omni.

by David Keenan

Hello everyone, If you are interested about what's up with Omni, I suggest you come to the hackathon tomorrow, as Matt said: http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Event:2014/05/03_Omni_Hackathon INFOS WILL BE LIBERATED PROMPTLY AT 11AM ON THE DOT. "Doors" open at 10am with breakfast and coffee. Contact Matt Senate if you wanna help setup. Highly suggest Bring coffee (coffee grounds are best, one of the big containers), donuts, bagels, etc. We got our work cut out for us.. Suggest those with inquiring minds attend. Please? Because we need you. Now. So much love! David

Any news about the Omni?

Just "curioso".

lulzbot TAZ 3d printer is dead

by Jake

so i spent all evening (and some of last night) to finally spool up the gigantic pile of black filament for the TAZ 3D printer. i finally got it hung from the wall with a dust cover over it and ready to feed smoothly into the printer, and then i discovered that the heating element in its extruder head is dead. oh well. so, we need a new resistor to go in there. I don't know what the original spec is, but since the whole thing runs on 24VDC and assuming 24 watts of heat, that would be a 24 ohm resistor or so. Is someone other than me interested in contacting Lulzbot and asking whether they want to send us a new resistor, or if they can tell us what part number of resistor we should get as a replacement? -jake P.S. yes i tested the resistor and it's dead, infinite ohms, it's burned out. When we get a replacement we can glue it in there better than they apparently did. If the glue goes bad it dies.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Important Sudo meeting tonight

by Yar

On Wed, Apr 30, 2014 at 3:15 PM, Marina Kukso <marina.kukso(a)gmail.com> wrote: > would someone be willing to catch the list up on what the current situation > is with the omni and what needs to be discussed and/or decided tonight? Sorry for the late reply! There has been a growing consensus that Omni things should move faster than originally planned. At this meeting, we ratified and affirmed the consensus that has been called for repeatedly over the past few weeks: * We affirmed our commitment to the Omni project * In particular, we committed to paying our first/last/deposit to the Omni project * Finally, we decided that should happen sooner than May 15 (the date suggested last week) We did this all with a keen mindfulness towards the process. It was a difficult discussion, but we took into account the text of our articles, all previous conversations in the community, and our human understanding of the situation. We concluded that not only was last night's meeting empowered to make this decision, but it was pressing. The votes were unanimous, with quorums of 12-15 voting members (some people left partway through). Please note this doesn't commit us to particular details or arrangements, only our confidence that those will be worked out. There is still a lot more to decide, particularly with Counter Culture Labs at our unconference/hackathon/thingamabob this weekend, which everyone interested should attend. :)

Hammond Theater Organ?

by Steve Berl

Now that sudoroom is moving to a bigger space, would there be any interest in https://groups.freecycle.org/group/oaklandfreecycle/posts/39254461/Hammond%… If not, perhaps one of the other new residents of the Omni? Thought about it for myself, but don't think I can fit it down the stairs of my house to the music room. It's at Alameda High School, and they'd like to get it out of there soon, but there doesn't appear to be any real deadline. It's a Hammond Concorde, but not sure of the specific model number. Probably needs a bit of restoration (replace some capacitors and fix some broken keys) to make it deluxe, but it could be a really cool addition. If you are interested, please contact serenadietrich(a)comcast.net and jrandell(a)alameda.k12.ca.us. The email address in the freecycle ad is wrong. -- -steve
