Hi Collective Members - Draft of Clean Up Day Proposal for Sat Feb 20th

by Sang S. Kim

Hi all - this is Sang from the Mess Comedy Group. I was asked to send out an announcement regarding the Cleaning Day proposed for this Saturday Feb 20th at the last Delegates Meeting. Wanted to send out the e-mail today to the General Announce list unless there's any new info that requires us to change / postpone. See the draft below and attached. Welcome any thoughts and input thank you. If you don't want to be on emails like in the future please reply back. Apologies in advance. Best Sang ----------------------------------------------------------------- Here's a draft of what I was planning to send. Also as print out attachment. Let me know if you want me to delete anything that seems too much info... *MESSAGE BEGINS BELOW. PLEASE ADD / CHANGE. ALSO ATTACHED AS PDF.* *Hello Everyone at Omni Commons! Please help with our Cleaning Day on Feb 20th!* I hope everyone has been enjoying the early spring weather. In that spirit, we are planning a *cleaning day on Sat Feb 20th* during the day and hope you can help out the building and everyone by supporting the Commons with your time. As some of you know, the Omni has been seeing some unwanted visitors in the kitchen downstairs and upstairs. Not only is this unsafe and unhealthy but it is preventing the Omni from being able to share the space for events and activities from other members of the community. As part of our plan to help with the rodent situation, we would appreciate available members to come on *Sat Feb 20th* at *11AM*. Cleaning the Kitchens is a first and easy step. That means cleaning out the fridge, sweeping and wiping down the area. Any food out in the open has to be either sealed in airtight containers or thrown out. Specific ways you can help. 1. *Volunteer your time* for a few hours on Sat Feb 20th 2. Bring *cleaning supplies* if you have any to spare - garbage bags, cleaning supplies, gloves and even air filter masks if you’re sensitive to dust or cleaning supplies. Remember to wear clothes and shoes you are okay cleaning in. 3. Help *Keep the Omni Clean* Every Day - if you use the kitchen, please be respectful and clean up after you prepare food. This doesn't mean just washing dishes and throwing away food but also, cleaning any surface or appliance you use. Also, please throw away food you may have left in the fridge. We hope to see you this Saturday and thank you being considerate to your fellow collective members. This is only the first step towards dealing with the pest situation so *please talk to your Collective's Delegates on how you can help* with future projects to protect the Omni. Thank you! Your Omni Delegates

what ever happened to the Oakland Domain Awareness Center?

by Romy Ilano

What ever happened to the Oakland Domain Awareness Center? This is the last news I found about it - it looks like "good" news since we have a citizen privacy group, but does that mean that the tracking is there now? https://www.revealnews.org/blog/oakland-approves-nations-second-permanent-p… https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2015/02/oakland-considers-privacy-policy-its-… ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Next week's late afternoon/early evening workshops - inspiration from Carl Sagan

by Romy Ilano

Setting the tone for our late afternoon workshops next week at SudoRoom ... they will be running roughly from Monday -> Thursday from around 3pm-5pm. “I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness... The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance” - Carl Sagan, the Demon Haunted World ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

This Thursday is Lecture 2 of Counter Culture Lab's Biohacker Academy. This week we are going over how DNA, RNA, proteins are synthesized in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The terminology we will be teaching is essential for talking about experimental biology. The concepts covered are important for troubleshooting protocols later down the road. Per the class request, we will be using our in house Open Insulin Project to illustrate these topics. The following week we will have the lab course that goes with this topic where we will walk you through DNA extraction and monoculture techniques. RSVP :) http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/228535535/ Lab Sunday Feb. 28 10 - 1 ish will be posted.

last night's omni party

by Romy Ilano

I had a great time at last night's Omni Party! It was great stopping by the Omni, Counter Culture labs, and SudoRoom. Thank you for inviting me. I took a break after spending a lot of time at SudoRoom last summer, which was a good idea. I worked on this quickie project page last summer: http://sudoroom.github.io/sudoRoom-Projects-Landing-page/ Are there any updates to any of the projects? Would anyone be interested in putting up a javascript hack night project page? I think coming back to SudoRoom I'll take things slowly -- got wrapped up in it, and was distracted by my own interests and projects. I'm very much into highly technical topics, mobile payments, and other stuff that's more entrepreneurial! It was really nice getting back into the groove and being around really passionate, technical people... Education isn't my focus, although it's a possibility with the right team! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Fwd: Invitation to participate in The Omni Fair

by yar

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Maggie Wong <maggie.g.wong(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Feb 11, 2016 at 9:49 PM Subject: [sudo-info] Invitation to participate in The Omni Fair To: info(a)sudoroom.org Hello Sudo Room, I want to invite you to participate in The Omni Fair on Friday, April 29th. Omni’s Birdhouse Art Collective has the awesome opportunity to host this event as part of the 8th annual Open Engagement conference. Open Engagement is an international conference and platform to support socially engaged art. The conference highlights the work of transdisciplinary artists, activists, students, scholars, community members, and organizations. For this occasion, Birdhouse is hosting an all-day event which we hope will include an array of interactive booths from the different collectives to showcase Omni’s interdisciplinary, creative, and practical endeavors. This event provides a wonderful opportunity for the Omni member collectives to creatively present their work to not just the Omni community, but the national and international arts and activist community attending the Open Engagement conference. What we want from your collective is what you want to share! We are looking to create booths for the collectives to show and share their projects. Each booth should invite audience participation, however you want to create that interaction. These booths are places for mini workshops, skill shares, or any other ways you want to engage with the community. Your booth does not have to be overtly “artistic,” because creativity is in everything at Omni. And we want to celebrate that beauty! Please email me if you have any questions or want to participate! A Birdhouse member would also be happy to stop by one of your organizing meetings to discuss the project in more detail. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you. Cheers! Maggie Wong and Birdhouse Art Collective
