Dan Kalb (District 1 representative including omni and sudo room) hosted a
community meeting with the developers Nautilus Group tonight, and below are
the notes I took.
In particular, I was given a verabl agreement with Randy Miller (president
of Nautilus Group -- rmiller(a)nautilusgrp.com) that if we were impacted by
pests, such as rests, due to their demolition of the plot at 48th and
Shattuck Ave, they would be willing to compensate us for that. I told him
we would email a proper accounting of those costs. Please let me know if
you can help with that.
* Dan Kalb makes introduction, includes planners assigned to this project
** Mike & Darron
* Developers -- Nautilus Group
** Brian Caruso, John ? , Randy Miller, Charlie Testrum, Joseph Lee
* Dan is going to let Nautilus give an update, ask question, give comments,
etc
** Get to your point, make it clearly and articulately, as quickly as you
can. We'll take notes of course
** If you have questions, staff and nautilus Group
* Planning Commission Hearing 6pm on June 1st (Weds) @ City Hall
* Nautilus
** President -- Randy Miller, working on this project for 2.5 years
(actually)
*** I see a lot of familiar faces, some of you I don't believe we've spoken
to you before
*** The site itself has a much longer history
*** Former site of 1989-shut down Pussycat Porn Theater.
*** Global Video Store closed 7-8 years ago (or so)
*** Various development proposals for this site have been heard for ~10
years.
*** Acquired site in late 2013, implemented fairly large survey and survey
groups
*** Held a design competition to ask local architects to submit their
concepts
**** Then we developed our own design.
*** Been working with the city, and now it's scheduled to be heard before
planning commission.
*** It's not too late to make adjustments.
*** I will stay late to talk with anyone 1-on-1 if there's not time to
cover something.
*** We've razed the bank (video store project), and have a demonstration
project of urban farm.
*** Two levels of subterranean parking. Clarke st is proposed entrance.
*** 144 spaces of first level retail parking.
*** 2nd level is secured gate residential parking (~148 spaces)
*** 204 Residential units (including 17 below-market rate units) + ~30,000
ft of retail
**** Primary retail is grocery store, plus street-level retail
*** Town homes will face little frog park and claremont, as well as Clarke
at 51st st
*** 5 floors of apartments on top of the retail, stepping down toward Clarke
*** On top of project is urban farm with greenhouses incroporated.
*** Slide: 15 community meetings; Over 100 1-on-1 meetings, 13 open houses,
5 meetings with councilmember Kalb
* City of Oakland
** Planning Department - Mike Rivera
*** Working with applicant for a final design solution.
*** We studied w/ design review committee back in 2015 (sept 30th?)
*** City will be looking at land use issues and Sigua? issues --
documentation available on the city website
**** Impacts include: traffic, air quality, noise, aesthetics, shadow, and
this doc will be discussed at the commission, to which the public is
invited.
*** Applicant has consulted with staff, traffic consultant, and traffic
planner.
**** Based on the plan submitted by the applicant, including new / revised
sidewalk ramps around the site (ADA) and wider sidwalks on 51st and
telegraph.
**** Includes removing the slip lane at claremont and telegraph. This is a
narrow stretch and the goal is to eliminate that, revise the crosswalk, and
create a bulb-out.
***** The goal of the bulb-out is to provide more space for pedestrians.
**** New crosswalk on Clarke st & 51st, as well as on Clarke St at Redondo.
**** In addition to those improvements, the applicant is proposing to
remove the nose-something of the island at corner of 51st and telegraph.
**** Decorative landscaping on 51st aproaching Telegraph
**** Public use walkway at Claremont, through the property to Clarke street.
* Q & A
** What about the low-income units?
*** Price depends on number of people in family, should be 30% of annual
income (~50,000-$35,000 / year or below).
** Apartments are the plan, over condos at the time.
*** If condo demand was more substantial demand, they would change to for
sale.
*** Currently planning on apartments.
** Where are the low-income units going to be located?
*** Dispersed, price will be set by market by time project is completed.
*** $3k-$4k / mo range. Studios for $2500.
** Concern brought up that teachers and nurses can't afford these units.
*** Explanation is that there is an alternative to make more
moderately-affordable units, but that's going to take another year and they
don't want to do that.
** Teresa from Frog Park (friends of?)
*** Asked to move entrance to 51st st. Trucks have been moved to 51st st,
requesting residential and retail also enters the garage on 51st st.
*** The short st of Clarke has bad sightlines. This is going to be 100s of
people coming in and out every day with their cars.
*** Respectfully request to move all the entrances to 51st st.
** Traffic Review is available on city's website
** Concern about gridlock, traffic in event of an emergency
** At this point, most of these issues are being recorded rather than
responded to by the developer
** Will there be a caveat (covenant?) in the permit that prevents the
development unit residents from being eligible for permitted street parking?
** Will there be a wall to abate the noise / dust nuisance during
contstruction?
** 18-20 months is construction duration, have not resolved truck access
yet, have not yet made the construction management plan.
**
I need a USB sound card with stereo input.
does anyone have one I can buy cheap? I'm going to hack its inputs to be
DC-coupled ADC's, so any fancy features are wasted on me.
ebay is full of those cheap USB sound cards but they only have one-channel
input.
i might give up and just use multiple of those, but it will be hard to
synchronize them, although that may not matter for my purposes.

