Invoice from Omni Oakland

by Omni Oakland

Dear Sudo Room, It is amgo. To help clear up the epaper trail, I changed your April rent invoice to reflect all the internet payments you have paid on behalf of Omni minus the one month of wifi payment each collective owes. Sudo paid $1080 for eight months of wifi. $2000 rent - $1080 for past wifi payments = $920 RENT On top of that you owe $135 for your share of WiFi. This brings the total to $1055. Your accidental payment of $870.73 on March 2nd is subtracted from that total so that now you owe $184.27. You emailed Finance WG explaining it this way: Matt accidentally deposited $870.73 on March 2nd that should be detracted from rent. *** Internet was $135/month, from July-February (8 months) = $1080, minus sudo's share (1/8) = $135. $1080 - $135 = $945 *** $870.73 + $945 = $1815.73 *** $2000 rent - $1815.73 = $184.27 rent for April You can think of it in whichever way is clearest for you. I am doing it this way to make it clear on the books. Thanks so much for covering the wifi and being a rad collective and prompt rent payers. xoxo amgo ------------------------ Invoice Summary -------------------------- Invoice # : 1006 Invoice Date: 03/25/2015 Due Date: 04/01/2015 Terms: Net 30 Amount Due: $184.27 The complete version has been provided as an attachment to this email. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Bills bills bills

by Sarah Pritchard

Dear Omni Financiers, I just sent you all invoices for monthly expenses and June rent at the Omni. Please let me know if you did not receive your invoices. For your reference, here is a breakdown of the shared expenses in May: *Utilities:* - PG&E: $587.23 - EBMUD: $478.60 - WM: $140.36 *Taxes & Insurance:* - Building insurance: $661.00 - Property taxes: $797.28 - Business tax: $181.35 Starting this month, the shared expenses are calculated by subtracting $100 for Optikallusions' contribution and then dividing utilities by 7 member collectives and 1 tenant. The taxes and insurance are split evenly between the 7 member collectives. Let me know if you have questions about any of this. Otherwise, please pay your invoices as soon as possible. As always, if you know you will be late paying your rent and/or shared expenses, please let the Finances Working Group know so we can plan accordingly. THANK$$, Sarah + Finances WG

JOB: Linux systems administrator, part time

by Vicky Knox

Psst.. [spaghettinight] sys-admin job from: Boris Fain boris.fain at gmail.com Hi all - If anyone wants to pick up a little extra cash, I'm posting this position. If you have run and installed Linux yourself you are 1/2 way to the skill-set and we can train you for the rest. It's a flex gig very chill for the right person. Linux systems administrator, part time: InterX inc is looking for a part-time sys-admin. The continuous duties are fairly light, with periods of occasional burst activity (upgrades, etc.). You will be responsible for a small (300 cores) HPC cluster, and occasional EC2 spillover. You will also occasionally interact with vendors. User complains are fairly light, but are expected to be addressed within 48 hours. As there's on-site activity local candidate is preferred though much of the work can be done remotely. Relevant skills: Fluency with Linux and cluster configurations. Rocks Clusters experience desired. EC2 and StarCluster experience a plus. Fluency in basic scripting, system maintenance and backup strategy a must. This is probably best suited for a graduate student who wants to make some money on the side.

