Sudo meetings and Omni delegation

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, Who will be the sudo room delegate tonight? It's not clear from the notes, and it would appear that the items up for consensus at tonight's Omni meeting were not discussed. For future sudo meetings, please set aside some time each week to designate the delegate and check the Omni delegates meeting pad, where items up for consensus are listed: https://pad.riseup.net/p/omninom All delegates should also join this (low-traffic) mailing list: https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/consensus Thanks and <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.

Board Meeting Notes

by Maximilian Klein

A:"You're basically an executive" M:"I wish employers would see it that way" https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2014-10-27 ==Attendees == * potential: Vicky, April, Yar, Whitney, Jenny, Anca, Matt, Hol, Julio, Scott * actual: julio, cere, anca, yar, hol, max, vicky, scott, brendan, april, matt, marc * official board members here: julio, hol, max, vicky, matt, anca, marc * quorum: 7. JUST BARELY. ==Next Meeting== * Next Year's Meeting will be on: 2015-10-20. October the twentieth in two thousand fifteen in the year of our lord, common era. * Max will schedule email $ date -d 'Tuesday, October 20, 2015 7:00 PM PDT' +%s 1445392800 ==501c3== * Create an action plan and deadline to complete our 501(c)(3) application. * Whitney, Vicky and April will bottom-line this. Julio is on stand-by. * Since our 501(c)(3) form has not been completed, we need to fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year (2013). ==State Tax things== * Due Nov. 7. * Matt, Julio and Hol will bottom line it and working on it tonight. == CT1 == * did we file this last year? == New Treasurer == Find a new Treasurer to replace Max. General Responsibilities: # be responsible for filing yearly taxes, # deposit misc. funds into the bank account # give out misc money that sudo room approves # report to sudo room the state of finances. Also, Fundraising: * Additionally, since Sudo Room is once again receiving less income each month than expenditure, a good Treasurer would have some fundraising ideas, and/or want to execute other's ideas. Who wants to do it? * We're pretty sure treasurer is liable for all sudo's debts, and also omni's debts since we're a signatory on the omni lease. But not 100% sure. Also, people are saying if we get 501c3 that won't be an issue. * Do we have a transparent sheet listing where all the money goes? Not really but we can mine the meeting notes. It's pretty much just omni shared expenses + internet. * Anca's done stuff before. Mentions quickbooks. * Matt points out membership roles: exchequer. separate from the state-mandated role. they should be doing the work. * To be very clear, our values don't call for a powerful treasurer position. This is just something the state requires us to do. We will absolutely limit their power and responsibility to that and only that. * Vicky and Scott are both interested. * Vicky wonders whether she's even a member anymore. But you don't have to be a member to be on the board. * lots and lots of debate over sudoroom's debt and hypothetical disaster scenarios * yet another tangent about dvorak keyboards * shouldn't we figure out general board membership first? * lots of confusion over our bylaws. we need to read them in full again. they were just copied from noisebridge. * you have to go to one meeting a year. that's really the bare minimum. * apparently california also requires from a 501c3: president, secretary, CEO, Treasurer and/or CFO ** http://www.nonprofitlawblog.com/treasurer-duties/ * marc is willing to do it * unanimous vote of present board members, plus jenny remotely: Marc Juul is our new treasurer, replacing Max Klein. '''Voted 7-0 in favour of Making Marc Juul new Treasurer''' == New People == Discuss refreshing the Board with a new set of members. * Update Board page on the wiki: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board * who wants to be on the board this year? raise your hand: vicky, scott, anca, julio, matt * are we keeping the other folks? * einstein could be chairdog * last time everybody was nominated * april wants to do it * We'll put another round of nominations to the mailing list ==Address Change== We have to notify California that our address has changed. We're no longer at 2141 Broadway... ==Meeting Notes== discussion about board members and role of the members. Who should be a member? ==A third working group (Matt and Vicky and)== Write a description fro board memebers for treasurer, then blast the list and announce for a timeline for nominating new board members, and timeline for voting on them then april will make an announcement at the general meeting this week == outtake== what was your favorite thing about this meeting? * scott laughing at his jokes * seeing all of you here! * efficient. sudo meetings are getting shorter. * low-key. and fixing my IDE. * wine club. and everyone here. * they already did everything when i got here * chips & guac * that we don't know what the hell we're doing * the we accomplished our purpose - find a new treasurer * that we had quorum, and that our next meeting is on Tuesday October 20th 2015 Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/

There's only one consensus item on the pad - to spend $1k of omni money on ballroom soundproofing materials - and Sudoroom already discussed it at last week's meeting (with unanimous yes).

