Everything they write will be public and brought to a meeting, but things shouldn't be "hashed out", meaning the long fact-finding conversations don't happen at meetings.

Fwd: Pleas send out over your networks TODAY? ???!!

by Matthew Senate

Filling in on this panel by last-minute request. Promoting the Omni Commons fund-raising campaign and seeking connections to others who can contribute. The Grange represents a very intriguing parallel organizing history to our initiative with Omni Commons, I would enjoy engaging others in comparisons, etc. What does the struggle over the commons look like in rural vs urban contexts? // Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Severine von Tscharner Fleming <smithereen(a)me.com> Date: Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 2:48 PM Subject: Pleas send out over your networks TODAY? ???!! To: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> *Tonight from 7-9 PM Grange Future will be inhabiting the community space that is Shaping SF <http://www.shapingsf.org/>. We will have presentations by Matt Senate, Brewster Kahle and Severine Fleming along with our traveling Grange Future pop-up exhibit on display. The event is free and open to the public. * Mutual aid societies proliferated during the gilded age, as workers, miners, loggers, and farmers joined together in fraternal orders. The Grange, or patrons of husbandry" was such an order, founded in 1867 by forward thinking farmer Oliver Kelley, assisted by his niece Caroline Hall. Grange Future <http://www.grangefuture.org/> is a celebratory tour organized by Greenhorns <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/>, a young farmers cultural organization. This will be our 9th stop on the tour-- investigating the revival and preservation of the grange as a commons. It's an inter-generational event to help interpret the radical history, and potential of the grange for both greenhorns and the grey-hairs who've loyally tended this community-owned institution, its lovely halls and ritual practices. As victorian as it is Occupy, the grange holds a powerful critique of monopoly capitalism. The grange was the first order to give equal votes to women, and operated as a social hall, economic reform organ, and legislative training facility for the populist movement. Grangers believed mightily in yeoman agriculture, in direct democracy, and in equal access to information and science. Grangers successfully organized thousands of co-operatives across the country as well as the 8 "Granger laws" regulating railroad monopolies, and lobbied successfully for Rural Free Mail Delivery -- the equivalent in its day to rural broadband or electrification. Aren't today's cooperatives <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/guidebooks/cooperativefarming/>, open source licenses, hacker-spaces and mutual-aid associations an analog response to Gilded-age type concentration of capital? Is the grange a venue for the sharing economy <http://communityenterpriselaw.org/forming-community-enterprise/nonprofit-or…>, today's populists and common-wealth advocates working on a public-banking <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/13/post-office-banking-_n_4776767.html> to rescue a failing Post Office (threatened with privatization), the community seed banks (threatened with USDA regulation), to host buying clubs, co-packing facilities, affordable rural day-care and fix-it potlucks? As a generation with 1.3 trillion dollars in student loans, don't we need a club-house for community action, democracy schools, and doesn't it not matter if we aren't all farmers? This tour brings a multi-format exhibit showcasing the radical themes of Grange history to more than a dozen Grange halls in the state of California. It’s a chance to interact with next-generation grangers working on inter-generational truce-making. It's a chance to learn how to operate the microphones, the power breakers, the correct arrangement of pots. In short, it's a place to meet the keepers of the Commons. Severine has created a slide show presentation with contemporary echoes of Grange Spirit. We continue to sniff out and study, and perform oral histories on emergent cultural forms and trends. So far we’ve documented: Pancake breakfasts, benevolent societies, community orchards, seed libraries, and community canneries. Our exploration of past and present populism continues. Listenhere <http://thegreenhorns.us2.