Techno-Activism Third (Tuesdays): Discussion with Julia Reda, Pirate Party MEP

by Danny O'Brien

(This Techno-Activism Third Monday will, confusingly, be on TUESDAY 21ST this month. Don't forget to update your calendar! And feel free to forward this on to anyone you think may be interested.) Join Pirate Party MEP Julia Reda in a discussion about the EU Copyright Evaluation Report, and the prospects for better global copyright in the 21st Century. The European Union has begun the process of evaluating its current copyright law with a view to updating it. As part of that process, Julia Reda, the Pirate Party member of the European Parliament, prepared an extensive report recommending a number of reforms, including liberal licensing of government works, measures to safeguard the public domain, a harmonisation of copyright term length across the EU, explicit allowances for linking, parody, quotation and data-mining, and limits to legal restrictions on bypassing DRM. This month the Parliament voted to accept the report, with some amendments. Julia Reda will be at this month's San Francisco TA3M to talk about her work as the report's author, and next steps in reforming copyright in Europe, the United States, and the world. Date: Tuesday, July 21st Time: 6:00pm Location: EFF offices, 815 Eddy Street, San Francisco More info: https://juliareda.eu/ https://juliareda.eu/copyright-evaluation-report/ http://www.ip-watch.org/2015/07/09/eu-parliament-adopts-reda-report-on-copy… === What is this again? Techno-Activism Third Mondays (TA3M) is an informal meetup to connect activists and technologists who are interested in the challenges of surveillance and censorship, and anyone interested in free and open technology. TA3M happens all over the world, from Amsterdam to Tokyo. You can find out your local meetup here: https://wiki.openitp.org/events%3Atechno-activism_3rd_mondays Want to receive these TA3M-SF updates regularly?

Re: [sudo-discuss] [CCL] Anyone see a black backpack with camera gear?

by Alan Wong

That really sucks! Has this happened before? I ended up working w/ the micology group in the kitchen after we cleaned up the casein experiment. I left my backpack and laptop bag in the CCL and thought it better to go up and get it after 20 minutes unattended--just in case..Couldn't afford to lose my laptop. I hope they found the lost items.

Door access

by Julio Rios

Friends, There have been some issues over the last few days with people disrupting the space, that it has become necessary to restate the access policy of the Omni. During the hours that La Commune is open (Tue-Sun 12-6pm) the bookstore is open to the public. Outside of those hours, the Omni is NOT open to the public and the door is to always be shut closed, not latched open. During those closed hours, the Omni is open to members of collectives, or to their guests who must be accompanied by members at all times. During events, such as BAPS classes, the point person for the event is responsible for all the participants who are not members. Other volunteers are working on door access tomorrow at noon if anyone wants to help make the building more conducive to having a safe environment. Love, Julio

omni is running out of money

by Jake

if sudoroom wants the omni to continue to exist, we will need to all get on-board to keep this boat afloat. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 17:26:13 -0700 From: Sarah Pritchard <sarahloupritchard(a)gmail.com> To: "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: [omni-consensus] !! Financial announcement !! Hi friends,I'm stuck at work and probably won't make it to the delegate's meeting tonight, but I wanted to make an announcement about the Omni's finances. As many of you know, the Omni has been running a monthly deficit of about $8,000 - $9,000 every month. We've been able to make up for that by dipping into the funds raised in December through the Indiegogo campaign, but those funds are running out quickly. We currently only have enough $$ in the bank to cover two months of rent and expenses. Member collectives can do your part by paying invoices on time (and even early if you're able!) for the next few months. If your collective has outstanding invoices for rent and shared expenses, this would be a great time to appeal to your members for extra support so you can pay any $$ still owed to the Omni. The finances working group has been updating our Quickbooks and will soon be able to present more detailed and thrilling financial reports so everyone will have a clearer picture of where the Omni's money is coming from and how it's being spent. Better data = more lucid decisions. Let me know if you have any questions about this. The next finances working group will be held on Wednesday, July 22 at 7 pm at the Omni. Come hang out with us if you want to learn more about Omni $$$. xxxxooo, SP