Meeting Notes 10/29

by Jenny Ryan

Announcements: * New Board nominations begin in 20 days * Marc Juul is our new treasurer * We are cleaning and organizing sudo RIGHT NOW - come and help! * Film night tonight! * What we want and don't want: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Donations New Members * For extended pondering: Claire - wants to run zine workshops! drawing, crafts! * For extended pondering: Trisha - also zines, excited about the sewing machines :) * Alex has been pondered, is now a member! Money * ~ $3700 in the bank, November rent and October shared expenses paid ($2340.86) * Now making $570/week on Gratipay! New goal is $1K/week Second Internet Line * Jenny checking with Sonic.net about a second line Backspace Proposal Consensus on the backspace proposal: - As long as this is a 3 month trial period we agree to the proposal, with the following amendments: - backspace does not take the downstairs room and pays $750 per month instead. - backspace has no special privilege over any other member collective in accessing or regulating access to common space. - In addition: sudo room feels that backspace, being a for-profit renting private space, should be a tenant and not a member collective but we can discuss this over the next three months. Conflict Resolution - Update on conflict with ban of person that Pigeon asked us to ban. Referred to as J. - Korl and Liz are finishing up an interview with one more person and they are leaning toward proposing a lift of the provisional ban of J we passed at a meeting earlier this month. - Korl and Liz are very interested in preventing blind solidarity (which seemed likely to occur unless someone spoke up), especially without having both sides of the story, and as much information as possible. We are also keen on working to help set a fair precident for situations like this; that both sides of a story/ incedent are sought out by an objective party, before Any decisions are made, to prevent social bias and blind solidarity. - Important aspects: None of the people involved in the conflict are members of the Omni, and the conflict happened three years ago. This issue was brought up by a person who is not part of the Omni and has been known to act untrustworthily and dishonestly, within the greater community. - Juul proposes a 1 month ban of person who was using a knife to attempt to open the omni door and when confronted was super rude, calling one of our members a bitch. Person was drunk. Juul and others kicked this person out yesterday and told him that him he was banned until it could be brought up at todays meeting where he could show up. He looked disheveled and was holding a can of beer but seemed otherwise reasonable and attempted to defend his attempt at opening the door as trying to demonstrate a security problem and said he wished to apologize to the person he was rude to. - Remote-Jenny votes yes on ban. - One abstention, rest approve. Passes. - Need to take a picture. - Proposal: Temporary Ban of Chris B (unspecified duration) for being in "bad standing" with regard to sudo room's values, specifically in disregarding the needs of the sudo room and omni communities with his use of the space above the stage (aka "crow's nest" aka "man cave"), as well as often attempting to sleep in the space, despite warnings, confrontations, and a clear expectation of it not being permitted. - During the BACH Unconference, Mitch Altman found Chris B sleeping under a sign in the basement that read "No Sleeping". - Amendment and consensus: Any further sleeping by ChrisB at Omni will result in an immediate temporary ban.