Hey remember the MRI project we were talking about a year or two ago?
Does anyone still have any copies of their MRIs? I'm stopping by SudoRoom
to jam and check out this project, probably work on it a little.

a kid friend of mine really really wants minecraft.
apparently you have to pay $27 for it. i could buy it for him but i don't
want to be his sugar daddy, and probably someone on this list has a copy

if so, please email me.

Ok, so either 8am tomorrow morning or some time on Thurs? I'd be fine with
going for the sake/experience of it, or not. Just lmk.
I'm not at omni yet, I'll be by tonight for hardware hacknight and such.
Yeah, there are also many items that do not need to be stored in the
entrance hall, so I would like to put them away properly for good measure.
Finally, I'm cc'ing sudo room and ccl about this timeline and working
together to do an E-waste run before the rough inspection. Anyone available
to make that run? I suggest Universal Waste Management 721 37th Ave (just
off the fwy) open 8am-4pm every day (and they don't charge for most e-waste
and recyclables) http://www.unwaste.com/

Hi Folks,
I have an interactive real-time hardware project where I am wanting good
(non headache coding) interrupt processing that also has good rt support.
I was hoping to leverage the easier function of a linux micro controller
like Beaglebone for the interrupt side, with a connected Teensy for better
RT function. Yet, I haven't seen many people do this and I am worried that
I don't really understand the devil in the details about the tradeoffs well
enough.
Are there ppl on this list that build projects with these kinds of
interactive real-time demands that can help me sort through the best
choices during some hack night?
Thanks,
-Cere

Helping a friend close down a West Oak hacker house today. There's a ton of (nice) furniture, a couple monitors, grocery/pantry items, and stacks upon stacks of quality, basically brand new mattresses and beds. They are getting rid of everything today. I immediately thought of Sudo/Omni; maybe the org or some individuals could use some stuff. As time is of the essence, I'd encourage you to email me directly at championsoundsystem(a)gmail.com or text me at 415-378-3335 if this could be of use.

sudoroom has a nice air compressor.
some pictures here:
http://imgur.com/gallery/QBOG4
here is the manual:
http://www.chpower.com/IMAGES/pdfs/manual00/611301_0504.pdf
I am presently trying to figure out why it leaks air from a valve whose
purpose I don't understand. In the meantime it is working now.
My friend is offering to lend us a plasma cutter, which is like a welder
but cuts metal instead of welding it together. It uses electricity and
compressed air, and when we attach the business end to the robot, we will
be able to cut precise shapes out of steel of significant thickness,
making the laser cutter very jealous.
can someone print out the air compressor manual (PDF link above) and
perhaps put it in a binder so it doesn't get grimy? We can attach it to
the compressor somehow.

yesterday sudoroom was offered an ex-uhaul box truck for donation.
we would be giving a donation receipt to someone else (the owner) &
give the person/group making the offer to us a shared use agreement.
it might be in need of minor repair but otherwise drives.
the offerer claims to have somewhere to park it in case we don't want to
deal with it &
wants shared access as part of the deal.
the offerer's group's 501c3 fell through &
need to provide a donation receipt to the actual donor.
i feel it would be an asset to the omni community
as would a storage space for omni tables/chairs/etc
i, hereby, publicly declare war on the rats at the omni. please deploy and
maintain live traps if you object to the campaign as snap traps will be the
weapon of choice. this war has no leader or general but strategy sessions
will be held at 8:00pm every monday. please attend or contribute at
https://pad.riseup.net/p/rodent-war-plan
thank you

would a bus pirate work?

*Statewide Tenants’ Rights Counselor Training*
Want to join the movement for housing justice? Join our crew of volunteers
as a hotline counselor, and get trained on tenant’s rights! Next training:
May 31st and June 1st from 5:30-8:00 pm *(both days required). *
*To sign up, we ask that you fill out our application here
<http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/1AA/ni0YAA/t.1wp/qQj7uhOPR-60RayRemsv…>

