Hi Sudoers:
Foreclosure is six days away: if you have any questions about
transitioning out of the building you’re welcome to attend a Zoom
Meeting 6PM Tonight with Shreya from CAST. Please email me back directly
for the Zoom link ASAP, certainly before 6PM.
Sincerely, -Peter
hey friends!
I *just* found out about this, might be fun, might be good networking,
etc. (And networking is always a good way to make people aware of omni and
our needs!)

I'm in NW oakland (near berkeley) and would love to catch a ride with
others, also down to bart together, though i'm at a n berkeley potluck
until ~start time.
warmly,
ajay

When I get here was really nice what if people went in mass to eighth Street and then took the train back to Omnicom in the afternoon maybe on the weekend and modified the fines that they found there

The San Francisco Foundation's Community Impact Fund offers low-interest
loans to nonprofits. One of the loans in their current portfolio was
made to a nonprofit for a building renovation. If Omni Commons hasn't
already looked into it, it might be worth reviewing...

Hi Sudoers:
As always we successfully repaired lots of stuff at Hardware and
SoftWEAR Hack Night last week.
Typically on Tuesdays we have lots of new people visiting the space and
it can be intimidating if you don't know anyone and don't know where to
go and what to do.So can someone try to arrive early, say, 7:30 or so to
greet people for Sudoroom or sewing downstairs in the Media Lab and get
them started on their projects?
Extra Credit: 1) confirm that the VOIP phone number 442-252-8386 is
working by dialing it 2) put the Fixit Clinic sandwich sign out on the
sidewalk.
This week we have no item check-ins at https://bit.ly/itemcheckins but
we typically get lots of walk-ins. And Hilary writes that they are
bringing two Chromebooks to convert to Linux:
Hi Peter,
I have two old (5+ years) chromebooks that have passed their EOL
(2022 and 2021) but are still working ok (the trackpads tend to fail on
these cheap models). However, my senior clients (I volunteer at Ashby
Village) cannot use them to login to their Kaiser account (they get a
message "please update your chrome browser"!). …I remember reading about
a plan to refurbish that bypasses the EOL problem. Do you know anything
about this?
thanks
Hilary
1. Lenovo N22-20 ; Model Name 80SF
2. Samsung 501C ; Model Code XE501C13-K02US
Can someone look out for Hilary and get them started disassembling the
Chromebooks to remove the write protect screws? (The entire process is
outlined here: bit.ly/cbtuning )
Many thanks, -Peter
This is a great introduction to the opera for newcomers, and it's only $10
for a ticket to the SF Opera. Really fun, great stuff, and you get to dress
up too!