Fwd: Dia de los Muertos fundraiser: is happening?

by Lesley Bell

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lesley Bell <zvezdalune(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 2:38 PM Subject: Re: [sudo-discuss] Dia de los Muertos fundraiser: is happening? To: Vicky Knox <vknoxsironi(a)gmail.com> You're right Vicky. The flyer has been changed--it is, after all, better to make death obsolete than the remembrance of it, although some people believe that technological resurrection may be possible someday. Also, no one brought it up, but I realized it could be possible that the very Halloween-ish nature of the event could be somewhat offensive. People who are perceived to be using technology in way that transgresses the traditionally accepted human form are very much discriminated against, e.g. Steve Mann's attack in France. I've been called a "cyborg freak," and "autistic" for my wearable tech experimentation. I hoped to address this perceived uncanniness of these technologies through the playful "cyborg zombie" invitation, but I understand that that could be very offensive to some people questioning their primate-body-identities who have been harassed or attacked because of other people's fear. This has been an interesting discussion. I appreciate all of your feedback very much. Here's the new flyer. Peace everyone!

OPD data

by Rachelle Annechino

Hi sudo-discuss, I've been doing some poking around looking into police accountability in the US... seems like one major stumbling block is a lack of public access to police data. Here in Oakland, it looks like OPD has a ton of data on use of force and complaints that could be de-identified and made available to the public, used in data visualizations, etc. -- but isn't. (Not that OPD's data should be the only data source in investigating accountability, but I figure it's a start. Also it looks like *some* of this data is available, but it's a super limited subset + kind of all over the place) Recently I requested some data through RecordTrac <http://records.oaklandnet.com>, chatted with the public records request coordinator... just kind of curious about what would happen and how it worked. A lot of the OPD requests I saw on RecordTrac received PDF documents as responses -- but OPD is entering this stuff electronically AFAIK; you'd think a structured dataset would be easier to produce if anything. Anyway, I'm wondering if other people on this list are interested in this stuff, have suggestions, thoughts, etc. It seems like there should be a coordinated effort out there working on work on this, but I haven't found one (?) Thanks!

** Urgent - need help to dissassemble FREE WORKING WALKIN into basement kitchen

by David Keenan

Hi all, The restauranteur who let us take the compressor and condenser for our upstairs walkin fridge, has offered to let us dissassemble another walk-in at another of his restaurants in SF that he is remodelling -- IF we do it asap. He wants us to come tomorrrow - I realize this is probably too soon for us to organize properly, but I would like a crew of Omniers to be able to do it perhaps the day after tomorrow. This would be perfect for a walk-in in the basement kitchen, so that it can be a more professional woking kitchen that can help pay us and FNB back for the money we are spending fixing it up. This has been part of the plan for the basement kitchen since the beginning, so this is amazing and great! It could go either into the room by the furnaces or part of the current larger pantry along shattuck. To disassemble this beast I think ideally we want at least four people, as well as Carl from People's Refridgeration to disconnect the compressor properly and remove the refridgerant. We will also want someone who know how to safely cap off the electrical and plumbing. We also want to bring several drills, an anglegrinder, the fien saw, a full hex key set and set of wrenches, and electrical tools. - there are lots and lots of screws. Last time, Alice was an unstoppable force of nature who told us how to disassemble it all and did most of the heavy lifting herself. This time around, if Alice is free, it would be best if Alice directed us and others did most of the work. Alice really went all-out last time on our behalf and we need to do this ourselves. The restauranteur also has lots of chairs and tables that we could use in La Commune, which is awesome, plus lots of other stuff / infrastructure.. David

MiMi Nguyen On Epic Dream Dates with Keanu Reeves, Tenure & Obscurantist Labor @ RADAR Productions

