Sudoers,
Omni is short of funds for certain important functions. I've proposed
that since sudoroom has some cash on hand we can provide assistance in
the form of early rent. The amount is on the order of $1300.
Please let me know if you have any objections.
Alex
Not sure what's on the agenda for tonight yet! So it might be boring and/or
we might not start on time, who knows?
-----------
Sudoroom meeting tonight at 7PM, we're having weekly meetings since a lot of
fundamental issues to Omni and Sudoroom are being discussed every week.
We have to talk about these issues so that we can be represented at the
Delegates meetings that happen every thursday. Show up!
Please show up, there will be important discussions which will have an effect
on Sudoroom's survival as well as what Sudoroom stands for going forward.
Most of us meet in person, some join the meeting remotely through our Jitsi
video link at this address:

Hi everyone,
You're getting this email either because 1) you're on the sudoroom discuss
email list, or 2) because I BCC'd you directly.
Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever,
in person, or through telepresence (see the last link in this email)
in the past few weeks, we've had about 5-15 people over the course of the
evening, not including remote participants who logged in through telepresence
Here it is on the sudoroom page:
https://sudoroom.org/events/categories/sudo-room-events/
I am usually there by 8PM but people do show up before me!
if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get
in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't
have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the
video chat link at the end of this email!
We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it anyway!
You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here:
https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/
and you should donate monthly to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here:
https://sudoroom.org/humans
and if you want to make a one-time donation, you can go here:
https://sudoroom.org/donate
if you can't make it in person: join the jitsi videochat with the room, and
chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall:
https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles
Sudoroom/The Omni needs help! Contact me directly to learn more.
We'll be having a Sudoroom meeting tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 7PM.
Show up!
see you soon!

https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2024-01-31
here are the notes from last nights meeting, mostly a transcript of the
discussions we had. If you're in there please make sure your words are
representative enough of what you said, and login to the wiki if you want to
make edits. If you don't have a login you can request one and it will be
approved.
We took a vote on the Peoples Programs proposal and six people blocked it, so
our delegate should represent Sudoroom as a "block" of the proposal at the
delegates meeting.

Hello,
I have three devices that might be either eWaste or hackable. If anyone is
interested in any of them, I can leave them in Sudoroom on Tuesday morning.
1) iPad 9.5" (diagonal) iOS 9.3.5 Model MC960LL/A
(cannot install zoom, which is what I bought it for)
2) Lenovo laptop N22 Model 80S6 4GB RAM 60GB HD Win-10 Home
(too slow, maybe it can run some slim version of linux?)
3) Dell All-in-one desktop Inspiron One 2330, service tag 60YSWS1 8GB RAM.
(The owner asked me to donate it, but there is a serious problem with the
display -- it takes 20-30 min to "warm up", that is, the display shows only
colored lines for that time, with gradual clearing to show the desktop. It
is not really "warm up" because if it goes to sleep, it takes another 20-30
min to clear the "fuzz". The only way to use it is to set Sleep to "never")
The Dell is very heavy, so I won't bring it in unless someone is seriously
interested.
thanks
Hilary

Hello everyone,
Updates, Pallavi our development & grant coordinator has Instrumentl fully
activated for the next month at least! She is applying for grants for all
the collectives but needs your help!
It is critical at least 1 member of each collective join this working group
to share needed institutional knowledge of its collective. While Pallavi is
an incredible grant writer, she needs historical information to help
formulate narratives. Please share your availability to meet 1 hour a week
ideally weekly to work on grant writing and fundraising for Omni Commons
and its collectives. Also the more volunteers working on grants the greater
chance for larger rewards! We need as much help as possible so please share
with those who may be interested.
https://www.when2meet.com/?23459337-cXwWk
Also Pallavi is facilitating a two series grant writing workshop.
Part 1 On February 17th 12pm to 3pm with a focus for artists
Part 2 On March 2nd 12pm to 3pm with a focus for non-profits & collectives

Subject: [sudo-discuss] Re: Retaining our executive director
I think we can safely let Jamal go. I really don't see what he is really able
to do for us, and he seemed mainly interested in banning or sidelining people
he saw as obstacles, using spurious arguments as justification. More clarity in
leadership would be a good thing, but eliminating our delegate seems like a
step backward. I do think we need to institute some kind of governing body,
like a board, that can make decisions without long, tedious, and
counterproductive general meetings. It needs to focus on saving the space, or
if that's not possible, saving the equity built up for the benefit of the
existing stakeholders.

Had a great, interactive session at SudoRoom last night. Tuesday was great,
creation and working on small fun projects and interacting with each other
is why i come ot the Omni.
- Reviving my light projection mapping project
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping
- Focusing on completing projects while I'm at SudoRoom as well as
interacting with others
- Collaborated with folks on music, thinking of using the open source
Godot Game Engine to build a music and animation control software piece so
that we can project onto the walls of SudoRoom while we hack!
I am putting a pause on social media stuff or at least cutting back on it.
For the past few months I've just come Tuesdays and have been doing social
media to help promote SUdoROom. While that's fun, and that could be a
hardware project in and of itself, I really like coming to the Omni to
create.
I am part of the Omni solely for SudoRoom! and creation. Not so much all
the other stuff, like meetings.
Glad to see SudoRoom still has the stoke.
