last night several of us used human power to move the robot from its
pallet to its new home, where it is bolted to the floor.
http://spaz.org/~jake/robot/pix/boltedin.jpg
it is parked pointing straight up, so it doesn't take up extra space when
it is not being used. The control cabinet has been moved to the place
where the motorized stock saw is in this picture, in the upper left of the
frame. All the cables and stuff have been moved too, but i haven't
finished neatly arranging them or connecting everything up.
I intend to put big hooks on the wall behind, and hang the spare cables
there, out of the way.
If you are a robot hacker, know that the robot is disconnected for the
moment until a little more work is done to reconnect it and power it.
If you want to help, please run a length of CAT5 network cable (with ends
crimped on) from the server rack to the robot YASNAC. This cable will
carry RS-232 signals from the space.local sudo gateway computer to the
YASNAC. We will be using that computer instead of the 3d printer computer
as our serial interface, if there are no objections.

Hi all I'm desperately in need of one more volunteer for tonight's rental -
can anyone who hasn't already committed please come by and do Omni a solid?
If all you can do is late aft/early part of the evening, that's cool to -
2 more volunteers would be even better :)
Love,
David
All,
I'm hoping someone(s) can help:
- We need to have the scaffolding down, the ballroom and mezzanine mopped
and all it's bathrooms super dooper clean before 4pm tomorrow (Sunday) for
the $3K afternoon/evening event that goes til 10.
- I need one other person aside from Chris Bee to help keep track of bikes
that will be parked inside in The cafe & Gabriela's area. 4-10pm
- Ben, Joe and I will also volunteer at the event outside as 'neighborhood
ambassadors'
- Although they offered to pay bike parkers/watchers directly, that has
been clarified and all $ is going to Omni - not to worry.
I am hoping that those organizing Alette can help clean up after their
event - with 1.5 hands I am sort of not very efficient right now -
Can people show up at 2pm to help with this? That'd be really great -
David

Turns out my parents are only visiting for 4 days, so I shouldn't have
volunteered myself to work as an outdoor watch tomorrow. I'm really sorry
about this :( Is anyone else available to be around tomorrow evening?

November 8 is Aaron Swartz Day (Aaron's birthday) (
http://www.aaronswartzday.org) and folks are hosting hackathons in many
cities. I knew Aaron when he was a kid helping with RSS and other
protocols. A more recent friend of his, Lisa Rein, asked me if Sudo Room
would host the Sunday part (9 Nov) of the San Francisco hackathon. So...
1. Are you interested in attending? In hosting/facilitating?
2. Availability/use of Sudo's and Omni commons spaces for hackathon
purposes? On Sunday I see "Phat Beets is going to have an event to
highlight their youth program! They will need 4 hours in the ballroom (yet
to be set in stone). They are paying to rent the space." Is this a conflict?
http://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2014/11/09_RENTAL_Phat_Beets
3. Is our network ready for a few dozen concurrent demanding users? All of
the building or just some parts?
4. Ideas for food sponsors for the event?

P.S. Aaron Swartz was an American computer programmer, writer, political
organizer and Internet Hacktivist. He died last year. If you use creative
commons art, blogs and feeds, markdown, Reddit, or open data, a bit of
Aaron lives on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

Or ... it could be a halloween party. How about that? Technofuturist
robots, cool, yay. I'm down.
Tonight at Omni Film Night (in the basement) we'll be hacking a Hacker
night!
We'll be showing the new documentary, 'The Internet's Own Boy' followed by
a discussion about Aaron Swartz, the state of information in the digital
age, the word "Hacker", and more.
Any and all are welcome to come and join the discussion.
To end the night on a light note, we'll also feature the 1995 movie
'Hackers'.
As always, it's BYO(Drinks, Snacks, Pillows, Blankets, etc), but popcorn
and tea will be provided.
The first movie starts around 7:15, so don't be late!
Hope to see you there :)