by Romy＠snowyla

She's righteous!!! http://www.radarproductions.org/mimi-nguyen-on-epic-dream-dates-with-keanu-… MiMi Nguyen On Epic Dream Dates with Keanu Reeves, Tenure & Obscurantist Labor MiMi will be reading at the November 4 Radar Reading Series at the San Francisco Public Library. We asked her some questions about dating, writing and advice for artists. Tell us about something that challenged you during your last (or a current) project. The worst thing about writing the first book (The Gift of Freedom) was that I had to finish it according to an external deadline – tenure. At some point I found I wasn’t writing to answer a question about liberal empire, or to close the circle of the argument, but to meet an institutional metric for a “productive” scholar. And even though I was writing with friends confronting the same metric –we would literally sit in a room together and write for hours, next to one another, chatting about a sentence one minute and leading each other through some stretches another—it was still an incredibly isolating experience. The moment I remembered that I had an intensely satisfying creative and intellectual life long before I came to the academy was transformative. A feminist literary scholar named Janice Radway came to my campus and in a lecture discussed my work as a zinester (with particular reference to the Race Riot compilations, and feminist critical theory in my zines) and its relationship to my scholarship now. I had been feeling so under seige on the tenure track that I cried for a few days afterward, because I understood so acutely what I had been missing for the last few years – which was writing to the question, for the argument, and of course, for myself. You get to have an epic dream date with anyone dead or alive: who are they and where do you go on your date? My friends reading this would know it’s a lie if I chose anyone but Keanu Reeves. That said, I have no idea what an “epic dream date” would be, and having only been on a few “proper” dates, and it seems like it would be awkward to go on a grown-up, straight-person date with Keanu Reeves. But pretending as if this isn’t the most awkward question, we could just go to a punk show on his motorcycle (or if he still has access to that time-traveling telephone booth, we could take the booth to the Hong Kong Café to see The Bags or The Go-Go’s in 1979), and then spend a few hours going through the boxes of zines and records in my living room I haven’t made time to read or listen to yet. After that, we could choreograph a mash-up of a movie-fu fight with Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” dance and put it on YouTube as a performance piece. I hope he kept his sleeveless denim jacket from River’s Edge, because I would wear the crap out of it in the video. (Also I would be wearing Madonna’s boots from Desperately Seeking Susan, since those are the most epic shoes.) And then we could make a 24-hour zine about making art and getting older, and I could impress him with my carefully hoarded Letraset collection. I should note that I am answering these questions with a cold fogging my brain. The other night, while otherwise wiped out on Advil, I randomly started a site to archive all the responses to Kara Walker’s “A Subtlety, or The Marvelous Sugar Baby.” I am totally a good time, Keanu. Give us one piece of advice you want to share with artists – about life, bills, process, editing, brainstorming, anything. I don’t have advice as much as I have “random questions about the nature of work.” How do we reproduce troubling measures of civic and capitalist productivity through binaries of activity/passivity in our cultural work? How do we evaluate an artistic process or object or experience? Through what measures of value, accountability – and to whom? As a scholar, I hear from both administrators and activists that the intellectual labor I do “should” yield concrete outcomes – whether in publications or grants, or in something measurable as “social change.” I worry about what these utilitarian (and sometimes authoritarian) demands mean for us, especially because I want to hold out a place for creative and intellectual labors that are slow to unfurl, or otherwise appear to the efficacious eye as useless, obscurantist, impractical, marginal, or wholly unproductive.

Re: [sudo-discuss] Dia de los Muertos fundraiser: is happening?

by Vicky Knox

Hi Lesley, I would strongly suggest a language change to the flyer. The flyer currently asks: "What would Nov. 1 look like if Dia de los Muertos was obsolete?" For me, Día de los Muertos is a day to immortalize my loved ones who have passed away. Given this sentiment, the idea of it becoming "obsolete" doesn't make sense to me. Also, I'm certain you don't mean it this way, but I feel like it even borders on judgmental, like it brushes off that sentiment and the immortality of the event itself. I would suggest language that asks how Día de los Muertos might be reimagined in a futurist framework. Does that make sense? Thank you, Vicky

light-up disco dancefloor

by Jake

I just want to remind everyone that the disco dancefloor can light up, but the controller doesn't exist anymore. John (the landlord) says that all the lights in there work, which means all we need is a controller. I have plenty of relay boards we can hook up to that stuff, so anyone who is interested in getting the lightup dancefloor working again should let me know, and we can work on it together. Or at least i can supply you with the parts and materials and help you if you get stuck. -jake On Mon, 27 Oct 2014, niki wrote: > Hi Noemie! > The Disco room is currently OMNIdance's space (until the end of November, I believe) so they are the ones you should speak to about this. > > After November, the Disco room may get folded back in to the commons at which point this would be the right place to direct inquiries about reserving time > there :) > > <3 > > Niki > > On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 3:13 PM, Noemie Serfaty <noemieserfaty(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > Is it possible to book the disco room from 5 to 6:30 pm on sundays for free yoga classes? > > Thank you! > Noémie > -- > Noémie Serfaty > 108 rue du Faubourg du Temple > 75011 Paris > Tel: 06 27 76 88 84 > Tel: 01 71 50 51 82 > noemieserfaty(a)gmail.com > > _______________________________________________ > booking mailing list > booking(a)lists.omnicommons.org > https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/booking > > > >