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=df3f36b607325b38808…> for the podcasts of the Grange Future Oral history project. Matt Senate collaborates with many others on the Omni Commons, a grass-roots initiative to forge a commons in the east bay within a 20,000 square foot former Italian social club (and former music venue). Using a spokes-council model and horizontalist organizing practices, the Omni Oakland Collective is constituted by member collectives and operates on a consensus-based process, as well as with do-ocratic values. He is a co-founder of the Sudo Room, an Omni Commons member collective, and home of the Sudo Mesh project launching the People's Open Network, a community-owned and -operated wireless mesh network. Brewster Kahle <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewster_Kahle> has been working to provide Universal Access to All Knowledge for more than twenty-five years. Since the mid-1980s, Kahle has focused on developing technologies for information discovery and digital libraries. In 1989 Kahle invented the Internet's first publishing system, WAIS (Wide Area Information Server) system and in 1989, founded WAIS Inc., a pioneering electronic publishing company that was sold to America Online in 1995. In 1996, Kahle founded the Internet Archive which may be the largest digital library. At the same time, he co-founded Alexa Internet which helps catalog the Web in April 1996, which was sold to Amazon.com <http://amazon.com/> in 1999. Kahle earned a B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1982. As a student, he studied artificial intelligence with W. Daniel Hillis and Marvin Minsky. In 1983, Kahle helped start Thinking Machines, a parallel supercomputer maker, serving there as a lead engineer for six years. He serves on the boards of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Public Knowledge, the European Archive, the Television Archive, and the Internet Archive. Severine Fleming is a farmer, activist, and organizer based in the Champlain Valley of New York. She is director of Greenhorns <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/>, a grassroots organization with the mission to recruit, promote and support the rising generation of new farmers in America. Severine has spent the last seven years gathering, bundling and broadcasting the voices and vision of young agrarians. Greenhorns runs a weekly radio show on Heritage Radio Network <http://www.heritageradionetwork.org/> and a popular blog. They produce many kinds of media, from documentary films to almanacs, anthologies, mix-tapes, posters, guidebooks and digital maps. They are best known the documentary film, “The Greenhorns” <http://www.thegreenhorns.net/category/media/documentary/> and the raucous young farmer mixers they’ve thrown in 37 states and 14 grange halls. Severine is co-founder and board secretary of Farm Hack <http://farmhack.net/home/>, an online, open-source platform for appropriate and affordable farm tools and technologies, as well asNational Young Farmers Coalition <http://www.youngfarmers.org/> which now boasts 23 state and regional coalitions. She serves on the board of the Schumacher Center for New Economics, which hosts Agrarian Trust, <http://agrariantrust.org/> her latest startup, focused on land access for beginning farmers, and permanent protection of affordable organic farmland. Grange Future is a community history project undertaken by The Greenhorns to investigate the the Patrons of Husbandry as a 125 year old populist movement, and to showcase the Granges and Grange-like organizations continuing to work, and organize in this spirit. We see the Granges as an appropriate vessel for futurist, family-farm oriented community action, with a strong basis in economic theory, resistance and cooperation. We hope to embolden greenhorns in our network with an entry-point into the grange movement, to unlock and revive the many grange halls currently hibernating: to use the syllabus of past actions to inform contemporary ones, and to reclaim the radical politics of the grange at the local and national levels. With this project we’ve captured the history and current activities in audio, visual, and written form, we’re gleaning the institutional wisdom from decades of agrarian organizing, and connecting with the broad community tackling similar themes throughout the nation. Community is the pre-condition for action, if you too feel inspired by the grange, we hope you will join in the convening, the kinship and the future-making.

