Hi Helen, the truth is that there is no one in charge of the sewing machines, and if you feel qualified to work on them and improve them, you should go ahead and do that. If you can document what you're doing, it will help if you can either do that on paper by the machines, or preferably by editing the sudoroom wiki. If you are not familiar with Wiki editing, there are people who can help you get started with that. I brought in the Embroidery machine, and I know a little about how it works, but i'm no expert. We appreciate anything you can do to help get all the machines working just right. Note; one of them is a button sewing machine. I think it was mistaken for a serger (which we do not have, but we want) so I am hoping it can be returned and we can get a serger instead. Also we have a very nice "juki" sewing machine that is apparently missing its oil pan. I think oil pans can be made out of sheetmetal, or bought on ebay, but anyway that machine would be a good replcaement for the older machine on the wooden table, if we can get it to work better than that one. thanks you for your help! -jake On Fri Nov 28 Helen wrote: Hello, I recently was invited to sudoroom to check out the sewing machines and have tinkered with them a little bit.

Re: [sudo-discuss] [Shelter] Tiny houses made for homeless in West Oak

by Autonomous

Here's a link to a few images of a low cost "Tiny Home" concept based on truck camper RV's which are available for free or very cheap: https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/106839673035751587991/albums/60779607855… The catch is that the jacks used to raise and lower these campers are no longer functional due to structural issues with the wood frame. So I devised a way in which the camper can be rolled onto the back of a car trailer and then rolled off onto a wood platform foundation. You can see this in some of the attached images. One advantage of the truck camper is that it is not technically a "RV" since it has no wheels plus it is less than 120 square ft. So if you have a property to put one of these on then no permit is required. However, people absolutely hate these things so I modify it to make it look like a small shed. I have two of these tiny homes setup now, one in Marin near China Camp and another in the NE corner of California on a 10 acre farm. There's also an image included of a tent cabin which is technically a "fabric covered agricultural processing structure" in the eyes of the law. The land use is described as a "Tree Sanctuary" where we rescue small endangered trees and reintroduce them into the wild, hence the justification for occupying the property which we own freely with no mortgage or other banking encumbrances.

Re: [sudo-discuss] about shawn (old man who talks only nonsense)

by Jake

here's what Stan has to say about him ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 09:31:16 -0600 From: Stan Osborne <stan(a)ana.com> To: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> Subject: Re: Shawn Jake, Thanks for helping SuDo learn more about Shawn. For awhile he was a regular at Spazport. When he is at OMNI I attempt conversation. He now speaks in a manner that is understandable. I recall a few years ago when I could not understand one word of what he was trying to say. His desire to be a part of a community has not changed. Since I have known him more than a decade his eccentricities do not bother me. At h3ll he would tell me he was not involved with playing chess any more. In recent months I've seen him playing chess with others at OMNI. He has made suggestions on improving OMNI, and uses SuDo room coputers for email, etc. These are all things he has not done in some time.

Welcoming Committee: Omni's newest working group!

by Jenny Ryan

Hey all! As we prepare to open the Omni officially to the public, there's a clear and pressing need to organize around creating a welcoming and inclusive experience for newcomers and visitors to the project. The Welcoming Committee is nascent and ripe for co-constructing! Some of the ideas for activities include: * Scheduling volunteer shifts for the front door: 10am-2pm, 2pm-6pm, and 6pm-10pm * Monthly orientations to onboard committee members to the collectives, people, projects, events, policies etc they should know about to man the front desk. * Creating documentation (in tandem with the Communications WG) that we can hand out to guests - one-sheeters that make it clear and easy to see how you can volunteer and plug into the project. * Weekly potlucks (in tandem w/ Food Not Bombs Sunday leftovers). * Coordinating and assisting with Omni-wide events to bring in new folks from a diverse array of communities (eg; monthly neighborhood assemblies). The first official meeting will take place *Thursday, December 11th at 6pm in La Commune <https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/welcoming-committee/>, *but you can join the conversation now by subscribing to the mailing list at https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/welcoming or by adding ideas to our wiki page: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Welcoming_Committee or by chatting directly with me or David Brazil! <3 Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "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.

Fwd: [omni-discuss] Gaming Indiegogo for La Commune

Donation swarm on December 1st so La Commune gets mentioned on the front page of Indiegogo! Mark your calendars!!!!!!!!! Donation size does not matter.

Thanks so much for your support! Oakland's favorite commie bookstore is open Thursday through Sunday, 12-6pm and will be extending those hours soon. We're getting a great response from people in the neighborhood. So gratifying ! And our stock is growing--we're pricing and shelving some really nice books. Please stop by! So here's where we make yet another pitch. This one's pretty painless though: We've been told that a large, um, swarm of contributions on a single day will earn us a mention on the Indiegogo page, and that could lead to more donations. So, if you're willing and able, (mark your calendars now) please make a contribution (can be as little as a dollar) to La Commune on DECEMBER 1st. Everyone who does will get a free cup of house coffee when the cafe opens. Here's the link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/la-commune-cafe-and-bookstore--2 Thank you!

Here's our idea: ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] Safe hackerspaces mailing list Date: Monday, November 24, 2014, 10:44:04 PM From: Patrick O'Doherty <p(a)trickod.com> To: noisebridge-discuss(a)lists.noisebridge.net Hey all, In the interests of collaborating with other hackerspaces on safe space issues myself and Torrie have set up an inter-hackerspace mailing list to share information about folks that are not welcome in spaces as a potential warning to others. The address is safe-hackerspaces(a)lists.riseup.net. You can subscribe at riseup here: https://lists.riseup.net/www/info/safe-hackerspaces The list is *not* intended for interpersonal issues in spaces, rather it's meant for sharing notice of incidents where people have been asked to leave and not return. For this reason the list is moderated. We'd like others outside of Noisebridge to contribute to the moderation group.