Workgroup Membership

by Timothy Baron

Last night Kevin mentioned that the Sudo Room is expected to have at least three of its members participating in Omni Workgroups. Are we satisfying that requirement? I know Ben is in the permits/construction workgroup. And I think Yar is a part of the recently created scheduling workgroup. Is there anyone else? If not, is anyone willing to step up?

funky fridge

by refugia

I noticed last night that one of the fridges upstairs is making louder noises, sounds problematic. I think it's the fan. Does anyone know about refrigerators? -P

RSVP for Board Meeting + Action Items

by Vicky Knox

Hello fellow (and future?) Board of Responsibility and Little Power members, In case you missed it, we're planning a meeting that will happen within the next week. It should be delicious (potluck style). Please RSVP with your preferred time slots here: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/sudofivezero1c3/ Here are things that need to be discussed/done: *We need to create an action plan and deadline to complete our 501(c)(3) application. *Since our 501(c)(3) form has not been completed, we need to fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year (2013). *We need to find a new Treasurer to replace Max. *We may want to discuss refreshing the Board with a new set of members. *We need to update the Board page on the wiki: https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Board I've started a planning document with these items and space for meeting notes, here: <https://pad.riseup.net/p/2014sudoboard>. Please add anything you think is missing. Below is a message from Matt S. with more details and relevant documents attached. Cya, Vicky ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Date: 2014-10-19 12:41 GMT-07:00 Subject: [sudo-board] Submitting Tax Information to State of California by Nov 7 To: sudo-discuss <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org>, Board of Responsiblity and Little Power <board(a)lists.sudoroom.org> We received a notice from the State of California Franchise Tax Board, notifying us that (since we have yet to submit or complete our 501(c)3 application) we must fill out state form 3500 to convince California not to levy state taxes for last year, 2013. I've filled out this form to the best of my knowledge so far, but it is incomplete. It needs some more attention. See attached: "state_tax_form_3500_sudo_room.pdf" which should have saved my submitted values to many of the required fields. We need a few things: 1. Review what I've already added (make sure dates and such are correct!) 2. Complete the rest of the form to the best of our ability 3. See if any lawyerly advice can help us ensure this goes smoothly 4. *Submit before Friday November 7* (30 days from October 9, 2014) "Send us either your tax exempt letter, Form 3500, Form 3500A, or Form 100 with a copy of this letter within the next 30 days or we may issue a tax assessment based on available information. A penalty of 25% of the additional tax may be assessed for failure to provide information upon written request." // Matt _______________________________________________ Board mailing list Board(a)lists.sudoroom.org https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/board

free lockers up for grabs (in SF)

by Patrik D'haeseleer

They've been sitting out on the curb since this afternoon. Definitely worth checking out if someone happens to have a truck in SF though: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/zip/4733003784.html Patrik

Re: [sudo-discuss] Piccolo - the tiny cnc robot

by Jake

that's a neat little device, but don't forget that our 3d printers can do the same stuff and they're already built and sitting there! you can attach a marker to the head of one of our 3d printers and use it to write stuff, just like the piccolo does, except it will be way more accurate. Maybe a little slower but not necessarily. also we have a bunch of those smaller 3d printers from "3d systems" that were donated, and people should start playing with them once we get the space back put together. -jake On Fri Ben wrote: http://www.piccolo.cc/ <http://www.piccolo.cc/> Tiny CNC robot does tiny things in video… including watercolor!
