Hey Everyone,
Just a reminder that we have a volunteer safety inspector coming at 10am to
suggest ways that we can improve safety. Everyone who is interested in
learning is welcome to join. Feel free as well to e-mail me questions that
we should ask. Ironically, I believe we have a real safety inspection at
1pm. I suspect the 10am version will be more pleasant.

Would it be possible to set up a very simple site for the DIY Space Safety
group on Omni's server?
It would basically consist of two intake forms propagating spreadsheets
that only a few people would need access to.
Is anyone interested in helping with this? We're hoping to be able to put
something in place tonight as communications have been really disorganized.
Does anyone have an issue with this?

BTW, as apache2 and php are specifically mentioned here, it might be
good to know that it's also possible to run (and learn)
Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP on the Android devices they own (e.g., standard
smartphones and tablets.)
Quoting Dmitri Popov at
www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Features/Convert-an-Android-Device-to-Linux
:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installing a regular Linux distribution on an Android device opens a
whole new world of possibilities. You can turn your Android device into
a full-blown Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP server and run web-based
applications on it, install and use your favorite Linux tools, and even
run a graphical desktop environment. In short, having a Linux distro on
an Android device can come in handy in many situations.

http://www.fastmail.com - Does exactly what it says on the tin
my friend Christopher is trying to learn linux and coding of various kinds, but
he doesn't have a computer that he can install software onto, so i'm
recommending that he get a VPS somewhere, install linux on it, and play with
web stuff and use it as his computer until he can get his own hardware back.
is linode a good choice? i'm not sure if he has funds to pay subscription fees
or whether he would need to find a free one, or maybe he can get started with a
digitalocean free giftcard if someone has one.
anyway, pipe up if you have recommendations for him.

FWIiW, the ~17th entry on Noisebridge's '86' page
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/86 mentions "Pidgeon (aka Violet)", but
doesn't [currently] mention anyone named "Gina".
I'm guessing that "Pidgeon" and "Pidgin" are one and the same person.

http://www.fastmail.com - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own
in October 2014 at a meeting, a provisional ban was initiated on J by Liz and
Korl provisionally while further investigation was done. There were some
caveats listed at the meeting:
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2014-October/008160.html
i found more information at the next meeting here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-12-17#Conflict_Resolution_Foll…
for those who don't remember, Pigeon aka Gina? was banned later but i don't
know where the links to that process are.
anyway, J is asking for my advice in continuing the process which was
interrupted in December of 2014, so now that i've posted the above links to get
everyone back to speed, I leave it to J to continue the introduction and
presentation.
the complication is that J remembers that this mediation process (and
provisional ban) were moved to the "omni board" and I haven't been able to find
any links to that discussion, maybe i don't know which meeting notes to search,
or how. Maybe someone remembers something about this.
J was asked to write a statement denouncing rape culture, after which J would
be unbanned, but J only recently completed this writing assignment and needs
help to know where it should be submitted.
J is included in this email from me, and will reply-all including to this list.

One of the major constraints here is "he doesn't have a computer that he
can install software onto", so that quickly rules out using using an
installation of VirtualBox on his host computer (along with a linux
guest distribution) as well as booting-up his host computer with a linux
liveUSB/liveCD distribution.
While it is not directly "learning Linux" by itself, the 'SDF Public
Access UNIX System' https://sdf.org/ offers the useful ability to setup
a free UNIX shell account on SDF using SSH (Secure Shell) or TELNET.
IIRC, all Windows and Mac OS's have some equivalent of SSH and TELNET
already available(?), so no additional installation of software is
really required here. The SDF Public Access UNIX System uses NetBSD 7.x
instead of linux.
Another virtual means of "learning linux and coding of various kinds" is
Zed A Shaw's 'Learn Code the Hard Way' series
https://learncodethehardway.org/ .
The 'Learn UNIX the Hard Way' site https://learncodethehardway.org/unix/
writes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Learn Unix The Hard Way is a full course in manual system administration
of Linux, BSD, and OSX machines through continually setting up and
breaking them. That's right, you'll learn how to configure and destroy
Linux. If you're a DevOps professional or programmer who feels weak in
your Unix skills then this book is perfect for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have to break here, 'cause Jake just walked in for HHN.

AFAICT, neither the updated calendar at https://sudoroom.org/calendar/
nor the Events page list anything yet for this month other than the
Wednesday Parties.
Was speculating that the SudoRoom HHN events were UNintentionally
omitted from the wiki -or- intentionally omitted b/c of (1) the
aforementioned temporary construction, (2) the December Holiday Season,
(3) something to do with the SudoMesh Group not meeting this month
perhaps due to Jenny R's post from a few wks back requesting ppl and
assistance at Standing Rock, see
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/2016-November/012617.html ,
(4) some part of the process and/or events feedback of SudoRoom
transitioning to Omni Commons, see Jenny R's post
https://sudoroom.org/pipermail/board/2016-November/000337.html , or (5)
some other unknown reason.
It turns out -- perhaps related to (4)?? -- that there is a noticeable
difference between SudoRoom's own Calendar and the Omni Commons Global
Calendar, https://omnicommons.org/calendar/ . For instance, as I wrote
previously, the SudoRoom Calendar currently only lists the Wednesday
Parties, whereas the the ONLY SudoRoom event that the Omni Commons
Global Calendar prominently & currently shows is HHN (recurrent HHN
events listing at
https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/categories/sudo-room/ .)
Any further thoughts on this?
FWIW and related to (4), the 'Occupy the Omni Commons How to Request an
Event' page at https://omnicommons.org/occupy/ describes how to get
other SudoRoom-specific events listed on the Omni Commons Global
calendar (such as the ongoing Wednesday Parties and the Thursday JS
Study Group sessions if the latter are still happening) as follows:
~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~~~
Event requests are now due by the second Tuesday of the month for the
following month. To request an event next month, submit your request by
the second Tuesday of this month. We will review all requests received
at our second Tuesday meeting and get back to you early the next week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As all can see from either of the two calendar pages mentioned in this
post, the second Tuesday of this month falls on December 13th.
I wrote previously...

