Hi, it seems like the omni president title I took continues to be mistaken for a point of power in decision making. Also this is a lot to take on right now for me, and ideally we would be rotating delegates. Could someone else volunteer as the SR delegate next meeting? I can help as best I can and by getting input from other members on how we should vote. I also plan to attend the meeting. The meeting will be on Thursday, in person with a remote option, at 7PM. Thanks, Paige

proposal: regular wednesday meetings/organizing social

by Paige P

I have a proposal to make meetings weekly at Sudo Room (rather than 1x a month). My idea is 2 of these are structured with agendas, votes, and notes (maybe the first and third Wednesdays, so we have time to review proposals that will be voted on in delegates meeting), and other ones would be informal, but at least focused on some cooperative project (i.e. building out/fixing up work stations, working on wiki documentation, laptop program work, or doing some outreach). Hopefully we could pool together some food for these too for community building. Context: Last night there was discussion about ways Omni isn't working right now. One of the complaints that resonated with me is that delegates aren't really acting like delegates right now (in the horizontal organizing/anarchist sense), and do have power. Yea by some it was getting framed that they are power hungry white supremacists who won't step down, but my perspective is that they reluctantly have power because there is not an engaged membership that they can represent - they have to do a lot of the decision making work on their own (not good). At the least, I think that's true of sudo room right now, and I hope this Wednesday idea could help foster community and consensus building efforts. Yes I know some of this happens Tuesday and Mondays night, but for the most part those are focused on personal project hacking (which is well and good, just different). Paige

10Gbe network cards

by tom r lopes

A couple Hardware Hack nights ago I brought a dual 10Gbe card (10Gb over copper) Hp 561FLR-T It has what looks like an offset pcie connector. Jake thought it wasn't real pcie and he was right. Plug it in and nothing. lspci shows nothing. The connector is actually "Flexible-LOM" But someone has reverse engineered it and designed an adapter: https://github.com/TobleMiner/HPE-FlexibleLOM-adapter I got an adapter on Ebay which was probably copied from that github. And it works. Getting 8Gb up and down on Sonic Fiber. These cards are scavenged from old HP servers and you can get them cheap. Like $20 for 2. But I found a regular pcie card: Supermicro AOC-STG-i2T which can be found for about $25 and doesn't need an adapter. Thomas

Fwd: Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Meeting this Sunday 15.10.2023 Now with Pi 5!!

by tom r lopes

So the new Raspberry Pi (5) computer as been announced and will be available to order soon. I applied to the Raspberry Pi Foundation to host a community demo event and was accepted. I have just received 2 Pi 5 8GB kits. So I am hoping to have the event on Saturday the 21st from noon to 3 at Sudoroom. I don't see anything on the calendar that conflicts Also I have been doing a low key "Pi meeting" on third Sundays of the month. This group is an offshoot of the Berkeley Linux Users Group. It's been just me and one or two others and more of "Hardware Hack - day edition" then Raspberry pi. Next one is this Sunday and all are welcome. Check out the new Pi 5 or just stop by. Below see the BerkeleyLUG announcement with details Thomas ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: tom r lopes <tomrlopes(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 2:06 AM Subject: Pi.BerkeleyLUG: Meeting this Sunday 15.10.2023 Now with Pi 5!! To: BerkeleyLUG <berkeleylug(a)googlegroups.com> Yes now we have a couple sets of the new Raspberry Pi 5 courtesy of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. https://photos.app.goo.gl/AYSi99pVMXtsf42y7 Meeting this Sunday the 15th from 11 am to 2pm or so In person at Sudoroom 4799 Shattuck, Oakland, CA 94609 Virtually at meet.jit.si/Pi.BerkeleyLUG My agenda will be working up a demo or presentation of the Pi 5 I want to create a Pi 5 demo event for the next week. I'm thinking Saturday the 21st from noon til 3pm (so as not to conflict with the Berkeley LUG meeting on Oct 22) My thoughts: Run the 5 and the 4 side by side comparing (I have a pi 4 but I don't think 8GB) Demo 2 cameras (the connector uses the small fpc like the one on the Zero) Demo the USB3 -- maybe run a couple external ssds Explore the pcie connector?! How? Connector is .5mm 16 pin FPC. I would have to solder such a cable to a pcie riser. I may have an M.2 extender so that could get an nvme drive on the Pi? Anyways the Saturday event would be put out on the Sudoroom announce and probably Meetup via Peter Mui. Thomas

omni commons in-person meeting with the public tonight at 7PM

by Jake

As you may have heard, CLP was not happy with being ejected from the Omni Commons by the rest of the delegates on 9/28 after it became clear that their goals were in opposition to Omni's mission and continued survival. CLP (primarily Rafiq) have been waging a smear campaign/boycott on instagram and by other public messaging, and so Omni has called a public meeting at 7PM tonight (thursday) at Omni. In person. If you care about Omni, and defending us against this boycott campaign and people who will be showing up to discuss it (and ask questions) you should show up. Instagram post @omni.commons: "We will host an in-person meeting Thursday 7-9pm at Omni, 4799 Shattuck. All neighbors and community members are encouraged to join. We will not hold an online meeting. Please disregard the google meet link. We're sorry for the short notice" https://www.instagram.com/p/CyPp7OMOaMW/ -jake

Re: [sudo-info] 3D printer donation (fwd)

by Jake

We got a really nice 3D printer donation from someone I hope will start coming around and join us! Welcome Scott -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2023 21:39:31 -0700 From: Scott Griffitts Subject: Re: [sudo-info] 3D printer donation Hey, Dropped off the printer with Toby and met a few folks who were excited, skeptical, and questioning the printer. I figured I would share some info on it. Here is the page on the upgraded Z mod I did: https://seckit3dp.design/kit/triple-z Here is the page for the main printer build: https://github.com/SecKit/SK-Go_SK-Mini Here is some info on the firmware it can run: https://www.klipper3d.org/ (I think if you do some digging, you can find examples for the kinematic bed) Here is the bed probe I used: https://coex3d.com/products/bltouch-v3-1-automatic-bed-leveling-probe The stepper motor board used is big tree tech octopus v1.0 with TMC2209 drivers If you have any other questions let me know :) Also, If you guys need volunteers or anything, let me know. I’d love to help out with really cool people like you guys. Regards Scott Griffitts On Sat, 22 Jul 2023, Scott Griffitts wrote: > Hi, > My name is Scott.

Phil forgot his umbrella last night

by Peter Mui

Hi all: RU going to Omni today or sometime soon? Can you check if there's an umbrella at Sudoroom, perhaps near the table on the floor? Phil Chin texted me early this morning: "Peter, I just realized that I left my umbrella at Sudo Room. It should be on the floor where I was sitting..." TIA, -Peter
