updated 3D tour of sudo?

by Jenny Ryan

Sudo and CCL both look _amazing_ now - props to everyone who's put so much time and dedication into cleaning / organizing / generally making our hackerspaces more welcoming, accessible, and awesome! 5 years ago, a lovely human named Eriks Strals made this beautiful 3D model of Sudo Room and CCL: https://my.matterport.com/webgl_player/?m=9JVcHS4y7aY While this model is extraordinarily well-done, it no longer does justice to the current incarnations! It would be rad to update this virtual tour, which we link to on Omni's booking site and I think Sudo's. Does anyone have the experience / tools to do so? I'd like to learn! Have also reached out to Eriks to see if they're interested in updating us.

an attack that happened years ago?

by Yardena Cohen

On Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 10:28 PM Steve Martinot <martinot4(a)gmail.com> wrote: > It is important to understand the details. Derick was working with FNB. He had been around all day, coming in and out of the building. Yet he was unseen by Ed and others, until midafternoon. Well, you know, black people tend to be invisible to a white racialized consciousness. Somehow, in the middle of the afternoon, somewhere in the Entrance Hall (not at the door), he came to Ed’s attention, and Ed accosted him. When Derick resists this disrespect, they face off. And that is where I stepped in. It was a clear case of profiling, but even more, of the tunnel vision of white racialized identity. As racial profiling, it was an attack on Ed’s part. This becomes central to the way I now look critically at the Omni, and especially at the sequence of such events that have occurred with respect to Almaz. Wait wait wait wait ... what happened between Steve, Derick and Ed? The words attack, accost, face off - I can't tell if you are describing a physical confrontation or something else. Are you choosing vague words on purpose? Either way this deserves way more detail and I would like to hear perspectives from anybody who was there. Folks, can we take this seriously? It's buried in a bunch of other nonsense but it's important. I think this deserves its own thread and a new subject line. The original subject was "[omni-consensus] Proposal to Immediately Terminate Bay Area Public School Fiscal Sponsorship Contract and Member Collective Status"

Visiting from The Shire

by Jonathan Bryant

Hey Sudoers! I represent a small tech group from The Shire Community Space in Modesto, CA. We're looking at making a field-trip on 04/27/19 to check out some makerspaces in the bay area to get some inspiration. Last month, I talked with Jenny Ryan a bit about the visit and, so far, I've got 6-8 people interested in coming. Is it cool if we visit that day? Looking forward to hearing from you, Jonathan Bryant

Problems on the Shattuck steps

by Laura Turiano

Hi everyone, I have received messages from a neighbor saying that she is increasingly concerned about the situation on the ballroom steps. It seems to have deteriorated lately. She says there are often "lots of people" out there and loud music is being played at various times of the day and night. The people are drinking openly and intoxicated. Lee and Danny's health problems have been getting worse so folks are frequently calling ambulances to take them to the hospital when they have seizures. She also believes someone (she did not accuse Lee or Danny) is dealing there at night. I asked if she could describe the person who is dealing and she couldn't. She has noticed cops patrolling more frequently and thinks that other neighbors may be calling them or complaining that they they feel unsafe. I think we need to have another discussion about how to handle this. There may be new people coming around. In the meantime, if you see people playing music loud enough for neighbors to hear, please ask whoever is playing it to turn it down. If you feel comfortable asking people not to drink alcohol, please also do so. What I say is something to the effect of, "we don't mind people hanging out on the steps, but if there is drinking, loud music or yelling, trash, or illegal behavior, neighbors are going to complain, call the cops, and that threatens Omni's existence. If we go away, whoever owns the building next is almost definitely NOT going to let folks sit here. So if it continues, then we won't be able to let people sit here." If anyone has any information about any dealing that might be happening, please contact me directly. I will keep your identity confidential. I have been encouraging Danny and Lee to get into a recovery program. Their friend Andrew is also trying to convince them and is willing to drive them to the program we have discussed. Laura

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Proposal: Hire or Replace Me as Omni's Bookkeeper

by Jenny Ryan

Re: Timing - A quick glance at the edit history of the Google Doc I linked to in my proposal <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pZwwjGPjsCryp78dySTHFbrmiTZR-Q5FqQf82S5…> can demonstrate that I've been writing it since last October, knowing I would need to start generating my household's income this year and acutely aware of how much time Omni's bookkeeping work has taken in the past. It should be noted I'm essentially doing the bookkeeping for not one, but 6 collectives (Omni writ large, Sudo, LibLens, partial DIY [they have a secondary fiscal sponsor as well], The Village [a significant amount of work], and BAPS [tho they contributed $0 in 2019 and have no expenses]) and tax season is now upon us. I am unable to attend the Delegate's Meeting this Thursday as I'll be out of town, but happy to answer any questions or concerns remotely.
