Dear Omni Financiers,
I just sent you all invoices for monthly expenses and June rent at the
Omni. Please let me know if you did not receive your invoices.
For your reference, here is a breakdown of the shared expenses in May:
*Utilities:*
- PG&E: $587.23
- EBMUD: $478.60
- WM: $140.36
*Taxes & Insurance:*
- Building insurance: $661.00
- Property taxes: $797.28
- Business tax: $181.35
Starting this month, the shared expenses are calculated by subtracting $100
for Optikallusions' contribution and then dividing utilities by 7 member
collectives and 1 tenant. The taxes and insurance are split evenly between
the 7 member collectives.
Let me know if you have questions about any of this. Otherwise, please pay
your invoices as soon as possible.
As always, if you know you will be late paying your rent and/or shared
expenses, please let the Finances Working Group know so we can plan
accordingly.
THANK$$,
Sarah + Finances WG

[spaghettinight] sys-admin job

Hi all -
If anyone wants to pick up a little extra cash, I'm posting this position.
If you have run and installed Linux yourself you are 1/2 way to the
skill-set and we can train you for the rest. It's a flex gig very chill for
the right person.
Linux systems administrator, part time:
InterX inc is looking for a part-time sys-admin. The continuous duties are
fairly light, with periods of occasional burst activity (upgrades, etc.).
You will be responsible for a small (300 cores) HPC cluster, and occasional
EC2 spillover. You will also occasionally interact with vendors. User
complains are fairly light, but are expected to be addressed within 48
hours. As there's on-site activity local candidate is preferred though much
of the work can be done remotely.
Relevant skills:
Fluency with Linux and cluster configurations. Rocks Clusters experience
desired. EC2 and StarCluster experience a plus. Fluency in basic scripting,
system maintenance and backup strategy a must.
This is probably best suited for a graduate student who wants to make some
money on the side.
(This Techno-Activism Third Monday will, confusingly, be on TUESDAY 21ST
this month. Don't forget to update your calendar! And feel free to
forward this on to anyone you think may be interested.)
Join Pirate Party MEP Julia Reda in a discussion about the EU Copyright
Evaluation Report, and the prospects for better global copyright in the
21st Century.
The European Union has begun the process of evaluating its current
copyright law with a view to updating it. As part of that process, Julia
Reda, the Pirate Party member of the European Parliament, prepared an
extensive report recommending a number of reforms, including liberal
licensing of government works, measures to safeguard the public domain,
a harmonisation of copyright term length across the EU, explicit
allowances for linking, parody, quotation and data-mining, and limits to
legal restrictions on bypassing DRM. This month the Parliament voted to
accept the report, with some amendments.
Julia Reda will be at this month's San Francisco TA3M to talk about her
work as the report's author, and next steps in reforming copyright in
Europe, the United States, and the world.
Date: Tuesday, July 21st
Time: 6:00pm
Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco

That really sucks! Has this happened before?
I ended up working w/ the micology group in the kitchen after we cleaned up the casein experiment. I left my backpack and laptop bag in the CCL and thought it better to go up and get it after 20 minutes unattended--just in case..Couldn't afford to lose my laptop. I hope they found the lost items.

Friends,
There have been some issues over the last few days with people disrupting
the space, that it has become necessary to restate the access policy of the
Omni.
During the hours that La Commune is open (Tue-Sun 12-6pm) the bookstore is
open to the public. Outside of those hours, the Omni is NOT open to the
public and the door is to always be shut closed, not latched open. During
those closed hours, the Omni is open to members of collectives, or to their
guests who must be accompanied by members at all times. During events,
such as BAPS classes, the point person for the event is responsible for all
the participants who are not members.
Other volunteers are working on door access tomorrow at noon if anyone
wants to help make the building more conducive to having a safe
environment.
Love,
Julio
if sudoroom wants the omni to continue to exist, we will need to all get
on-board to keep this boat afloat.

Subject: [omni-consensus] !! Financial announcement !!
Hi friends,I'm stuck at work and probably won't make it to the delegate's meeting tonight, but I wanted to make an announcement about the Omni's
finances.
As many of you know, the Omni has been running a monthly deficit of about $8,000 - $9,000 every month. We've been able to make up for that by dipping
into the funds raised in December through the Indiegogo campaign, but those funds are running out quickly.
We currently only have enough $$ in the bank to cover two months of rent and expenses. Member collectives can do your part by paying invoices on time
(and even early if you're able!) for the next few months. If your collective has outstanding invoices for rent and shared expenses, this would be a great
time to appeal to your members for extra support so you can pay any $$ still owed to the Omni.
The finances working group has been updating our Quickbooks and will soon be able to present more detailed and thrilling financial reports so everyone
will have a clearer picture of where the Omni's money is coming from and how it's being spent.
Better data = more lucid decisions.
Let me know if you have any questions about this. The next finances working group will be held on Wednesday, July 22 at 7 pm at the Omni. Come hang out
with us if you want to learn more about Omni $$$.
xxxxooo,
SP

Hi again,
In addition to the outstanding rent invoice for April, please see the attached invoice for shared expenses at the Omni in April. It would be great if you're able to pay at least part of this invoice as soon as possible.
The Omni is in a precarious financial situation currently so I'm asking all member collectives to pay outstanding invoices if they're able.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks again,
Sarah