Crisis Resources: Help curate this important page!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, I've started a wiki page to document crisis resources, namely homeless shelters, hotlines, domestic violence programs and drug and alcohol rehab programs: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Crisis_Resources This is the beginning of a research project that I'd love to have others collaborate on. It involves: * Documenting known resources on the wiki page, * Cross-checking to ensure each resource still exists and has a good reputation, * Creating a paper-based handout we can give to folks in need (frontdesk = helpdesk!), * Circulating knowledge of available resources among our community so we can tailor recommendations to individual needs. Please help by contributing a few resources to the wiki and documenting the address, URL and phone number of each addition: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Crisis_Resources Many thanks, Jenny Help open a people-powered common space in Oakland, California! https://omnicommons.org/donate `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.

Laser gantry, oh gantry, where art thou drivers?

by Adam Munich

Hi all, The full spectrum laser cutter I brought to the hacker pace has been out of service for some time, after Brendon's attempt to fix its loose keyswitch ended in board-popping disaster. (Shit happens, **but ermehgawd always remove power before fixing circuits guize**) Anyway, I bought some new stepper motor drivers to replace the burnt ones on the controller, but unfortunately there seems to be more wrecked with it than just that simple fix. I'd love to get this thing working for the community, though, that's a bit hard with no brains for the machine. A new board from full spectrum is $1500, but I contacted them with a "we're a poor hackerspace" card and they'd be willing to replace it for $250 if I mail in the old controller, which I feel is within raise-able reach. This would give us full access to their software suite / print driver, and a reliable machine. The other option, suggested by rayc is to use an arduino, stepper controllers and a g-code generating toolchain to run the machine. While I don't see any reason why that couldn't work, I feel like that might be a bit awkward for people who wish to use the cutter, and further makes the guide I wrote kind of useless. http://hack.rit.edu/tools/full-spectrum-laser-cutter/ As a community, what do y'all believe is best?

Electrical cords running out to the street

by niki

There's an electrical cord that has been hanging out of the window by the front door. I think it's okay to let community members use electricity while they are here, but we need to communicate that cords should be brought back in when they're finished using them. I'm not sure who talked to the gentleman who is charging his motorbike - he said it was brought up at Sudo room - but I asked him not to leave the cord out there and if that message could be reinforced that would be great! <3 N

I'm going to pee sitting down at the omni: A call for others to join.

by Maximilian Klein

Please excuse the unusual nature of this email and take me seriously for a moment. I have started the practice of sitting down to pee at the Omni, which is not something I do anywhere else in my life. Before I continue, you may well be wondering if I am assuming that my readership are the owners of "hoses" as Arnas called them . "No" is the answer, but of course if you already urinate while sitting then perhaps this call to action is less germane. Here is my reasoning: 1. I Care about bathroom cleanliness at the Omni. 2. After close inspection, and many trials, even with the utmost care I cannot urinate standing up in a way that gets all my urine securely in the bowl without splashing a very small amount. 3. In my experiments peeing sitting down is almost fail-safe at getting all my urine in the toilet bowl. 4. I have the option to sit down to pee. Since there are two options, and one is superior from a cleanliness point of view - albeit slightly more labour intensive - and since cleaning will be done in solidarity by one of our members; I therefore am pledging to sit down to pee at the Omni. I hope you will take this position with me, if you can, to build a cleaner Omni. Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

Hi. I'm working on SudoKit <https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit> . - the goal is to make a physical artistic "learn how to use sudoroom" kit that uses the internet, digital phones & tablets as much as possible + encourages folks to use the sudroom It's basically a series of boxes with paper placemats inside. each placemat represents a project I want to put out periodic Maps like this one that are fun. here's a very rough draft *- does one already exist? has someone worked on it* - i want these to be playful - there should be an adventure every time someone visits - hopefully solves the problem of being overwhelmed... encourages exploration https://sudoroom.org/wiki/SudoKit#SudoRoom_Treasure_Map ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Elliot Hughes

by Matthew Senate

While I wasn't there for this latest instance, this is the second time in our new location (I was present the first time) and at least the fourth instance related to sudo room, of Elliot escalating a situation to a physical, even violent, response on his part. I am no longer willing to tolerate this behavior and continue to risk all the love, care, and work that goes into making all of omni commons, and each collective, a thriving and safer community and space. In sum, it seems evident that Elliot's continued involvement in omni commons is already a greater cost, and even greater potential risk, than a revocation of his privilege to use the space. I propose sudo room in particular revoke Elliot's non-member privilege to access the sudo room, and therefore the omni commons, until Elliot can provide the sudo room membership with tangible evidence of a new investment in the prevention of physical violence and marked improvement of his own behavior in this regard. // Matt

Update on sudo-discuss problems

by Ira Brightman

Hi All, The two previous posts did not go to this gmail but did go to my yahoo email -- of course into my spam folder. So, the main thing is for someone to forward my posts so everyone can see them. And can someone tell me how I can get my posts to come to this email where everyone else's posts arrive at, but not mine for some reason (and here none go into the spam folder). Hope I haven't taken up too much time and space with all this, but the yahoo spam folder thing is something everyone should be aware of. Have a funny day. Best, Ira Brightman