Subject: Editing meetup at Double Union on Sunday October 26, 4-6 pm
To: SFLocalWiki(a)googlegroups.com
Hi everyone! Our first SF LocalWiki editathon at Double Union in August was
fun, so let's do another one on Sunday afternoon from 4-6 pm or so (we
could extend it a little earlier or later if that's easier for anyone).
Here's a blog post with details about how to visit the space, which is a
few blocks from the 16th Street BART station:
http://doubleunion.tumblr.com/post/100591807764/san-francisco-localwiki-edi…
The second part of the post proposes a theme - feminist, women-centered,
queer-centered, and/or trans-centered spaces and history in San Francisco.
It includes a bunch of links to local history materials that I've been
excited about. The area around 16th & Valencia is really rich in
interesting stories, and it makes a lot of sense for Double Union to help
bring them out and share them. :)
A related thing I've been doing is sending article links to the Mission
Mission neighborhood blog, which sometimes publishes them:
http://www.missionmission.org/2014/07/29/about-that-old-police-station/ +
http://www.missionmission.org/2014/08/25/about-that-big-hulking-building-th…
The San Francisco subreddit can also be a good place to post individual
articles that are likely to appeal to a broad audience:
http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2c5gpz/old_mission_police_sta…
+
http://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/2ee6gt/ever_curious_what_that…
This shares the information with more people (yay!), and sometimes you get
great comments with tips that you can integrate into the articles. It could
be fun to aim for writing more articles that could be distributed like this.

Looks fun! Right now the way to book events is:
1) check the calendar for conflicts: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Calendar
2) submit this form: bit.ly/omniballroom
Full explanation and future changes to the process will go here:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/How_to_book_events
Remember how a few weeks ago we all got together to shoot a video? Well,
the good news is it's almost done! But before we can publish our
Kickstarter/Indiegogo/whatever campaign, we've gotta rustle up some perks
and rewards for our contributors. What does that mean? Well, you know how
on Kickstarter you can get a copy of a musician's album if you donate X
amount? We need to have things to offer, too. What are those things, and at
what dollar amount?
Some ideas:
3d-printed schwag, $10
Badges!, $25
One-on-one sessions with the giant robotic arm, $2000, limit: 5 sessions

Damn, wish I had taken a closer look at that event description. I
agree with hep, it looks pretty alienating. Let's have a robot-themed
halloween party instead. Beep boop.

Hi friends,
The Naomi Klein event is happening this Sunday morning at 10am.
I am going to spend as much time as I have tomorrow (Saturday) cleaning up
the ballroom and doing any little touch up jobs that I can.
If anyone is around I would greatly appreciate your help!
Things that need to get done:
- Remove from windows and store sound proofing baffles (these can probably
go into the ticket booth room - extra points if you feel like painting them
black!)
- Putting away tools on the stage - I organized these several weeks ago and
look at them! (cry!!!)
- Moving all sound equipment / speakers from stage - anyone know who this
stuff belongs to? If you can direct me, I will contact them!
- Moving punching bag - is this meant to live in the ballroom? Can we
identify a place to store it during events? Maybe the ticket booth room?
- General sweeping / dusting / cleaning

Hi all,
SudoInfo just received this email about an upcoming November event.
Is anyone interested in attending this event?
I'm interested in popping in and at least seeing what it's about.
I would be willing to go as a Sudo ambassador (to at least make contact
with the group/s who put this together) if no one else is interested/ free.

Add another projector? Did BAPS get another one? :)
I really would love to see an Omni-wide inventory management system that
has an integrated reservation protocol, which would help streamline aspects
of events like this. Unfortunately, this would be a lot of work to maintain
(I'm told).
So for now, I think having an online database with all of Omni's (and it's
collectives') open access tools/machines/etc with contact info for each is
the best way to go.
I.e. Sending a direct email or text to whomever owns/stewards the
tool/machine someone wishes to use, and the owner/steward keep track of the
item's calendar.
It's what people have already been doing, but I still see that there is
confusion around the topic.
I hope this helps a bit, but we ought to solidify this process into a
version that's more accessible to everyone.

Hello!
The Omni needs funds. Dia de los Muertos is a thing. We would like to
introduce new people to the space and expand our community.
I have attached a flyer for a possible event, a funky transhumanist/Dia de
los Muertos themed costume ball. Should this happen? Is there a reason
anyone would like to block?
Also, steampunk zombies! Mechanical corpses! Post-singularity glittery
things covered in LEDs! Ordinary awesome humans!