Re: [sudo-discuss] wheelchair motor controller

by Jake

if you put a 1 ohm resistance, you will just blow up the resistor. 24 volts divided by 1 ohm = 24 amps 24 volts times 24 amps = 576 watts you need to find the highest number of ohms that will still cause the motor controller to not give you an error. Lets say you find that a 100 ohm resistor (in place of the missing motor) causes the controller to be OK. When you move the joystick, and it tries to turn the fake motor, it will give it up to 24volts. But it's a 100 ohm resistor. 24v / 100 ohm = 0.24 amps 24v * 0.25 amps = 5.76 watts if it works with a 100 ohm, you should use that. 5.76 watts is reasonable. 576 watts is most of a horsepower and is not reasonable. 5 in case you're not confused i'll tell you this: the power a motor consumes (from a fixed voltage source for example) depends on the amount of force it's putting out. So if you have a motor just spinning a wheel in the air it doesn't take as much power as if you're making it grind grain, or push a fat person up a steep incline. The ohms you measure when you use a multimeter on the stopped motor correspond to its MAXIMUM power, basically. so if you stopped the motor and applied 24v, 576 watts would flow through it and heat it up pretty fast. But if you let it spin freely in the air, its effective impedance would be much higher than 1 ohm! as for how to isolate the motors for different jobs.. we can read the manual on the control box and adjust the settings, or just hook up the computer control and let it do all the work. I don't know though. -jake On Thu, 16 Jul 2015, Robert Benson wrote: > i'm such an idiot. when i checked the motor resistance, i checked the controller's motor circuit resistance. the actual motor resistance is 1 ohm. > > however, even idiots get lucky...the motor worked with 100ohm. having realized the above, i will not power it again until i find a 1ohm resistor. > > for the record, moving the joystick in any direction moves the wheel in some way. so how do we isolate the motors for different jobs? > > On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 12:49 AM, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: > what do you mean both motors > > you only have one motor last i checked. > > On Thu, 16 Jul 2015, Robert Benson wrote: > > my ohmmeter had a "k" in front of the ohm symbol when it read 150 k ; not a M or just the ohm symbol. > > datasheet i posted earlier seemed to suggest the motor is 120V while the brake solenoid is 24V > > both motors read 150kiloohm :/ > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:45 PM, Robert Benson <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > gonna have to have a high wattage rating, huh? > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:41 PM, Robert Benson <sf99er(a)gmail.com> wrote: > 150k says the motor > > > on hunt for same > > On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 11:30 PM, Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote: > a wire jumper is approximately zero ohms, which will destroy stuff when power flows through it. > > the motor controller is complaining because it sees infinity ohms across the missing motor's terminals.

Outernet edit-a-thon this weekend

by Pete Forsyth

Hi all, There's a cool event based in Uganda, but designed for remote participation, this weekend. "Outernet" is a project to repurpose satellites to "broadcast" free information, that can be picked up by inexpensive receivers, for free, and then reshared for free over local networks/WiFi. A way to get information to remote and underserved parts of the world. It's one-way communication, so certainly not a replacement for the Internet or a total solution to the Digital Divide -- but a very cool project nonetheless. They are also developing democratic processes for deciding what content to share. They are having an edit-a-thon this weekend. I thought Sudo folks might be interested. Keep in mind, this is 10am to 10pm Uganda time -- which midnight to noon Saturday Pacific (I think it's the same hours Sunday, need to confirm). Event link/signup: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/outernet-edit-a-thon-tickets-17702656121 And see their blog post: http://blog.outernet.is/please-steal-this-blog-post/?utm_source=Outernet+Up… If anybody would like to pass this along to Noisebridge or other lists that might be interested, please do! -Pete [[User:Peteforsyth]] on the wiki

Per Jake's suggestion, I hacked 2 server PSUs to get 24v@14a but the controller is not working and the error code says the right wheel/motor is missing/not engaged. Anyone know what I am missing? Do I need to jump something to get the controller to engage while it is "incomplete"? Thank you, robb let thar b lulz

Invoice 1006 from Omni Oakland

by Omni Oakland

Hi there, Checking in about payment for Sudo Room's rent in April (see attached invoice). I apologize for not being totally in the loop on this, but it's my impression that the Omni agreed to give Sudo a $135.00 rebate on your April rent as reimbursement for paying the Omni's wifi. Is that correct? If so, please see the outstanding balance on your invoice for April 2015 rent and process payment as soon as you're able. Otherwise, please let me know if any of this is incorrect so I can update your invoice accordingly. Thanks so much! Sarah + Finances WG ------------------------ Invoice Summary -------------------------- Invoice # : 1006 Invoice Date: 03/25/2015 Due Date: 04/01/2015 Terms: Net 30 Amount Due: $1,680.73 The complete version has been provided as an attachment to this email. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