Fwd: Re: [omni-discuss] Strange man sleeping in eyeball room

by Eske Silver

Oops, sorry, I keep forgetting to cc everyone in the thread. Sending this in case not everyone is getting all of the replies. ~ Korl ---------- Forwarded: Okie doke. So. I spoke the alleged permissor, and according to them, the squatter indeed lied about having been given the go ahead, and dropped their name by way of a mutual friend or somesuch situation. I'm also very glad to say, that my worries were hasty and misinformed. The squatter in question is the bald and scruffled, 40-to-50-year-old black man, who often hangs out on the exterior steps of the ballroom entryway. It's unclear exactly how he got in, but what is clear is that we need to step up our game by discussing all the ideas offered above. Now I really am going to sleep. I hope to dream that all of you are my familial elms, that our trunks are made of space elevators, and that our roots are made of billions of microscopic hedgehogs. And the hedgehogs are rowing canoes, of course. ~ Korl ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Eske Silver" <eske.silver(a)gmail.com> Date: Nov 24, 2014 3:36 PM Subject: Re: [omni-discuss] Strange man sleeping in eyeball room To: "niki" <niki.shelley(a)gmail.com> Cc: "discuss" <discuss(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, "Jenny Ryan" < tunabananas(a)gmail.com> If the situation is what I think, I feel we ought to give as much support as we can to our friend.

Perhaps a breakout session is due for anyone who isn't already aware of how to deal with agressive or threatening people. Especially for lone situations. Perhaps we ought to even start spending ten mins of the delegates meeting, revisiting the table of contents of our spankin new Conflict Resolution guidelines, every few or four weeks? And it's semi-off-topic, but this quote really snapped me out of some lame situations, "Theres never a good reason to light yourself on fire in order to keep someone else warm". Just food for thought. Omni can be a place where everyone is welcome to exist, dance, hack, cook, heal, build, etc. But if we don't feel comfortable and safe with each other, that can't last long. I dunno. I'm exhausted and gufflebrained, and I've lost my train of thought.

X marks the spot for all roof leaks!

by David Keenan

https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Leaks There appears to be some confusion about how to semi-permanently mark the location of leaks, so that the roofer knows where on the roof to fix them.. In short, we need to mark an 'X' on the floor where the leak is. If you see a leak, please quickly mark it on the floor - don't wait.. Buckets do get put out currently, but then of course, they get moved when the rain stops - and so the info about where the leak originated on the roof is basically lost, and then the roofer doesn't fix it, and it leaks again..and so on and so forth. I made the wiki page in the hopes that this SOP regarding leaks will spread and remain persistent throughout the omniverse. . thank yoo David

do not sit on ballroom SW corner bench rite now (being worked on)?

by David Keenan

Hey guys, I'm planning on remediating a liability and building code issue with the ballroom bench bench running into the middle of a small staircase leading from the ballroom floor to the 'maintenance closet' in the SW corner of the ballroom, by cutting down the length of this bench of the West side such that the stairs are properly exposed. All the bolts have been removed, but it is still affixed with either glue or deeply embedded nails on the SW corner side, won't budge, and I need to cut the very end off to remove it, but my Fein saw is gone and my skillsaw is at home.. so it's still in place. For the time being please do not sit on this bench and definitely leave the 'do not sit' signs up. David

Re: [sudo-discuss] Card Swipe not working - door stuck in unlocked position

by Jake

If you lift the mail slot and the motor makes sounds like it's trying, but the sticks don't move, it sounds like something is wrong. I don't know what, and i'm in Texas and I won't return until Wednesday, so i can't help. If you need to lock the door and the motor is not working, take out the screw that holds the top of the motor to the stick. DON'T take out the screw that holds the bottom of the motor to the bottom latch! -jake On Fri Nov 21 Niki wrote: Hey y'all I'm not sure how to fix this - I did the very technically savvy thing where you unplug stuff and I also tried turning the power off and on but even those pro moves didn't work.

Call to Action: SATURDAY 11am - 1pm IMPORTANT WORK PARTY BOOK PULL (free lunch!)

by Stephen Novotny

Dear everyone, [[The time is now to get up to fire-code. We're going to move the books out of the library, TOMORROW (Saturday) at 11am. Lunch will be included (multiple choices from the Munchery). In fact, you could get lunch and grab an extra lunch for dinner!]] There are several people who have been and continue to work hard on both the construction side and bureaucratic side of getting our beloved Commons up to code and permitted to we can be open to the public. But we must step up and help out with this process to honor the hard work folks are doing and to not jeopardize any of that work or our chances at becoming open to the public soon. In the next couple weeks an informal meeting will take place at the Omni with city permitting officials, where we'll have the opportunity to show them our space and hopefully get a better chance at getting our permits without having to raise huge amounts of money to make changes to our building. One of the first things *we absolutely must do* is remove the books and couches from the basement. Why? Because right now the city wants us to put a sprinkler system in the basement, which would cost us tens of thousands of dollars. What can we do? Give them no reason to believe the basement is a fire-hazard. This means we remove ALL of the books and other paper media, like magazines, as well as removing the couches (the pews can stay). *If anyone has extra boxes, please bring them along as we might need more than we have in the space.* On Saturday morning at 11am we'll convene at the Omni for a quick meeting to co-ordinate and then begin to box up all the books in the library and move them to a safer area. There's a ton of books and we need to deal with them somehow, so the more of us that are there the faster it will go! This should only take us two hours, so expect to be done by 1pm at which time we'll all eat lunch together and share camaraderie. Please write back with any questions or clarifications and pass this on to relevant individuals or lists. with love st