*[image description: on the left three adults and a young boy stand staring
at the camera and hold up a long banner that reads “join the fight for
renters rights”. They are marching in protest. On the right of the image is
a block of white text against a black background that reads “Join the fight
for housing justice! Tenant’s rights counselor training May 31st and June
1st 5:30-8:00 pm 2016”]*
Tenants Together, California's Statewide Organization for Renters' Rights
(based in San Francisco), seeks volunteers to become tenants’ rights
counselors. Tenants Together volunteers have worked alongside over ten
thousand California renters as they learn and fight for their rights.
Counselors help tenants fight against evictions, rent increases,
uninhabitable living conditions and the wholesale displacement of their
communities.
*Counselors are key in the fight against gentrification and displacement. *As
a Tenant Hotline Counselor you will play a key role in empowering tenants
to assert their rights and protect their homes and families. Recently
counselors have been educating tenants in cities like Alameda, Hayward,
Richmond and Concord that are being massively affected by the affordable
housing crisis in SF and the Bay Area to make sure tenants don’t pack up
and leave when they get a rent increase. As we have seen in SF and Oakland,
the appalling impacts of displacement always more intensely affect people
of color, low income communities, disabled and elderly folks, and immigrant
communities. Counselors have the opportunity to work directly with those
who are most affected by the housing crisis, not only to bring them vital
information, but to catalyze them to organize, and to support them in this
struggle for their rights.
*The next scheduled training, over two days, is: *
*Monday, May 24th 5:30-8pm *
*Tuesday, May 25th 5:30-8pm *
BOTH DAYS are required to complete the counseling training. You will learn
invaluable skills to help your community and become part of a team fighting
for housing justice.
Volunteers are expected to commit to at least 3 hours per week at the
Tenants Together office located at 474 Valencia St, San Francisco. The
Hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., and
Thursdays 6:00-8:00 pm (we can also consider alternative time
slots/duration during the week, please contact Sara to discuss)
We aim to help build an anti-racist, feminist, multiracial, anti-oppressive
tenant movement. This means we do not tolerate racism, homophobia, ableism,
transphobia, islamophobia, classism, cis-sexism, or sexism. We also hope to
continue working to make this event, and our office, as accessible as
possible to everyone who is interested in being part of the fight for
housing justice.
*Accessibility:* The building/ office is wheelchair accessible and is 2
city blocks from 16th and Mission BART . We will be taking regular breaks
throughout the training. We have a gender inclusive bathroom. Unfortunately
we are not currently a scent-free working space. If you have any
accessibility concerns, requests or comments please email
sara(a)tenantstogether.org
*Again*, *To sign up, we ask that you fill out our application here

Hello fellow-JS-ers,
Tomorrow night (Thursday 4/28) at Javascript night, I'm planning to work
through this
<http://www.meetup.com/Build-With-Code-San-Francisco/events/230640534/>
lecture/program on
some aspects of the language I haven't yet gone deeply into. Hopefully
enough interested people show up to do the pair programing part of the
agenda :)
>From the event page:
- Learn and build with the hard parts of JavaScript through intuitive
lectures and pair-programming
- This week for Javascript - The Hard Parts we cover Callbacks and
Higher Order Functions. This includes how to handle or recreate the
functions:
- map • reduce • forEach This is a concept that 80% of JavaScript
engineers do not understand but are at the core of every single
successful
application.
- This is possible because we'll understand the essence of these
tough concepts and then switch into pair-programming through the
challenges
to cement the concepts
- The evening session is comprised of:
- 6:30 - 6:45pm: Sign in and meet your future pair programming
partner.
- 6:45 - 7:15pm: Core JavaScript concept for the challenge and
introduction to the secret hack for learning to code -
pair-programming.
- 7:15 - 8:00pm: Pair-programming.
If anyone has suggestions for better tutorials for these concepts in JS
specifically, please let me know. Otherwise, it will be interesting to try
it out and see what happens, and maybe get some new people in the space.
I'm trying to reverse-engineer the communication between a USB OTG device
and an android app.
Does anyone have a "Beagle USB 12" or similar device that I might be able
to borrow for a couple of hours?
Or failing that, does anyone have an android device with usbmon enabled in
the kernel?
I can meet you at your hackerspace of choice. Will bring beer :)

Hi! I'm working on a project to develop an open source decentralized system
for sharing biological samples (DNA, strains, etc). Think decentralized
github + inventory tracking + biological sneakernet :)
I'm doing the client and server side javascript but we need someone to help
us with the UI/UX design and implementation.
Let me know if you're interested and we can meet up somewhere.
Formal description below.
------
# Description
Work with the bionet team to develop UI/UX for web app aimed at
facilitating the decentralized sharing of open source physical biological
materials (DNA, strains, etc). Work will include developing web app look
and feel through communication with the rest of the team, sketching
wireframes, building mockups and implementing a UI for the web app using
HTML and CSS (no javascript).
# Time commitment
Part-time employed position for now.
# Start date
Immediate.
# About the team
We're a small team of six dedicated humans working on aspects of the
project
ranging from wetware and legal to hardware and software. You will work
closely with our software lead to integrate UI with frontend/backend
functionality, and collaborate with all teammembers on aspects of the app

# Software details
The project is new and development on the first prototype is underway but
in
its early stages. All code is being released under open source licenses.
The software stack is nodejs + leveldb + browserify using modules and ideas
for decentralized/offline web apps developed by folks including substack,
mafintosh, dominictarr and maxogden. Focus is on development and reuse of
small modular components rather than reliance on existing frameworks.

html+css development for both desktop and mobile. Experience with
development of custom graphical UI assets. Basic command line experience
and ability to use git/github a plus. Javascript experience a plus but
definitely not required. Experience with open source development a plus.
