Hi Niki! I meant to respond when you sent a message like this awhile ago,
regarding someone who refused to properly close the door after opening it.
Before I talk about the technical situation, which I believe applies to
this problem, I want to try to answer your specific question.
The procedure for granting door access, when I do it, is by demonstrating
how the unlocking and re-locking procedure works, and making sure people
understand that they must re-lock the door after opening it.
But of course sometimes people will forget, or worse, actively shirk their
duty to re-lock the door. In the latter case, if a person refuses your
request to re-lock the door they unlocked, I will electronically revoke
their access until they explain themselves at the appropriate meeting.
This would also be appropriate for people who repeatedly forget to re-lock
the door after themselves.
We have been working on the door technology a lot this last week,
improving reliability. But we have been holding back on adding features
because I understand that we are very close to replacing the front door.
The new front door will not "unlock" and "re-lock" but will be the usual
type of door which you "buzz" open, and when it closes it locks again.
One of the features we can add in the meantime is a record of incidents
when people use their card to unlock the door, and it does not get
re-locked within 5 minutes. If the people are not members of La Commune,
we will know to contact them for re-education.
It's my understanding that we have received a permit to replace the front
door, and that someone bottomlining that project has taken measurements.
I do not know how long it will take or who is doing it, but this is why I
have not changed the front door system to activate the doorknob instead of
unlocking the pins. If it activated the doorknob instead, it would
automatically lock when the door closed again. But it's a lot of work to
do considering the door will be replaced very soon.
Once again, if any person with electronic access is being irresponsible
with unlocking the door, I am willing to de-activate their card until they
come to the appropriate meeting to resolve the problem.
And I will be more pro-active in reminding people to lock the door they
open, and I will look into the access logging feature.
thank you,
-jake

Hey friends,
Can someone point me to where the procedure for granting new Sudo member
access to the space is (if there is one?)
The front door was left open by a Sudo member (no personal hard feelings!)
and I just want to make sure that it's being communicated to members that
the door should be closed and locked if no one is watching the front.
I am working on an orientation pamphlet for folks who are new to the space
(it's taking longer than anticipated!) so hopefully by the time we re-key,
we'll have something more tangible to provide people.

Subject: [omni-commons] Missing tables?- Phat Beets Produce
To: commons <commons(a)lists.omnicommons.org>
Hello Everyone,
We had two tables near the "trash" room and they went missing today. They
had a label with duct tape that said phat beets on them. They were
partially blocking the entrance to the "trash room" because of their
length, so we apologize for blocking an entrances for anyone. If you could
let us know where they are we would be grateful.

I asked Egon to leave tonight due to continually aggressive behavior
towards me and boundary pushing.
I will drop in at the sudo meeting tomorrow (it's during a CCL class so I
can't be there the whole time) to discuss setting up a conflict steward and
mediator.

I'm specifically trying to get into orchestral composition. Currently I can
read basic music notation and can play at least piano+guitar at a
basic/intermediate level.
I'd like to level up my theoretical understanding and at the same time get
some experience composing.
This looks ok, but a bit basic:

Any recommendations for online resources / books / university lectures I
can sneak into?

Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone here has or knows of a projector that I can
borrow for one week starting next week?
I am going to Mexico for a conference, and we are in need of an extra
projector. Mine has broken. I promise to be very, very extra careful
with it.
Happy to talk more about any details. The conference is bringing really
amazing technology community organizers from across Mexico to meet with
students and academics at the Caribbean Philosophical Association's
annual conference.

Thanks so much,
April

Update: tonight's Sudoroom meeting has formally banned Egon for safe
space reasons. Although Omni's policies require a conflict resolution
process on paper, I strongly feel this is an opportunity to carve out
exceptions to that rule.
There were a lot of notes taken. Here they are:

Our Kickstarter campaign closes in minutes - 10:34 PST, to be precise.

We've already reached our $30K target, but we are still collecting
donations towards our stretch goal: a -80 freezer to store cultures,
plasmids, strains, etc.. A -80 freezer makes sure that the project you're
working on today will still be around for people to build on next year, or
five years from now. Our plan is for this to become a resource for the
whole community, so we will be happy to store archival collections from
BioCurious and other DIYbio labs. We'll be one of the community's
distributed backup nodes, as it were.
Support your friendly local biohackers and mad scientists!
28 minutes to go and counting...

Joe, it sounds like he flat out lied to you. He makes a member feel
unsafe and is not welcome until that issue is resolved. That's the
only story anyone needs to know at this point. Our policies are very
clear about that.
Anyone knows what happened to the big projection screen that was hanging
form the blue biosafety cabinet in CCL?
It disappeared a couple days ago. We're making do with a small standing
screen for now, but we'd like to get our big one back...
Thanks!
Patrik
