Subject: [Becoming Omni Commons] Documentation and follow up of Becoming
Omni
To: "discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, "
becoming(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <becoming(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Friends,
Here is a link to the documentation of all three Becoming Omni workshops:
http://we.tl/Xs2XrXT1LC. Please download it now and share it with your
collectives and everyone you know who is associated with the Omni. The link
will be available for about a week.
There's a lot to digest. I've included the mostly unedited notes, tables of
the decisions reached through some of the processes, and photos. The BO
follow-up team would like to set up times to discuss the outcomes in your
collective and working group meetings so your questions can be answered.
Please have someone from your collective or wg pm me to set up a time when
we can do this.
Email threads will not be a very productive way to discuss this so please
let's do it in person.
Onward with love -
Laura

Yo, Sudo.
This Berry Maker person is wanting to have a thing this saturday. Its actually
the person who gave the name Merry from back on the meeting on the 21st. She
has been banned from Noisebridge for safe space reasons.
I also note that on that meeting she's trying to apply for membership. Without
further comment, I provide:

Just for the record, the best place to ask these questions is the
Omni's finance working group mailing list, which I've CC'd here.

I wanted to bring out the Type A to print magnets for Omni's
Collabazaar, but can't find any of the 1.75mm plastic we used to have.
Where did it all go? Did it get used or taken? Is it stored in a
special place or do I have to run to home depot or something?
it's 1:30AM and giant rats are fighting under the big wooden shelf covered
with rotting fruits and vegetables.
this is a seperate problem from the fact that at least one of the
containers is smelling really bad, and at least one is breeding fruit
flies.

help! Thanks...

Hey all,
Shawn Landden showed up today @ Noisebridge. Shawn was banned by
consensus in 2013 and has a criminal history crossing 3 states, having
been arrested for for assault, harassment, felony stalking, violating
restraining orders, and stalking.
Shawn knows full well that he is 100% NOT WELCOME at Noisebridge, and
showed up today with a scraggly beard apparently hoping he'd go unnoticed.
His photos along with all other information are on the Noisebridge 86
page https://noisebridge.net/86
Given his history of assault if Shawn shows up at either Noisebridge or
Sudoroom he should be asked to leave *IMMEDIATELY*. There's possibly
still outstanding warrants for his arrest, we're looking through public
records tonight.
Take care,
p

I'm selling lots of cool stuff; LEDs, 'burnery' things, CHEAP! All
proceeds will go to the Omni.
**************************************************************************************
We'll be hosting our first of a potentially bi-monthly pop-up bazaar
featuring local artists, artisans and craftmakers. Stop by anytime in the
afternoon and peruse a phantasmagorical cornucopia of objects and
imbibements to titillate the tongue, warm the belly, inspire the mind and
adorn the body!
The mission of these Collabazaars is to create a sustainable model for
fundraising for the Omni's monthly expenses while simultaneously providing
local makers in our community with income and visibility to support their
continued creative / artistic / crafty / culinary endeavors.
As the sun sets, the Omni will metamorphize into a haunted house befitting
of its creepy cavernous and labrynthian corners!
Collaborators:
* Francisco Jimenez, Tucan Vinegars: Selling delicious homemade Costa
Rican-style vinegars. Free tasting
s available!
* Abby Normal Art by Antoinette Gaggero
* Liberation Food Coop: Fair trade, fresh-roasted coffee and a variety of
teas to sample.
* Youth Liberation Zines by STINNEY DISTRO
* Live painting by Nikki Lee Drumm
* Musical mosaics: Hand-crafted instruments that can be played and used as
unique art pieces.
* Kangs' Necklaces: Wire Wrapped Gems & Stones
* BerrytheMaker selling her household overstock of accumulated treasures,
cheap!
* Sudo Room's 3D printers will be printing out original magnet designs
throughout the day \o/
This event will be updated as vendors are confirmed. If you're interested
in running a booth (with a percentage of sales going to the Omni Commons)
at this or future Collabazaars, please contact collabazaar(a)omnicommons.org
Hi folks,
I've asked this question before in private with not a lot of good
responses, but I'll put it out to a wider audience. One of the things that
is nice about being a university is full online journal access.
For myself, in the past I've had friends inside a uni run an underground
proxy server for me so I can access said licensed content ("Right to Read
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/right-to-read.en.html>" anyone?). UC
Berkeley offers the general public library access for $100 a year, which is
great but cost prohibitive for starving hackers
My question is: is there someway we can get hackerspaces and members forge
a path to having access to non-open access journals? Maybe through some
sort of library grant, or charity access, or something? My library
knowledge here falls short. But there are multiple great reasons for us to
do this:
* accelerate research and innovation at a grassroots/citizen
level. One of the biggest wins I see here is with citizen driven disease
research (austin just opened a medical hackerspace
<http://district.life/2015/10/02/launching-the-first-medical-makerspace-in-t…>).
Can you imagine what the cyborg group could do with a broader network?
* open access journals are great, but the coverage falls short
* for a lot of folks who have never had access to a university,
it's simply a matter of fair educational access
* it can encourage projects to re-invent journal access itself
Would love to hear ideas or possible points of contact!
Love,
Praveen
