaway laptops? My reasons for suggesting this are as follows: - It's fun - It's an opportunity to introduce other Omni people to Sudoroom - People who might not be comfortable coming to sudoroom for technical stuff might be interested in a creative project, and find us friendlier than they'd expected - A lot of the … [View More]

[omni-consensus] Hellman Capacity Grant Funds - Budget Completed (fwd)

by Jake

dear sudoroom, I didn't attend the delegates meeting last night so sudoroom didn't get represented. Someone else should step up to be sudoroom's delegate so we don't get marked as "inactive". -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 09:31:41 -0700 From: Sarah Lockhart <sarah.ee.el(a)gmail.com> To: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, fundraising <fundraising(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] Hellman Capacity Grant … [View More]

SudoRoom hardware hack night theme for 8/29 - Audio hardware hacking!

by Romy Ilano

https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2023-08-29/ Just for fun I added a theme for the August 29 hardware hacking night. I realized that people feel pressure to aleady have a completed hardware project when coming to the space - I decided it'd be cool to have starting off points for exploring specific areas. So I will bring worksheets like "how to design your own hardware hack!" and we can even do stuff like explore the history of the DJ and audio equipment you have! =============… [View More]
