Hello Sudoers-Meshers:
We are having Omni work parties for the last three Saturdays, and we have
postpone the wiring run from the point of entry to the Server area, only
because we don't have the cable. This line brings the phone+Internet to the
omni itself.
Guestimating the run is about 70' long.
But, if we can get a box of 500' or 1000' would be awesome, so that the
rest can be used by the Sudomesh projects as well.
Can someone help us out? If we get it by Saturday, I volunteer myself to do
this job on Saturday as part of the work party.
Many thanks in advance,
Daniel

I would be so frustrated if I had to do all the work to make a domain
transition happen smoothly across all our websites, email lists, etc
... just because this one person is flaking out.
Gandi is exactly where we tried moving it to ... last year ... and the
year before ...

We've been trying to move away from Godaddy for years. The problem is,
we don't control the account. The person who initially registered it
is no longer involved with sudoroom and is not answering emails. I
have been sending him emails approximately every two months for the
past year and a half, most of them along the lines of "hey can you
please help us or let us know what you need? thanks!"

Yasnac Lattice Path Algorithm Night!
[image: robot_arm]Robot starts at the top! Premise
We were inspired by the *Algorithm Meetup* featured this week on Robot Paths
<https://github.com/AlgorithmsMeetup/RobotPaths> in a Lattice Graph!
Imagine an n by m grid with a robot in the upper left square. If the robot
can only move right or down, how many different paths are there for the
robot to get to the bottom right corner?
[image: robot_arm2]
<https://sudoroom.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/robot_arm2.png>and then
the robot needs to move to the bottom!

Sometimes these algorithms feel like real life. There are many ways to get
to the same point, sometimes you have to steer past obstacles and time

Learning
The learning was very social and using an entire whiteboard was really fun.
It was especially important to get people away from their computers, where
hidden dangers like web surfing and social networks lurked. It was also a
great way to get to know other people, and create and draw and visualize
complex problems.
Ending Poem
We’d had the idea to end each session with a poem, which was more
challenging than we thought.
However, it is a little useful to write a short piece to assess what you’ve
learned that night.
*Start out by learning from examples,*
*Build upon the basics and progress slowly, absorbing all,*
*Surround yourself with smart people,*
*Begin with simple recursion problems, *
*Tweak the code,*
*then dip your toes into the advanced theory like djikstra *
*Get the hell away from a computer*
*Learning is life!*

Any ideas for giving our Linux Friday night a new name?
- Linux for Einstein the dog that ran for mayor- it had so much integrity even Einstein installed Linux! (Photo of Einstein)
- Linux for women and men and everything else - we depict Linux as being cross gender
- Linux cheerleaders
Right now no matter what nobody is coming to Linux fridays!
Nobody is volunteering to lead this so it'd be good to see someone do it righteously

yar and i agreed to talk about eian moon tomorrow b4 the delegates meeting,
however, all he did was annoy me by taking so long to leave after i asked
him to.
though i don't understand baps' seemingly ambiguous membership policy, i.e.
once a member always a member? if you teach a class, are you a member? do
members get keys to omni door? etc., it might be appropriate to loop them
into the discussion since eian might be a member of baps. james moon was
more or less being vouched for by matt stewart who has quite a bit of
background info on eian & james moons' recent interactions...i spoke w/matt
s. today about it.
finally, i want to thank those members who have supported me during a
difficult week around the omni in regards to building security matters.
cheers

Hey all,
Wrote up a simple protocol and evaluated some prices for the dearth of
lockers we currently have:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Lockers
If we reach capacity, we should be able to bring in $460 / month.
I'm going to buy some locks and put latches on all the currently
un-latch-able lockers.

My awesome friend wants to hook up the Omni/Sudo/someone with a very nice
wooden conference table. You will need to pick it up yourself from the
financial district. Let me know if you're interested or have questions and
I can pass on the contact info of my friend.

i still do not know the nature of the argument. james moon left before i
could ask and eian never said during his outburst....
i heard yelling so i went upstairs to find eian moon yelling at james moon.
james moon was repeatedly sayin "just leave me alone" and eian moon was
continuing to verbally abuse him. i informed eian moon very calmly that he
had to go due to his behavior. i had to endure about 45 mins of eian moon
verbal abuse before he finally left.

My personal opinion is that James Moon should be banned. I have not
met him personally, but I have talked to a number of people who felt
unsafe during his outbursts and yelling sprees in July. He has a very
sordid history which I won't go into here, but is searchable online.
The only reason he wasn't formally banned is that he ragequit himself
and nobody expected him to return.
I have had nothing but good experiences with Eian Moon, so this
surprises me. He's helped out with the building working group - helped
me hang the big white door from La Commune to the basement. He's
participating in Becoming Omni planning process, in the "invitations"
subgroup along with Matt Senate. He's also teaching a Public School
class, which is on their calendar:

I've emailed Eian Moon and Robb, requesting to talk in person outside
of Omni. I will try to play that role. I'm not really interested in
mediating with James Moon, given everything I know about him.

Actually I stand corrected, James Moon applied to be a Sudoroom member
a couple months ago, before he went on a yelling spree that scared a
bunch of people away, and was then blocked from membership and banned.
great idea mary. we are not perfect judges & could libel someone

late last night, i had to ban ian moon for verbally & physically
threatening(cane) james moon with a weapon (moon vs moon, lol).
it took about 45 min. to actually get him out of the building & then he got
back in w/jeremy (sudoroom member).
he said that he would be back in 2 weeks & there was nothing we could do to
keep him out of the building when he returns.
i feel like i should just start an omni non-member bullshit blog so as not
to tax our mail server.

https://github.com/sudoroom/robot-arm-art
we have a bunch of code on the github.
Even a little stuff added, like extra photographs, links would be helpful.

There's already an omni-mediation list and an omni-discuss list. I
think sudo-discuss is NOT the place for this. Sudoroom is just a
hackerspace inside the Omni, and it sounds like the people involved
were not Sudoroom members nor did they claim to be, and the events did
not happen inside Sudoroom.

sudofriends,
This is just an FYI, that foolsFury Theater Co. is renting the Disco room
for rehearsals many nights throughout the next month or so, and they will
be using one of the trunk lockers on the north west end of sudoroom. Yar
said it was okay. They will donate to sudoroom in return shortly.
Just letting folks know in case they see strangers walking through. They
are friendly. Say hello if you feel inclined.
Love,
Julio
i am really tired of playing cat-n-mouse w/the outside doors at the omni.
a day or two ago i told jerome that i would be moving for a permanent ban
on whoever i discovered was propping the doors open.
after i let jerome in the building this morning, i discovered that jerome
had left the shattuck side/ballroom door open so i asked him "what the
fuck" he left the door open for.
rather than answer my question he took offense at my tone (understandably
as i was angry) got in my face pointing and tried to start a fight with me
with
i get that jerome helps out around here but leaving the doors open for
anyone to walk in at anytime completely negates the occasional floor
mopping that he does, imho.
i will not be letting jerome in anytime soon
