Hi all, I was wondering if there's an easier way to change my commons/lists accounts than just unsubscribing, and re-subscribing from the lists? ~ Korl 510.671.0824 500px.com/soenke-v soundcloud.com/twentywings

Re: [sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] Donation box at CCL raided

by Ryan

Coming to the conclusion that sudoers should actively try and keep a better awareness of their surroundings, including CCL. I know I often let CCL just be at the boundary of my awareness and have no idea who's in the space, although it would be easy for me to know.

Sudoroom has many long-standing policies for this. First, any Sudoroom member is empowered to ask a non-member to leave at any time. Second, when a person's presence makes someone else feel unsafe, we ask them to leave and not return until the end of a conflict resolution process (if they want one). The process involves a mediator and steward having private meetings and then reporting back afterwards. Facts and arguments are not hashed out at a public meeting unless the process has failed spectacularly. We've never had to do that. Sudoroom values fairness, but we have always prioritized safety over fairness. WRT Elliot, I haven't been around enough lately to know, but it sounds like we've kicked out many strangers for less and never thought twice. It's so much easier to be lenient with a familiar face, but that's not "fair"...

help sudoroom have a CNC machine!

by Jake

sudoroom needs a CNC milling machine! well guess what, we already have one (no i don't mean the robot) i'm talking about the big heavy CSAM thing that is sitting on the border between sudoroom and CCL. It was made to image ICs in their package with ultrasonic probing, but nobody cares about that and it's a really nice big 3-axis platform anyway, so we might as well throw a rotary cutter on there and have a nice CNC mill/router. what's missing? Turns out it's just software. The software that came with the ancient computer is very specifically written for raster-scanning integrated circuits with the ultrasonic probe (which works). but we need software to take G-code and drive a cutting tool around on pieces of wood, so we can carve words into wood planks or whatever. the motor controller for this machine is controlled by an ISA card inside the computer. It is controlled through "ports" accessed by the CPU. If we are unable to find software to take G-code and drive this ISA card (and i'm sure it's possible to find such software) we could just write our own software, to run in linux or DOS or whatever. The computer is a 386. Please try to find software for operating a CNC machine with this setup: Parker Compumotor PC-23 here is the manual for the hardware we have, which lists lots of software stuff: http://spaz.org/~jake/bxi/pc23_ug-servodriver.pdf I haven't imaged the hard drive on the computer there, so i don't have everything backed up, and i haven't looked to see if there is handy software for driving the machine from G-code, but i doubt it's there. The software that's there can move the machine around, but only for scanning CSAM. If you want to play with it, let me know. We can meet up at sudo. -jake someone has been here before: http://www.programd.com/62_0e8487061f6729ba_1.htm

Replacing the term "bottom-liner" with..?

by niki

Hey all, I want to honor the request from some Omni community members that we replace the word bottom-liner. Can we collect a list of alternatives and mutually agree to attempt to replace this phrase / to lovingly and compassionately correct one another if and when we slip up? As little as it may seem, this will require a cultural shift for a lot of us that I'm sure we're all willing to make, but it'll likely take a bit of time before it collectively takes root. It would be great if those who take particular issue with this phrase could put forth their suggestions. I will collect suggestions and make a poll both online and in the real world. Here are some suggestions of mine: * steward * curator * representative Love, N

Reminder - no loud music or drumming in disco room plz :)

by David Keenan

That room shares a paper-thin wall with our neighbor (the walls of our buildings touch) so until it is better soundproofed there can be no drumming and no loud music - at least, for sustained periods - in that room.. I hope everyone understands this, and please contact Commons group if you have any questions. David