Hi all,
As announced at the previous delegates meeting, next week we are planning
to run plumbing lines from CCL from the Phat Beets room (and unclog the
plumbing in the PB room).
The planned schedule of work is Monday 12/5 through Friday 12/9, provided
nothing unexpected comes up.
This will necessitate digging a trench through the concrete from the PB
room, across the hallway, into CCL's BSL2 lab.
The trench will also produce large chunks of concrete in the hallway that
may not be removed for a couple of days, *as well as dust and loud noise* in
the hallway during the first workday while the trench is being made.
*** This in turn means the 48th st hallway will for all intents and
purposes be unusable during the week of construction ** *
In addition, during this period, *we are asking that the 48th st curbside
parking (adjacent to the 48th st doors) be dedicated to contractors
involved in the construction*, as heavy chunks of concrete, pipes etc must
ferried back and forth. Therefore we ask that any omnier parking there be
onsite and OK with moving their car (or the job may get more expensive.)
Approximately half of Phat Beets' room will have to be cleared out and the
rest of the room tarped out. As I mentioned in a separate email, some of
PB's property will be temporarily stowed in the basement while this work
progresses, while their computers and so on will be temporarily relocated
to the Omni office for them to work in, which will have a new lock on the
door for that week.
The day currently planned to move Phat Beets' gear is this Sunday 12/4,
precise time TBD. *Please, anyone who is available to assist in this move,
this will be an all-hands sort of thing and would be much appreciated*
(contact me for more info.)
As with the recent improvements undertaken and funded by CCL, these
improvements will add substantially to the usability of the CCL/Sudo area
and have been long-planned. In my opinion, Omni should be stoked that CCL
is contributing so substantially toward improving the building, albiet at
the cost of a weeks' inconvenience.
Best,
David
hi Eric,
we have the controller powered up and plugged into internet, but it does not
seem to be updating the page here:
http://api.kijanigrows.com:3000/dashboard/db/sudoroom
or here
http://api.kijanigrows.com/app/#/device_sensors/sudoroom/
it definitely is plugged into ethernet and has a link and it is powered on.
can we check on it somehow? how does it work?
it's on the sudoroom hacking table right now, plugged in. i'm not sure if the
sensors are connected right or not.
thank you!

someone LOCKED their bicycle to a sewing machine in sudoroom, and it's been
here for a while and whoever locked it hasn't labeled it.
here's a picture:
http://i.imgur.com/qZe4YrY.jpg
so unless someone speaks up in the next few days, i'm going to cut the lock off
and put the bike in the front room, it doesn't belong in sudoroom, especially
not locked to a sewing machine table.
also, the yellow bike formerly known as "substack's bike" is leaning against
the vending machines and I don't see anyone riding it, it's apparently been
abandoned here as well. If nobody wants to claim these bikes i think they
should be taken to an appropriate community bike shop where they can benefit
the people rather than clogging up our hackerspace. i'd much rather the space
be clogged with cool stuff to hack on than unclaimed bicycles.
thoughts?
thanks.

Hi all,
I've been working remotely with Lisha Sterling with Geeks Without
Bounds, Digital
Smoke Signals <https://www.facebook.com/DigitalSmokeSignals> and other orgs
comprising the Tech Warrior Camp on the ground at Standing Rock. They
completed their WiFi bridge to a nearby tribal-owned telecom on Saturday
and so the camp now has internet, but they could use support building out
an intranet mesh for ready access to Lakota educational materials, medical
and legal info, camp-to-camp communications, and media storage. Nodes will
be powered via a decentralized array of small solar / wind / bike power
modules. The intention is to build out permanent and sustainable
infrastructure at Standing Rock, to last well beyond the pipeline protest.
If you can make it out there to help, or contribute to their fund to
procure necessary equipmen <https://www.gofundme.com/waterissacred>t,
please do! If you're in the Bay and can donate equipment, in particular
OpenWRT-comptatible routers, bring them to Sudo Room ASAP and I will ensure
they make it into one of the trucks heading out there this week.
Read Lisha's post on internet @ Standing Rock: http://gwob.org/internet-at-
standing-rock/
You can find more info on preparing for and being at Standing Rock,
including Lisha's signal #, here:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Standing_Rock_Resources
Email me privately for more details on the network buildout phasing,
current technical & environmental challenges, and line-of-site mapping.
